As an Irish redhead, I have naturally light skin with red undertones. The treatments at Legacy Cosmetology really help even my skin tone. The team is so caring and work to make sure you get the right treatments with a minimal amount of discomfort and the solutions you need. I am also a dermatology patient, so I have extensive experience with this practice.

Our family has been going to Legacy Dermatology for more than 8 years and before that my daughter saw Dr. Patrice Simon for her dermatology needs. Legacy is top-notch when it comes to professionalism, communication and expertise with our family. Patrice has become one of our most trusted doctors and takes extreme care when it comes to our concerns and care. We are Legacy lifers!

Great experience from beginning to end. Front staff is professional and kind and everyone I interacted with were very helpful and friendly. Dr. Jennifer Dharamsi is awesome!
