I highly recommend this practice. Firstly, the office and exam rooms are immaculate and the receptionists are friendly and welcoming. P.A., Kaitlin Vaughn, who I’ve been seeing monthly for growth removals does amazing work and has helped clear up my skin beautifully. She uses an instrument to freeze the growths and has left no scarring or marks. Further, I’ve never waited longer than 10 to 15 mins for my appointment which is always a plus. There are also many locations from which to choose.

The PA was very thorough and addressed my concerns one at a time. Took the necessary biopsies and explained everything he was doing and why. Answered all my questions and gave me great suggestions on possible skin treatments for my face. Provided me with the names and info on Dr’s he would recommend for facial treatments which I will follow up with. I would recommend him to others looking for a dermatologist

I’ve been going to Arsenault Dermatology for about eight years. They are simply the most professional, experienced, knowledgeable providers that I’ve been to for Dermitology. I’ve seen several of their providers, both doctors and the physicians assistants, and they are all exceptional. My recent visit was with Nicholas. He was right on time, professional and friendly, and knowledgeable about my concern. In addition, their offices are extremely clean and well organized and it’s easy to make appointments on-line or by calling! Thanks Dr. Emily and your team for providing such great healthcare.
