Have always been well pleased with the care I have received at Sierraderm.

This office way over-schedules patients! Part of the issue is that it’s the only game in a town with a LOT of elderly former sun worshipers. Nevertheless, I’m still in the waiting room 40 minutes after my scheduled appointment. The doc and his assistant don’t have Time to spend with you. Get em in… get em out… yee haw!

Let me start by saying that I have A LOT of moles and that means I have been to many dermatologists in my day… Sierraderm is by far my favorite and Adam Payne is a wonderful, kind, and gentle Physician Assistant. The staff is top notch and every time I have a procedure done by Adam, there are NO surprises. I am well informed of what is going to happen and what to expect after. Never going anywhere else…

I saw Adam Payne for an incredibly painful abscess on my upper left side. Adam was so incredibly nice in explaining what had to be done and warned me of the pain id feel when he numbed the area. He wasn’t lying it hurt like crazy but he was very caring and gentle and was able to take care of everything. Being 5 months pregnant made it even more uncomfortable but he really took his time. I had to go back every couple days for 2 weeks to have it cleaned and repacked and he always made sure to make me aware of what he was doing and did all he could to minimize my pain since pain medication wasn’t an option for me. Such a caring compassionate man. I wish more were like him!!!

what a joke! I waited nearly 50 minutes for literally 2 – 3 minutes with Mr. Adam Payne. Probably the worst experience I had at any«doctor» except he isn’t really a doctor. It was like a training video of everything not to do with a patient. He was the rudest and most insensitive«professional» I’ve met. I got in my car thinking that had to be a joke, it was too horrible to be real life. Never go here my fellow Unilocalers!

Adam Payne is extremely compassionate and confidently explained step by step exactly what needed to be done. I took my 6 year old to him for an allergic reaction to mosquito bites. He’s great with kids and the front desk staff was very accommodating in keeping my kids entertained while we waited. I highly recommend Adam Payne to kids and adults for all their skin care needs!

I saw Adam Payne for an absent in a very sensitive area. He was the most insensitive and abrasive doctor I have ever seen. He didn’t give me any explanation or warning as to the prosecute he was performing and it was excruciatingly painfull!!! I have a very high pain tolerance so for me to be histerrically crying through the whole procedure certainty says something. It was the worst experience I have EVER had at a medical office! In addition the receptionist was extremely rude and in compassionate. I refuse to ever go back there again.

Get with it! The office does not have the capability to send lab results by email, nor can they help when you need to get lab results directly from Quest. They also cannot email a medical release request by email or recieve them by email. I would have to travel to teh office to sign a release and even then, it takes a week to get the results by MAIL!!! Irritating! I visit a dozen doctor’s offices and every one does this basic stuff electronically without hesitation and quickly! They need a serious upgrade to the services they offer. If they are in the dark ages with computer communication, then are they in the dark ages with dermatology? The office staff is less then helpful and they just don’t care. The office visit was less then pleasant too. Adam is nice enough, but his nurse… just rule followers. I am finding a new dermatologist… they certainly don’t make me want to stay.

Waited forever for an appointment. he came in, looked at my skin and said literally. «I don’t know what the hell that is» and walked out. I know Docs only spend a couple of minutes with patients but this was ridiculous. Also, there was a two month wait for an emergency appt. He should stick to Botox.

Dr. Muellenhoff at SierraDerm is a great dermatologist. The code used to quantify the number of moles I have is TNC which means«too numerous to count». I have been to multiple dermatologists throughout the years to keep an eye out for changes in my moles and Dr. Muellenhoff is by far the most competent and reassuring one I’ve seen. His office is beautiful, his staff is friendly and he uses cutting edge technology to keep track of all my little spots. During my regular yearly appointment he recognized that one the moles on my back which is hard for me to see and keep track of had grown by over 50%. They don’t cover my insurance carrier so I am a cash paying customer. Not only do they give me a break on office visits but the staff sent my biopsy to a medical training center so that I wouldn’t need to pay for the extra biopsy fees. The results came back that my mole was atypical and there was a moderate to severe chance of it turning cancerous. The only problem with Dr. Muellenhoff’s office is that everyone in town knows that he’s the best so they are very very busy. Because of my own busy schedule, I was not able to get an appointment with him for the mole removal but they referred me to a fantastic plastic surgeon who did the job perfectly. Feel so glad to be in good hands, catching potential cancer early and being seen by a doctor with a great network of providers who does his job well!
