"I had a positive experience with Dr. Alexandra Kivnick at OSVI dermatology. She was incredibly patient, kind, and truly took the time to listen to all of my concerns. I never once felt rushed during my appointment. She spent a generous amount of time explaining everything clearly and providing updated, thoughtful advice tailored to my situation."
- Google Review (5 stars, 2026-02-26)"Really awful experience. They do not take any care in examining their patients. They try to get you in an out as quickly as possible without addressing your concerns, then bill you for things they did not even do."
- Anna Kernus, Google Review (1 star, August 15, 2024)"I visited this office summer of 2025. I waited 10 minutes for someone to come to reception. I noticed a sign that said there was a $2.50 convenience fee for using a credit card $49.00 and under and a $3.50 charge for anything over $50.00. They're going to charge me $2.50 for a $5 copay? Fine. I'll just pay cash. I had to fill out forms on a tablet. I was required to fill out credit card information, even though I was paying cash. No medical office has ever required credit card information from me. EVER."
