This doctor is rude and ALWAYS in a hurry. He misdiagnosed my skin cancer twice. His medical assistant does a way better job than he does. Horrible experience.

I have been a patient of Dr. Lynn's for 3 years and he has consistently provided great care. He has always been attentive and very thorough. If you need a dermatologist in the SB area I would recommend you make an appointment.

This “doctor” did not go to medical school to help people. His attitude and lack of caring shows he is in this profession for the paycheck and the paycheck only. AVOID THIS DOCTOR! Rude and will maybe grace you with a minute of his time. Not worth the effort or the wait to be treated this poorly.

37 year old Rikk Lynn was rude did not say hello and entire appointment lasted 8 minutes, he misdiagnosed my skin condition and he wanted to give me Accutane that has been pulled from market due to gastro side effects. STAY AWAY FROM RIKK LYNN MD. !!!

I went to see Dr Lynn today. The receptionist made the lady in front of me as well as myself wait without any acknowledgement. Then when the elderly woman (late 70's) got to the window the receptionist rudely questioned her as to why she was late. And told her she was to arrive 15 min. Prior to her appt. time. Her tone with this lady was rude and condescending. I said to the elderly lady "wow I can't believe she said that to you." When it was my turn she told me I was late and would have to reschedule...I guess she showed me!ð??³ I won't be going back to that office. Probably Dr. Lynn has plenty of patients and could care less...but if your doctor wants to refer you to Dr.Rikk, I'd request someone else. This woman is clearly on a power trip.
