From my very first appointment, Dr. Tina Alster and her team provided an exceptional patient experience. I was seeking treatment for a persistent discoloration on my lower lip following a minor injury that simply would not heal on its own. After carefully evaluating the area, Dr. Alster confidently explained the diagnosis, answered all of my questions, and developed a treatment plan that gave me confidence moving forward.
Dr. Alster is everything you hope to find in a physician, friendly, knowledgeable, confident, and genuinely attentive. She took the time to address my concerns and set appropriate expectations throughout the process, which I greatly appreciated.
The office itself is beautiful, calming, and welcoming, and every member of the staff I encountered was warm, professional, and kind.
My treatment required two laser procedures, and I carefully followed Dr. Alster's post-treatment instructions. The results have been outstanding. My lip has healed beautifully, and I truly feel like myself again. I couldn't be happier with the outcome.
If you're looking for a dermatologist with exceptional expertise in laser treatments and outstanding patient care, I highly recommend Dr. Alster. She is simply the real deal.

Service was impeccable, when you first walk in to when you leave. The staff are very knowledgeable and make this process easy to follow along helping us understand everything as we go through it. My cousin was born with a type of hyperpigmentation that's on her whole face (including her eyes) after being told no from 2 other hospitals, we were thankfully referred to here by a previous doctor. After our initial consultation we were told "Yes!" It's was our Hail Mary, the doctor was so kind and informative, we saw results instantly and the healing process went smoothly. So far we've been here 3 times in the span of 4 months, it's quick and her pigmentation is starting to fade away. I highly recommend coming here, this place does more than heal or treat, this clinic transforms lives.

This is a very nice establishment as soon as we walked in we were greeted and gifted just because it was our first visit. The staff are very nice and professional. I am definitely coming back to them they even let us watch our daughter have her surgery and provide us with safety glasses. We need more professionals and people like this! Great visit

Dr. Tina Alster is amazing. My son had a rare form of acne that only 1% of people in the world with acne get. It left him with insane scaring and keliods on most of his upper body. We would get asked what type of accident was he in. We saw countless of doctors that could not help my son. As soon as Dr. Alster walked in, she said I got this, this is what I do. I broken down in tears. Dr. Alster has been such a blessing in our lives. I wouldn't trust anyone else with my son.

Dr. Nina Hartman is intelligent, personable, and most importantly , addresses all concerns without attempting to upsell unnecessary cosmetic services. Her expertise was greatly appreciated and effective in correcting the damage to my skin that occurred from a cosmetic treatment administered incorrectly by another practice. Dr. Hartman Is amazing and I highly recommend this Institute.
