Albuquerque Dermatology Associates

I had Mohs surgery done to both my eyes and an ever so grateful that Dr. Sky Connely did the job to perfection. This is one very unusual doctor in that he is really excited about making life's better with the skills of hands! Who would have ever thought you could find such a great doctor in Albuquerque, New Mexico! Now that I moved to Phoenix/Scottsdale we have the good fortune of having many excellent doctors at the Mayo Clinic/Mayo Hospital. In my opinion, Dr. Connely is the Number 1 doctor to see when in New Mexico!!

I cannot recommend this Dermatology office. I was referred to Dr. Reddy there, however, I will never return. It is most difficult to call the office, as their phones are continually busy. One would think they could get someone in the office to answer the phones, or take a message, but apparently the staff have "other" things to do. Internet perhaps?? I attempted to cancel an appointment and when this was not done, I rec'd a letter on "red" paper no less, informing me I owed them $100 for failing to cancel my appointment. When attempting to dispute this bogus billing with their Collections/Billing person (Ms. M) I was literally shrieked at, especially when she had to admit she had no document signed by me agreeing to this ridiculous policy.Go somewhere else where the staff is polite and well trained. Also, believe the other one star reviews!!

It was time for my annual sun damage checkup and went to ADA for the first time a few weeks ago. In the past, I have always had the test done with ultraviolet light, not a magnifying glass. I'm no doctor, and neither was he, but I know that you can't adequately check for sun damage with a magnifying glass. "I can't see anything except some blemishes," he flippantly said. Also, I asked about fillers and laser hair removal. He said that someone would be in to talk to me about that. That person never came. Instead, I was quickly escorted out of the room and sent on my way. I had made my appointment pre-COVID and still had to wait four months for a visit which lasted about 10 minutes. The medication he prescribed was sent to the wrong pharmacy which was somewhat like the icing on the cake. Since then, I have found a real dermatologist who did not treat me like a senile old woman. For me, this appointment was a total waste of my time AND money.

Albuquerque is the highest metropolitan city in the US. Yes, it is higher than the "Mile High" city of Denver. People think Denver is higher because Albuquerqueans have never spent any money marketing themselves.Regardless, living (and hiking) in an elevation of 5,000 to 13,000 feet (especially if you are like most Albuquerqueans and spend a lot of time riding the trails of the Sandias) means that you need to take good care of your skin. Which brings me back to my review- the need for a good dermatologist.I highly recommend Sky Connolly at Albuquerque Dermatology Associates. He is professional and knowledgeable. He also personally wrote my insurance company to get a non- typical procedure covered. And as a female, I have to mention that the dude is HOTTTT and easy on the eyes. The only misgiving I have about his office is that they are always running late, so allow plenty of time for your appointment. If you are looking for a good dermatologist who will go out of the way to bat for you, then Sky is the guy.

I was seen by PA Costello, who DX squamous cell cancer in my ear. I was referred to Dr. Connolly for Mohs procedure and reconstruction. The procedure was a success, I was cured of cancer. Also, the reconstruction went well. I don't think anybody notices the reconstruction. This was a positive experience, and I continue to return to the clinic for annual exams. I regularly see PA Costello.

Great practice! I've seen Mr. Brian Costello PA and Dr. Sky Connolly MD numerous times and each visit has been a seamless experience! What I like about this practice is that they are very good at communication. Staff (scheduling, front desk, nurse, PA and MD) have all been friendly, courteous, professional and caring. I highly recommend this practice!

Stay away! I saw Rebecca Smith Sealy. She was very nice but has absolutely no management skills or follow up and cannot seem to return phone calls. There are too many bad examples to list. The final straw was her having me go through numerous blood draws to renew my prescription in June. In December, when my original prescription ran out, she evidently never renewed it. I spoke with the rude and disrespectful front office manager, Patty. She told me it was because I hadn't been to their office in over 6 months and my insurance changed. I have had the same insurance for almost 10 years and I have been seen in their office every 3 months for over 2 years! I told Patty I would like be seen by another Dr. and she told me no and that I should just find another Dermatology practice because they didn't want me there anymore.

I called to book an appointment as physician said that the medicine I was taking was associated with skin cancer. I was told on the phone that they could not book an appointment without first having my Medicare Number which I did not have with me. As a physician I am aware that your Medicare numbers are not needed to book an appointment. I told them that if that was the case I would not be making an appointment. I guess I knew what they are most interested in. Will not be going there.

Told me they faxed a prescription for Hydroquinone to Highland Pharmacy, so I drove across town only to be told by them that a prescription for this medication cannot be faxed - they did not give me a hand written prescription. I called the office and was told Dr. Costello and his staff aren't in the office on Friday, they never returned my phone call. Unprofessional.

This practice seems to be more in business to make a buck than provide good patient care.The staff from the scheduling down to the MA's are very unorganized in communication and sometimes rude. I have never been to a dermatologist where you have to tell them if you want to have your top half or lower half checked, especially when you have a history of skin cancer.The doctor is in and out very fast, and quick to point out cost of extras if you want them.I don't know if you have more than one half of your body examined, is there is an additional charge?There are better skin centers that care more about there patients, than how much they make.
