I am new Pt to Dr Samlaska office. He has a very professional staff, I checked in both times and was in the room in less than 5 minutes. I highly recommend this office if you need a Dermatologist!

Wonderful doctor and amazing staff. I have been a patient of Dr. SamLaska for years and I would not consider going to any other dermatologist. He is very knowledgeable and very kind. The staff members are professional and always polite.

Been going for several years. Dr Sam is very knowledgeable about dermatology. Office is professional and runs on time.

Dr Samlaska turned my itchy, scabed legs in 1 month to something I can wear shirts with!! I have been trying for 12 years to have someone relieve the pain and constant scratching I have had. Other doctors, hospitals, creams, prescriptions none have worked. With one prescription and a few new ways to manage my issue in one month I have seen my legs turn around 180 degrees. Thank you so much!!

This is a rather long review, so please take the time to read it. My moms primary care doctor sent her to see Dr. Samlaska after we had a bad experience with her thumb. Something popped up on her thumb after she nicked it in the kitchen with a pairing knife. The wound just kept getting bigger and bigger. after 3 rounds of antibodics she was sent to a hand specialist. This dr. looks at it and said he needs to cut the whole area out (the size of a quarter at this point). So of course we followed his direction and a few days later she had it cut out. Then we received a report that the lab work came back as cancer. She was sent for a whole series of test and 21 treatments of radiation.. Her thumb looked like it had been set on fire. It was a terrible traumatic experience for my 70 yr old mom. 3 weeks later a new wound opened up on her finger right beside the thumb. She was distraught. She and I both thought, here we go again.. When she went to the her pc about it she asked to see another dr because the hand doctor was negative, not very concerned with his patience understanding of what was going on. We just didn't like him. The pc sent her to Dr. Samlaska but told her to call the hand doctor if need be. Not to let it go too long. We immediately made an appt. From the moment my mom and I walked thru the door of his office, his staff and Dr. Samlaska treated us with respect, concern and determination to get my moms hand fixed. We were not the easiest people because we had already been so traumatized by the thumb. He insisted that her finger was NOT cancer and we insisted it looked and acted EXACTLY the same way the thumb did. So we were sure he just didn't understand because he stood strong on the "ITS NOT CANCER" theory. He gave her anitibodtics and we came back a week later and the finger was worse. He took a culture to find out what exactly we were dealing with.. put her on another antiboditic and back in a week.. The finger was again, worse and the culture came back negative. NO INFECTION !! He said, I think this is "pyoderma gangersun".. I made him right it down.. By then we were fed up.. But he said I am gonna give you a steriod and a prescription for a topical to put on it.. Told us exactly how to clean it and care for it.. I called my sister to confirm. (she is alittle more familiar with the medical stuff) we were debating, at this point, to return to the hand doctor. My sister said, no way, stay with the dermatologist, give him a chance, this is his expertise and you just need to stay away from the hand doctor, so after much conversation, my mom cancelled her appoint with the hand dr. One week later we were back in the office and yes, you guessed it, THE FINGER WAS BETTER!! he was right !! Dr. Samlaska was more excited than my mom and I were !! From that moment forward, we have been fans for the rest of our life. He is an excellent DOCTOR who genuinely cares about his patients.. That was 2 weeks ago, he put her on strong steriods and we saw him today, and her thumb is almost like new. It is amazing to me what he has done for my mom. As I read in previous reviews. It's all true, his office is beautiful, clean, well maintained, you never wait for more than 5 minutes, always on time, very pleasant and professional. I would recommend him to EVERYONE !! I am so thankful we have found him. My moms problem is some what rare and we are now thinking that is what was on her thumb originally and no one took the time to figure it out. Thank you Dr. Samlaska, my mom and I are grateful to you and your staff for giving her the best care possible. I can't even begin to tell you how good it feels to find an office to still believes in being doctors. You are such an asset to this community and I hope anyone in need of a great dermatologist will come straight to you.

He is very skilled, thorough, and competent! He’s an excellent diagnostician. He diagnosed melanoma on one of my loved ones and quickly treated it. Basically, he saved his life! He also diagnosed squamous cell carcinoma and treated it on another of my loved ones. I’m grateful for Dr. Samlaska.

DR is on vacation and staff isn’t willing to help anyone. If you’re a Nevada vascular patient you’re supposed to know what to do. Find a cardiologist that cares

Kathy Cherry

Doctor and staff professional, caring, friendly, and helpful.

Dr samlaska is the worst cosmetic dermatologist I have ever seen. I went to see him for brown spots on my forehead in April. He sprayed liquid nitrogen on the spots and made it 20 times worse. I have burnt skin It is still all red/brown and it's October now. I'm currently seeing my amazing Dermatologist in Beverly Hills who is working to undue the damage he caused me. This doctor doesn't know anything about cosmetic procedures. He should not involve himself with cosmetics at all. My advice never see this doctor for cosmetic issues he will ruin you !!!!!!

Shirley Haewski

My husband had psoriasis that was out of control for years and tried several other doctors that failed to be able to put him in remission. Dr Samlaska immediately recognized his problem and was able to clear his skin and stop the eczema itching. He is an awesome doctor, he is the best!!!!!

Michael Hlavaty

Great doctor, very easy to make an appointment. Very knowledgeable doctor on any and all skin conditions. He found an issue on me and we caught it early and saved my life.

I’m a new pt of Dr. I haven’t personally met with him, but I meet with is PA. She is quick, thorough, intelligent, and very professional, but still knows how to have a good time with her PT’s. I highly recommend this dermatology office, it’s very affordable and they are VERY experienced.

Friendly and knowledgeable. Eased my mind that a red splotch was nothing more than some longer lasting sun damage. Would recommend.

I have been seeing Dr. Samlaska for over 12 years. I see a number of Doctors and I can tell you his office is the most professional medical group I have ever dealt with. My wait time is never more than 10-15 minutes and I find Dr. Samlaska to be kind, caring, patient and a pleasure to see. He and his entire staff gets five stars from me anytime.
