Testimonials
I was referred to Central Texas Dermatology by Fresh Dermatology after a biopsy revealed that I had some squamos cell carcinoma on my chest. I was immediately contacted by CTD and made an appointment. My meeting with the team as well as Dr. Prosise went very well. She explained to me the procedure that I would need, and promptly scheduled an appointment for me to have the procedure. This morning the procedure went quite well, and both the assistant and Dr. Prosise did an amazing job explaining everything clearly and professionally to me. I would highly recommend them to anyone with any dermatology questions or concerns!

Dr. Prosise and her wonderful staff did an excellent job with my MOHS surgery. I was visiting Texas and needed to get it done right away and they got me right in. Dr. Prosise is highly qualified and has a lovely manner that made me feel at ease. The procedure was so quick and easy I felt as if I was there for a spa treatment than a surgical procedure. Everyone was so kind and helpful. I highly recommend this practice!

Amazing staff. They make you feel right at home, which is great when you are worried about the lesion on your body. Dr. Pro’s was very knowledgeable and professional but still explained what was going on in understandable language. It is definitely worth my time to drive from Northwest Austin for the service and treatment here.

I have been going to Central Texas Dermatology for some time now, to see Dr. Emily Prosise. 1st I am very particular who I see as my Dr from just the simple vulnerability side of things. 2nd who does any form of procedure no matter how minor. Dr. Emily Prosise is amazing, from her high level of knowledge/education, wonderful skills & even her great bedside manner. The entire staff is always welcoming, friendly & patient, even at 7:30 in the morning. To highly recommend, would be a understatement. They truly care at Central Texas Dermatology.

Dr. Prosise is a wonderful physician. I’ve seen her a few times at the office and it has always been a pleasant and efficient experience. CTD’s new online store makes purchasing my go-to skincare products quick and easy, and is a great way to support a small business rather than just going to Amazon. Shipping was SO fast and couldn’t be more pleased with my overall experience!
