I read all of these reviews and I couldn't agree more with Leif P.'s review. This practice is only interested in making money. I saw Dr. Puente as a patient a few times but I made my decision never to return. I am a nurse and I noticed during my visits there that they reuse suture material. I noticed this when I allowed the practice to perform a biopsy on me. They don't take out new suture material. They reuse used sutures by other patients by sterilizing them and then repackaging it. It is not in its original, brand new pac... read more

I have visited this practice 4 times in the last two months. I think that the Dr. as well as the rest of the medical staff that I have encountered are polite and knowledgeable as well as patient in their dealings with me. However, the office staff is quite another story. They have personal conversations that have to be finished before they can turn their attention to the patient. If you make a request of them such as a return phone call concerning benefit questions, or an estimate for future services they look around at one ... read more

Melanie Adams is very pleasant and I have nothing but great things to say about her! I recently transferred my Dermatology care to this practice, and am very pleased with my decision.

The most unprofessional Doctor I have seen – I have had trouble with circulation to my feet since a stroke 6 years ago. After treatment I needed to address a poor skin condition.

He wanted to double my Lasik, and was going to... read more

No respect for handicap patient – My brother is a high functioning Autistic Adult. I called Raleigh Dermatology due to his severe acne, i had read a few positive reviews and decided to give them a try. I talked to the receptionist many times before our visit explaining to her our situation. He will not sit for more than 10 seconds in the waiting room, alot of people in one area over stimulate him and cause him to stem(a medical term for autistic individuals). It is hard to keep him calm when he is out of his routine. So when... read more

Dr. Valerie Laing – I see Dr. Laing for acne and she's wonderful. She's friendly, she listens and she's fast yet doesn't rush through things. Her office is run efficiently as well - I've never had to wait more than 5-10 minutes for my appointment time.
