Reviews
Had several bad experiences with dermatologists and was searching for a new doctor when I found Dr. Riyaz. Couldn’t be happier. He put me at ease and I give him my highest recommendation for skin cancer treatment. He diagnosed basal cell carcinoma and removed it with Mohs surgery. The scar is invisible.
Hannah L.
My wife and I see Dr. Riyaz for Botox every 3 months. I was skeptical when she asked me to go, but now I am in love with how I look. So happy to find a dermatologist I can trust. I wouldn't trust my skin with anyone other than Dr. Riyaz.
Adam C.
As a doctor sometimes I need help for family members. When my daughter had bad acne, I asked other doctors in the area who they recommended. They all said we should see Dr. Riyaz. My daughter started Accutane and is thrilled with her results.
