Pinnacle Dermatology

I had the opportunity to shadow Dr Spurlin to learn about dermatology. He is not only an excellent teacher who is passionate about dermatology but does not perform unnecessary procedures and does not push for cosmetic procedures. He is the real deal… A GEM i. The field of dermatology and as a medical provider I frequently refer my patients to his office and I’m confident they will be taken care of…

I have been a patient of Dr. Spurlin and Peau Claire for almost 10 years. He is very kind, professional, and vastly knowledgeable. He is truly outstanding! He is very friendly, light hearted, and has a great sense of humor. All of these factors contribute to his excellent bed side manner. He makes you feel comfortable and at ease. I am absolutely 100% confident in his skill and expertise, and I highly recommend Dr. Spurlin.

Terrible service. I waited 50 minutes to see the good doctor. No luck. I ended up just walking out. Nice façade but no substance.

Even if Dr. Spurlin had helped me with my skin condition, I still would never, ever return. What a horribly rude office, both the doctor and his staff. They act like they’re doing you a favor by seeing you. Too much competition to stand for that. Ew.

Dr. Spurlin removed a nickel sized pre cancer on my face that I had treated by other dermatologists every year for TEN years. It had always returned. (I did not want to use the Chemo cream because of my skin allergies.). He is Entirely professional, and even if he wasn’t… Who cares? He got rid of it. Go to your doctor to get cured, not to find a new BFF.

I’m so happy to have found this office, everything they do is with a high level of professionalism and care. I called the office and was greeted quickly and got an appointment the same week, the ladies at the front desk were friendly and efficient. The nurse was wonderful as was Dr. Kinsley. I left feeling confident and at ease, wish I found this place earlier instead of wasting time getting frustrated at others.

My entire family has been going to Dr. Spurlin for years. I have never experienced any type of unprofessionalism EVER. The doctor has always been most professional every time any of us have had an appointment. His mannerisms are pleasant and make me feel comfortble in a stressful situation. I also love his assistant, Shayna. She is very down to earth along with the doctor.

A friend of mine who has AMAZING skin recommended Pinnacle Dermatology to me. I called and had no problem making an appointment that fit my schedule (they are open late most days, so you don’t have to take off work to go in!) The entire office was very friendly, and Dr. Kinsley was extremely knowledgeable and answered all of my questions. I’m very happy with my experience and pleased that I have a new dermatology office!

I came to see Dr. Spurlin for non-​cosmetic dermatology (a mass that needed to be removed), and I couldn’t be happier with my visits.
Reading some of these other reviews, I can see how some people could mistake Dr. Spurlin’s relaxed, jovial demeanor for unprofessionalism — I, personally, don’t care for over serious doctors — but those people would be mistaken in assuming that such an appearance in Dr. Spurlin means he lacks the knowledge and serious concern about his patients that makes for a good doctor. He was very knowledgeable during our consultations, and when at one point he wasn’t sure about something, he didn’t just BS me — he went and looked it up just to be sure. That’s someone who is looking out for you.
When we were deciding how to move forward, he listened to my concerns, offered multiple options, pushing none of them, and was very gentle yet exact during the procedure that I elected. I have been to other dermatologists and GPs before for dermatological concerns, and none were as good as Dr. Spurlin. Suffice it to say that it is clear to me also after these visits that Dr. Spurlin is one of the few doctors out there who isn’t in the profession because he’s looking to push expensive procedures and get rich — he really does want to help and he puts your well being and satisfaction first. Period.
I would also like to note that, while some wait time is to be expected at any doctor’s office, I have never been kept waiting at Pinnacle. I have always been taken to my exam room within ten minutes and met with the doctor shortly thereafter. I have never felt, unlike in many other doctor’s offices, like I had been forgotten about.
And more generally speaking, his office has one of the best staff I’ve had the pleasure of working with. When I called with detailed questions about insurance costs for possible procedures, I didn’t get a surly receptionist who couldn’t be bothered to look through the paperwork, I got a friendly person who took the time to give me the best estimates based on my information (I think her name was Nicole). One of the doctor’s assistants (Shayna, I think) also stood out; she was very pleasant, was truly interested in my care, and really was working hand-​in-​hand with Dr. Spurlin to give the best and most efficient office experience they could. How many doctors’ offices have you visited where both the doctor and the other staff have stood out as exemplary?
For all the above reasons, I would highly recommend Dr. Spurlin at Pinnacle to anyone looking for a knowledgeable and caring dermatologist with an excellent bedside manner, patient-​focused values, and a great staff.

One of the worst experiences of my life. I had IPL treatments for what I was told was sun damage, it was not sun damage, it was melasma. IPL only makes this condition far, far worse. I had zig-​zags and darker spots on my face and it was far worse after I had several IPL treatments. They did not diagnose my condition correctly and after hundreds of dollars spent and painful IPL treatments it has taken me several years to undo the damage this this place has caused me. Research IPL, you will see many people who would not recommend this and I definitely would NOT recommend it for anyone with melasma, which I believe is linked to adrenal fatigue. I am not «out to get» anyone or cause any problems, I am just sharing my honest experience and trying to save others from this same devastating experience.

Disappointed.
I originally scheduled my appointment with Dr. Spurlin but had to reschedule and saw Dr. Kinsley. My pediatrician recommended this office. My son has eczema and I was hoping for a little bit more advice. The only question she asked is if we had pets. Nothing about diet, clothing, fabrics, detergents, etc, etc… She offered no real input and didn’t really seem that interested. Just as I thought would happen — steroid cream and come back in a week. I was really hoping she would change my opinion of dermatologists. To end on a positive note: I was able to get an appointment very fast and found the front desk staff to be fantastic!

I was able to get an appointment with little lead time and get in right away. The doctor and his staff were all super amazing and friendly. Everyone there really seemed to care about you as a patient. I went in for an outbreak of perioral dermatitis and could not have been happier with my treatment. I would recommend Dr. Spurlin any day. And if I lived here, he would be my resident dermatologist!
FYI; The office I visited has the same phone number but different address.
33 301 Woodward Ave — Dr. Spurlin.
