I felt confident in Dr. Ketaki's professionalism and explanation of procedure.
Super professional and understanding dermatologist. Dr Bhate took her time to check my skin, review my moles and explain everything thoroughly. Thank you for your help! Well worth it
I am very relaxed with Dr. Bhate & not at all stressed which means I focus much better on the matter at hand. She never makes me feel rushed & always has time to answer all my questions before I leave the clinic. AND she wears Levi’s!!!!!
Dr Bhate asked lots of questions regarding my skin history and devised a clear treatment plan with lots of advice. Very approachable and a thorough consultation
Clear excellent attention.
My skin concern has made great progress and it's a relief, however clinic/website was not upfront at any time that in order to maintain I would need to pay 1k per year so currently worried about that.
Shannon made me feel very relaxed and she is so helpful with all the information she gave me I’m still going to have more treatments with Shannon Thanks
I had such a great experience with Dr. Bhati. She is incredibly kind and genuinely cares about your skin. I’ve only visited her once so far, but starting treatment with her has already made such a big difference for me. She really listens to you, which means a lot especially because I’m a shy person. She always makes sure to ask if you have any questions, and she creates a space where you feel comfortable and understood. I’m really grateful for her support.
I’ve been going to 23 Skin for sometime and it’s the best place I’ve ever found for any skin problems, however serious or minor. The staff are always so efficient and friendly and the medical expertise from the doctors and nurses is brilliant.
I interacted with three individuals in the clinic including Dr. Bhate. Everyone was extremely pleasant while at the same time extremely professional😀 On the constructive criticism side: Dr. Bhate, when reviewing the situation (either past results or forward procedures) slips into med-speak which a non-professional, like me, doesn’t understand. Plain everyday English would be better. That having been said I am very satisfied with the care I am receiving🌹
