Our cyst removal surgery in Jacksonville is performed using local anesthesia in an outpatient surgical procedure. This creates the safest and most effective environment for cyst removal.
According to Medical News Today, skin cysts affect at least 20% of adults in the U.S. Cysts are noncancerous sacs filled with skin cells that typically do not cause problems. While they are usually not painful or tender, they can become damaged, inflamed, or infected. Infections can occur if the cyst bursts.
My experience is the nicest medical doctor and staff I have run into in a very long time. They all treat me very well. They have even given me free medicine when I have needed it. I enjoy going to this Dermatologist office very much, they take very good care of me and my condition very seriously, thank you Jax Dermatology!!!!
Response from the owner:Your feedback is highly appreciated. Thank you for the review!
My exam was thorough and professional. Zach completed 3 procedures with no discomfort at all, making sure sites were totally numb before he proceeded. I recommend Jax Dermatology and Cosmetic Sugery.
Response from the owner:We appreciate the kind words and are glad we could provide you with a positive experience!
This was my first visit to Jax Dermatology and I was impressed by the professionalism at the front desk, the knowledge and expertise of the staff and the kindness extended to me during treatment. I arrived very early to my appointment to give me time to fill out paperwork and was more than willing to come back for the actual appointment, however, staff got me in early and there was no "wait" involved I want to thank the staff for such prompt and courteous service.
My second visit on July 2, 2025, was equally satisfying. I was taken into the exam room within 5 minutes of arriving. The services of Dr. Stepien were accomplished with ease and perfect professionalism. I appreciate a practice that values their patients and does their absolute best to provide the services with such knowledge and expert handling. I will continue with Jax Dermatology for all future needs.
I visited again in April 2026 and had a great experience. The PA who did my filler was extremely informative and did great work on my face. I appreciate the professionalism shown by the folks at Jacksonville Dermatology.
Response from the owner:Thank you so much for leaving us a stellar review!
This team is absolutely amazing. I was so nervous and these ladies handle it with such confidence and grace. It was quick and painless. Went in on Thursday and by Wednesday I had my results. Highly recommend!!
Response from the owner:Thanks for taking the time to share your positive experience. We truly appreciate it!
Response from the owner:We are delighted that you had a great experience with us. Thank you for taking the time to rate us!
