Kallgren Dermatology Clinic

Glad I selected Kallgren Dermatology for some skin care needs.
Very positive experience from start to finish, as their customer service is excellent, professional and pleasant. All the paperwork is on their site, so it made the initial stages so much easier. My appointment was on time, Lisa at the reception desk was really nice and thorough, while Kirsten on the staff could not have been more helpful and pleasant to deal with throughout.
Brooke Lewis was my dermatologist, and was superb to interact with, extremely knowledgable, helpful, and insightful. I appreciated her guidance.
Definite recommendation — talented and professional, nice combination!

(Appointment date: early October 2015) Thought I might as well post this review while I’m waiting here in their office, after 15 minutes of waiting and then being informed they’re 10 minutes behind still. I arrived 15 minutes early to fill out new patient paperwork, as I was instructed to do. Normally, the waiting doesn’t bother me, as I always leave plenty of time in my schedule for appointments, but after waiting for so long, combined with the front desk woman being unfriendly… Not sure if I’ll return.
The front desk person very intentionally rolled her eyes at me when I handed her my paperwork. She kept saying «God bless America» in lieu of cursing, while informing me there have been way too many new patients that day. (If there are really too many new patients for the office to handle, then they should stop accepting new patients.) Normally stuff like this doesn’t bother me, but I felt that she was beyond unfriendly to the point of rudeness. Additionally, as I type this, she is complaining to another woman that she doesn’t get paid enough to «deal with this.» There are only two people in the waiting room, so I don’t understand her frustration. It gave me a really unwelcome feeling, like I made a mistake by coming here.
UPDATE: Because I liked the PA I ended up seeing, I give this place 3 stars instead of 1. She kept it short and sweet and did her job, and was very friendly! The office was clean and simple, nothing fancy, which is just fine. I wish it was been a more thorough appointment, as they didn’t do the typical stuff (skin check, ask any questions, etc.) that a dermatologist’s office does, even when I told them I hadn’t been to a derm in a few years. I was in and out in 5 minutes, so maybe they were just rushing to get to the next person waiting. Additionally, don’t expect to see Dr. Kallgren, as she’s usually gone and most of the patients are seen by PAs. But I seriously don’t understand why they don’t get a new front desk person, because she’s hurting the image of Kallgren. My first impression of this office was not good, and I’d be uncomfortable going back. My search for a good dermatologist’s office continues.

I’ve been several times with my kids and they are quick, efficient, friendly, and able to schedule us soon after I called for our appointments. Once I went for a really bad case of poison ivy and I liked that they did not recommend oral steroids if at all possible, gave me enough samples of a few types of steroid cremes which worked miracles. They were wonderful with my kids (12, 16) and have quickly and painlessly removed benign moles on both myself and my daughter. Thanks to the team at Kallgren!

I’m a huge fan of this place. After going to several other dermatologists for a seemingly unsolvable problem, this place was recommended to me by one of my physicians. They did a painless and quick biopsy, prescribed me a steroid cream without hydrocortisone in it (finally), and the problem went away in 2 weeks, after two years of struggling. All the while, they were very easy to work with, professional, and kind.

This clinic is compassionate and friendly! Nice assistant, nice doctor and a great outcome with a problem that is painful and embarrassing. Another doctor didn’t even try. Many thanks to Kallgren in Boulder.
