Brian P Mekelburg, MD

Best dermatologist, maybe doctor, I’ve ever seen. I meet him for an appointment yesterday morning. He was amazing. He was smart, friendly, respectful and reassuring. He took the time to listen to everything I had to say– all of my concerns and questions. He gave me his full attention without rushing me. He also took the time to go over my prescription and made sure I understood everything. If you have the option of seeing him, definitely go. You won’t regret it.

Dr Mekelburg and his staff are very friendly and take really good care of their patients. 2 thumbs up!

I just had the best experience at Dr. Meckelburg’s office. The staff was so nice, we didn’t have to wait very long, and Dr. Meckelburg gave me some really good advise about a skin problem that I was worried about for a long time. He gave me some samples as well as a prescription. In a few days, my issue improved dramatically. Dr. Meckelburg is the best!

I had an awful allergic reaction, of course during the weekend, and my son suggested to call Dr Mekelburg. He called back and gave me a prescription right away and saw me first thing on Monday. He saved me from a monster swelling of my forehead and head and I continued going to him from then on.
He is thorough and kind and very effective. I never had to wait more than a few minutes and I became a loyal patient, in spite of the distance from my house. Super ethical and up to date with all the treatments available he is also a great advisor for cosmetic procedures, even though he downplays them a bit. I trust this honest and hardworking doctor!

I called and while the woman was very nice, she advised that there could be an hour to an hour and a half wait time. I declined to even make an appointment as my time is too valuable. If you can’t keep an appointment within 15 or so minutes, you shouldn’t schedule it.

Dr. Mekelburg, the nurses, and staff are wonderful! Very honest, clear, and will be patience with you when you call over and over with questions! If I have any other skin issues I would go back to Dr. Mekelburg.
Thanks a lot everyone!

I have been going to Brian (Dr. Mekelburg) for years now, and I can confidently say you will not find a better dermatologist then him. I have had problems with my skin since my early 20’s and I had seen many doctors prior. I had tried hundreds of creams and products and treatments and nothing had worked. As soon as I started going to Dr. Mekelburg my skin cleared up. He is highly knowledgeable and his products work wonders. Not only is he a miracle worker, he is also very kind and professional! His staff is also extremely sweet, and I enjoy my time in the office. I highly recommend making an appointment!

I’m not sure what people are complaining about as far as wait, I’ve had 2 appointments and haven’t had to wait long at all. This guy really cares about his patients, what’s what came through the most to me after my visits.
It was not working out with me where I was being treated and paid out of pocket to come see him. I could not be happier with my visits with him and I will surely be going back to him. He seriously cares about his patients, I can’t stress how much I felt that after going to him.

Dr. Mekelburg is a wonderful physician! He performed multiple cyst removals from my scalp and was quite informative throughout. He and his staff are great and they make sure that you do not have a dull moment. Anything to do with skin, I go to Dr. Mekelburg. As good as it gets!

Dr. Mekelburg is absolutely wonderful. Not only is he a great doctor, he is a really nice person. I came in to have my moles checked and ultimately had to have a few removed. They have healed really well and and the whole procedure was completely painless. So happy & relieved to have finally found a good dermatologist!

Dr. Mekelburg is a great dermatologist. I had an emergency a few weeks back and he fit me in last minute. Dr. Mekelburg and his staff took good care of me and were all very kind. I referred my mom to him and she had a great experience as well!!!

I had a very pleasant first visit this morning. Dr. Mekelburg’s staff, especially his nurse, was very courteous and helpful. Dr. Mekelburg was compassionate and made a concerted effort to explain my situation in detail. I will be returning.

Bottom Line: super nice guy, very confident, easy to talk to and fast!
I have been to him a few times to address possibly cancerous skin issues and he has had to remove a few of them.
These were incredibly painless and fast procedures and I healed up very quickly! I just made an appointment to see him again… good guy!

Dr. Mekelburg is as kindly as they come! I reached out to him as a new patient after a second degree burn on my arm was not healing well (I should have called a doctor sooner) and he made time to review and respond with a prescription he called in to my pharmacy. Once i started using what he prescribed, the swelling and some pain subsided and the skin started to scab (therefore heal). His office squeezed me in first thing the following Monday morning with a smile and pleasant care… his nurses were so cheerful and attentive, too!
With cautionary instructions to avoid the sunlight on the wound and encouragement that it may heal and fade over time, I will return to see him in 7 weeks. Why? That’s when the body will start deciding how to deal with the next steps of wound healing and he can determine better how to treat it at that point in the healing process.
I am grateful to have found Dr. Mekelburg and would recommend him highly.

Dr. Mekelburg has been my dermatologist for a number of years and I haven’t experienced any of the negative things mentioned by other reviewers. It’s kind of confusing. I have waited longer if my appointments are in the afternoon but nothing stands out as too egregious. And I’ve found his nurses really friendly! I’ll always be grateful to the doctor as he recommended I have a birthmark on my scalp removed which I never would have thought of on my own. It didn’t look any different to me, but he knew it was problematic. Indeed, it turned out to be cancerous. I’m sorry all of these people had such a hard time in Dr. Mekelburg’s office, but I find him super thorough and nice!

Dr Mekelburg is a good and competent doctor. Unfortunately his nurse, the primary person you interact with, is highly inappropriate, always makes very snide comments and is downright rude. I don’t know if she thinks she is funny, but she comes across as offensive every time. It’s worn thin over the years and I have no plans to return to the office. The other downside? Be prepared to ALWAYS wait at least an hour to be seen.

I saw Dr. Mekelberg many years ago for skin cancer on my face. Although, the doctor «appeared» to be kind and experienced, I had some issues with his bedside manners. I recently saw him again, and to no surprise, his demeanor regarding cash patient payments remains the same… Awful! He assumes the position of being a «healer» but his true position, and sadly, only concern is MONEY! Just one more thing: his nurse said some very inappropriate comments regarding seeing naked patients, especially the elderly. so out of place!

I had a HORRIBLE stress breakout ALL OVER my face. It looked like I slept drunk in a fire aunt bed. I had maybe 10 bumps/​zitz blemishes on my EYELIDS. I can’t believe the MIRACLE that Brian made happen for my face. I don’t have health insurance, so I was incredibly scared, but his fees are fair for a «broke artist», and he treated me as delicately as I needed in my time of sensitivity. THANK YOU, Brian P Mekelburg and your caring, friendly staff for clearing up my acne, and treating me like a friend, not a # patient, or dollar sign. I’ve been going to him for over a year now. He’s maintained a happy, healthy me, so I can have confidence when I walk into auditions now.
May God bless you all as you deserve.

As a follow-​up to a previous review I provided on Dr. God, due to his incompetence I had to undergo a painful, extensive and expensive MOHS surgery on the same site he removed a basal cell cancer. With a hole the diameter of a golf ball and $ 4,500.00 poorer I am finally rid of the cancer and any future dealings with this asshole.
Good riddance Dr. Mekelburg!!!

He is a very good doctor but he will make you wait an hour every time. It is very rude and unprofessional.
