Steven E. Rasmussen, MD, FAAD

I have visited Dr. Rasmussen several times and I have been impressed with his office staff, always friendly. Dr. Rasmussen does an excellent job with facial fillers, the placement is always flattering and not overdone. I would not go to anyone else for this type of work.

Dr. Steve Rasmussen is the best! He does a great job with Botox and is so genuine and kind and he really cares about his patients. He takes all the wrinkles away! His office is very nice and his staff (I just love Marcy) is great! I will never go anywhere else! Thanks Dr. R!

Going to the dermatologist can be a nerve-​racking experience, but Dr. Rasmussen and his team are professional, kind, and courteous (and fast!).

Best staff! Very clean, organized office. Very caring doctor.

I have been going to Dr. Rasmussen for a few years now (referred by a close friend), and I cannot say enough wonderful things about him and his staff. Appointments are always timely and organized, and his attitude is always upbeat and positive. I would not trust any other doctor with my cosmetic procedures and questions. I have even been given a discount upon occasion just as a customer appreciation gift. If you’re thinking about anything cosmetic, trust Dr. Rasmussen for excellent treatment and excellent results.

I waited a very long time to write this review. My 1^st visit to Dr. R. was a Wow experience. Beautiful office, friendly staff and the doctor was very accommodating. Dr R. Was very friendly and thoughtful. I went in for face injections (Botex etc.)
I called back to make a follow-​up visit due to some concern, he fixed. The next time I went to see him I stated some concerns and Dr. R. proceeded to inject quickly without prepping or numbing the area like the 1^st visit, and he was sticking me with the needle around my cheek area several times and quickly! Don’t disagree with the Dr. or he will hurt you. That’s what I felt he was doing.
Beautiful office, scary place.

I went to Dr. Rasmussen after two other derms — Westlake Derm and Evans Derm — had failed to cure my condition, a condition which had been going on for several months and grown from a quarter-​sized patch to the size of a small watermelon. Dr. Rasmussen looked at things differently than the other two — choosing a strategy neither of the other two doctors put forth as an alternative. He told me he would cure it. And within a month or so, he did just that! Beyond that, when I was running late to an appointment, he called me personally to inquire how things were going and hoping we could reschedule. Contrast that with Evans, who actually misdiagnosed my condition, put me on medication which made it significantly worse, never called to ask how the treatment was proceeding, or schedule a follow-​up visit. In short, Dr. Rasmussen cured a condition that had two other doctors baffled. Kudos to him! My deepest thanks and highest recommendation.

I have been seeing Dr Rasmussen for two years along with my kids. we all love him and his staff. Everyone is so nice here! You can call them anytime and they will schedule you in. I refer all my friends to him.

The Dr. has made an effort to contact me to resolve this issue. That is an indication of his willingness to try and resolve the problem. I am choosing not to take him up on the offer, as I simply can’t afford another procedure and am already attempting topical treatments. However, I think it is a genuine attempt to resolve the issue and am giving him an additional star.

This is not towards Dr. R (as I think he’s the bomb) but the answering service operator named Felicia.
Felicia made it clear under no uncertain circumstances that me being covered in poison ivy warranted a prescription being called in. Even though it was my third time in a year and a half to have a horrific attack and I take huge precautions, the agony of not being able to take it any longer would have to wait until business hours.
I feel badly writing but if it was a first visit, I get it, but a doctor I have a standing relationship with who I cannot get to for a legitimate reason saddens me. They make it clear to get ill only during business hours. Or wait: you can come in and visit an after hours doctor who you don’t know, pay that fee, the doc diagnose you with what you already know you have THEN they can call in a prescription for you.

I too came for body check. I’m not a large woman but not that small. Felt like I was very rushed and my concerns were foolish. He «froze» an area on my nose and it was not the area I was concerned about. I am going to find a derm dr that will spend time examining me as well as listen to me and not bum rush me out the door. Can’t wait to see what the bill will be. Waited about a month for the appt. he was nice but I want a dr that I have confidence in.

Its so difficult to give a negative review when everyone else seems to have had such a great experience with the doctor. My visit was not based on vanity but a skin disorder that I’ve been suffering with since about 6 years old.
I walk in and the staff was very nice. Gave me the information on what I needed to get myself going but the experience with him was not that great. I know he is a very highly sought after doctor and getting appointments can be months in advance but when you go to someone for the first time, questions need to be asked and answered. I felt like my problem was nothing and there was not medical history asked or what was going on. My appointment was literally 10 minutes long and I was giving a topical and antibiotic. There was no real examination nor was there any real talk about alternative treatments or what could help me deal with this through adulthood. Literally it was like a quickie appointment and no one got anything out of it.
The location is convenient and the other staff was nice but there was no compassion or even second thought from the doctor. It really seemed like I wasted his time.

I wish I could give this place zero stars. Short story: DO NOT GO TO HIM – He is not worth your time, because he does not give you any of his time. They just want your money. I wonder why a person like him even is a doctor – he obviously loathes talking to people – he should be in a lab somewhere. Dr. Rasmussen is the worst experience I have ever had with a doctor. I came to write a review just in order to prevent other people from having the same bad experience. Here is my story:
I don’t have bad acne. I only get a few pimples here and there on my face every so often, but I was having a little breakout on my forehead and I had never seen a dermatologist, so I decided to take the extra step and see one. I think Rasmussen literally spent less than five minutes in the room with me. Right when he came in, he immediately made a rude comment on how bad my face looked and that I needed to buy some products. I had one pimple on my forehead! It really wasn’t bad at all but I thought, OK, maybe the stuff will help. I tried to get more information from him, and he just prescribed me a bunch of stuff very quickly (I remember thinking, should I actually buy this stuff? He’s obviously doing a quick car salesman job trying to make me feel bad about my skin, when really, my skin is pretty good!.) I really was just stressed about having any pimples at all for my upcoming wedding. He prescribed acne wash with 10% benzoyl peroxide, cindamycin phosphate topical gel 1%, and tretinoin cream, .05% usp, all of which I bought but think were quite unnecessary for me and have not improved my skin at all – in fact, it made my skin worse. More pimples pop up after I use the acne wash and the cream makes my skin very dry (I normally have no problem with dry skin.)
I also asked Rasmussen to check my moles, which I have never had checked. I have fair skin, some freckles, and a good amount of moles on my arms and a few here and there all over my body, so I thought it was important to check them – apparently he did not because he BARELY looked at me. I took the time to get undressed for nothing. He didn’t actually inspect my moles – how could he have? He said I was fine but he didn’t even move an inch or come near me – he couldn’t see half of them by just standing in front of me a foot away!
I literally had to say things like, «I have one here,» for example, in a place you cannot see, especially since I was sitting down, and he still didn’t even examine. I really don’t see how he could have confidently told me anything about my health or skin because he literally took less than one minute to look at me and say, «OK.» I felt like saying, «YOU DIDN’T EVEN DO ANYTHING!» And now I wish I would have.
Another issue I had was a plantar wart on the bottom of my foot. I actually had to ask the nurse to please have the doctor come back to examine it for me because HE LEFT SO QUICKLY from my appointment without asking if I needed anything else or had any questions. Ha, if this guy has answered anyone’s questions in depth, ever, I would be surprised. I think he most likely is a sexist, and I remember feeling bad for the nurses who work for him, but I won’t judge too harshly, considering I only saw him for about FIVE MINUTES.
So I asked him about the treatments for the wart, told him I had got the freezing treatment for it a year ago but it hadn’t worked, and he quickly told me he was going to freeze it. I knew there were some other ways to treat it, so I asked him if it would work and if it would hurt, and he said, «Not really.» So he did the freezing treatment, and it was quite PAINFUL. I am OK with pain, but I like to be warned that it will hurt especially when I have to drive myself home. I could barely walk on my foot afterward and I could barely drive home (I drive a stick shift, and it was VERY PAINFUL to use my foot at all.) It was painful to walk on for a whole week actually, and the treatment didn’t even work.
The wart came back so I went back to see Dr. R and he said he thought it was gone but this time I told him no, it was still there, obviously, under the skin-​YOU COULD SEE IT! So I had to go through the same pain all over again and it STILL DIDN’T WORK. Since then, I have seen a different doctor, who told me that Dr. R should have cut the skin back and done multiple treatments in order to get rid of the wart. Instead, Dr. R left me feeling hopeless, as if I would have to live with the wart forever, thinking that treatments just don’t work, when in reality, he WASN’T DOING HIS JOB RIGHT. Basically, this is a doctor who doesn’t care and doesn’t give you the time of day, so why would you go to him? I have never taken the time to write a review about anything, but I am for this, because I care about people and I don’t want them to have the same lousy experience – DO NOT USE THIS PLACE! THEY JUST WANT YOUR MONEY!

I love this place. I have been seeing Dr. Rasmussen for about two years now. His staff is always fast and efficient. In fact, I don’t believe I have ever waited more than 10 minutes to see Dr. Rasmussen. This is by far one of the best doctor experiences I have had.

Made an appointment with Dr. Rassmussen that took a month and half to schedule, so I assumed since this dermatologist is so sought after and highly rated that he must be pretty good.
I have difficult skin thats only clear about 60% of the time, despite ridding myself of food allergies, exercising 5 days a week and eating a healthy organic diet, I went to Dr. Rassmussen because after all these years I wanted a professional to get down to the bottom of my skin problems.
The atmosphere in the office is a bit pretentious, perhaps they were less than kind to me since I’m in my twenties and wasn’t sporting my rolex that day? Who knows.
The Dr. came in after waiting 10 minutes, looked at my skin– which I may add isn’t bad off, simply a bit uneven in places– and within 30 seconds gave me a Retin-​A prescription, a salicylic acid gel and a 1980’s looking handout on «What is Acne?». Literally asked me zero questions about products I had used, lifestyle habits, sleep, etc. Things normal doctors are supposed to ask in figuring out your skin problems.
Has what Dr. Rassmussen given me worked? Somewhat, but not really. If I wanted to schedule an appt that only kind of treated my skin problems and only kind of was a real appointment, I would have scheduled that. I was hoping I could get a Dermatologist that would sit me down, recommend various products, examine my skin and spend an iota of time with me. I was prepared to spend big $$$ getting my skin treated and be happy doing that, if they produced real results. Well good news, they didn’t charge me very much $, bad news– they gave me a half assed appointment.

I was greatly disappointed in my visit. I actually had to drive 2 hours to make it to see the dermatologist, because I am from out of town. A friend and I did research on which dermatologist it would be best to visit in Austin, and although EOS Dermatology ranked up there, I couldn’t have been more wrong.
I actually spent more time waiting to be seen than I was actually seen. I suffer from acne and the doctor just waltzed in, took one look at my face, said here are your options, here are some samples, see you in 6 weeks. He didn’t ask me ANY questions about my skin. But he also made a point to embarrass me before I left. I explained to him that I was an esthetician, so he can imagine my desperation and need for my acne to be gone, as other people turn to my guidance for skin care advice. He asked me, «Question: Does RetinA make your skin more sensitive to sunlight?» Thinking, surely this must be a trick question, I responded, «Yes.» And be proceeded to say, «No it doesn’t. Insert snarky explanation of why. You went to school, you should know that.» It was pretty embarrassing for me.
The point is, although the rest of his staff are very nice and friendly, no amount of their kindness can make up for the Doctor’s obvious disregard for his patients. He is rude, and doesn’t seem to give a hoot about anyone else. He just wants to wave his degree in your face. Needless to say, I didn’t go back for my 6 week follow up.

I was actually surprised by the number of 5 star reviews here. I had a similar experience to the others that posted 1 star reviews.
I am classic melanoma-​in-​waiting case (fair skin, lots of moles, family history of skin cancer), and while I avoid the sun and practically bathe in sunscreen, I’m still at high risk. I hadn’t been to the dermatologist in 3 years, and my mom was bugging me about getting a full-​body skin check (she just had her 7^th tumor removed from her face).
Let me be honest — getting a full body skin check is not a fun experience. It’s embarrassing, especially with a new doctor, because you’re stripping down to your underwear and having your body poked at.
So it’s bad enough, but a good doctor can make you feel more at ease. Dr. Rasmussen did not. Instead, I felt like I was not attractive enough to be there.
From the minute I entered that place, I was bombarded by advertising on expensive procedures that could make me prettier and more attractive. The doctor spent more time examining the dandruff on my hairline than examining my moles. He said he subscribed to the philosophy of cutting off moles when it’s absolutely necessary, not just because something sort-​of looks bad. I’d rather have some scars and know I DON’T HAVE CANCER than maintain Dr. Rasmussen’s standard of beauty and get melanoma.
I gave him two stars instead of one because he prescribed me dandruff shampoo that cleared things up right away. But he spent less than 5 minutes on my body check, so I’m looking for another dermatologist who takes my cancer-​prevention concerns seriously.

My first appointment here was great. The lady at the front desk was super nice, the lobby was welcoming and clean and my wait was not that long. They even apologized for me having to wait at all. Dr. Rasmussen was friendly and explained everything to me, he gave me cell number in case i needed anything and couldn’t get in touch with his assistant, I thought that was great. His assistant was very nice in explaining all of the meds to me and also gave me her number. Great service, lovely staff, I am actually looking forward to my next appointment.

Dr. Rasmussen is great. I have gone to him for 3 years. He is thorough and very nice. He has also done a good job on my 50 something brother as well as my teenage son.

I would like to first thank my Dr. Anas Dhaghestani from ARC for referring me to this incredible doctor!
I went in to my regular doctor to be checked out and learned that I had a tumor on my thumb. I was referred to this doctor, Steven Rasmussen, MD, immediately, and he worked through his lunch break to remove the tumor.
I was horrified. Dr. Rasmussen immediately put me at ease. His office is clean, gorgeous, calming, and safe.
His staff is beyond kind. The woman who shot my thumb with the numbing agent was angelic. (IT HURT BAD and she let me yell, I was just freaked out so it all came out in the form of a holllaaaaa for real).
Once numbed, Dr. Rasmussen came in and burned the growth off. The smell was horrid. It looked like my thumb had gotten shot at afterwards but it healed in a few weeks after using vaseline every day on it as instructed.
I knew exactly what was going on at all times at this place.
Dr. R. did such a good job, that nobody would know by looking at my thumb that it once had a deep dime-​sized hole in it.
Words could never fully express how thankful I am for this operation/​service!
I wish continuous success and blessings for Dr. Rasmussen and his staff.
When you drive here, please note that the office is along the side of a large building, parallel to W 6^th Street.
