I have had many dermatologists. By far Dr Velez is the best dermatologist I have ever seen. She is thorough, friendly and is always available for any concerns. The office staff is the best also. I highly recommend Dr Velez for all your dermatology issues.

I had a wonderful experience at Pittsburgh skin. Everyone was kind from check-in to check-out. This was my first visit to a Dermatologist and it was a pleasant experience. It is a beautiful office in a convenient location. I will definitely be telling my friends!

What more can be said if you want to go to the Best Dermatologist in the North Eastern USA then look no farther than Dr. Nicole Velez. This is based on how much she cares and is really going to go through the effort of the entire battle you have with any skin care problem. I wish I could give her more stars because the dermatologist that referred me to her was an excellent dermatologist himself. I would not hesitate to refer either one and I have. My wife has already went there and my daughter's are going to be going there to. Believe if I trust anyone with my daughter's then I would refer her

I highly recommend Dr. Velez! From the moment I walked into the office I felt comfortable and welcomed by the staff. Dr. Velez looks into your eyes and explains in detail in a thoughtful, understanding manner. I never felt rushed and her compassion and genuine care for her patients was obvious. She even gave me her personal phone number to call at any time if I had a problem or concern after my Mohs Surgery. She personally called me that evening to see how I was doing - which I know she does for all of her patients. I wish all of my doctors were so attentive, confident and caring as Dr. Velez.

Exquisite individualized care from aloha to omega. Incredible experience all staff maintain a friendly, comfortable, knowledgeable practice. Nadine, PA, provided thorough information on each and every step as she performed minor procedure. She made sure I was prepared and comfortable. I appreciate the thoughtfulness and thoroughness that goes into explaining wound care and how to obtain follow up care-if needed. I would easily recommend this practice of dermatology to anyone looking for this type of care. From what I observed the staff cares for a wide range of dermatological issues.
