Dermatology Associates

Awful! Conflicting information about appointment was given to me many times. My doctor left and I was never told. I’m left confused and without my prescriptions.

Amazing and friendly! Dr. Amy Akland was so sweet and thorough and I loved her demeanor. Go.

This dermatology is the best I’ve been to, and I have needed dermatology help for over 20 years! I think the negative reviews come from writers who don’t understand health insurance rules. There is ALWAYS a co-​pay (unless you have certain MassHealth plans) and usually follow-​up visits are very short. I have worked in a psychiatry office before, and visits were often 10 minutes for a medication adjustments. Co-​pays are still required. That is how insurance works and is no reflection of this particular dermatology practice.
I saw Amy Akland last year and she was wonderful. I actually prefer Physician Assistants over doctors because they seem to genuinely care about their patients, take the time to explain things and just have an overall humble, kind bedside manner. She really knew her stuff and I look forward to my next appointment.

I’ve been to this location twice and couldn’t be more disappointed. I looked through my provider list and saw this dermatologist listed so I called up for an appointment. When I arrived, I was told that I would be seeing Stephanie Delaney. Not the doctor, but the physician’s assistant. Huh. Ok. Thought I booked an appointment with a doctor…
Stephanie was very pleasant and listened to all my concerns. She suggested a round of medication to help with acne and I went on my way with my prescription. And a $ 20 co-​pay for not seeing an actual doctor. Hmm.
Took several months of the medication and saw no difference. I call the office to see if I can up the dosage (which she suggested was the next step if the initial dose wasn’t effective) and I was told I need to book an appointment. Oh, I see. I get medication that doesn’t work and have to come in and pay yet another co-​pay just to have the dosage changed (as was suggested the first time). And it’s not like they had to test my blood or anything to make sure levels were okay. I literally sat down, said nope no changes, and got a new prescription.
Time to find a new dermatologist.
