“Came in for a consultation for Mohs surgery with Dr Elis I was very pleased with how pleasant he was and how well he explained the surgery His staff was very helpful I would recommend him”
“Had MOHS surgery here and the service and professionalism were both top notch. Their offices are clean and modern and the team is friendly. Would recommend for any dermatology service.”
Skin Exams & Screening
“I'll start by saying the ladies at the front desk were absolutely wonderful, warm & friendly. I was suppose to get a full body check but didn't instead I was asked about what I came in for. I felt a little rushed. I didn't see the Dr it was the PA. I did have more things to show her but it seemed she was in a rush so I didn't bother. I was a little disappointed but we'll see the next time.”
“Had full body check .. so.e freezing, some re.oval, but a year ago they found and removed Squamish cell on my chest .. so thank you everyone”
“Can Frisken check a yearly annual skin check and she was very thorough and took some biopsies and I was very happy with her”
Pediatric & Family Care
“I am so happy that my daughter recommended Belaray Dermatology.My first visit was with Alison and she was so sweet but very professional and extremely thorough. She found a small basal cell carcinoma that I had removed shortly after by Dr. Wong who was also amazing! Such a skilled surgeon and he made me feel relaxed and comfortable throughout the procedure. I just wish I could remember everyone's names who helped during my visits and my husbands because they all deserve thanks too for their pleasant and professional hospitality. My husband had different diagnoses of course but he had the same positive experience as me. My husband, Michael, has already recommended your practice to his nurse from his allergist's office. We will always recommend Belaray to our family and friends.”
“Efficient and well-runned office. So glad I chose this office for my daughter's needs. Very pleased with the care, the ease of scheduling of appointments and treatment options.”
“They were amazing. My son didn’t have an appointment today July 2, 2024 and was in July 9th. The staff didn’t send him away. They fit him in and was able to make him feel better. I was so impressed how professional they were and how he was treated during his office visit.”
Everyday Dermatology
“Dr Anthony Wong is excellent. He has done many biopsies, Skin cancer and Mohs Surgeries in me. He is compassionate and caring. He is one of the best Drs I have ever seen. I highly recommend him.”
“Reached out to office early this morning, via text, received immediate response and was able to get an appointment before lunch. They understood my concern and made it their business to get me in same day! Staff was friendly, Doc was patient, listened to my story/concerns and made me feel at ease. Now I'm just waiting on results of a biopsy.”
“(Translated by Google) Highly professional and highly recommended. They helped me with a psoriasis problem, and I'm very happy with the treatment they gave me. (Original) Muy profesionales totalmente recomendados , me ayudaron con un problema de psoriasis, estoy muy feliz con el tratamiento que me dieron”
Cosmetic & Laser
“I've been a patient of Dr Ellis since 2010 and he's never steered me wrong. I love that he always employs a conservative approach, and is very straight forward and honest. He'll tell you what treatments to do, and when, so as to get the most "bang for your buck". I had a wonderful experience with him performing profractional laser (Feb 2022) to smooth out my acne scars and fade darkened skin patches after pregnancy. It was the best money I've ever spent and I'm honestly excited to repeat the procedure to completely smooth out the deeper acne scars (although the improvement from the first session was amazing). I always recommend Belaray to my family and friends.”
