2 reviews for Murad Medical Group
I drive by Murad everyday during my commute to work. My mother has been using their products for years, so I knew they would be reliable.
I've been having some skin inflammation problems for a little over a month now. Being the stubborn person I am, I refused to see a dermatologist, but couldn't take it anymore. Luckily, they are covered by my insurance and it was time for me to finally make my appointment.
They were able to see me next day, which was awesome. I called around for other dermatologists (this was my first time ever going to a dermatologist), but their earliest day they could see me was a few weeks from the day I called. I was not about to wait 3-4 weeks.
I met with Dr. Magovern. She is very nice and makes you feel extremely comfortable. Very easy to talk to. She recommended a few products for me, provided some samples (actually, A LOT of samples), and sent me on my way.
The best part was she didn't pressure me into buying any of their expensive products! She of course recommended some of their cleaners and moisturizers, but also recommended inexpensive but effective over the counter products. She even listed stores for me to go to in order to get the best prices!
So I had an extremely pleasant visit. So why 4 stars instead of 5? Well, I had to wait a bit to be seen. I came in early to fill out paper work, but still had to wait about 20 minutes past my appointment time. Not too bad, I know. It could've been worse, but still a factor.
Also, when I called the day before, a man who wasn't authorized to make appointments picked up, took a message, and said I'd receive a phone call shortly. Hours passed and I still didn't receive a phone call so I called again. This time, my appointment was taken. I recommend you call in again if you leave a message as you may never receive a call back.
My life is crap. I just turned 27 and I have more acne than I did at 15. What in the hell is that? Fortunately, I still have really good parking luck (i.e.spot closest to the door at the mall on Christmas Eve) so, I'll take the acne, I guess. Wait, no I wont. That's why I sent myself to Dr. Murad's clinic this week to get my face fixed.
I can't say I'm 100% cured just yet, but my experience was good. I'd never been to a Dermatologist before, so I kinda felt like a jerk showing up without skin cancer or moles that were taking over my body. Luckily, the good doctor understood my concerns, took the time to explain everything, and gave me some decisions on which medications to try out. Better yet, they didn't try to sell me a single product. I chose Murad initially because I use their stuff already and I didn't want to go somewhere that would tell me to buy new $38 soap. The whole thing was wrapped up with a complimentary enzyme treatment that the lovely Aesthetician slathered on me. The office is in the same building, but it's different from the Murad Spa, since it's an actual doctor's office. Of course, Botox, medical grade facials, chemical peels, and all the other hoopla that bored people do are offered. So, check with your insurance, and take your bad skin here. That's what I did.
