As the parent of a young preteen who has struggled with eczema her entire life, finding Dr. McKenzie has been an absolute blessing. After years of frustration with our previous dermatologist, who continuously prescribed stronger steroids or pushed costly, non-covered in-house treatments, we were referred to Dr. McKenzie by our PCP. I had finally reached my limit, feeling helpless in finding real relief for my daughter, whose eczema was not only impacting her daily comfort but beginning to affect her self-confidence as she enters her teen years.
From our very first visit, I knew we had found the right doctor. Dr. McKenzie took the time to truly listen—not just to me, but to my daughter. She made her feel heard, seen, and included in the conversation, which meant the world to us. My daughter left the appointment saying, “I really like her,” which is not something she has ever said about a doctor before.
Dr. McKenzie didn’t just throw prescriptions at us. She thoughtfully explained a care plan, provided us with helpful samples, and even gave us a document outlining best practices and recommended products for managing eczema. It was the first time we felt supported with a holistic and personalized approach.
Our follow-up appointments have been equally reassuring. We now have a clear plan in place, and we’re already seeing improvement, not just in my daughter’s skin, but in her confidence. On top of that, the entire office staff has been kind, attentive, and proactive. When we encountered challenges with insurance coverage for a specific medication, they didn’t leave me to fight the battle alone. They’ve stayed on top of the issue, offering alternative options and keeping me updated every step of the way.
I can’t thank Dr. McKenzie and her team enough. If you’re a parent looking for compassionate, patient-centered dermatological care, especially for a child, I highly recommend Dr. McKenzie.
Dr.McKenzie is an outstanding dermatologist! From the moment you walk in, she makes you feel comfortable with her warm demeanor and bright smile. She is thorough, and takes the time to explain everything clearly. Her attention to detail ensures that nothing is overlooked, and she genuinely cares about her patients. I always leave my appointments feeling confident that I’m in great hands. If you’re looking for a dermatologist who is both professional and personable, I highly recommend Dr. McKenzie
Dr. McKenzie and her staff are amazing. I’ve been in to see her twice so far, but will be back for her to care for my skin. She and her staff are kind, and caring and make sure all my questions are answered. I would highly recommend her.
I had a really nice experience. Dr. McKenzie greeted me with a hand shake and a smile. The entire staff at Golden state Dermatology is well mannered and respectful. They were able to get me an appointment same day! Will definitely do business with them again! Happy Holidays!
Dr. McKenzie is thorough and easy to talk to, always asks if you have questions. Only comment is both my visits seem to go so fast that you kind of think/feel it should be a bit slower. But she definitely always asks if you have anything else you want to know or to be checked. The first visit I forgot to ask something due to the speed of the appointment. But overall seems to be a very good doctor.
