I have been a patient of AP Derm for 50 years…. They try hard to take care of you, but it seems they don’t have enough time to do what is necessary. I wish they allowed a bit more time for the doctors to check for all the bad spots on the body.

I have been to APDerm for two years, both Wellesley and Watertown. Dr Liou and his staff are friendly, efficient, knowledgeable and professional. I highly recommend this office and staff for all your dermotology needs.

I like Dr Joyce but the nurse had to write out instructions on a piece of paper bc she said her notes on the system are not connected to the printer. I prefer printed instructions instead of handwritten notes. Dr Joyce assured me that the instructions would be printed out. Are they available on a portal? That would be good so I can refer to them again.

Dr. Kathleen is amazing and friendly. Being a new patient, she was able to quickly understand my concern, look at overall diagnosis and was able to suggest medications that were never subscribed to me for my chronic condition by any of my previous dermatologist. She explained well how the medication works and it's side effect and how long would it take for it to work.

Professional, courteous, prompt and an enjoyable visit for a skin exam. Dr. Liou and his medical assistant Morgan were great to work with. Looking forward to continuing to work with them as primary dermatology care providers for me and my family.

Don't Go! Don't Go! Don't Go! Because they charge you 5 times more than others but provide below average service. The doctor here didn't help me at all, he didn't find anything course my allergy, no suggestions how to prevent things happen again, no explanation for what he did!! and he ask me to do patch test without discloure to me the true cost, which is $1560 for PATCH Test , and the average cost is $60-$300. they charge you 5 times more. after I done patch test, some spots still remain active, it's itchey & redness and rough skin last till now(amost 1 month later), also he didn't gave me any suggestions about how to live with the after test uncomfortable. The whole diagnos is resultless, I feel like my case is his biggest career chllenge. Also, the billing department is lying about the number, the $1560 amount is the number my insurance company made, but actually it's not, it's the amount they claimed to my insurance company, why you are lying, the whole experience is horrible and unacceptible . If you go you may get nothing but dissapointment like me.

We went for my 6 year olds ear piercing and we had an amazing experience.. Elizabeth was wonderful and she went the extra mile to make my daughter feel comfortable and she made her day with piercing her ears.I would definitely go back here to get my younger ones ears pierced and would recommend this place.

The office was very clean and my appointment was quick, maybe 3 minutes tops. I don't think the doctor had time to review my notes because he asked me the same questions that were on the check-in survey. He looked at my face for a few seconds then prescribed me a cream and a gel. I left a bit disappointed because I traveled far to get there and I didn't really get an official diagnosis, but I am glad that they offered a telehealth visit for my follow up. I hope the treatment works and that I get more clarity on my condition during the follow up appointment.

Actresses do it, politicians do it, even 30-something’s do it… what I mean is “enhance” their appearance to combat the signs of aging. Why not the rest of us? Dr. Joyce is helping me reduce my smile lines, crow’s feet, and other problematic issues. Now I will feel like a million bucks as a mother-of-the-bride at my daughter’s upcoming wedding in August. Thanks Dr. Joyce!

Since coming to see Dr. Joyce I have had by far the best experience I’ve ever had with a dermatologist. She is very thorough and explains everything well. She found my melanoma and got me in immediately with a top surgeon who removed it. I am eternally grateful for Dr. Joyce and all she did for me. I highly recommend her and her practice!

I cannot recommend AP Dermatology enough. I've seen both Dr. Joyce and Dr. Washburn and both were warm and fantastic. The office got me in next day on two occasions for acute issues with no problem. Today I showed up on the wrong day for a follow up and they still got me in. The receptionist is lovely. Jenny, one of the assistants, is also lovely. I will continue to go here whenever I'm in need in the area.

Happily, I have a long history as a patient with AP Derm, getting assistance to address dermatological issues at a younger age with great results. When I receive offers from AP Derm with discounts, I always review as these offers are always a great deal. I visited the Wellesley site, and met with Elizabeth Lazaro, RN, BSN.First of all, they have a great method of texting before the appointment, and confirming when you arrive in the parking lot. They called me into appt early, no waiting, and requesting Covid masking. Elizabeth and I reviewed my options, and she wanted to gather some additional information. She got back to me that day about the treatment I was seeking, and I now look forward to scheduling my appointment.Elizabeth was so professional and kind, I cannot wait and feel she will provide great service during my next appointment. The site was so clean, and all staff friendly. I continue to be impressed by AP Derm!

I have been going to adult and pediatric dermatology for the last 10 years or so. They have always been an excellent organization. They are efficient caring and knowledgeable professionals that stay on top of your medical needs and are thorough and personable people. If you're looking for a dermatologist I would highly recommend Dr Washburn, she is an excellent doctor that I would not hesitate recommending.

APDerm in Wellesley is a safe doctors office abiding by Covid protocols. The advance check in, being called to enter from the parking lot and entering the office was a breeze.

I couldn’t be happier with this practice. They are very professional, thorough, and friendly. Dr. Joyce fit me into her very packed schedule and took my concerns seriously. She knows me and has been there every step where I’ve needed her, particularly beginning and since her discovery of a melanoma. She acted quickly and decisively and got me to a top surgeon. I trust her.

Dr. Washburn is a wonderful doctor; she is detailed and straightforward but in a very caring, warm way. I have been her patient for 15 years. My 95-year old father just had his first appointment with Dr. Liou and thought he was terrific (as did I). This is an excellent medical team/office.

Dr Joyce, at Ap Derm Wellesley, is an excellent Dermatologist and cosmetic doctor. She is very caring and professional and an expert in her field. Her work is exceptional. Very lucky to have her. Her assistant Carol couldn’t be nicer and also is very caring and professional. They both make you feel you’re the only patient in their care and are never rushed.
