Advanced Dermatology & Laser Center

Seems to me this doctor is more worried about his pocket book than his patients. Dr. Knap waited until my girlfriend was in the middle of surgery to speak up about several new blemishes with which he claimed to be concerned. As she lay exposed on the hospital bed with incisions and stitches in her upper back and shoulder the doc asked «how much money do you have?» She tells him she has around $ 500 to spend. He then informs her that she has several additional «concerning» blemishes which he apparently had missed during the examination. At this point in her vulnerable and somewhat fearful state she agreed to let the doctor address these concerns by removing the additional blemishes up to the value of her allotted budget. As he is continuing to cut at her skin he comments «your boyfriend is really going to appreciate this.» Which to us indicates that these blemishes were more cosmetic than medically necessary or concerning. As he’s stitching the last incision he informs my girlfriend that he had gone over her desired range which he conveniently remembers to be $ 600 although she clearly told him she only had $ 500. He tells her not to worry as he’ll be willing to waive any additional fees because he chose to continue removing these blemishes despite her budget limitations. After the surgery she goes to check out with the receptionist who is under the impression that the doctor’s fees are over a thousand dollars. My girlfriend, already in tears and traumatized by the whole experience, explains the deal she had worked out with Dr. Knap and the receptionist says something to the effect of «we base the price on the paperwork and it tells me that this is the amount you owe.» At this point my emotionally distraught counterpart begins to cry and argues her case. Everyone in the lobby could feel tension growing which prompted the nurse (who was great) to direct her back to the doctors operating room to consult him about the deal he made. After he is done examining a different patient some 30 – 45 minutes later Dr. Knap meets her in the room and they begin to argue over the price. Eventually he concedes to uphold his agreement and informs the receptionist to change the price. Finally she pays $ 600 and is instructed to return for stitch removal. I couldn’t wait to get out of that torturous office! To me, this whole absurd and unprofessional manner of treatment seems highly suspicious. I would not recommend anyone to use this dermatologist if he was the only one for a hundred miles.

Dr. Knapp and the office is good, but personally I feel that he is getting older and his accuracy is now off. Sorry but that is the truth :(

Really nice Dr. and staff. I had issues that bothered me for a while and within two weeks Dr. Knapp took care of everything. I never felt rushed and always felt like I was in good hands. Highly recommend Advanced Dermatology. As an extra bonus they have tons of free samples to take home it’s like trick or treating for adults.

I couldn’t recommend enough NOT going here. I do not have insurance, and paid out of pocket to be seen. When I left that appointment, the doctor recommended that I return in a few days to be seen again to reevaluated. Since I do not have insurance, he said he wouldn’t charge me, he just wanted to see how the treatment was working for my acne. I agreed to return on these conditions. On my return visit, I decided to purchase a facial wash. A few months later, I received a notice in the mail that I needed to pay an outstanding $ 49 for the second office visit. I called and spoke to the woman, and she gave me some ridiculous reason as to why they had to charge me. Now, about 2 months later, I received a nice letter from a creditor with an absurd amount of interest on the «outstanding» balance.
This business is only after money. The doctor spent about 15 minutes with me and didn’t learn anything about my history or try to determine what could be causing my severe acne. He sprayed something on my face, and never told me that it was $ 49 to have it sprayed. Knowing that, I would have never agreed. Maybe this business should work on their customer relations instead of being greedy and only seeking as much money as they can suck out of people. Horrible business. I’m shocked people even have anything good to say about them. Disgusting.

Great doctor, great staff. He has a very solid bedside manner and is good at his trait. Negative star for the level of pain and wait time.

I have really great insurance, and the receptionist told me right away, «no we don’t take that insurance, without having any idea». My insurance is taken everywhere… and if it is out of network that I pay more which I explained I was fine with. Extremely rude level of service, turning away business.

This place is great! The staff is very friendly and knowledgeable. I love the products as well. They are gentle on my skin, and help smooth out the wrinkles.

Dr. Knapp recommended biopsying 4 moles. I was somewhat skeptical even at first because other doctors had seen those moles & not told me they were a problem. But Dr. Knapp was supposto be an expert so I trusted him & began the procedures over the course of a couple weeks. As we neared the end he recommended biopsying 2 more moles that he had not mentioned previously. At that point I could tell he wasn’t being honest with me. I followed up with another dermatologist to be sure. The 2^nd dermatologist said the remaining moles showed no signs of concern & there was no reason to biopsy them.

Great place!!! I don’t have insurance so was looking to find a place that was affordable… and they are!!! My first visit was an evening appointment and I waited only 5 mins until I was seen. Dr. Knapp is so sweet & cares about his patients.

I went here after reading Unilocal reviews because I also do not have health insurance but I needed a dermatologist, his prices are very reasonable. Dr. Knapp is awesome and the office staff is very nice. I haven’t had much trouble with waiting either, first time I had an evening appointment, I waited like 5 minutes before I was called in, second time I had a morning appointment, no waiting at all. Dr. Knapp is very kind and he takes time to listen to you. I highly recommend this practice.

Why would a doctor who has not had laser in his practice for over a year still keep it in his name and business title?
That’s not good for consumers. Please take the time and be truthful about what you offer.

I’ve been in here twice now. Both times I had to wait almost 30mins before they saw me… that’s with an appointment. On top of me being 10 mins early… that’s a little to long to wait with an appointment.
Besides that, the doc was good, clean and respectful.

I purchased a deal on Living Social for Botox. I’ve been getting Botox for 10 years + and have experienced many different providers, the best of which take the time to evaluate your muscle structure and skin tone so as to maximize where to best place it. Dr Knapp is meticulous, he takes his time and is obviously extremely experienced, the results showed. 3 months later my face still looks great whereas with most docs I need a touch up in 2 ½ months. I will definitely be going back, coupon or not as the prices are very reasonable ($ 10/​unit) plus the location is right down the street from my house and they don’t try to upsell you on any products or services.

This dr. Is great! I had impetigo and needed a prescription asap! He squeezed me in in one day and I was out with medicine all under 100 $ and no insurance! He has a new patient for life!
My previous dermatologist was horrible! I have chronic eczema and my previous doctor wouldn’t take any patient without insurance or a referral!
This dr. Is irreplaceable!

Dr. Knapp is a great dermatologist. I came to him with really bad acne, and anyone with acne knows how embarrassing it can be. He made me feel very comfortable and confident that he could really help me get rid of it. I am getting married and want clear skin for the big day. After two weeks of being on his regimen I already see great improvement and know that I will be happy with the result. Overall I would definitely recommend Dr. Knapp to anyone who is looking for a good dermatologist who cares about his patients… the staff is great too. :)

Dr. Knapp is a real professional I get my botox done by him and always I get the best experience.
He takes his time, he is patient and nice. His staff are extremely nice and professional.
I highly recommend him to everybody

This facility had very kind staff. I can not believe how much improvement my skin had. After trying every thing else I had given up hope of clear skin on my wedding day. Thanks to the Dr. my wedding day was perfect and I have pictures to show for years to come.

The staff is very courteous, friendly and Dr. Knapp is very comforting. I was put at ease right away with the Dr’s kind and friendly conversation. He takes his time with you and genuinely is concerned with your well being. I’ve found my new Dermatologist and will be telling everyone I care about to go see him.
