When you smile, laugh, frown, or look puzzled, you contract the muscles of your face. Over time, these contractions produce permanent furrows and deep wrinkles in the skin, especially around the eyes and mouth, between the eyebrows, and on the forehead. These lines can make you look older, sad, angry or tired.

They changed my appointment time so I had to change my work schedule, took me 10 minutes to find the office and wound up late by 3 minutes because of it. Couldn’t attend me, lady in the front wasn’t wearing a mask which is mandated by the building. Main practitioner wasn’t even in. Don’t recommend.

Will not recommend this medical practice to anyone given that they take health issues as a joke. Avoid this practice to save you from misdiagnoses.
Had a really bad experience with this clinic. My first visit was virtual and the medication prescribed did not work. Was asked to provide pictures prior to the visit which were not even reviewed by anyone based on the questions that were asked. So I scheduled an in person visit with the nurse practitioner as a follow up. There was no attempt for a thorough diagnosis. Generic triggers like weather and stress were given as findings.

Brooke Smart, NP, is top notch. Her bedside manner is warm and accommodating, her skill at diagnostics and determining best treatment leaves nothing to be desired. Whether you have dermatologic issues, or want cosmetic treatment, she is the go to practitioner.
Make an appointment with her. You will be pleased!

Went to this location about 5-6 times over 2 years. The Nurse Practitioner- Brooke, is very friendly and helped me with my issues very professionally. I credit the fact that I was able to finish my 1 1/2 years of undergrad with a decent quality of life to this location. The prescriptions they recommended were mostly steroids, but they worked wonders to clear my stubborn eczema. They made sure that I had access to all of the prescriptions I needed that fit my budget. Thanks Las Colinas Dermatology.

Dr. Black is INCREDIBLE!!! She is very experienced and knowledgeable. I never feel rushed or embarrassed to ask her questions. She gives me that confidence. Whatever we discuss, she explains thoroughly and will even draw pictures or write down information so that I have a better understanding. I also appreciate that they have prices for me on whatever I'm planning on doing so that way I'm not surprised by the bill. I trust her completely. Plus, she's from Louisiana so you know she's cool. I've never met Dr. Smart but every time she sees me, even though I've never been

My dermatologist in Grapevine gave a 30 days treatment for my skin. I tried it for 30 days with no change at all.
This afternoon at 2:30 I went to Las Colinas Dermatology and saw Brooks Smart who prescribed a different application to my skin. I applied it at 3:30 PM and now is 8:30 PM and I already see and 80% improvement. How can I not give that a 5 stars rating.

I absolutely loved the dermatologist! She did a great job and was very personable. However...checking out was not so great. Here's how it went:
Receptionist: "That will be 200 today."
Me: "I don't t have a copay. Once you submit it to the insurance I'll be happy to pay what I owe."
Receptionist: "Oh, we called the insurance. You owe 200."
Me: "Um. I've already met my deductible and I don't believe I owe 200. Please submit it and I'll pay what insurance says I owe."
Receptionist: (Who is not at all pleasant now) "

Ok so I was scheduled for Botox with Brook, the PA. I've never had anyone other than a doctor do my injections. So, I was a little hesitant. However, the refreshments in the tiny (but cozy) waiting room put me somewhat at ease. But, my ease was short-lived after being whisked out of the waiting room by a tech that apparently hated her job. She was smug, angry, and lacking in customer service skills. As she took pictures she barked out orders like I was at the DMV - "turn right", "left". There was no attempt at chit chat (oh and yes, I tried) not even a smile or a

My husband and I have been Dr. Black's patients for at least 10 years. Before we found Dr. Black, our experience with other dermatologists lead us to think we had to be proactive and tell what concerns we had. They lacked the expertise recognizing potential skin problems, etc. that we wouldn't know how to search. Not with Dr. Black and Brook. They both proactively check the full body. Each of us come with questions about concerned areas. These two professionals listen to what we say, check the areas we brought to their attention as well as check their own procedure for possible problems

I first saw Brooke in May for an annual exam and a consult on my aging skin. With a clear bill of skin health, I signed on for some voluma and later Botox. Brooke is an artist, and was able to put the definition back in my face exactly where it belonged. She was also able to correct my RBF which I didn't even know could be done, with a little Botox! It's time to re-up so I'll be back soon. She was ridiculously patient with my bazillion questions and worries about possible side-effects, and she has a super calming presence and kept me busy during the procedures so I barely thought

Dr. Black is a very good Dr. She takes time with you; listens: and explains her treatment plan succincly and in easy to understand terms. Her medical staff are fast, efficient, and knowledgable. While efficient and fairly quick I wouldn't say the front office is overly friendly. My biggest suggestion is to add a water dispenser or drink center in the waiting room. That would be really helpful.

Great first appt with Brooke the NP! Had no problems getting an appointment in a timely manner. They sent me a link so I could fill out all the paperwork ahead of time. I really hate filling out paperwork in the doctor's office so I love that I could do all that online before my appointment! Staff was very friendly and on top of their jobs, virtually no wait time! Thanks!

One of the worst doctor experiences i've had in years!
First off getting an appointment was a real hassle. Not many times and they dont really work with you, the customer. Office hours are very limited as well. Then, when calling back I got an attitude from one of the employees when I didnt know every answer about my insurance. Here's my insurance policy number you tell me. Sorry, I will not do your job too.
Also, as a new customer they will pester you to fill out some long bio online. what happened to doctors collecting information about their customers and not forcing them to submit
