Testimonials

Excelen,

Everyone treated with respect.

Friendly helpful staff. The doctor was very friendly. I wanted to help me with all of my issues but she had her time constraint so we had to schedule some time to take care of some other things. She definitely addressed the issues that I came in for that day would highly recommend this practice

Doctor Sartor was knowledgeable and helpful. The nurses were friendly and courteous.

Satisfied with employees & doctor knowledge and expertise

Surgeon and nurses were very good and professional. An excellent experience!

I originally scheduled this appointment with another provider but there was a mix-up with the address and thankfully Dr.Sartor was able to see me same day. I'm so happy things worked out the way it did. She's brilliant and I really appreciated her and her team for how transparent they were as well as the time spent with me. Happy that she will be my dermatologist moving forward.

Let’s see where to begin. From the initial communication, the unrushed phone consult, the willingness to listen, the eagerness to help, and the confidence in treatment but most importantly delivering the results as promised. I literally came in with flared up skin after trying every OTC facial skin care product and even chemical peels nothing seemed to be effective. I’ve had laser hair removal treatments each about 4-6 weeks apart I’ll stop talking, just check out my before and after pics most recent pics taken 7/28/25. I’ve come along way but I’m not finished yet

Was not his Specialty Hand Surgery. Otherwise, was helpful doing a referral.

Dr. Balaraman is an astute practitioner and has a heart for helping. So glad I found Allustra Dermatology.

I love Dr.Balaraman and her staff She listens attentively and I arrived early and and my appointment was for 9:30 trust me I was back at my home before 9:30 I love how she get to the problem I am so grateful for her seeing me when she did because I was on triage call to come in to the ER with in three hours of I couldn't get in to my PCP or dermatologist I just thank God that it work out for my good thank you Dr.Balaraman for all you do to helping me heal
