I would recommend Minnesota Dermatology to anyone who has any medical skin related issues. They were incredibly profession, and made the procedure almost painless. They also understand how some customers have not the best health insurance and are very fair on repayment.

Sadie Potvin

Diagnosed me with the fungus when it was completely the wrong scenario. Wasn't professional in my option

Dan Moe

They are great! Thank you Beth Boyum for being so thorough. Highly recommended!

Rajeev Agrawal

Not sure why they wrote $600+ steroids just for exzima

John Sterling

These people don't care one bit about you as a patient, only how much money they can get from you. It costs me 100 dollars per visit ( after insurance ) to talk the doctor for 5 minutes. All he did was prescribe some awful medicine that made me sick and have me come back in 6 weeks to talk for 5 minutes, charge me 100 dollars and prescribe more medicine. The doctor had zero interest in actually diagnosing the root cause of my problem. They are very friendly at the office, but its very obvious they just pack as many people through there as possible, as fast as possible. Avoid this place at all costs!

I mean Ok

Not a very good experience. Doctor Beth was wonderful and seemed knowledgeable. I did wait sometime but that was ok I guess, it was something I was willing to overlook. I really thought this was going to be my permanent dermatologist but I canceled a few times due to family emergencies and I was charged an $85 fee if I was ever to be seen there again which seems like a drastic response from the clinic not to mention I was a minor at the time.They weren’t very understanding and the customer/ patient Service over the phone came off quite disrespectful. It’s a shame because I think the doctors could actually be great. They were also being very difficult when I asked to have my records transferred. Everyone I know who I’ve told this to thinks it’s Ridiculous as well. Honestly I don’t think I’d recommend it.

I recently had an opportunity to seek the services of Dr. SAM Ecker, a new addition to Minnesota Dermatology. I came to him for advice on cosmetic options available to improve my overall appearance. He was very thorough about all options available to me, whether or not those services would be done directly by him or elsewhere. Dr. Ecker is a very enthusiastic advocate for his patients, and performed a procedure on me that day to reduce the appearance of my under eye puffiness. The impressive results were immediate, painless and affordable. While he is very knowledgeable and professional, he is also just as nice as can be.

I have been amazed by this group. I had been seeing Dr Ecker for about a year when he found melanoma on my leg. The care I received from he and his staff was above and beyond the call of duty during this time. It's been nearly 5 years since he removed my melanoma and I have follow-up appts every 3 months. They continue to be a great and caring staff. My DIL, son and granddaughters see Minnesota Dermatology as well. We all feel they exceed our expectations. And just for an FYI, it was my primary at U of MN who sent me to Dr Ecker. Even the Drs like his level of care.

Interesting reviews... I called the office, hoping they would accommodate me and was told in no uncertain terms that there is no way in the world doctor can see me sooner then 1.5 month away. I know it is a norm, but I was hoping for some flexibility and options. I am NOT rating the doctor!! Just an office.

I'm leaving a review for Minnesota Dermatology not as a patient, but as someone who lives with a patient of theirs, and has accompanied them on their appts, and has seen how MN Derm operates. It is clear to me that the people at this office do not care about your time, your money, or your well-being. (ie, stress levels, blood pressure, sanity, etc.) They don't have a clue as to what they are doing in terms of simple things like scheduling appts and refilling prescriptions. Which is pretty unsettling since this is a medical office. And I have seen ZERO courtesy shown to my partner. Small courtesies, like returning a phone call, spending more than 5 minutes with the patient after they waited 30 minutes past their appointed time, or following through with ANYTHING you say you are going to do (and NEED to do), would surely go a long way in making someone feel at least a smidgen bit cared about. Based on what I have seen first hand, and the nightmares I see my partner suffer through with simple things like getting his prescriptions filled, I would never recommend to anyone that they go to Minnesota Dermatology. After every visit, I urge my partner to change derms, but he is, understandably so, worried that MN Derm would simply mess up the transferring of his records to a different clinic/office. SIGH UPDATE 12/19/18: Well, it's been about a week since my partner left a message at this office regarding needing a refill for his prescription. And once again, NO CALL BACK OR ACTION OF ANY KIND! There's a shocker. But what is amazing is they now have a voicemail message stating that if you need to refill a prescription, YOU, the patient, are to call the pharmacy yourself. ?!?!?!?!?! That is insane to me. Since when do patients tell the pharmacies what they need? Can this office do ANYTHING for their patients?

Dr. Sam Ecker is as professional as he is friendly. You would think that having a Botox needle aimed towards your face would be terrifying, but Dr. Ecker explained everyrhing thoroughly and I felt very comfortable before, during, and after the procedure. He is extremely knowledgeable and helped me to make an informed decision about my cosmetic/preventive Botox treatment. Dr. Ecker is caring, relatable, and talented- I wish he was staying in FL!

Greg Edwards

Dr Ecker removed a basal cell spot from my forearm. Happy with that. No complications. Was unhappy with the full body evaluation. The dark spot on my temple that another dermatologist assured me was nothing when it showed up a few years earlier, was burned off by the "salesman" who assured me it could turn into cancer. That cost me a few hundred dollars. I fell for it because cancer is all over my family tree. The dark spot returned. The spot was again confirmed to be harmless when I needed a dermatologist to remove a squamous cell from my forehead. I'd have returned to Dr Ecker for that procedure if not for the money grab his salesman pulled off. Happy with the new dermatologist. Not saying who that was so this won't be misinterpreted as as an attempt to steer patients toward a particular office. It's wrong to play on a patient's fear to ring up an unnecessary dark spot removal sale. 12/7/17 update and reply from the patient. Long ago I asked to be taken off your email list, but got the Happy Holidays solicitation today. I'm glad I wasn't removed because I would not otherwise have read your reply to my review. I'm insulted. My review of your office is 100% accurate. I hope Santa brings you a big package of integrity this season. Please don't return it or regift it if he does. Now will you please remove my email address from your system? Thank you.

Doctor Sam Ecker is wonderful! He's not only knowledgeable but also friendly and nice. He totaly understood my issue and even predicted everything.

Nancy Bradley

Great clinic, wonderful staff. I've been a patient since 2009 and won't go anywhere else. Everyone here cares about you as a person and patient.

Robert Hawk

Asked me to be there at 9:15, not seen until 10am. The girl that scheduled me, assured me no consult needed to remove broken vessel on forehead. Doctor said "we don't have a laser machine, like other dermatologists do". He then referred me to a different dermatologist, without prescribing a cream that may have worked! Waist of time dealing with these amateurs! There are lots of dermatologists out there. Do yourself a favor, and find another one!

Nicole Erazo

Thank you Dr.Sam Ecker! He was my dermatologist in Miami, Fl. He helped me with my axillary hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating in my armpits). He explained the different treatment options available and ultimately we agreed on Botox. I appreciated he explained the benefits and risks of each treatment available- he's very knowledgeable and honest. I even asked him if I needed any Botox for my face and he recommended against it at this time. Again, I appreciate the honesty! His treatment changed my life and wardbrobe--I can wear so many more colors now and I'm not embarrassed about potentially sweating anymore. He took his time to explain the procedure, made sure I was comfortable, and followed up to see how the treatment worked out for me. He truly does care about making sure you are satisfied and helping with your main concerns. Also, he helped with recommending topical treatments for my acne. I can say I'm very happy with his work! I recommend highly him for any of your dermatology needs!

Our family has been extremely happy with the care we have received. Eric Englund has been wonderful with our child's severe psoriasis.

Jim Hansen

Excellent. Informative, Very Thorough, Gentle, and Comprehensive. The Medical staff is kind and considerate. I have been going to Dr. E almost since they opened. Over the years, I have had numerous diagnostic procedures and treatments done by Dr. E., all to my complete satisfaction. No scars.

Morgan Wells

Fantastic facility and doctors. Plus with those receptionists I wouldn't mind being in the waiting room for hours.

Matthew Doherty

Minnesota Dermatology does excellent work in a professional setting. I've had treatment from Dr. Phil Ecker and Eric Englund, including Mohs Surgery that was painless and efficient. I would highly recommend them to anyone.

Christine Middlecamp

I've been a patient of Dr.Ecker for four years and counting. I visited three dermatologists prior to discovering Minnesota Dermatology in search of help for severe rosacea. He was the very first dermatologist to substantiate a treatment plan that actually worked to derail my condition. I was in considerable pain and felt extreme embarrassment in terms of appearance. Today, my skin is nearly flawless, minus the light redness that remains. Dr.Ecker has been a saving grace, and is one of the kindest doctors I know as he cares immensely about his patients and practice. I travel forty minutes each way to visit Minnesota Dermatology. His staff is kind, courteous, caring, knowledgable and readily available to patients as needed. My phone calls have always been answered in a timely fashion. The pricing is extremely fair. By far the most reliable dermatologist in the state of Minnesota - I'm tremendously grateful for their services. They have changed my life for the better! Rosacea, in check!
