Acne is the term used to describe blackheads, whiteheads, pimples, minor lumps, or plugged pores that occur on the face or upper torso. Most major acne problems occur during adolescence, but this condition can occur before and after the teenage years.
While acne can affect males and females, males tend to experience more severe, longer lasting types of the condition, and many females will have frequent flare-ups of acne during hormonal shifts (such as their menstrual cycle).

Contact dermatitis can be divided on into allergic or irritant contact dermatitis. Our dermatologists will identify the type of dermatitis or eczema, and help you minimize or eliminate the cause. The cause of allergic contact dermatitis can often be identified with skin tests. For example, individuals may develop allergic sensitivity to nickel in jewelry, rubber in shoes, leather or latex in gloves, or fragrances in creams and lotions.
Due to the methodical manner in which tissue is removed and examined, Mohs surgery has been recognized as the skin cancer treatment with the highest reported cure rate for basal cell carcinoma, the most common type of skin cancer, and for squamous cell carcinoma. Mohs surgery is done in an office setting under local anesthesia.

I have been part of this office for the past 15 or more years. My doctor retired and his replacement is doctor Meeker . I have total respect for him , his staff and office. It is the best office in respecting your appointment time . I have never had to wait for my appointment. If you arrive at the time your asked to, they will have you in your room at the time of your appointment .
Dr. Meeker is very efficient , listens to you, answers your question and very concerned about your welfare. I recommend this office to anyone who wishes to be treated well

Response from owner was to call first thing Monday and they will get it straight. well guess what you get an answering machine and they won't listen to the machine until noon and later in the day. sounds like the owner doesn't now what is going on. so no meds for the wife today. this mt previous review: the people at the clinic is nice and the doctor is very knowledgeable but the reason for the low rating is they were to put n the meds for the wife at the rite aid at 15801 pacific. the wife showed the doctor a bottle with the address on it was suppose to an antibiotic and cream, but guess what

EXCELLENT experience with the practice today. Professional but friendly staff. Dr Meeker listened to me and explained his approach before treating me. That was quite refreshing alone in itself.. Thanks to all who made my office visit a pleasant one! Highly recommend Puyallup Dermatology to address your skin care needs ...😃

Very happy with this office. Dr Meeker and his Nurse Stacy were wonderful. I accompanied my 80 year old mother to get a cancer removed and they were so helpful, informative and most of all very compassionate. We called several times before the surgery to make sure everything was ok, and was even able to send a photo over email for confirmation. I love this office and all the people who work there. Special thanks to Dr Meeker and Stacy for all their support and compassion. They could see my mother was scared and in pain and they were wonderful. Highly recommend this office!

They cancelled an appointment for my son via mail claiming they could not reach my wife. Turns out they took down the wrong phone number. No problem. But when I ask the reason for the cancellation, I'm told the doctor may have gotten called out and may not be in office that day. Ok. This was scheduled long in advance but sure, we'll reschedule. When I provide the correct number and ask them to call my wife, they begin to argue with my about the intent of the letter, saying she should call them, then back peddling saying they would call her. All around rude and very unprofessional. In

Horrible front desk staff. Receptionist was childish, unprofessional, and couldn't handle my request to call my wife opposed to her calling them after they made a mistake, took down the wrong phone number and cancelled our appointment scheduled long in advance. Receptionist unfit in a customer service setting and will be the reason this place loses business.
Go somewhere that takes pride in their clients. It starts at reception. If you can't get even that right, what kind of service do you expect to receive from the doctors. If I were one of the doctors working there reading these negative

Dr. McLain and his staff are amazing. He truly went above and beyond for me. If you need a dermatologist, this is the guy to see.

Dr. McLain and his staff were warm and really nice. From the front desk to the assistant who brought me back.
Doctor was prepared and upbeat. He explained everything and answered all my questions. During the quick procedure he confidently said what was happening and making sure I was still numb. And done. Made a rather unpleasant procedure, quick and painless. Beyond expectations and made me even write a review.

Dr McLain ! I've visited this place a few times. I've had acne most of my life and I'm almost 30. I was hoping to maybe find a treatment to help reduce big acne marks. Dr McLain listened to all the things I had tried. Then he explained a range of treatments and how they worked. He didn't just tell me to wash my face (I've tried soo many washes) lol I was completely relieved. So I started the treatment he also explained what options were available if treatment didn't work for me which made me feel so much better . I have no acne now and I've had pretty bad acne

This was my first time at the clinic, and first time to a dermatologist in years. I have severe adult acne, but that wasn't what brought me in. Made my appointment over the phone for a more emergency kind of visit. I was seen in a good amount of time and actually had appointments available before May. I was super nervous based on the reviews left previous to mine. But let me tell you, the office was clean, quite, and friendly staff. I'm not sure if other people expect to be waited on hand and foot when they enter the door, or maybe they should remove the lodged stick... all of the staff

I echo the other reviews about the non existent customer service. Having worked as an office manager for a Dermatology practice in San Diego, I was shocked at the unprofessional manner in which they treated me. They don't answer their messages so don't bother leaving one. They don't always answer the phone during business hours either. Paperwork for referrals, pre authorization for meds and/or procedures were delayed or allowed to slip though the cracks. If you don't want to help the people that come through your doors, find something else to do with your lives because this

Do NOT go there! If you want interpreter, they will not provide you one. I called a month and a half ago to request interpreter and they said yes they will. Guess what? They told me in my face that they will not provide sign language interpreter. I got really upset. What a screwed up company! Again, do not go here!

Dr. Vaughn is a personable, kind, and thorough Dermatologist. Because I have many freckles and moles, my primary care physician sends me for a yearly check up to make sure all is well. Dr. Vaughn listened to my concerns and had a realistic conversation with me about how much sun exposure is good for you and how much is too much. I really appreciated how he was so approachable.

Dr. Vaughan is amazing and will make you and your family feel very comfortable. He is an excellent physician and upholds Christian values. He is honest, skilled, thoughtful, and has a great sense of humor! He put in the extra time to get you the right diagnosis and treatment plan. He is a well known and respected dermatologist and has served in the US Army and trained in every situation. He has pioneered new techniques and brings incredible value to dermatology. He will take excellent care of you.

I will not be returning to Puyallup Dermatology again. The receptionist were not welcoming at all. I showed up to the counter and the receptionist grabbed the paper I had out of my hand and never said hello or welcomed me or even asked how I was doing. Then was rude because I didn't have a piece of paper signed that they mailed to me but then had a stack of them in her desk. I read reviews about this place before coming back, because I was seen here a couple of times years back but thought I would try it again and it's true about the reviews on how rude the receptionist are.

Went through two week treatments twice on my face to kill cancer cells. The actual treatment was hellish, but the results were beyond expectations. I've tried other dermatologists for 15 years all with disappointing results. Dr. Vaughn really knows his practice and am so grateful to have ended up here!
