I had the distinct privilege of seeing Dr. Austin in September 2023 to address a longstanding issue with melasma. A stubborn, dark brown spot had developed on my left cheek under my eye, which I struggled to conceal with foundation for years. Despite various treatments, my skin never seemed to improve, leaving me frustrated and unsure of how to move forward.

From the moment I met Dr. Austin, I was struck by her profound knowledge and the level of care she provided. She explained, with remarkable clarity, why my skin had been so resistant to healing. Her insight into how melasma behaves on brown skin--where the healing process is often more gradual--was enlightening. Dr. Austin didn't just offer me a treatment plan; she gave me a thorough understanding of my skin's unique needs and the realistic expectations I should have for the healing journey.

What I didn't expect was to witness such tangible results. Under Dr. Austin's guidance, my skin began to improve steadily and visibly, something I had all but given up hope on. She restored my confidence not just in the potential of my skin, but in the idea that true healing could be possible. Her approach combines expertise, patience, and a deep understanding of both the science and psychology of skin care. Dr. Austin is a rare find in the field--an expert who doesn't just treat symptoms but empowers patients with knowledge, compassion, and a renewed sense of optimism.

If you're seeking a dermatologist who combines technical mastery with a thoughtful, patient-centered approach, Dr. Austin is, without a doubt, the person you need. I am incredibly grateful for her guidance and the transformation she has helped me achieve, both in my skin and in my perspective on what's possible.

Dr. Welsh is the consummate skin care professional. She is thorough and inquisitive, extremely knowledgeable and informative. Her genuine concern for her patients is clear; and it is the hallmark of her practice. She is as lovely as she is brilliant.

This investment by Dr. Welsh ensures that each patient will receive the specific and individual care best for the problem that brought them to her. If I could think of how to recommend her more highly, I would.

Most efficient appointment I’ve been to in a long time. Dr Watkins is fantastic and helps me understand my options but keeps things realistic.

Dr Welsh is an amazing physician. She is so knowledgeable with incredible, technical gifts and amazing bed side manner. As another physician in the same field, I can only say it’s an honor to be her patient. Not only is she my doctor, but I refer my patients to her as well for services I don’t have available in my office.
