Advanced Dermatology Care

The receptionist was very rude. She would glare at me as I was talking to her and was very sassy. I waited for 30 minutes just to get into the room to wait for an extra 20 minutes inside. Dr. Quint Skipton steps in, checks my face, and immediately says that I need a chemical peel (keep in mind I went in with mild acne). Although I was not aware of the pros and cons, he rudely persisted that I should get it «if I wanted to get it fixed». He did not give me the time to explain the background of my acne nor gave me the chance to ask questions. I read such positive reviews so I had high hopes, but surely it was too high. The doctor was rude and would say words that would hurt me. Sure he prescribed me topical cream and cleanser but the side effects outweigh the benefits. After 5 MINUTES of talking, he left the room WTH. I PAID $ 135 for a chemical peel I was unsure of, topical prescriptions that I had to pay $ 25 more and wait to get it in the mail in 5 – 7 business days, and a 5 minute conversation with the doctor. SAVE YOUR MONEY AND GO SOMEWHERE.
Also paid $ 3 for parking… Are you kidding me?!

I was introduced to Advanced Dermatology Care through my HMO, Blue Shield, and I love and recommend Dr. Skipton. He’s a professional, he’s caring, but he brings a certain degree of levity to the exam room which is nice and provides a great ice breaker if you’re the shy type (I’m not, but it’s nice to feel like you’re talking to a human, rather than an uppity cosmoprof or worse, a med-​school robot). Additionally, both the medical assistants and the front desk staff are courteous and efficient. I’ve never had to wait for an appointment. And the office is tastefully decorated. I was quite pleasantly surprised that this medical office was in my HMO’s plan. I’ve really had some bad apples across the spectrum of specialists, but Advanced Dermatology Care is not one of them. Thanks again! See you in 10 days for my suture removal!

Dr. Skipton is amazing! I’ve been going to him for over a month and I love the results. He explains every treatment, takes the time to answer your questions and always goes out of his way to make sure I’m happy with my visit. My acne has cleared out a lot and I’m beyond happy. His assistant Andrew is also very helpful and friendly. Best dermatologist I’ve been to so far and I highly recommend them.

I saw Dr Skipton Q. For an acne consult and botox. I am so impressed with him. He gets to the point and knew exactly what to do and prescribe me without any doubt or hesitation. I have seen a dermatologist in the past and she was not near as good. My PCP tried to treat me by ordering antibiotics and benzol peroxide which only dried out my skin. He said i shouldnt even be taking antibiotics. I feel like I am in such good hands now I only wish I had come here a year ago when I started breaking out.
Only thing I think they could improve on is that even though I arrived early for my appt. And he saw me right after my paperwork was complete he had to rush out to see other patients and the assistant who was suppose to show me how to apply and do my chemical peel kept getting rushed by the Dr. I wish they would take 5 more minutes to just finish with me. And 2 of my 3 prescriptions weren’t called in so i need to follow up with that. But all in all i am very happy with his recommendation and treatment plan.
He also only gave me 10 units of botox which is all I needed he said. Where as another doctor was ripping me off saying he used 40units. So I trust Dr. Skipton and he injected very well. I’ve had a NP stab my forehead to death some people are not careful, but he has the right touch.

Love Dr. Skipton! I have always had really clear skin, then about 6 months ago I began have cystic acne breakouts all over my chin. I found Dr. Skipton on Unilocal and made an appointment. The office is really nice, clean and the staff is super friendly and helpful. Dr. Skipton took his time with me, explained how we were going to treat it, and made it perfectly clear that this was a race, not a sprint! He warned me that things might get a little worse before they go better. Fast forward to three months later, and I have my clear skin back! I’ve had three visits with him now and he’s so great! Highly recommended!
Tip: the garage behind his office does charge $ 3 for Parking, but it’s only $ 1 to validate in his office.

Dr Skipton is awesome! My husband and I had been to a different dermatologist and he didn’t treat us very well. We felt rushed, and like he was blowing us off. Not so with Dr Skipton. Found him on Unilocal,and he and his staff lived up to the high reviews. Everyone is nice, office is clean and tidy. He was running a little late but we were checked on multiple times. I don’t mind if a doctor runs late though, it’s usually a sign they take their time with their patients. This was absolutely the case. He even made our daughter feel at ease which was awesome because she has extreme anxiety at the doctor, something he couldn’t have even known, but helped us so much. Friendly, knowledgeable, not judgemental, everything we were looking for and more. Also, ethical. I’ve got quite the beard growing and he could’ve sold me on expensive laser hair treatments but instead told me they wouldn’t work and that I needed to seek out electrolysis.

Nothing is worse than one of those doctor’s offices that makes you wait 45 minutes to an hour for a two minute visit with an impatient doctor. Sadly, there are a ton of doctors out there like this. Luckily, this place isn’t one of them. I saw Dr. Tababian at this office yesterday. Unlike many doctors, he actually took the time to explain to me what he was doing and to answer my questions. His nurse was really awesome too. And the front desk staff seemed pretty efficient. I only had to wait about 15 minutes to see the doctor, which is amazing compared to most medical offices.
The only drawback is the parking lot that charges you a fee to park — no thanks. You can find free parking down the street if you’re willing to walk a few hundred yards.

This is my 4^th appointment with Dr. Quint Skipton and I have nothing but positive things say. I found his office while searching on Unilocal for a new dermatologist. I will admit that my personality is very honest and transparent so I am always apprehensive when trying a new doctor but Dr. Skipton and his team made me feel very comfortable. The front office is always kind and welcoming and Andrew specifically fills the room with his amazing personality! Dr. Skipton is honest and upfront but doesn’t come across as abrasive or rude in any manner. You have to have respect for a Dr. who is intelligent and personable. I highly recommend this office for your skin care woes!

Unfortunately, my experience was horrible!!! I went to Dr. Skipton for my acne. On my first visit Dr. Skipton told me that he could help me clear my skin, especially mine because my acne was mild. I only had 4 cystic bumps, he started the treatment by extracting the bumps and giving me a chemical peel after. I also followed the daily regiment that he gave me. I started noticing that I had a few more bumps than usual but, I thought I was just breaking out more. On my second visit I told the Dr. and he said that he would extract the bumps and it should be a lot better in a few days, definitely by the next visit. Days started going by and I continued with my daily regiment, but my skin and the bumps were not getting better they were only getting worse. My face felt red and hot like a had a bad reaction so I started taking Benadryl and I stopped the regiment because my bumps got red, irritated, painful, and my face broke out 10 times worse then the first time I went to see Dr. Skipton. I went back to see him and tell him that my skin got worse, and all he told me was that my acne is bursting out and there is a lot of bacteria and he needed to continue with the extractions. I broke down and started crying because I was hoping he would tell me something different, like, lets try a different treatment because that one didn’t work, or let me give you medicine to help it clear up, nothing! I was so disappointed because I’ve never broken out this bad in my entire life, and my face hasn’t healed and it feels like it never will. I’m so depressed with the way I look, because even if I tried hiding it with make-​up it would still look horrible.

I called the first time around 12/12:30 on a Monday or Wednesday and I got the recording that said they were closed and to call during the business hours. I was a little annoyed but because of the good reviews I just called again later. I wanted to make sure my insurance was accepted and how much it would cover and they sent me on a rabbit trail saying that in the office they couldn’t help me. They first had me call my insurance which told me to go back to the dermatology office, who then had me call a customer line for finances, when I explained what I was looking for they told me that they did not handle charges and that I would have to call the office again. At this point I was irritated but I was determined to get an appt if possible. I called the office once again (by now I had called them 4 times) and the girl who picked up had no idea how to answer my question so she got another receptionist to try and assist me. FINALLY I got an answer saying that my insurance was accepted and that it should cover everything from consultation to treatments. Before scheduling an appointment I confirmed that my insurance was accepted and would cover at least the consultation. They said yes and so I happily scheduled an appointment.
When the appointment finally came around I had trouble finding the building but was excited to see the doctor. As soon as I walked in I signed in and the receptionist asked for my ID and insurance card. As soon as I handed it to her she explained that they did not accept my insurance and the only way I could pay is cash. Are you kidding? I explained that I called several times regarding my insurance and double checked prior to scheduling my appointment and both receptionists said «sorry the person you talked to must have been confused». As a professional business I think they need to make sure their staff is better trained and informed. It sounds like the doctors are great but they need to work on training the rest of their staff better.

What an awesome Unilocal find! I tried this place based on Unilocal reviews. Went online to schedule a same day appointment and was also able to fill out all the necessary paperwork online before my office visit. Arrived there at 3pm for my appointment and within 5 minutes I was taken to a room. About 5 minutes later I was seen by Quint. Not only did he address my concerns, he did a full body exam and lasered off a few things I didn’t know about. He was very professional, easy to talk with and I never felt rushed. Office staff are very friendly too. I was in and out in less then 30 minutes. I’d highly recommend this place!

Wow!
They are very fast and the know what they are doing. I love being there and definitely coming again

Miracle workers!!! I developed an overgrown pimple on my eyelid overnight that was way too embarrassing to keep through the natural healing process time, and the doctor got rid of it same afternoon! I was in and out of the doctor’s office in 30 minutes. They accept PPO, but their prices are very reasonable anyways.

Update as of ¹⁄₂₀₁₆. The prices have changed. It is now $ 135 for all visitations, but same great care. Quint always gives some sort of free samples for spot treatments. A small gesture but speaks volumes!

1. Great Parking
2. Super organized office
3. Quint Skipton speaks in a practical, easy to understanding, and engaged way.
4. They assessed three odd skins things in one visit.
5. Gave me sample medicines.
6. Told me that the meds last long after expiration date and should last a very long time.
7. I recommend this office, and Quint in particular

Quint Skipton is absolutely incredible! Seriously has worked miracles with my acne. Started going to this office as a cash patient about a year ago and they were always so great with working with me. Quint is very friendly, personable and knows what he’s doing. I’ve gotten extractions and peels for such a great cost and have seen my skin transform after just a month of coming here! Super friendly staff as well!

Quint Skipton is a wonderful doctor, very knowledgeable & professional. Won’t prescribe you unnecessary treatment. Highly recommended!!!

Sorry to go against the grain and would love to give these folks a better review but I didn’t even get a chance to see them. Why? Because I called at 12:50 p.m. on a Friday to make an appointment and got a voice message saying «Our office is now closed, please call back during our office hours M-​F 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m.»
Some may think it unfair, but I think it’s worth a poor review for a doctor’s office if you don’t bother to answer the phone during published office hours.

The facility is part of the new building on Katella. It’s nice to walk in to a new office. Now of course the staff is the most important since you will be dealing with them the most. Everyone I met on the staff was courteous quick to do their job and very pleasant. Dare I say fun. I had some fears about melanoma since I have a friend who just got diagnosed. The doctor put me at ease we talked skin climate change and the election right up my alley as a talk show host. I discussed all of my concerns we went over them in detail the doctor froze a few things off my face and I was good to go. For once the entire experience was enjoyable not horrible and more importantly I feel as though I got honest answers and that I am in good care for my skin. I have found my new dermatologist.

Setting an appointment with Dr. Quint Skipton is the best thing I’ve ever done for my skin. Through his acne treatment my skin is looking clearer than ever before. It also helps that he is very attentive, enthusiastic, and reassuring. Though I get the occasional pimple and still have some scars, I’ve only been getting treatment for around 2 months, and every day it’s getting better!
Some background: I have had acne for around 4 years now. It started off mild, bit it seemed that over the years my skin was getting worse and more infected. Cystic acne — in enormous clusters — were scattered all over my face. I could hardly wash it because my skin was so sensitive, and the acne clusters were popping and oozing with the slightest pressure. Needless to say, I felt unattractive and my self esteem was at an all time low. I looked for solutions in acne treatment aisle of drugstores. Nothing was working; it seemed hopeless.
When I saw Dr. Skipton he pointed out that all the harsh acne products I was using had irritated my skin and was actually was doing more harm than good. He then proceeded to extract the gunk from my pimples, which was sorta painful, but it led to really quick results. Within a day I saw that the lumps on my face were flattened and my face was looking healthier overall. The medication he prescribed is also very helpful in preventing acne and making random pimples go away fast. I now feel confident wearing minimal/​no makeup which is a great feeling. No more need to cake it all on.
