I had a very horrible experience here and wish I never made the trip!
I went in to treat sunburns that I got from vacationing. Dr. Alster took a quick look at me and said I was "INNATELY DARK" and she could not help me until I was "no longer exposing myself to sunlight"... in what world does that happen?! She then recommended a face serum, eye cream, and sunscreen powder, which were completely ineffective after using it for over 2 months (I bought the serum and eye cream). This is besides the fact that I was treated like a lab rat with student doctors perusing my face. I am still traumatized by

This is one of those places where they won't tell you the actual cost of treatment until you've spent $250 to see a doctor for a five-minute "consultation," and get you in the door by providing misleading/incorrect information at the time of booking.
I called on 10/22/2021 at around 1:00 PM to inquire about laser tattoo removal. When I asked about the cost, the woman who answered the phone explained that they could not give me an exact figure without first seeing the tattoo (understandable), but that sessions started at $350 and went up to $1,000. I figured my 2x3” tattoo would be somewhere

Dr. Alster was very personable, fair and laser focused on providing proper treatment for my primary concerns. I had been to 3 other dermatologists over the last couple years and have not found any success in treating my acne. I decided to travel 2+ hours to see Dr. Alster and it was 100% worth it. She will provide you the best of the best at home skincare regimen with only the products you NEED. I have absolutely zero hesitations in recommending Dr. Alster and in fact I highly recommend her.

Words cannot express how wonderful Dr Alster is. Of all the doctors I’ve ever been to, her bedside manners exceeded them all. She greeted me with a smile in her eyes (mask was on) and proceeded to explain the procedure in detail and wrapped her spiel by asking me if I had any questions. She exhibited a level of concern & compassion unmatched by any other physician. During my procedure today, she verbalized exactly what she was doing every step of the way. She even went as far as sharing some recent adventures she had been on. I left feeling confident in her knowledge, abilities, and professionalism

Dr. Alster has been my dermatologist for over 15+ years . She has always gone above and beyond to guide me in terms of my skincare routine and has always made me look and feel my absolute best. She takes the time to listen and understand my needs and concerns in regards to my self maintenance. I routinely schedule appointments regularly for skincare guidance , and injectables and laser treatments. Dr. Alster has always made me feel like the best version of myself without making me feel over done or altering my appearance . Dr. Alster’s staff is equally as amazing , they are professional and welcoming

Dr. Alster was recommended to me by a dear friend. My skin is aging and I wanted someone who was knowledgable to help me look better.....more like myself. I was pretty nervous going in to the appointment. I didn't know what to expect. First of all, I got there a bit early and they actually saw me early. I didn't wait at all. Dr. Alster made me feel completely comfortable right away. She is warm, friendly, smart and professional. Clearly she knows what she is doing and I knew I was really good hands. Her office is a special place. The staff is warm and happy. You can see right away that they love

Dr. Tina Alster is the most dedicated doctor in her field. I have trusted her to take care of my face for many years. She has never disappointed me and in fact I do not tell her what I need to have done. She tells me. That is a terrific bond to count on year after year.
The staff at Washington Institute of Dermatological Laser is outstanding. The best in their field. They will make you feel like the most important person of the day.

Dr. Alster is a world class dermatologist. I recommend her for anyone who can afford the treatments and dermatological products. I have seen significant improvement on my face since my first visit to her; and, she believes "less is more" in terms of treatment opting for gradual improvement rather than something dramatic which can appear artificial. For those who reject surgery but whose youthful appearance is important one cannot do better than seeing Dr. Alster (assuming she is even accepting new patients). In addition, her staff is excellent -- Megan is wonderful.
