Zoltan Trizna MD PHD

Best Dermatologist in Austin! The office staff is nice, and Dr. Trizna is very patient and knowledgeable. Great find compared to other offices I had tried in the area.

Dr. Trizna is a kind and very knowledgable. He takes his time with his patients and answers all of your questions and even offers a website to try to find discount medication. The office is beautiful and has a great vibe. I finally found an Austin dermatologist I like! Schedule an appointment if you’re thinking about it.

Dr Trizna and staff are very professional.
Having never been to a Dermatologist in the past I would highly recommend Dr Trizna. I saw other Unilocal reviews and choose him because of that so I would suggest you do the same and you won’t be disappointed.

fantastic doc — he takes the time to really ask questions and he doesn’t «lob» medications at the problem unless he thinks they can really have an impact. His office runs a tight ship so you aren’t waiting a long time. Besides being a good doc — a very intelligent and interesting individual.

Dr. Trizna and his staff go above and beyond to help you feel better and get you the treatment you need! I have had psoriasis for over 25 years, and have been frustrated with so many dermatologists thinking that the status quo of my condition was fine. Dr. Trizna listened to my concerns and helped me start taking Humira. This is the first time I have had «clear skin» as an adult. He really fought for me to have this important (and expensive!) medication, making several calls to my insurance on my behalf so that in the end, my medication is covered 100%. I can’t recommend him enough!

I’ve been here a handful of times in the past few years.
I like Dr. Trizna and his staff is really great. He is personable and takes time to explain things even when his office is very busy. He kept me waiting for 10 minutes after my appointment time, and sincerely apologized. I don’t know about you, but I generally expect to wait 15 – 20 when I go to any doctor. Dr. Trizna is all business, which I like a lot. I want to feel like I’m seeing a doctor, not spending time at a spa.
Highly recommended.

I’ve been battling some skin condition; saw doctors in Stanford, CA that were supposed to be the best… they never were able to treat me. I found Dr. Trizna on Unilocal and made an apt. when I moved to Austin a couple months ago. He didn’t want to give me a strong medication at first but rather try the «soft» treatment first. IT WORKED! In a matter of ONE appointment he treated me with the right medication. I would definitely recommend him!

I had a great big bald spot on the back of my head about 3 – 4 years ago. It was 5×6 inches. My hair dresser found it one day when I went to get my hair done.
I went to a previous doctor who just told me.“oh you’re just stressed. Just relax and it’ll grow back.” Well it never did. I was absolutely devastated with her response and had no idea where to go or who to turn to next. I just knew I needed a new doctor.
My supervisor then told me about Dr. Trizna and I quickly made an appointment to see him. Going in, I was super nervous and was afraid he too was just going to dismiss my concerns… but I was wrong. He was absolutely wonderful.
After 5 months of monthly steroid injections Into my scalp (which was painless… by the way) my hair finally started growing back. Today, you wouldn’t even know I had bald spots :)
He is such a nice and pleasant man. He takes the time to really hear about your concerns and quickly worked on a plan to correct my problem. He is one of the best! I highly recommend him.

I know doctors well, having worked for a major pharmaceutical company (20 years) and ‘detailing’ them on medications and pharmacology. For years, as a patient, i have dropped many doctors here in Austin for excessive errors, poor office administration, and simply running an ‘assembly line’ practice, some for not knowing their pharmacology. I have ‘dismissed’ at least six dermatologist here in Austin.
Dr. Trizna does not run an assembly line practice, knows his medicine, and runs a stable practice. He is obviously educated and qualified, BUT, his real smarts are in the personal treatment of his patients. He is void of that condescending attitude that most U.S. doctors reflect, his approach is friendly and he establishes a partnership with each patient, thus a bond is established between patient and practitioner.
If a minor office procedural problem occurs, he steps in an personally resolves same.
His personality and demeanor is such that you feel a personal re-​pore with him.
Many doctors are ‘burnt out’ and practice like a robot, a superior robot, that must lower himself/​herself to the ‘ground level’ status of his/​her patients.
Our ailing medical system has hit new lows — Dr. Trizna has found a method of delivery
that is superior and void of those consistent doctor habits of being inpatient, indifference, dismissive, and arrogance.
There are many folks that are as intelligent and educated as MD/DO’s, they simply pursued careers out side medicine.
I believe the underlying cause of Dr. Trizna’s superior practice is not his M.D. or PhD.
degrees, he is simply a kind compassionate person that does not elevate himself, and treats patients like he would want to be treated himself.
His medical skills are stellar.

Everything other reviews have written is true. This guy is awesome, very intelligent, and personable. These qualities rarely make it into one physician and he’s a gem. I can’t recommend him enough if you have anything in his realm of expertise.

Dr Zoltan is awesome! He is ontime, funny, and charges reasonable rates.
Another dermatologist, left me scarred after removing a suspect mole. This scar turned into a giant keloid. I saw a dermatologist in Peru who said there was nothing that could be done. Zoltan made my huge bump vanish in days! Love him!

Zoltan is a great dermatologist, very thorough and knowledgeable. I’ve been to my fair share of dermatologists because of squamous cell skin cancer that was found when I turned 30, and by far zoltan is my favorite one. His staff are friendly and there was no wait when I got there for my check up. I feel like I’m in good hands with him and I don’t feel weird during the thorough check ups because of his professional, yet humorous, demeanor.

The best dermatologist I have met in my life is Dr. Trizna (fyi I lived in US, Canada and Europe, so I did see plenty of doctors)! Dr. Trizna is very knowledgeable (Ph.D. in medicine, published articles in medical journals, etc), calm and composed, caring, has great hands and is a great listener! My wife and I have been patients of his for the last 12 years and we continue to be impressed by his results and his professional knowledge! Apart from being able to treat skin problems, Dr. Trizna also came in the office over a weekend (on a Saturday) to treat some huge fire ant blisters on my wife’s feet! She got better right away, and even though we bothered the doctor over weekend he kept smiling and reassuring us that the procedure will help and we will be better soon (he was right again).
Do not search for another dermatologist in the Austin area! Go see Dr. Trizna and his nurse Emily! The greatest medical team ever…

This guy is a true doctor for the people.
I wish I had found him when I first moved to Austin. He removed a mole from my neck and did it with conversation to take my mind off of what was happening.
Afterword he took plenty of time to teach me how to take care of my skin so that it would heal well. He also took the time to get to know me and ask questions about my studies/​work etc.
I’m currently an uninsured student so he also made the process ea$y for me to deal with. I did some research and called several offices around town and many of them wanted to charge me double what I paid today, just for a consultation! Oh, and his staff was super friendly. Awesome experience.

I recently visited Dr. Trizna for some skin spots that needed attention. Dr. Trizna is a wonderful doctor with an outstanding bedside manner. He has time for his patient, he is enormously attentive, and very professional. This is my first time to a dermatologist, but I would HIGHLY recommend Dr. Trizna to anyone. I wish all of our medical community was this good.

Dr. Trizna and his entire staff were amazing. As a self-​pay patient, they outlined all my expenses up front — and the cost of my visit was ridiculously low. He diagnosed my issue, took care of it then and there, and had me out of the office in thirty minutes. At no time however did I feel rushed or as though I was a number. He explained what I could expect in the next few days and made sure I had no questions. Totally recommend this gentleman if you need any dermatological help!

Dr Trizna rocks. I’ve had nothing but great experiences with the whole office staff. Found him here on Unilocal about a year ago, got in same day due to speculation of my condition being shingles, and it turned out it was. Was on treatment that very day and was able to kick it super fast because I didn’t have to wait for an appointment. Now he’s my doc for all my other life long skin issues.
I see no reason to even consider finding a new dermatologist. Oh, and they answer questions I have over the phone with not a hint of being annoyed about it. Doctors tend to suck, this guy is legit. If you live within 30 miles of this guys office, see him.

I had been to several flashy dermatologists in the Austin area, all of which have been incredibly disappointing. None of them took the time to address my concerns or prescribed me anything that cleared up my skin. I had adult onset cystic acne, ouch.
Dr.Trizna’s as a medical professional is very helpful and incredibly practical. He not only gave me medicine that actually cleared my skin but when he found out I didn’t have insurance was very willing not to gouge me on appt fees. I was probably willing to pay my weight in gold for a skin treatment that worked by this point so I was surprised how reasonable his fees were. He is incredibly polite and has a great staff. The women who work there are so sweet. I was actually shocked to finally encounter a good dermatologist which is kind of sad but so refreshing.
I recommend Dr. Trizna for the fact that he cares about his patients, is highly educated in his profession and when I asked him if I needed botox he giggled. «My dear you are fahhhrrrr to young».

How have I not reviewed Dr. Trizna?! Crazy.
Dr. ZoltanTrizna is a bad ass, and not just because of his sweet name. When I went to cancun I came back with some kind of crazy rash. It looked like spontaneous bruising, scary sh-​t. My primary doctor had no clue and did bloodwork on the spot because they were concerned. In the meantime, as it turns out, my amigos are pretty smart and told me the reaction was from was from lime juice and the sun. I did a little research on this and guess whose paper I found? Dr. Zoltan Trizna. Boom!
Phytophotodermatitis — also known as «Margarita Dermatitis» — is a real condition where the UV reacts with the citrus. It starts with bruising (it’s often mistaken for abuse) then starts to blister. Zoltan identified it instantly and hooked me up with some cream and sent me on my way with reassurances it was no big deal. Whew!
A week or so ago — some two years later — I called up Trizna again because I wanted to see what he could do about this bump on my face. It was like a freckle gone wrong; it looked like a big blackhead and had been there for years, but seemed to be growing… to the point of affecting my vision. (Ok, so it wasn’t a giant tumor, more like the size of a pinhead, but I figured if I stated it that way, insurance would cover it ;-)
Trizna took one look, identified it as a cyst and said he would remove it. Like, right then. This freaked me out a bit but the nurse was really sweet and led me into a room and assured me it would take about ten seconds and be pain free. She was right. Trizna basically cut that shit right off, gave me a bandaid and sent me on my way. Whoo hoo! So I guess i’m really vain, but this little guy had been seriously bothering me — I only wish I’d gone in sooner!
so yeah, if you need a dermatologist, and you want one who knows his stuff and has a bad ass name, get yourself to Dr. Zoltan!

I was burned during a laser hair removal treatment and their attorney said I needed to be evaluated by a doctor. I found Dr. Trizna by referral of my family doctor.
He and his staff are warm, caring, compassionate and don’t treat you like a number. Dr. Trizna spent time listening to me when I described my pain and did such a thorough examination. He was kind and treated me with dignity. I was very embarrassed to go there because of the way my underarms looked (scarred and burned) but he put me at ease and recommended the course of treatment necessary to fade the scarring as much as possible.
I would HIGHLY recommend Dr. Trizna to anyone looking for a dermatologist in Austin. I think more Doctors should be like him instead of popping patients in and out on a conveyor belt.
