If only I had known how quick, easy and painless it was to have an unsightly mole removed I would never have procrastinated for so long to have it done!
Like others have said, the offices are nice and convenient with easy parking. Office staff are friendly and courteous. Dr Reichel was on time, very professional and clearly explained the removal options and provided other advice for monitoring the condition of my moles. I was expecting to have to book another appointment but she could do the procedure on the spot with just one small numbing injection and I was back at the office within an hour. I would not hesitate to recommend her to others and in fact have already done so.
Pros: convenience, value and professionalism
Cons: none to mention

I am a bit delayed in writing this review. I had Botox with Dr. Reichel in June. I have had it before and always enjoyed the results but this time it was a little better. I generally address the worry lines between my brows and Dr. Reichel also suggested a little around my eyes for the crow's feet and the "bunny lines" on my nose. I know Dr. Reichel well and trust her implicitly, so I agreed to try it. I was thrilled! Not only was the entire procedure comfortable and quick, I had no bruising or pain following the injections. I do not look "Botox'd" or expressionless in the least, I just look a little fresher and less worried. Laugh lines around my eyes are still present, just a little less severe. This is a great office in general and I recommend it for cosmetic and general dermatology needs!

I went to see Dr Reichel for a consult on skin care and how to treat sun damage and lines on my face. She spent at least 30 minutes with me talking about all the options. It was one of the most educational doctor's visits that I have had. She gave me great advice and ended up with a treatment plan that was tailored just for me. I recommend this office. Not to mention that the office is beautiful and the nurse that I saw initially (Cheryl) was wonderful and also spent time with me.

I'm an esthetician and have had many different dermatologists that I have seen over the past 15 years. I saw Dr. Reichel a couple days ago and was so pleased with her bed-side manner, knowledge, and skill. I had botox injections and to my suprise, they first put on numbing cream which made the experience much nicer. More importantly though, Dr. Reichel was so personable and actually took time to talk with me and answer all my questions. She told me all my options for another procedure that I was interested in and didn't sound like she was trying to just sell me that most expensive procedure. I'm a bit sensitive when it comes to this area because I've had a few experiences with other " reputable" cosmetic derms who had that used car salesman vibe going on. Anyways, I would recommend her to anyone ( and will be recommending her to all my clients). Oh and last but not least, she looks like a normal ( and I mean that as a huge compliment) and beautiful Northwest woman...not overly filled, plumped, and pulled like some others that I have seen.... think Los Angeles *shudder*
Pros: The Doctor, easy parking, located right off the freeway for easy acess
Cons: Had to wait a while to see her

I was truly impressed by the beauty of this clinic in the Northgate area, but it only paled in comparison to the excellent experience I had with Dr. Reichel and her friendly staff. They offer a wide range of services from cosmetic surgery such as liposuction, botox, and hair removal to skin cancer surgery if needed. Her additional surgical training was obvious when she performed the procedure I had done. Would recommend her to anyone.
Pros: Nice new office. Excellent bedside manner. Courteous staff. Parking on-site.
Cons: None

Amazing clinic. Great doctor. Thorough exam and treatment. She helped me with a problem that has been concerning me for years. I am so greatful that she was able to help me. The location is perfect because you don't have to deal with all the traffic and it's right off the I-5. Highly recommend it for anyone with a serious skin issue.
Pros: Wonderful location, Great doctor, warm staff.
Cons: not enough to talk about

It's really difficult to find a dermatologist these days, but to find one who I really identified with was amazing. Dr. Reichel and her staff from the very minute I entered the clinic as a new patient were warm, courteous, and plain delightful. The physical structure is beautiful and well put together.
Pros: Parking in the building is free. Wide range of services.

I saw Dr. Reichel in her new location, and I was impressed first by the brand new office and courteous staff. She was prompt and attentive to my concerns. She also offered a broad range of dermatologic services which meant I could see her for any number of reasons from general skin issues to cosmetics, to skin cancer.
Pros: Beautiful new office. Free parking.
Cons: None
