Hear From Our Patients in Sarasota
The Dr., receptionist and nurse are professional, compassionate & kind. I’m very happy with the care provided for me as I had an appointment for my yearly refill of Retin-A (Tretinoin) Anti-Aging Cream & Hydroquinone. I highly recommend Academic Alliance In Dermatology.
Margaret K.Another wonderful practice ! The staff and the doctor that we see are amazing ! She is extremely intelligent, efficient and caring. She explains everything clearly. They always make sure that you have a follow up appointment and care instructions.
Chrissy M.Can not say enough great things about AAD. I discovered a weird rash on my back last night that had me panicked for pretty much the entire night. Not only did they examine the rash, but he checked all my moles to make sure there was nothing out of the ordinary. They had the doctor check me as well, just to make sure that everything was okay.
