Spectrum Dermatology of Seattle (First Hill)

Excellent reception/terrible medical staff Positive: The reception is phenomenal—kind, attentive, and truly 5-star. I was even offered a lovely drinking glass of ice water while waiting for my appointment, which was a very nice touch. Negative / Concern: Unfortunately, my experience with Dr. Roshni and the medical team was extremely concerning and has left me without guidance on multiple high-potency medications that were prescribed during my visit. Dr. Roshni explicitly instructed me not to use any of these medications until the front desk provided written instructions, which I was told I would receive at the end of my appointment. These instructions were never provided. Over a week later, my health issue persists, yet there is no after-visit summary, no communication from the doctor, and the office has no visit notes on file. I attempted to resolve the issue in person immediately after my appointment, asking to speak directly with the doctor, but my request was refused. Despite repeated assurances from the reception that I would receive same-day follow-up instructions, nothing has been communicated. I cannot safely use any of my prescribed medications because the step-by-step instructions I was promised—beyond standard pharmacy instructions—have not been provided. While the reception staff consistently provides excellent service, the lack of communication from Dr. Roshni regarding critical medical guidance is alarming. My card has already been charged, yet I remain without the necessary instructions to safely use my medications. It is deeply insulting and isolating to feel ignored, especially when reading the other glowing reviews.

Had a fabulous experience with Dr.Paula Zook, as always! I have been a patient of Dr. Zook’s practice for over 15 years. She is excellent with medical and cosmetic Dermatology! I trust her judgment implicitly! Dr. Zook will always give her honest input on cosmetic procedures and will make sure to never "overdo" anything, which I appreciate! The practice sells a variety of products including very moderately priced lines, so something for everyone! Can’t recommend her enough!

The best dermatologists I've found anywhere! Women-led office, progressive, alt-friendly. All my doctors here have been extremely considerate of my needle-phobia, making accommodations without being judgemental, and balancing kindness with their expert advice - which has been especially amazing as I navigated some more sensitive procedures. I'm so grateful for this place.

Efficient, welcoming and really skilled on all the issues I’ve had about my skincare. They get it and really solve things. Every experience has been consistent and comfortably solved. So much praise for Spectrum!

This was the first time i had ever gone to a dermatologist, at 26. i went in to get some bumps looked at, none of them turned out to be cancerous, just bothersome. one in particular on my nose was interfering with my line of sight and my self confidence! Dr. Roshini scheduled me to shave off the mole the very next day. Going in i was extremely nervous but the worst part was the lidocaine! i felt nothing and i took all of 10 minutes from the minute i walked in the door! just smelled burning as she was cauterizing my wound. the assistant did a great job at distracting me and they gave me a stress ball to help. the worst part about this place was finding somewhere to park. i have an oversized vehicle so i was not able to use the parking garage next door (that they provide parking verification for!) i would recommend all my friends to Spectrum Dermatology in the future!

Roshni Chantel was recommended to me by a friend. Roshni was very thorough, honest and knowledgeable. Very happy with my 1st appt and future plan of care. I look forward to being cared by her & her team. Thank you.

I had a really nice experience with spectrum. Their facility is clean and modern and the staff were incredibly kind and accommodating. My doctor was informative and knowledgeable and I would absolutely go back for future skin care treatments.
