Madhavi Kandula, MD

Dr. Kandula is by far the best dermatologist in St. Louis. I have been her patient for over 15 years. I see her about once a year, and it’s almost as if I saw her yesterday, as she knows my skin inside and out. Her staff is friendly, and she is incredibly humble and empathetic.

Dr. Kandula has a wonderful bedside manner. She makes you feel at home and answers any questions you may have. I go to her for my dermatological concerns and for anti-​aging. She is the best I’ve found in St Louis. Highly recommend!

There is no Dermatologist in the City of St Louis that can compare. I came in with a list of questions and she took the time to answer them all with a thoroughness. She offered an honest critique of my skin and prescribed based on her expertise and not on perks she is receiving from cosmetic and pharmaceutical companies. She has a list of products that she believes in and uses herself and sells quite a few out of her office. She will also mail you a refill so that you don’t have to make the trip to her office… that’s pretty awesome. Like a reviewer noted before me, she is passionate about skincare and this shows.

I used to see Dr. Kandula years ago when I was a teenager and early adult. She’s the greatest dermatologist I’ve ever seen and will do whatever she can to help you determine the best solutions to your individual issues. She will never just give you a text book answer. Unfortunately, insurance coverage changes with jobs, so I am not able to see her currently. I have my fingers crossed that one day I will grace her purple and teal offices yet again. (Are they still purple and teal?)

I’ve been going to Dr. Kandula for about 5 months and I am very satisfied. She does run on time which is great if you are trying to get an appointment in on a lunch hour. I feel like her recommendations for treatment are very personalized and have been very effective for me. Her office is fantastic along with everyone that works there. I would recommend her to anyone.

I recommend Dr. K if you’re looking for a high-​end dermatologist experience. She knows what the best products are and doesn’t just push Neutrogena in your face (pun intended) and call it a day. She carries great skincare lines (TNS, Cosmeceuticals, etc.) but it’s clear she’s not carrying them just because they’re fancy brands. Rather, she is meticulous in choosing products that offer the best, most effective ingredients. She’s knowledgeable and passionate about skincare.
Her office is gorgeous – very L.A. and has a lovely boutique feel. Plus, she runs on time.
I’ve only gone for skincare advice and haven’t had any cosmetic procedures with her, yet. I also haven’t gone for any really clinical dermatological issues so I can’t speak to that. But, I do know that if you’re looking for a doc to amp up your skincare regimen, she’s your woman.
