Wow, I got there early and they were able to see me immediately. I got in and out in no time! It probably helped that I filled out most of my forms on Zocdoc, so I recommend doing that before you go in. The doc was very knowledgable and pretty cool guy. I also like that he sent me home with a care plan paper for me to refer to and also tips to help my skin get better.
