Curt Samlaska, MD

I took my 93 year old mom to see Dr. Samlanska. She was concerned about a mark on her leg. She also had a few bumps around her head and itching on her legs. He said he would be able to freeze the bumps but the itching could be fixed by using moisturizers several times per day. This diagnosis was given without him even looking at the itchy area. He also made a condescending remark about the mark that she was so worried about by saying «what am I looking at» as though there was nothing there. Even though it was just a bruise on fragile skin, he could have used a little more tact and been sensitive to her concern. He basically dismissed her worries as though she was invisible. I give him 0 stars. Older people count in this world. He doesn’t to seem to think so,

I went to see Dr. Samlaska for the first time in January 2015 because my former dermatologist developed cancer and had to close his practice. (I was sorry about that because he was good.) Dr. Samlaska spent about 3 minutes with me, which included a cursory examination and about 15 ineffective sprays of liquid nitrogen on various places on my body. Then he was gone. When the EOB arrived from my insurance company I was shocked to see that Dr. Samlaska had billed $ 625 for my 3 minute appointment. (Of course, the insurance company knocked it down to $ 170, but still, would he have billed me $ 625 if I didn’t have insurance?) In any case, his treatment was hasty and ineffective and, after seeing how he bills, I question his ethics. Oh, and I have a long history with dermatologists (most of them very good), having had melanoma in 2000, with numerous follow-​ups. Bottom line: I cannot recommend this dermatologist.

Our first time.. Great Dr. he is very knowledgeable, likeable personality. Nurse also very knowledgeable and nice also… .Felt right at home on our first visit. Office staff friendly. Waited about 5 minutes after we filled out our paper work. Love the way the office is decorated.. .Will certainly recommend Dr. Samlaska to everyone.

I was seen by the PA and not the doctor about 5 – 6 months ago in this office and have waited to write my review. I made an appointment because I had a rash all over my body due to an allergy to a medication. The PA gave me a medication that made it worse and insisted on taking a skin sample of the rash. The skin sample she said she needed to take was from an area on my back I could barely see. I asked if she would please take it from my leg instead as the rash was there too and she insisted she needed it from my back and she said my back would heal better.
I now have a permanent scar on my back where she took the skin sample, despite using scar creams and months of special bandages. Also, when I went in for my follow up appointment no one even bothered to tell me the results of the tests on the skin sample, thus making the whole process a waste. I called my regular doctor and they called in a prescription for me that actually helped my rash, I wish I had done that first and not wasted my time with this office. If I could give zero stars I would, but this rating system doesn’t seem to allow it.
Don’t go to this office.

Dr Samlaska lacks some bedside manner but when it comes to dermatology he definitely knows his stuff.

I have had the worst experience with this office. When I initially went over 6 months ago I had a few warts on my foot that needed treating. I had also recently recovered from surgery on one wart that I had on my foot. I had a scar that had formed on that area. The assistant was very nice when I told her this, but when the main doctor came it, it was a whole different story. He never even introduced himself. He just walked straight towards me with the liquid nitrogen and was going to freeze the scar (that was still pretty sensitive on my foot). When I objected, he told me that I was wrong and it was a wart. He never even examined it! Needless to say, over 6 months later it is still not a wart. I also asked them if I had fungus on my big toenail. They told me that I had bruising because my shoes were too small. I thought that was pretty strange, but I went out and bought new shoes to give it a try. They were wrong again. It was a fungus and I wasted a bunch of money on new shoes. So, 2 months ago I get a bill from them. I call to see what it is for and never get a return phone call. I called again and the message stated that the person that deals with billing is really overwhelmed and that she will call me back eventually. It is pretty rare that I write a bad review because I know that one bad review can really hurt a business. But, this is getting ridiculous. I am actually writing this review in hopes that someone over there does something about this.

Super fast visit! The doctor was very knowledgeable and helpful. I wasn’t waiting long at all, I was in & out of there within 25 minutes. The office is clean, nice décor & the staff was great. They also do facials there at really good prices, I’ll try one of those on my next visit.

This was quite possibly the best doctors office visits I have ever had, at least in the top 5. The doctor is very experienced and knowledgeable. The staff is friendly, professional and helpful. The office is very clean and organized and beautifully decorated. This office also offers cosmetic procedures, but I went in to get a baseline on my moles, and the nurse and doctor gave me a thorough exam. After, while checking out, I saw they also offer waxing, so I was able to have my brows done and Brenda did a beautiful job. All in all, a great experience.
