Bay Pointe Dermatology and Cosmetic Center

Hey Janice it Alexander B, your the best dermatologist in Florida, your staff is amazing, and your super nice and Kristine C. Has nothing on you! ;)

Dr. Lima is amazing! She’s professional yet friendly and most importantly she listens to you. She cares about your skin! She has saved me from horrible acne. I spent so much time and money in other places when I should have come here, first. I will not waste my time or let anyone recommend useless products for my face any more. She’s been a blessing. Her staff is also wonderful. The facial specialist is also the best! She’s takes her time and leaves your face clean!

Good

I have been seeing Dr. Lima for the past four years. She is an excellent dermatologist. I am happy that she is the one who makes me look fresh and more beautiful. I feel confident with her performing any cometic procedure on me.

Dr. Lima was recommended by a friend and the whole team is amazing. I personally haven’t met her in person but her niece is the Doctor that takes care of me with bad adult acne, her name is Dr. Breatriz and she’s the greatest to be honest and her assistant Vivian, and for the first time I did a facial and it was awesome with Janet. Make sure when you go ask especially for Janet she’s the best! pain free and my face feels like a baby’s behind.

I have been seeing Dr. Lima for several years now for cosmetic and some occasional «oh, by the way Doc, what’s this thing, can you make it go away while I am here?» treatments. On a personal level, I find Dr. Lima to be extremely warm, friendly and personable. Her staff are the same! The front desk staff are a little more reserved, but just as kind and nice. The office is clean, modern and nicely decorated. Now as far as knowledge and technique, which is why you go to your doctor anyway, Dr. Lima is not only top in her field, she keeps extraordinary patient notes and while my very first Botox, Juvaderm and now Voluma treatments were really, really good, the longer I go to her, OMG the BETTER she gets!!! For those reviews who say she or the staff are over selling — I don’t get it! I also come to Dr. Lima with my sister and another family member’s visits and I always ask if I look alright or need a tweak and she has never once said yes. Same with the line of products. Now I must tell you, Dr. Lima’s own line of Barely There and Mighty Aphrodite moisturizers are THE BEST. My only complaint is that they don’t contain SPF, but I always forget to tell her (maybe she will see this LOL :). If you have sensitive skin and or are prone to breakouts, these creams are inexpensive compared to what you will find at Sephora and feel amazing on your skin. Dr. Lima has only recommended maybe 2 – 3 other products to me over the past 7 years and she has never steered me wrong (i.e.: skin brightening pills, a pimple zapper). These things have been my «can’t live without’s», so thank god she and her staff told me about them as I’ve received many complements on my skin as a result of Dr. Lima’s work, recommendations, and products! I wouldn’t let anyone else touch my face.

First time visitor/​patient with Dr.
Lima and I am very satisfied so far. I waited about an hour before being seen by the doctor however both the medical assistant and doctor were very apologetic for the delay in being brought in. I found Dr. Lima to be very professional and empathetic and rather than suggesting a solution prior to hearing my concerns she actually heard me out, answered all of my questions and THEN explained her course of action. I was prescribed 4 different medications all of which they called into a local pharmacy and was also suggested a few of the office products. It was a no hassle process and I didn’t feel pressured into having to buy their line. Hopefully the prescriptions take affect and my concerns are taken care of. Overall a positive first time visit.

overall its a good dermatology center! there was a long waiting time but it was worth the wait!

I have been treated by 3 different dermatologists in the Miami Dade County area and I am happy to say I finally found a keeper! Dr. Lima is a true expert in her field. She has an excellent ‘bed-​side” manner strives to ensure you are happy with her service. Her staff is knowledgable, courteous and shows a genuine interest in their patients. I finally feel confident I am in good hands.

So far, I have been to see Dr. Lima twice for both cosmetic as well as dermatology.
Each time has been a positive experience.
She has always been on time or very close to on time with her appointments which is not typical for doctors. Today I went to see her for one place on my skin I was worried about and she found another on my abdomen. She offered to do biopsies right then and there. Overall I have found Dr. Lima to be pleasant, professional, and friendly.
As far as the Unilocal customer who complained about the product they offer… all doctors are doing this, including my OB/​GYN, salons and spas, and dentist. You cannot go anywhere without being offered product. If you don’t want any, just say no thank you, it is that simple.

I’ve been struggling to write a review for this place because she is a doctor but truth be told, I think others need to know about what happened to me and why.
I went to visit Dr. Lima because I had a bump on my leg that was discolored and needed checking and removal. Please see the picture I posted. Somehow, I came home with a TON of products I didn’t ask for or use and that is my fault for not saying NO to her pushy staff! Aside from that, she freaked me out because a have a little rosacea and she told me I could end up deformed if I didn’t do something about it. She told me about a product with a little retrinal in it. I told her in the past, I’ve had a really bad reaction to retinoids. So she, in a derogatory way insulted me and told me that she had been practicing dermatology for umpteen years and she knew what she was doing and that retrinal was NOT a retinoid product and that the level was the lowest and it would do nothing to me. SOOO of course after making me feel like like an idiot because I’m not a doctor and giving her the benefit of the doubt, I take the product and a slew of others I probably didn’t need all because I wanted to treat a spot on my leg. Whatever, it’s my own fault for not just walking out. So I go home and follow her directions. It was a Friday and I start the regimen, by Sunday, my face was BURNING! I stopped using it and call for an immediate appt. and there it was a HORRIBLE BLACK BURN ON MY FACE! I TOLD HER I had a bad reaction to retinoids and she didn’t listen and now, I have these horrific stains on my skin that will take forever to get rid of. We did the biopsy of the thing on my leg and she gave me a bunch of products to calm my skin and remove the brown spots that were all over my chin and cheeks and were about 1 inch in size each. I also took the opportunity to return some of the products I bought but some they didn’t let me. Whatever. So I used the product and it took about 3 — 4 weeks for the marks to go away. Oh and did I mention I still have the huge brown bump on my leg that I still need to go to another dermatologist to remove?
All in all, I will obviously NEVER go to this woman again! If you do, be careful for the ridiculous sales pitch, the amount of people who come in to push you into procedures and make sure they focus on what you need and not what they want you to buy. She is LUCKY I gave her one star.
Oh and take a look at the other 2 reviews, I think both of them work there, they didn’t really post much else.

Dr Lima is the best. Great professional staff.

I’ve been treating my acne and some skin discolorations here, and I’ve seen huge improvements. Dr. Lima is a great dermatology, and her staff is awesome. I am a pain and I usually ask thousand of questions, but they are always happy to help me. They always find a way to accommodate my super busy schedule, and the waiting time is minimum. The place is a spa-​like office, and they offer from laser to facials in a very relaxing and calming environment. Overall great Dr, great staff and a really nice place to go.
