Nevada Center For Dermatology

these young women are glorified cosmetologist and thats what it should read on the door. they are all about helping the rich look younger. they cater to the well to do crowd with their outrageous prices. so if your wrinkles are bothering you this is the place to get you cosmetic fix. if you’ve got a skin problem and need a dermatologist go elsewhere, these girls cant help you. they don’t like getting their feet wet and definitely don’t know how to listen to the patient. very unprofessional.

Wait time– I did have to wait longer than I was expecting due to the doctors running late. I wasn’t mad or upset by it though because I was told in advance. Patients are seen even if they run late so don’t just blame the doctors for running late, its US as patients as well!
Once I was seen everything went very fast and smooth. My appointment was at the end of the day so I did feel a little rushed and that Dr. Casse was making up for lost time. Even with the sense of urgency Dr. Casse was great and you can tell she knows her stuff. She addressed all my skin concerns quickly, and removed my 2 warts in record time! I don’t mind feeling a bit rushed because along with the doctors, I have places to be! They prescribed me two creams for my face, both of which they knew could be expensive so they gave me coupons/​told me how to get coupons online and lots of samples!
I will recommend Dr. Casse and this office to anyone, I would just recommend you call before your app. and see the wait time.

Well I’m willing to take the good with the bad. Yes the wait time is annoying, but Dr. Casse is very thorough and for that this Irish, pale skin patient is thankful.

My derm there knows nothing, I had acne for many years, she didn’t check my skin just gave me some ointment to use! Btw, those ointment are around 1000 bucks.

I’ve read with amusement some of the «reviews» of Sierra Dermatology and think that some are written without much thought.
I’ve been through a stem cell transplant, pacemaker implant (and removal), heart transplant and two hip replacements, just to name a few issues. I take anti rejection drugs and am very concerned about the reduced immune system and skin cancer.
I have been seeing Dr. Lamerson and staff there for years, and have suffered some of those waits. I have also caused a few, because when they start with a procedure they never know what else might arise. Sometimes the times overlap. If you are the patient it’s great but if you’re waiting it’s frustrating. So what? When you have the issue, you wouldn’t be too pleased if the Drs. were treating you but had to stop helping you because others were waiting.
I believe that Sierra Dermatology does a great job and provides a comfortable and friendly service. I think they regularly save my life.
Be patient and be glad you’re there.
Nobody, even Doctors, are perfect. But I’m sure glad they’re there.

I really want to like this place. Clean, friendly staff, etc. However, I echo some of the concerns expressed in other reviews here. This morning I had an appointment at 9:30am to have some precancerous growth removed from my back. Yesterday, their office called and asked that I come in at 9:15am to allow for the anethesia time to numb the area in question. I dutifully arrived at 9:10am. I then sat in the empty waiting room until 9:30am when I was invited in to the procedure room. No big deal. I then sat another 25 minutes until the assistant came in and gave me the shots. From there things went along fine. I make appointments in the am at doctor’s offices so I might avoid the long waits. I am a professional, my time is valuable. Don’t ask me to come in early and then make me wait for no apparent reason. Otherwise no complaints about this place, seems a problem worth fixing!

I used to go in when I was in high school for acne and like other users must have blocked out the ridiculously long waiting time. I got a sebaceous cyst this year and decided to see a dermatologist instead of my regular doctor. When making my apt. They said I could most likely have the problem taken care of in 1 visit so I agreed to the month and a half out it would take to see me. In total I waited an hour just to be told I’d have to schedule another apt. To have it taken care of. I will be going to my regular doctor for this issue at least the longest I wait there is 5 min.
If you have an hour or two to kill at the doctors office they’re probably not bad but my experience was definitely skewed by being so irritated at the long wait.

Very professional office with knowledgeable staff. Dr. Lamerson is attentive and gives each patient her full, undivided attention. I wouldn’t go anywhere else!

The first time I saw Dr. Casse (December 2011) she took biopsies and found a pre-​stage melanoma on my back. We scheduled and she removed it, and I was very happy with the results and recovery. If I were to review on this visit alone I would give them five stars.
However, since that visit my review would score a single star.
Since my first visit and procedures, it was suggested that I schedule skin checks every three months, which I held faithfully. Every three months I booked, so over the course of the following 18 months I was there at least 6 times. I didn’t remember why I tapered off the frequency, although now I do remember.
Incredible and ridiculous wait time for appointments annoy me. When I book an appointment, I expect to be seen at least CLOSE to the scheduled time. Instead I usually wait a minimum of thirty minutes, often up to an hour. My husband was in earlier this month (maybe in June even) and he waited over an hour from the time of his appointment before he was seen.
Remembering his experience, for today’s appointment I blocked out a full three hours My appointment was at noon. I arrived about 15 minutes early and completed the (new) online paperless patient record and was ready in time for my 12:00 appointment.
At 12:30 I overheard two other patients visiting with each other. Apparently each of them had appointments at 11:30, a full hour previous, and yet they were still waiting to be seen. Double booked for the same time. And an hour later they’re still waiting.
I decided that my time is worth more to me than to sit in the waiting room being irritated.
So I decided to log into Unilocal and VENT — and look for another dermatologist.

I should have taken Matthew’s comment more serious. I showed up early for my appointment with the paperwork already filled out online. And then I sit. For 30 minutes and no one comes in our out of the back room. I finally decide that I don’t want to end up like Matthew in a room for an hour waiting so I walk out the door. Terrible first impression, and I won’t be back. A doctor’s time is not more important than mine, just because I’m not an M.D.

Don’t know what’s up with my luck, but I’m 0 for 2 with dermatologist here in Reno.
Last one stuck me in an exam room for 30 mins, then came barging in with an awkward med student in tow, hastily looked me over for literally 15 seconds, then gave me an «all clear», rushed out the door and left me standing there in my skivvies saying «ah, what the hell was that?»
With this one, they at least gave me the option of having, or not having, the awkward med student. But then they stuck me in an exam room, had me strip to my skivvies and left me there.
And there I waited… and waited… and waited… and waited… for an HOUR with not so much as a word from the doctor or staff. How long were they going to leave me languishing in solitary confinement? I have no idea, because I put my clothes back on and got the hell out of there. I can’t afford to be missing work and meetings just to sit in an empty room playing Angry Birds for hours on end.
It’s too bad because my wife had a good experience with the doctor – but we won’t be back.

Dig the doctors… but that lobby? WOW.

My husband and I both go to Dr Casse. She is excellent as is the entire staff. Very professional and thorough. Responsive to questions and concerns, and takes the time to make sure you get it. Highly recommend.

I’ve seen both Casse and Lamerson for blemishes and skin cancer screenings, and I like them both. The office was exceedingly flexible with working around my crazy schedule to get me in (which is how I’ve happened to see both docs). That being said, they’re a popular, busy group, so don’t think you’ll get an appointment at moment’s notice! Super sweet staff, and Casse and Lamerson are awesome.

I have only had a very short experience with this office, but from what I found they were very nice. I was interested in purchasing the Jane Iradele makeup they sell as I am upgrading all of my old makeup to some that is better quality.
They set up an appointment, and Trish did a fabulous job of applying my make-​up, telling me about the products and making some suggestions. She was very friendly and polite. The consultation was of course complimentary. They really went out of their way to ensure fine customer service. Great experience.
