Have been with Dr. Farady for a couple of decades. She's an excellent dermatologist who even kindly listens to (barely related?!) other "issues." While I'll be sad not to see her as my dermatologist when she retires, of course I'm happy for her. AND I s'pect I'll still be in (new! And) good dermatologist hands at this office.

The wait time getting into my appointment was quite long. However, when I got into the room and met with the doctor I had one of the best dermatology appointments. The nurses and doctor took the time to really listen to and address my concerns. They were efficient, friendly, and wonderful. I went mid day and there were a lot of patients there, which made the wait time longer. But when my husband went first thing in the morning he got right in and out. Dr. Kimmel spent time to make sure I had a quality appointment. Thank you! Scheduling was easy as well. I will 100% be returning.

I continue to see Dr. Farady as a patient and it is obvious that she has assembled a great young team to pass the baton to when she is ready to ride off into the sunset! She is a wonderful and gifted dermatologist and has served the Austin community well for several decades! I know my father, Dr. Mac Brannen, who retired and turned over the reins to Dr. Farady, is also proud of her and grateful for the service that she has rendered.

Can't say enough about how professional and supportive this team is. They go out of their way to make you comfortable. I have seen Dr Farady for years with history of skin issues but also recently started using the cosmetic services as I get older. The prices are very good and they do a very thorough job. I highly recommend Dr Chu and Lidija Balic if Dr Farady is not available. Very supportive and professional individuals. Dr. Farady has really built an exceptional team.
