Medical Dermatology Associates of Chicago

I scheduled an appointment with Dr. Kuritza to address acne problems, to do a skin cancer screening, and also to get a quote on laser treatments. They warned me that there may not be enough time to go over all of my concerns which I understood. I showed up to my appointment early but felt very rushed the entire time Dr. Kuritza was talking to me. I did not feel like the skin exam was thorough enough. She didn’t even check my stomach. This is concerning considering I have a family history of melanoma. Additionally, when I discussed my concerns about getting on a new prescription for my acne problems, she was very dismissive. She stated that “I wouldn’t be happy trying holistic methods because it would take a long time” and pretty much left me no other option than to take the Spironolactone. She did not ask me any questions about my skin care regime, which later I found out from another professional that a lot of my products were contributing to my skin issues. The appointment was disappointing and I left feeling more lost on how I should be addressing my acne. Dr. Kuritza spent less then 15 minutes talking with me and the appointment took no longer than 30 minutes. My appointment slot was scheduled for an hour. There was no reason for them to rush through the appointment. A few weeks after my appointment, I was experiencing sore, painful, bumps on the joints of my fingers. During my appointment, the staff were adamant that if I had any questions or concerns, that I could send them a message using Klara. I sent the pictures of my fingers and questions and did not hear back for over 10 days. I called the office and they told me that they would “nudge” the medical assistant to answer my message. Another week went by with no response from anyone. I sent multiple follow up messages, but had enough and stated that if no one would be responding that I would need to find a new doctor. No response. I asked them to cancel my appointment. No response. I finally called today to cancel my appointment. What is the point of having a client messaging system if it is not used whatsoever? Leading up to my appointment, I was responding to multiple messages from the office. But when I had a medical concern, suddenly they went silent. I am confused why this office has so many good reviews because my experience overall has been awful. I would not recommend it to anyone, especially not to someone that is hoping to get thorough advice on how to address their acne problems.

From the minute I walked into the office I felt comfortable, at ease and a little embarrassed because I was late for my very first visit! I apologized and the girl taking care of me at the desk she was very kind and understanding. She said the doctor will see you anyway thank god. I did not wait long to be seen. Facility very clean, and bright well managed. I was taken to a room where I was asked the usual questions medications, allergies why are you here etc Doctor came in big smile on her face very positive attitude introduce herself and she began the exam. She was very thorough calling out what she saw and going over some things and then were done. Very informative, knowledgeable, friendly pleasant visit. Don't hesitate to call and make an appointment Everyone should get a skin check up you give your car a check up 🤷‍♀️

I had a procedure done with Dr. Kuritza and had a great experience from beginning to end. She was professional, thorough, and reassuring, which made the entire process feel much easier than expected. Her assistant Haley was wonderful — attentive, kind, and always one step ahead. Even the nurse who helped with my follow-up visit was excellent and made everything quick and comfortable. It’s not often you leave a medical appointment feeling genuinely supported and well taken care of, but this team truly delivers. I’d highly recommend Dr. Kuritza and her staff.

I had a Hydrafacial with Sarah Pliml today and it was an amazing experience! My skin is absolutely glowing. Sarah is professional, kind, and truly great at what she does. She made the whole experience relaxing and comfortable. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a great facial!

Fantastic experience. Professional, knowledgeable, and attentive care from start to finish. Dr. Tracee Blackburn really listened to my concerns and explained my treatment plan clearly. The office staff was welcoming and efficient as well. Highly recommend!
