The office space was clean, I wasn't waiting long at all.what I loved mostly about my visit is how Dr. Zelaya was very patient and fully listened before replying. I recommend ALL to my new Dermatologist!

Report
Upon entering the reception area, attractive and empty, I was immediately pleased. It told me the doctor was not stockpiling his patients! Always an excellent sign for me! The receptionist was pleasant and gave me the necessary papers to fill out. As he had other patients already in attendance, there was a short wait. Dr. Zalaya was great. Went for consultation about facial fillings. He spoke patiently and completely about different product, administration thereof, costs of each etc.
He said he didn't have any openings for several weeks. I explained an issue in my life forthcoming and so he checked his schedule. As it happens he had an opening. He was able to do the procedure right then and there. Yay! I needed an ice pack in case of swelling which he promptly supplied. I had used Dr. Zalaya in the past for other dermatological reasons. Was happy then. And still. Recommend highly. Janet
