Albert C Cattell, MD

I’ve been going to this office for a couple of years. I’ve seen Dr. Cattell and his PAs and have been very happy with the care I’ve received. I have a chronic skin condition and the office is accommodating when I’m having a flare and need an appointment. The staff is friendly and helpful and I highly recommend the office!

I was referred to this dermatologist through my PCP. It’s been a long time since I’ve been to a dermatologist, so I wasn’t really sure what to expect. Dr. Cattell is pretty quiet, but is really nice. His office always seems very busy to me– it looks like there’s always A LOT of staff everywhere, but both times I’ve been in there Dr. Cattell is the person I’ve seen to do the exam or procedure, even if the PA-​C gives me the shot or preps me (I had a mole removed).
My only complaint is that both times I’ve been there my given appointment time was 15 minutes prior to my being roomed. I know there are some doctor’s offices that give patients an «arrival time» rather than an «appointment time» because patients running late affects everyone else’s appointment. I’m thinking that my given time is an arrival time, rather than an appointment time. However, both times it’s been a quick appointment, even when my mole was being removed. The staff are really polite and are extremely organized when it comes to their patients.
My first appointment was within a week, while I scheduled my second for a few months later, if that helps anyone with wait times for an appointment. And no, mine wasn’t for skin cancer, and I didn’t have anyone try to push any procedures of products on me that I didn’t want.

I have a mild skin condition and was told they are not accepting patients for any skin conditions except for skin cancer. Also, their first available appointment is in December (it is early October as of writing this) so if you do have skin cancer, good luck to you. I have never heard of anything so absurd.
I would write avoid them, but they are pretty good at avoiding you, so just save yourself the time and don’t even call.

I have a bothersome dark spot on my arm that hurts and wanted to have it checked out. I waited a month for an appointment. Even though I had the very first appointment the PA I saw was more than half an hour late. I chose Dr Cattell for his «focus» in skin cancer and was disappointed to see a PA. He spent 5 min looking over my whole body and not even taking a closer look at my arm. I never got an answer why my dark spot hurts or is irritated each time I go into the sun. He just shrugged and wanted to sell me hair removal services. My concern might be nothing serious, but I felt like the PA did not pay any attention to the actual problem. During the 5 minutes that I saw him he offered me laser hair removal services 3 times even though I told him I am not interested. I was very disappointed in my visit which cost me a fortune that I have to pay out of my own pocket. Useless
