I cannot recommend Yelena Terushkin, PA-C highly enough. After another dermatologist at a different practice misdiagnosed my skin concerns, I sought a second opinion with Yelena. She identified both a melanoma and a basal cell carcinoma that had been missed, and I genuinely believe that decision changed my life. As frightening as the diagnosis was, Yelena handled every step with incredible compassion, professionalism, and empathy. She took the time to thoroughly explain my pathology results, walk me through each treatment option, answer every question I had, and ensure I understood exactly what came next. I never felt rushed, and I always felt like she truly cared about me as a person, not just a patient. She also emphasized the importance of routine skin checks moving forward, helping me understand that early detection is one of the most powerful tools we have in preventing serious outcomes. That education has completely changed the way I approach my health. I will always be grateful to Yelena for her expertise, her kindness, and her diligence. She caught what someone else missed, and because of her, I have the opportunity to move forward with treatment early. If you're looking for a dermatology provider who is exceptionally knowledgeable, compassionate, and meticulous, I cannot recommend Yelena Terushkin enough. She has earned my trust and gratitude for life.

Yelena came highly recommended by one of my coworkers. Now after two microneedling sessions, I can honestly say that my skin looks smoother and healthier with noticeable improvement.

I finally tried microneedling after seeing coworkers get amazing results. The effect is WOW!! Dr. Terushkin warned me about a couple of days of redness but the results after that are totally worth it.

I just had a cyst removed; it was an amazing experience overall, doctor was kind, gentle and very emphatetic. Did a magnificent job closing me up as well; as I needed stitching and had previous bad experiences on the matter, I am utterly relieved by the craftsmanship. 5/5! I totally recommend

I went for Botox and fillers and she has completely transformed my face in the best way. My forehead is now totally smooth with zero wrinkles, and my jawline looks so much more lifted and defined. She subtly reshaped my whole facial structure without it looking obvious or overdone at all. I still look like me, just a fresher, more rested version. The whole procedure was quick with literally zero discomfort, and her eye for detail is insane. I keep getting compliments and feel so much more confident. If you’re on the fence, just book it, she’s the real deal! 🙌
