I am really appreciative that Dr. Amin's office could get me in to see him within 2 weeks of learning of my condition. Dr. Amin personally communicated with me, and I was truly impressed with the novel concept of providing a dermatology and rheumatology joint consultation at the Pso-PsA Clinic since rheumatic issues often present with skin-related symptoms.

Dr. Amin was fantastic. 10/10. Listened to my concerns, observed the areas requested, and then gave me options for where to go from there. In the same appointment I was able to get things taken care of that have been bothering me for years, with a referral for something that he was unable to address himself. He was polite, respectful, and professional. So happy I came in when I did.
