"First time going to Sonterra Dermatology. I was very pleased with my experience. I saw Dr Malan and he was really great !! Did not make me feel rushed, explained every step of what he was doing and made sure I did not have any further questions or concerns before he left. Had a suspicious spot removed and was told that his office will call either way which I thought was nice. They expected to have the results in 5 days but ended up getting it two days later . Very happy with my experience and would highly recommend."
