Reviews of Nakatsui DermaSurgery Centre (Doctor)

Shahin Moghaddasi Sarabi

Last january I spent almost 1400$ in this clinic which was a total waste. Not happy with the botox and gell injection at all. The botox made my eyelids droop like a dropped layer formed beneath my eyebrows. The jell injection made my face look asymmetrical. I don't recommend this clinic to nobody.

Really professional service.

Georgette L'Hirondelle

I have confidence in the expertise and experience of all the staff. They are professional, and personable. That combination equates to 100% satisfaction for me.

I saw dr.groot for acne concerns and he took out a tiny scapul and as he was looking at my face he cut on the surface of the left side of my face to see what was undernieth my skin. I had no idea what was going on and he didnt tell before hand what he was going to do. I have a permenant scare on my face from his assult in his examination room. He is unpredictable and I will never see a male dermatoligist because of the trama of dr.groot

I don't even know where to start; I have so many good things to say about Dr. Nakatsui's team. First off, they made it very comfortable and like a day at the spa. Literally the only bad part about the surgery was that I didn't get to finish my 2nd movie LOL. The recovery process was short and I had a full hairline again by month 5. Dr. Nakatsui's crew restored my self confidence and changed my life, as cliche as that sounds. I will be going back in a year or 2 to get my crown done. Thanks guys!

SO. My story is that I wanted to get several under eye veins removed.(the big kind that are blue and green and make me look sick all the time ahhh) so I went for a consultation at Groot. I had a previous consult somewhere else but wanted a second opinion because vein treatment near the eyes is no joke. The girls at the front desk and the nurses before the actual dermatologist coming into the office were so pleasant and gave me a realistic idea of what to expect (the procedure works but I’m most likely going to experience swelling. Understandable!) I was prepared to do the procedure that day if all went well, might I add. When the dermatologist came in he looked at me for two seconds, said I’m a suitable candidate and then asked if I had any questions. I asked him about swelling and he said I shouldn’t experience any....??? Pardon. Then he told me that the charge is $800 dollars. Pardon?? I previously got quoted $200 at another derm office. Obviously I didn’t go ahead with it. Decided to go to Rao Dermatology instead. They did an incredible job my veins are gone I’m soooo happy, and it was $200. I felt more comfortable with them..I don’t know. Maybe my intuition kicked in but I didn’t feel confident in the Groot place at all and those prices are ridiculous come on. Anyways. I’ve been putting off doing this review until I had the procedure done at Rao. Sure enough I’m too swollen to go to work(not too sure why Dr.N at Groot told me I wouldn’t be) but my point is always get a second opinion don’t just go to one office and think they’re the be all end all.

Amazing

I am giving Dr. Nakatsui's office three stars. Dr. Nakatsui has wonderful bedside manners, and is kind, caring, and professional. Likewise for all of his staff. However, I am disappointed with the results of a laser procedure that was performed by him recently. I visited Dr. Nakatsui's office to treat remnants of a port-wine stain. I expected it would be a routine procedure as I had previously been treated by his old partner. Bruising after this procedure typically lasts 10-14 days. After 6 weeks, some of my bruising still has not resolved. Concerned, I paid another visit to his office. Dr. Nakatsui told me that the bruising likely has not healed because the treatment he used was probably too aggressive. I was rather upset by this because I expect that dermatologists would have a good idea of how to adjust the laser powers to suit each patient's individual case/skin. Now my face is botched, and I have no idea when/if it will heal. I would recommend Dr. Nakatsui for a different procedure as I believe that he and his staff care about patient well-being. Additionally, it looks like other people have had good results from his treatments. However, if you are being treated for a port wine stain, I would go elsewhere.

I wanted a facial mole removed and decided to go with Groot DermaSurgery. Everything about the experience was wonderful, and I got exactly what I wanted. Very professional.

Kerri F

"I had a wonderful experience. Everyone is very friendly. It’s a very nice and positive atmosphere at the clinic. Dr. Nakatsui is a wonderful Dr. He is very informative, friendly, and easy going. He always has my best interests in mind."

ash

I been to Nakatsui DermaSurgery Centre for hair removal & I had extremely peeling skin on my hands and feet, Dr N is very friendly and knowledgeable. The staff is great! Would highly recommend.

Gisele Daigle

I've been going to the Groot DermaSurgery Center since I got diagnosed with melanoma over five years ago. I can't say enough about the level of care I've received from Dr Nakatsui and his team. Everybody is always so friendly and professional. I've never felt rushed and Dr Nakatsui and his team always take the time to explain everything in a clean manner.

Elizabeth Marinescu

Excellent experience every time. Would not recommend any other place. Dr. Nakatsui is very professional and takes his time to listen to the concerns. Wonderful.

Marcus Hunke

Was just told over the phone that a 3-5 minute procedure (botox injection in both underarms) would cost $300 (uninsurable). At other dermatologists it is $150. Stay far away from this place. EDIT/RESPONSE: I have had this procedure done over a dozen times, and it is painful. But numbing cream should not be required. Furthermore, if numbing cream were applied, actual time spent with the patient would not exceed 15 minutes. And an assistant would apply the cream. You're charging $1200 per hour for this! That is insane (even by dermatologist standards). This fee is typically 100% out of pocket, are you not aware of that?

Valéry Goulet

When my dermatologist retired, I was worried I wouldn't be able to find a clinic that would deliver the same great services. I have been visiting another clinic prior to Nakatsui DermaSurgery and despite the great web reviews, I was really disappointed. Then, I researched some more and found Dr. Nakatsui's clinic. I am so pleased I was able to discover this clinic as if I would have known, I would have gone there the very first time. First off, the clinic is really well organized and offers a great range of services. All the staff I have been interacting with during my first three visits are all friendly, attentive and knowledgeable. Dr. Nakatsui is also great and works really well. He seems to have a conservative approach which I quite like. I have been visiting the clinic to treat rosacea and have some unwanted moles removed. I will definitely recommend this clinic to whoever is looking for advice and treatment.

Outstanding, knowledgeable staff. Professional and pleasant.

Petlane Grooming

I have seeing this doc for years but my last botox was blotched and blotched good , he did a terrible job and left a scar that’s a year now. I will never go back nor will I recommend this quack watch out for the great people there a nice building and all but the job to my face is a total disgrace.

NikitaSolaya

Horrible front desk service. Had one treatment done there, considered it to be a good so I thought I would call in and inquire about services I read about on their website. Due to my horrible experience on the phone with them I will no longer be visiting for any future treatments. Was spoken to like I was an idiot.

Robert Whelan

Nothing but good things to say about Dr. Nakatsui and his team. Excellent results with all the treatments I have received, from something as simple as a topical cream to his precise skills with lasers. The entire team is there to make you feel at ease and answer all your questions. Everyone is extremely knowledgeable and professional. A great experience, I highly recommend Nakatsui DermaSurgery.

sasha beck

My experience at this office was great! , I couldn’t of asked for better. Really glad I was referred to this doctor. His staff was also very friendly, organized and helpful. The results were better then great too! - Thank you!

Corinne Sawarin

It was a fantastic experience. I met with Andrea for my consultation and we were joined later by Dr Nakatsui. All of my questions were answered in detail and I was provided with materials to review at home. I felt comfortable and reassured through the entire experience and would not hesitate to have procedures performed in this clinic.

Rupi Maan

I have met Dr Nakatsui on a number of occasions and he is very genuine, he cares about all his patients, and wants the best for them. All the staff is so pleasant and easy to deal with.

Theresa Cherrington

Great doctor, great staff; very friendly and accommodating and great services!

Jackie Jouan

Very professional. This was my first time getting a mole removed and they were very understanding, kind, and knowledgable with the whole process. Thank you!

Leia Ornit Zaif

Great stuff! Dr. Nakatsui is amazing, very polite paciant and a good listener! Will be back there again soon

Sarah Womacks

They made me feel comforted, safe, relieved. Super friendly too!

Rhea March

Dr. Nakatsui and his staff are ultra-professional and always helpful in addressing questions and concerns pertaining to health and dermatology.

Charlene Chia

Only professional, safe and great care when we are in the hands of Dr. Nakatsui and his team! During our last visit, we really appreciated the covid 19 protocol that were in place to make us feel safe during our appointment. Dr.Nakatsui takes his time to listen to your concerns and is thorough on his assessments. For example, my husband had a bump on his chest that had been misdiagnosed several times by other doctors. Dr.Nakatsui took a biopsy and sent out a referral to have the bump remove. We learnt that the bump was indeed a cancerous fibrosarcoma. Thanks to Dr N my husband was able to seek treatment early and in my opinion this saved his life! Hands down the best dermatologist and nurses!!!

BAIRRO 124

10/10 Dr. Nakatsui and his staff are extremely professional and put you at easy right away. The quality of their work is top shelf. This is definitely a clinic where you get what you pay for.

Priya Sandhu

My experience at this office and with Dr. Linda was great! She is super helpful with answering your questions and concerns and providing solutions!

Melvin Clarke

i had the procedure done it was quick and efficent however booking a followup apt was a nightmare...whenever i asked the receptioonist told me they were full for six months and i should come back. i tried and again was told they were booked up. but waiting in line they booked 2 people for the next day.. i suppose once they have your money you have a hard time getting in. even though the followup would probably take 10 to 15 m in. sad

Heather Hughes

I have been a patient of Dr. Nakatsui's for well over ten years and have always been very pleased with my treatments, results and leave feeling like I received good value for my money. The staff members are all very welcoming and friendly and efficient, and I trust whatever advice they give me. Some places I have been to in the past have pushed me to consider other services in order to do nothing more than build their business, but no one here ever does that. If you want more information on something, they are happy to provide it but never pressure you to do anything you don't want to do. I plan to be with Dr. Nakatsui for many years to come!

T LP

The staff are wonderful, helpful and pleasant. Dr. Nakatsui is thorough and pleasant.

Ashley P

I had the pleasure of getting my procedure done by Dr. Nakatsui. There was a schedule mix up and not enough time was booked, however, the doctor still did my juvaderm injections. I was extremely happy he accommodated me and the results were even better. I have had my lips done at other clinics and I personally think that Dr. Nakatsui has done the best job. I highly recommend this clinic!

Milana Bochinski

Both the staff and Dr. Nakatsui made my first experience very comfortable and I was very happy with my treatment! Thank you!

Giselle Denis

I’ve had a bad case of rosacea since I was a teenager that only got worse as I got older. After only 2 days of taking Dr.Smith’s recommended prescription my skin cleared up in 2 days. My skin looks amazing & I am so thrilled with the results. I highly recommend Dr. Smith at this clinic who thoroughly went through a few options for my sensitive system. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

CK

I was referred by a coworker to this clinic to look at a mole on my left cheek. They have poor customer service. I waited for almost two months for them to contact me. They said they called me on April 9, 2021 and left a message which they did not. They also did not bother to follow up since then. I wanted to have the mole removed by June because I am going to a wedding and if they followed up like they should have then the procedure could have been done and over with by now. THANKS FOR NOTHING!!!! I AM NOT IMPRESSED WITH THEM WHILE I WAIT FOR A NEW REFERRAL!!!!!!

Hope Hatherly

Friendly, helpful staff make you feel comfortable and at ease. Well informed nurses. No hard sell on any procedures. Thank you

C M

I went to the office today and had a wonderful experience. From the receptionist, nurses and Dr. Groot himself, everyone was pleasant in good spirits and explained everything thouroughly. They took time to let me ask and most importantly answer all of my questions. I had to have one of my kids with me (5 months old) and they were incredibly accommodating, even bringing in someone to hold my son IF he got cranky during the procedure! If your looking for a dermatologist this is the place to go!

G User

I don't recommend Dr Don Groot if you're looking to get laser surgery. I went to see him expecting good results, especially with his caliber and background, but what I got were poor results. After giving sufficient time to heal following post-op, I'm not happy with how my face looks now since he performed the procedures. I've never experienced such incompetence and arrogance from a doctor when I asked him for an explanation. He rushes and does a poor job, takes your money, and is patronizing and dismissive when you bring up valid concerns to him. I recommend doing the research and getting other opinions from other doctors before going ahead with any major laser surgery with Dr Groot. He ruined my face and now I have to live with the permanent botched job he created. I should've left my face alone in the first place since it was fine in the beginning. I thought I can improve my appearance, but in the end Dr Groot made it 100 times worse.

Hailey Schwabe

My experience was really good. Dr. Nakatsui is very professional and knows a lot about the different stages of skin care and cosmetic procedures. I really felt like I was getting a custom solution for my skin. Would recommend it!

Jon Riley

What a shock, another money-hungry Dermatologist :/

Lydia Toth

I went in for laser hair removal. I never recieved a consult by the Doctor. 6 sessions in I started complaining that it wasn't working and none of the nurses took me seriously. They told me they were increasing the intensity but I could see my chart and that was not the case. I finally demanded to see the doctor and when he did meet with me it was clear he never reviewed my chart once and he never even looked at the area that was being treated. I spent thousands of dollars on hair removal and it was a complete waste. I would never recomend this clinic. I have been telling everyone my story. Go where they actually care about the results.

hendrik kiliaan

Highly professional, efficient and well trained staff. Can eat from the floors, super clean. No negative experience at all.

patricia janvier

Excellent service

Catherine Cheung

The highest level of skill and professionalism from a board certified dermatologist. I would recommend Dr. Nakatsui and his team to anyone looking for an experienced doctor and trusted clinic.

Doug Nikolic

I have been seeing Dr Nakatsui for quite a few years now. It is such a pleasure visiting the office, everyone from the Dr to all of the staff are so pleasant and accommodating. Dr Nakatsui is extremely competent and knowledgeable and always answers all of my questions. I definitely recommend him for all your dermatological concerns.

Tricia Stang

Excellent staff very knowledgeable and friendly. I had 7 moles removed and they were very efficient and caring. I would highly recommend Nakatsui Derma Surgury.

Tamara Matthews

Had a great experience with Dr. Nakatsui and one of his nurses. They went through all the alternatives and options in detail and were never pushy. Plus, they never pushed their own creams on me, which is what I experienced at the last dermatologist's office I went to. In addition, the results I got were by far the best results I have had so far and on top of everything else, Dr. Nakatsui was very personable,

Sarah Gettel

I always feel comfortable and well taken care of at Nakatsui DermaSurgery. Their office is also very clean; everyone is very friendly.

chris ma

Dr Nakataui is extremely professional, him and his team make my experience very pleasant, his clinic is very clean, highly recommend this place.

Mataia Wong

THE BEST! Dr.Nakatsui helped me with MANY skin related issues and I’m always happy with the outcome! He recommended and prescribed me with products that helped get rid of my acne and treat my dry skin/sudden eczema... Not only that, he is excellent at removing blemishes. Within 2 weeks he was able to remove an unwanted angioma that resided on a sensitive area of my face. 10/10 would recommend! ????????

Al McCully

Dr. Nakatsui and his staff are very professional, receptive, readily accessible and friendly.

R Keggs

I have been going to this clinic for services over 10 years now! Excellent service, patient care, and so friendly! I live in another province now and still make the trip to come back to this clinic. Highly recommended.

Jessica Traves

Very happy with the results from my latest treatments. Dr. Nakatsui and his nurse explained my options to me in detail, and I decided to receive a combination of Botox, Voluma and HydraFacial treatments. The results have been great and I found Dr. N to be very friendly and personable. I will be back!

I Lo

I just had procedure done yesterday with Dr. Nakatsui and his nurse Tammy. Dr. Nakatsui nerve block is amazing, really reduce the pain to very tolerable in such a bigger procedure. Tammy is very good informing and explaining every step of the way; makes the process much more pleasant than otherwise. I highly recommend them both.

Adam Morrison

Had a transplant with Dr. Nakatsui in 2014 and was exceptionally pleased with both the procedure and results. Both Dr. Nakatsui and Kelvin (who was my main point of contact more often than not) were a great help in answering questions and concerns. Procedure was good, professional and as pleasant as you can expect for a whole day surgical procedure (it is a long process). My healing was overall pretty good with only minor bumping and irregularity at the donor site. The recipient site turned out great. Healing process obviously takes some time, but the results have been fantastic. Highly recommended.

Mary Lou Lee

I’ve always had a positive experience at the Nakatsui DermaSurgery Centre. Staff are efficient, polite and accommodating always striving to keep appointments running smoothly. There is an air of respect not only for patients but also between staff members. I’ve always felt they listened to my concerns and addressed issues promptly. I highly recommend Dr Nakatsui and his team.

Cielo S

My friend suggested this facility because I asked her what she was doing for her skin and she highly recommended this place. I now recommend it to all my friends because I have been so happy with my results. Dr. Nakatsui is an expert in the use of Botox and fillers, and I really appreciate his skill. Not only that, I appreciate his honesty regarding whether or not I need anything. There have been a few times where he has let me know that I don't need anything and to wait. Everyone here is so knowledgeable and helpful. I would recommend this place to anyone!

Eugene Rofvarg

Excellent experience, very professional team, exceptional customer service. I highly recommend this clinic.

Abigail Campbell

Nice centre. Friendly staff and doctor.

Martin Donovan

Does anyone answer the phone there?

Christina

I had Picowave treatment recently and have found incredible results even after 1 treatment! My skin appeared brighter and my brown spots diminished significantly, observable after 1 week. Staff were friendly, courteous and professional! Dr. Thomas Nakatsui was exceptional. He was thorough in his treatment and he took the time to explain the procedure to me. I highly recommend this place.

DUEY Hume

UNBELIEVABLE experience! This is how service should be, everywhere! Honestly, I can’t say enough, the staff was amazing. From the consult to the procedure, everything went smooth. I was quite nervous even booking in, but they were so knowledgeable, professional and personable that they put me at ease right away. Even though I was 30min late for my appointment, they called to confirm and when I asked if I should reschedule they politely said, we can fit you in when you get here. And they never tried to rush me out either. Wow! Thank You! I would recommend Dr Nakatsui and his clinic to anyone!

Lawrence Marchuk

Dr. Nakatsui and his staff are always friendly, extremely helpful and knowledgeable. My interaction with the front desk and nurses has always been positive. I highly recommend going to see Dr. Nakatsui.

Kourtney Czerski

Dr. Smith is awesome and knowledgeable!

Chloe L

I was referred to Dr. Nakatsui by my ophthalmologist Dr. Chan. I am so happy she referred me there for my Botox. I had a fantastic result and I also had some fillers to my chin crease and nose, which turned out fantastic as well. I was a bit anxious as I had never had treatment in these two areas before but the doctor walked me through it and it ended up looking fabulous! I never thought these two areas were so aging for me. In addition to being the best injector I have been to, he and his nurses were so fun. I would highly recommend.

Glori Meldrum

Dr Nakatsui and his staff are amazing. They really care about their clients

Tyson Montanna

Lame place.

Raheema Khan

Very positive experience, the nurse was so helpful and kind. The clinic was so beautiful, and the doctor was very helpful, and intelligent.

pam wellings

What a fabulous place, a very professional facility with amazing staff. I love the “feel good” experience. So for anyone considering a cosmetic procedure I highly recommend that you check them out.

Andrea Taylor

This center is a caring, compassionate and fabulous place to go! Dr.Nakatsui, Dr.Schloss and Dr.Smith genuinely care about their clients. The support staff are exceptional and very educated! The admin staff always have a smile on their faces and do whatever they can to help! Number one derm clinic hands down!

Catarina Campos

Dr Nakatsui, is very knowledgeable and skilled. He is very kind and takes time to answer all questions. Staff are pleasant and helpful.

Maureen de Groot

I have been using this clinic for many years as I have had some trouble with skin cancer. I am always treated extremely well. I am always made to feel important, at ease and extremely welcomed. They are professional and friendly from beginning to end.

Jim Lukas

I have nothing but good things to say about Dr. Nakatsui and his staff. He is professional yet approachable and friendly. His knowledge has helped me with certain issues I have had with my skin. I have also had cosmetic treatments from Dr. Nakatsui and he has really helped remove the veil of shame that is surrounded by male cosmetic procedures. Thank you Dr. Nakatsui and your incredible staff for assisting me throughout the years. JL

C Chow

I have been a patient at the Nakatsui Dermasurgery Centre for over 11years. What I love most about the clinic is the professionalism, expertise, and sincerity of all of the staff. I always feel like I am in competent hands. Dr. Nakatsui and his team have been so helpful in customizing my skin-care needs over the years. The clinic itself is also very clean. I appreciate the measures they have taken to ensure patients feel safe during Covid-19. They really do go above and beyond with patient care and safety! I highly recommend this clinic, and will continue to be a long-term patient!

Adam Najjar

I've visited Dr. Nakatsui multiple times and every time the service is top notch. Him and all his staff are super professional from the moment you walk in. Everyone always has a smile on and ready to help. Thanks and Keep up the great work!!

brian callinan

Friendly, Clean, informative. Didn't have to wait months like a lot of other dermatology clinics. Impressed.

Lori Turner

Thanks for reaching out and addressing my initial concerns. I had the best experience today when I returned to the clinic and I was impressed with the level of service I received. Dr. Nakatsui and his nurse were terrific and I enjoyed learning more about the options that the clinic can provide for future treatment plans. Very informative, well explained and caring.

Zetetic Bear

I have had moles removed on 2 occasions. First time was a couple of years ago and I cant remember the doctors name, it was a mole on my face and I was worried because it is my face and any error would be seen by everyone. The procedure was good and I felt very comfortable during it. The results were very very good. I am very pleased with the results. Then about a month ago I had Dr. Nakatsui remove 11 moles from my body including one on my nose and one on my head. Once again the entire experience was good. It's not a "fun" thing to have freezing injected and moles cut off and then laser treatment afterwards. But Dr. Nakatsui really makes you feel at ease, and his nurse staff are very cheerful and pleasant too. The entire experience was really positive. The results were really good, especially on my face I was very happy with the outcome.

Jen McBain

I always have a great experience when I visit their office for any treatments. Every staff member is professional, polite, and always VERY helpful. I would never go anywhere else.

Sandra Monica Villanueva

Dr Nakatsui is just an honest ,knowledgeable, professional, laid back and polite Dr who puts your worries at ease . He has been treating keloid scars on my back and chest for years . He had a kind disposition and he is ama ing . I feel very good and safe having this wonderful Dermatologist by my side! It’s also amazing how Dr Nakatsui has no wrinkles at all ! I envy his skin!!

John Samson

Every employee that works in this clinic are all awesome they giving each customer a great customer service. The nurse gave me a very good advice about the procedure on my upcoming surgery she’s really very knowledgable and professional. Dr. Nakatsui did the final assessment and explained everything about the surgery for my ear which is great, I have an idea now and I feel comfortable. Thanks and keep up the good work guys.

Helga Lair

My first experience was great. Friendly reception, the wait wasn’t too long. They knew I needed to see someone fairly quick and they did everything they could to get me an appointment sooner than later. When I had questions, they took the time to answer all of them and didn’t make me feel like I was holding them up. I will go back for sure.

Wavey E

Always a comfortable and professional experience at Dr Nakatsui’s office. They take their time to ensure they understand your individual needs and offer the best solutions they can and perform treatments with precision. Definitely recommended!

Harry Lent

My appointment with Dr. Nakatsui was a great experience. I was first spoken to by one of the clinics nurses and she went through all the options that were available to me for my condition. I was then visited by Dr. Nakatsui and he also went through all treatment options. I never felt rushed and all my questions were answered in a very thorough manner. I would highly recommend this clinic.

Hideki Matsuda

I contacted Groot DermaSurgery Centre via Yelp on August 1st requesting to book an appointment. I received an email from Melanie asking for more information before booking an appointment. I replied providing a phone number and hours that I would be able to answer calls. I waited 19 days and sent out an email asking for a reply regarding booking an appointment. Melanie followed up with a reply instructing Cassandra who their patient coordinator to call that day - I received no such call or voice message. I received an appointment reminder 9 days later about an appointment I haven’t spoken to anyone or agreed to, they just unilaterally booked it. 'Some' procedures, a $50 fee may apply for any missed or late cancellations. It's September 11th, it took me 42 days to speak with someone. I finally spoke with Cassandra, their patient coordinator, who reluctantly apologized. They have no respect for other people's time. Look elsewhere that is able to promptly and effectively respond to questions, concerns and most importantly, your time/money.

Colleen Cust

My experience was pleasant and informative. I felt a bit of a sell job as the most expensive procedures were talked about first. I asked about the face cream that is promoted on the website and not sure I would have been told about it unless I had asked. Once informed about the cream, there was absolutely no pressure to change my mind and go with one of the talked about procedures, this I appreciated.

Perry Wong

My experience at the Nakatsui Dermasurgery has been great. I went in for a hair transplant consult. I spoke with Dr. Nakatsui’s assistant, Kelvin, and found him very knowledgeable about all aspects of hair loss and hair transplant surgery. When first meeting with Kelvin you will find that he is in fact bald himself. He was very upfront with me and told me that hair transplants are all a matter of candidacy and supply and demand and that not everyone is a good candidate, like himself. I appreciated his honesty. He made me feel comfortable when discussing this personally sensitive issue. Dr. Nakatsui must be confident in his results if he has a bald guy providing all of the consultations. After speaking with Kelvin for a good hour about various aspects of hair transplants and seeing almost 100 before and after photos, I spoke with Dr. Nakatsui himself. Dr. Nakatsui assessed my situation and took a thorough history and, ultimately, at the end of the consultation he suggested that because of my younger age and the risk of future genetic hair loss, I should trial a medication like rogaine or propecia for about a year and see if the medication can slow down the hair loss and to ensure that I do not have any side effects. If the medications work then we can consider a hair transplant! I appreciated that and I’m so very thankful that he did not push me into a surgery like other doctors I spoke with. If all goes well and the medications help, I will be going with Dr. Nakatsui in a years time.

Francine Lennox

I have been going to The Groot dermatology clinic since 2012 and have been going to Dr Nakatsui since 2015, always pleased with the results. Great staff!!

Teresa A.

If you are a person of colour I recommend that you stay away from this clinic. They have little knowledge and confidence when treating a person of colour and lack of experience relating to hyperpigmentation. If they recommend you their Dr. Groots #3 cream, I suggest you find another dermatologist. They only want to sell their products to you and have you bound to continuously lighten up your darks spots to eventually your whole face (which makes them more money). The nurses and Dr. Nakatsui will have completely different answers to the same questions. Again, showing that they are not on the same page and lack of certainty. Consultations seems to be rushed, especially if you look like you are not a middle aged caucasian person looking to drop money on botox etc. My only regret as a POC is that I did not go to a dermatologist that is confident and educated in hyperpigmentation and other POC skin concerns.

Kevin Lowrie

Amazing staff and great knowledge

Pauline Whyte

A wonderful surgery with great employees, always make you feel welcome and their services are exceptional.

Mildred Klassen

I'm a long-time patient/client with Dr. Nakatsui and his amazing team and can say every visit is a pleasure. They are a very professional team of men and women who go over and above to ensure I have a positive experience and get the best treatment. Highly recommended!

David Wegner

Great Physician committed to patient satisfaction.

Myrna Ellison

The staff explain everything fully. Both Dr. Nakatsui and the nurses show empathy for the pain the patient has to go through and are as gentle and quick as possible.

Andrea Jomha

I've been seeing Dr.Smith and she is wonderful! She truly cares about her patients and is so informative. I was having some issues with the medication she prescribed me and she called me back personally that very same day to make sure all was well. She also took it upon herself to call me a few days later to make sure I was doing ok. I absolutely recommend her as a dermatologist- if I could give her more than 5 stars I would!

Sharon Gascon

I need to let you know, how impressed I am with This office! I have never felt so safe anywhere with COVID! There protocols, Dr’s and staff are number 1. Thank you again for everything you all do!

Urszula Gowin

Dr Nakatsui is very good in his profession and his great personality is a bonus. I also appreciate his honesty in his recommendations in what is or is not necessary.

Heather Yvette

Although Dr Groot is currently on a leave of absence, the clinic is still being run by his partner and the awesome support staff. I was a patient last August for an unrelated procedure, and decided to try them out a couple weeks ago to take care of some fairly severe veins on and around my nose. After a quick look from the Dr on duty, one of nurses performed a 10 minute procedure with the V-beam laser. It DID hurt quite a bit (sensitive area!), but it was so worth it. I paid in advance for three procedures, as I am guaranteed to need follow-up treatments. So far I am thrilled with the results. The veins were reduced by about 80% right off the bat. There were no marks or bruising left behind, and certainly no ridges or scars. I go back for the second treatment soon, but I'm not sure I will need the third. The nurse was fantastic and reassuring, and very informative. I went in with my eyes wide open, but thankfully I am experiencing the best case scenario. I cannot describe what a relief it is to no longer feel self conscious about my nose, and to no longer feel the need to touch up my makeup whenever I go out. Yay!!

I would highly recommend Nakatsui DermaSurgery to anyone looking for a dermatologist. The clinic is spotless, staff are friendly and professional, and Dr Nakatsui is super knowledgeable and skilled. He always takes the time to explain procedures and options, and always follows up. I live in a different city now, and will always drive or fly back to Edmonton to see Dr Nakatsui. The best of the best!

My experience was awesome! I was seen very quickly and the nurses were very good at explaining the procedure I would have done as well as Dr. Nakatsui. The treatment was done and I was thoroughly explained how to care for my incision. I would definitely recommend this clinic for any dermatology needs you may have! Great experience!

Tried Picoway for the very first time. I have sensitive skin and Dr. Nakatsui took a look at my face, let me know what options would be best suited and addressed any concerns that I had. I felt vey comfortable during my entire procedure. The service was extremely professional and thorough. The staff at Nakatsui Dermasurgery are all very friendly and knowledgeable. The environment is very clean, comfortable and welcoming. I highly recommend anyone with skin concerns to visit this place. Personally, I think it’s the best in the city!

Staff was extremely friendly and informative about the treatment I was going to receive. Dr. Nakatsui is amazing and worth the trip into the city!

Dr Groot did terrible work. He rushes in & out, doesn't take time to explain, but will definitely Take your money & upsell you too! Dr Nakatsui is trying to clean up his mess with little success. Seems all he's worried about is taking the money too. NO follow up at all by either of these doctors. Would not recommend this clinic.

Best cosmetic Dermatology place with incredible reputation in Edmonton by far. Staffed with fully licensed and experienced practitioners that meet and exceed my high expectations during each and every visit!

It's always great. They're extremely professional, but approachable. Nice combo. Also, I'm consistently happy with the results. They all know their stuff, and bonus: I never have to sit long in the waiting room. I appreciate that they're still practicing stringent Covid safety protocols even after mandatory guidelines have been relaxed in Alberta. Lovely, calming, safe place to visit.

This is my true statement for Dr. Nakatsui. And it’s a long one! A knowledgeable professional, honourable, kind, with unparalleled work ethic, always positive, not greedy, compassionate and so much more. But before all that he is a wonderful Human Being. And all these genuine qualities that he has as a person, professionally reflect on the team that is his clinic. The receptionists: are always smiling, always trying to solve and accommodate the client's interests, if the phone call goes to voicemail, they call on the same day, time or, the next day. Always professional, kind, friendly, polite and attentive. They are the best front of the clinic. Nurses: they have all the qualities of the reception ladies plus the knowledge, the interaction with the client. I know almost all nurses and I can easily say that they are all extremely professional, kind, polite, helpful they have a deep knowledge of what they will suggest to the client in relation to the cosmetic procedure or any matter. And this is very important: nurses don’t receive a “commission” when the client decides to have a treatment. By the own words of a nurse from Dr. Nakatsui “they have a more holistic approach to beauty“. Because they don’t need to sell nothing. They attitude towards beauty, they approach to us and the results make us to come back again and again. Like me for Redensity (just an example) this procedure change my life. When I said to Dr. Nakatsui he laughed. And I was so surprised in see him genuine laughed about it, I only saw before very stressful or “could care less” doctors. Before I met Dr. Nakatsui I went to doctors who are respected professionals, please don't get me wrong, but I was just another “one” on today's list. The first question was: what is your budget for today? I had no idea what was applied to my face because nothing was explained to me and the name of the procedure was “clinic name” . The receipt did not explain anything and the total price, for the same service as dr. Nakatsui does I paid 60% or way more. I understand that everyone has to earn money in their profession and Dr. Nakatsui is not a charity. But the prices that other doctors charging are extremely abusive. And I've been seeing dermatologist and cosmetic procedures for over 20 years. I know what I'm talking about. Besides, the environment at the other clinics, maybe because the management and the nurses have the pressure to “sell” is very hostile and stressful. Dr. Nakatsui’s clinic is my Tiffany’s like the movies. Is such a calm, serene, playful, nice place to be almost like whimsical. About safe procedure with Covid-19? Don’t worry. When you reach their front door you will think that you are in a sealed place. I never saw a place so safe and protected like Dr. Nakatsui’s clinic. One day I was talking with a nurse about a stupid thing that I did with a pimple close to my lower eyelid. To my surprise Dr. Nakatsui appears to checked on me and he said that was too close to my eye and he can’t fixed the problem. That wasn’t a big deal, so I decided to wait until I talk to my optometrist. Until one day I received a phone call from a eye lid specialist that want to schedule an appointment for me as a referral from Dr. Nakatsui. And I was thinking that Dr. Nakatsui forgot about it. That phone call was amazing! Thank you so much! If you read my review until here this is my resume: Dr. Nakatsui and his team isn’t your just “ sell and go” doctor. They are a team that are capable, knowledgeable, professionals, but genuine concern with every client. Because they care about you and there you matter, not your wallet: YOU. And this is priceless!
