Academic Dermatology Associates

I asked to be booked with Dr. Charbonnet since her reviews were so great and they were able to accommodate this request. Since this was my first time going, I was asked to come in 15 minute early for paperwork. Because I couldn’t be away from work for too long, I asked them to e-​mail me the paperwork which they did and it really cut down on the time. I will say that I felt Dr. Charbonnet was a little too quick with me but what she has prescribed me really is helping, so I guess that’s all that matters. Parking is available in front of the building. I was in and out in about 40 minutes total from start to finish!

The people at his office are friendly, efficient, quick and good at what they do. I enjoy being a patient of Dr. Charbonnet. I def feel I am in good hands! I would highly recommend her and this practice.

I visited this place because of the good reviews here. To my disappointment it was not quite great experience. First of all, after several visits and misunderstandings with my insurance I ended up paying for everything. On top of that, my acne is still there.
Also, I had to wait for my appointment time for an hour and got no apology. When the following time I visited and inquired about the wait time because I wanted to make sure I wouldn’t wait forever, I got an attitude from a front desk lady. She sounded something like «Ok, please someone just go see this patient.»
Dr. Gerdes sounds knowledgeable. However, she prescribed me a medication that was super expensive but the bottle was cheap, and it broke. I returned one to the manufacturer but the next bottle was the same. The point is, the doctor should prescribe something reliable and not something that was pushed to her by a manufacturer. (It’s my assumption though).

Dr Gerdes is a very knowledgeable personable dermatologist. She is informative regarding different treatment options. She has treated both myself and my son. I like how she really listens to you when talking about your skin issues. She does not push products like other dermatologist do, but offers options. Office staff friendly, helpful, and accomadating.

I had an awesome experience with Dr. Gately!
Background:
I’ve been suffering with a rare skin disorder for over a year and my Primary Care Physician couldn’t figure out what it was or how to treat it. He finally referred me to a Dermatologist and I made an appointment with Dr. Gately.
The appointment making process was easy and the receptionist was very polite. I arrived at my appointment 15 – 20 minutes early to fill out insurance paperwork and was seen on time. I didn’t have to wait long. I was taken to the back by a cheerful nurse/​medical assistant and my vitals were taken. Five minutes later, Dr. Gately walks in and introduces himself. He was very personable and has a great bedside manner. I was nervous at first, but felt relaxed after meeting him.
Dr. Gately was very thorough and knowledgeable. He took scrapings of the affected areas and tested them right away, which is something the other doctors didn’t do. I didn’t have to wait days for the results, only 5 minutes. He was able to narrow down exactly what was wrong, give me a diagnosis and proper medications. He was spot on because my skin is FINALLY clearing up! I no longer have to dress like a nun. Thanks Dr. Gately!
I never thought my skin would be normal again, but thanks to Dr. Gately it is. I highly recommend this practice for all your skin related problems!

Great Great Great!!!
Dr Tami Charbonnet is a visual & academically stimulating treat.
Visiting this facility for dermatological issue, ughhhh NOLA isnt nice to my face, but I digress…
Setting an appointment is easy peasy & über quick.
The waiting room is a little stuffy, stuffy as in formal kinda uncomfortable, but no matter because your wait time is nominal.
Once in the back, the MA/​nurse triaged me & in pops the delightful Dr. «ask me anything, I gotcha covered» Charbonnet. Informative. Patient. Knowledgable. Did I mention patient. Kind. Attractive. Empathetic. Breath of fresh air.
Idk what the other Doctors are like, but Doctor Charbonnet is the ONE in my book.
The practice is located in a 8 – 10 story office building… so park & catch the elevator to the 2^nd floor. Exit & go right & there you are.
Parking is decent, shared with other offices, its 1^st come 1^st served.
In & out, stick & move… Visit completed in one hour, start to finish.

My husband went to Dr. Charbonnet on a recommendation from Unilocal.To sum it up she was simply brilliant. After his visit, he recommended her to our daughter. And I would recommend her to anyone else. Intelligent and caring.

I took my daughter to Dr. Charbonnet today and had a wonderful experience. Dr. Charbonnet was patient, caring and made sure my daughter was not afraid. I would definitely return to see Dr. Charbonnet for any dermatological issues, pediatric or adult.

Dr. Charbonnet is the best. She has really nice skin. She sure seems smart and sweet. You can even ask her about the Saints… she’s got all the updates.
She saved my dad 100x over w all his crazy skin issues. My whole family goes to her now.
Always short wait, but she doesn’t rush you at all. Hey if you gotta get cut, injected, frozen, flayed, or lasered… this is the place… she’s gentle and doesn’t dispense in pain.

My boyfriend needed «something» on his hand removed. He has no health insurance and so I wanted someone reasonable and good. I read these reviews and liked what I read. Dr Charbonnet didn’t rush to «cut it out» but instead froze it and charged ¹⁄₃ of the originally quoted price! much appreciated. She was quick, timely and nice. It hasn’t quite resolved, but we will give it some time. I would go back to her myself.
Update: the freezing didn’t take and he had to go back. This time, he insisted she cut. She gracious did and only charged the difference between the first freeze and what it would have been to cut it the first time! So while it was 2 visits, it was only one cost. We are fans of Dr. Charbonnet

Dr. Charbonnet is the greatest dermatologist/​doctor I have ever had! I wish she could be my general practitioner. I don’t know what to say about her except she rocks and has helped me tremendously in so many ways. I always get in and out in no time. I never have a long wait and she saves me tons of money by giving me free samples if she has them. If you need a dermatologist Dr. Charbonnet is your best bet :)

I have been seeing Dr Gerdes for many years, She is thorough and personable.
