I'm surprised at all the negative reviews here. Maybe I just got lucky but I saw Dr.Wahlgren today for an appointment at 11:10 which started a 11:10. She was pleasant, asked my history with Dr. Gorelick (she had my file from him) and asked a few more questions. She then examined me and found what I thought she would find, zapped it and off I went. All in all a very efficient operation if you ask me.

Please don't waste your time with this organization. The staff is sluggish and unfriendly. Also, prepare to wait at least 30 minutes or more before being called to the exam room...then wait another 15 to 30 minutes in there. I didn't feel like my doctor was thorough, both appointments were very rushed. I will definitely be continuing my care elsewhere.

I should have paid more attention to the many negative comments , on this website, about Dr. Christina Whalgren and her staff and office. My advice would be to avoid this doctor. Her office is not patient friendly. I had called her office just ten minutes before arriving and asked if the doctor was running on time. I was told that she was running on time. I drove in from Carmel. When I arrived I was informed that my appointment would be delayed by at least 45 minutes. I had another doctor's appointment scheduled an hour aft... read more

I created a yelp account just so I could write a review of how awful this place is. I saw Dr. Wahlgren for a consult. I had an allergic reaction to the medication she prescribed. I called before business hours and was transferred to an emergency line to speak with an on-call doctor. They took my information and said a doctor would call me within fifteen minutes. I sat and waited for almost two hours with no phone call. By this point the office was open, so I just called them instead, and they had no idea who I spoke to or th... read more

Went to see Dr. Wahlgren for a full body check, which I haven't had in many many years. I was very impressed by the thoroughness of her check, as well as the personal interest she showed in my health. She's young, concerned, and really seems to love her work. Skin cancer was confirmed. The only reason I am rating this office a 4 and not a 5 is because I was quite shocked when someone (not Dr. Wahlgren) called me and told me about the basal cell carcinoma. I was so casually informed that it took a few minutes before I realiz... read more

I have had the best care from Dr. Wahlgren. Her recommendations for my skin problems have been spot-on every time. She is friendly and nice. Yes, their office is busy. Their fees are very reasonable, and I appreciate that they accept my insurance. The location of their office is convenient for me. I truly appreciate her service and recommend her to anyone who asks me which dermatologist I see.

With a zero deductible Anthem Blue Cross health insurance coverage (and a hefty monthly payment that makes that happen), Dr. Christina Wahlgren denied me medical treatment all because my health insurance was associated with Obamacare. Isn't that against the law?

This office is having an Open House on February 4, 2016 around 5:30-7:30 approximately. I R.S.V.P.ed on-line and was asked to schedule a complimentary evaluation for that evening.I dropped by the office before noon to ask more specific questions and was told to wait for the manager responsible for this event. After 20 minutes, I was told she had gone to lunch. I left her a message and received a call back. So, I did not need to set an appointment for that evening, but could be seen, when I attend. However, the procedures bei... read more

I should have read all of the other reviews before I went, but Dr. Gorelick was my doctor for years and they took his patients when he retired. Dr. Walgreen was very pleasant, but her once over my body for my yearly checkup took about 30 seconds, whereas Dr. Gorelick would touch spots, move them around, etc for a good two minutes. "You're okay," she said. But what really upset me was seeing the aesthetician Jean. Without checking my medical records I bought their Skin Lightening Cream, on her recommendation. When I learned i... read more
