The staff at Arsenault Dermatology are pleasant, efficient and very knowledgeable. Minor procedure quick and painless. The pre-visit wait was minimal, the visit and check out expeditious. Follow up to have stitches removed also quick, painless and skillfully handled by Kira. I have been an Arsenault Dermatology patient for 15+ years and have seen many of the staff-all excellent, and the PAs, nurses and techs are always wonderful. Thank you.
