Affiliated Dermatology - North Scottsdale
Our Take
Affiliated Dermatology's North Scottsdale office reads, across more than a thousand reviews, as the rare large dermatology group that still feels personal: patients single out providers and aestheticians by name and praise how thoroughly they explain things, answer questions, and deliver gentle, natural-looking aesthetic results. Reviewers also note appointments that actually start on time and run efficiently, which is no small thing for a practice this size. The trade-off, as is typical for a multi-location group, is that the friction tends to surface around billing/insurance and front-desk scheduling rather than the care itself; that complaint pattern is only lightly documented in the reviews we saw, so weigh it as a possibility rather than a verdict, and as always, individual results and experiences vary.

My experience with Affiliated Dermatology in the North Scottsdale office was very pleasant. I’m not fond of going to doctors… But the friendly front desk welcomed me and made the beginning consents on an iPad easy… The medical assistant was very warm and friendly and professional… And on time. Then, when Dr. Tristan Simon, came in, she took the time to listen to what I needed… She was caring, friendly, professional… And knew her stuff… Dr. Simon, with a doctor you can trust… She made me feel seen and heard and took care of a couple of concerns with great skill. I walked away, feeling cared for and happy and relaxed.
I am incredibly disappointed with my experience here. What started as a great first Botox treatment quickly went downhill due to poor communication and scheduling errors. My first treatment wore off early, so I tried to schedule a follow-up. Upon arriving, I was told it was too early for another round. No one had informed me at my initial appointment that I had to wait three months. This was frustrating, especially given my 20-mile commute from South Phoenix to North Scottsdale. My specialist, Morgan, had her front desk staff reschedule me. However, when I showed up for that next appointment, I wasn't even on the schedule, and Morgan was out of the office for the week. Later, I called to confirm a separate July appointment with the doctor, only to find out that appointment didn't exist either. Losing two separate appointments and failing to provide basic follow-up information is completely unacceptable. While the clinical staff might be skilled, the customer service, only having one person to administer botox (for all locations), and administrative organization are severely lacking. I will be taking my business elsewhere.
Team Trista and Ashley again far exceeded my expectations. I had the first of three "deeper" digs on some questionable moles that I have. Everything explained so well, and I still can hardly feel I had such a procedure done to me. Punctual, professional, knowledgeable, and gentle and kind, excellent bedside manner. I couldn't be more blessed and grateful. Thank you, Trista and Ashley. You both are a great combo, you both do great work! One down, two to go!!! Daniel C. Scottsdale
Nurse Practitioner Alexia L was very attentive, straightforward, and compassionate. I can't remember her partner in crimes name but she was very kind and just as attentive. Also a shout-out to the two gentlemen up front. Much appreciation to everyone 👍
I’ve been coming for more than 3 years and each appointment is better than the prior. Front desk team members are kind and friendly. Dr Lal is just incredible and accommodating- takes time to listen and understand my concerns. I’m a middle age woman who is trying to slow aging and make small steps forward. The staff is great, and so is the atmosphere, the views, the knowledge and the one on one care. There are no words to describe how amazing I feel when I leave an appointment with Dr Lal Highly, highly recommend 10/10
