This provider made me feel dumb. She made me feel my concerns were not legitimate and that I was making things up. I've had acne since my teenage years but she tells me that I do not have acne. I told her about the acne on my back. She states it is not acne. She stated I have clogged pores. She did not ask what I was using she gave me things I should try. I told her I was already using that cream. She was not personable at all. She was not friendly at all. She did not show care or concerns for my issues. There was a student that came in with her and she never introduced the student or even ask if I was okay with the student coming in. I do not recommend this provider to anyone. As an employee I felt bad because this is the care she's giving patients. They do not deserve it. She needs some classes on bedside manner and why it is important.

Melissa is excellent in her care of my skin cancer conditions. She recognizes what is normal and what needs further evaluation. I trust her completely.

During the appointment, Melissa took the time to listen carefully to my concerns and asked thoughtful questions to fully understand my situation. I never felt rushed. She explained her findings clearly, outlined the available options, and made sure I was comfortable with the plan before moving forward. What stood out most was the level of professionalism combined with genuine care. The communication was clear, the examination was thorough, and I left with a much better understanding of both the issue and the next steps. Overall, this was a very positive experience. I would not hesitate to recommend this practice to others looking for attentive, knowledgeable, and patient-centered dermatology care.

Melisa Leto has been my principal health person to protect me from advancing skin diseases. She carefully searches and then corrects or biopsy potential problems. She never misses anything. I would go to her if she were an MD also as she is that skillful.

Melissa Leto is the best provider in my opinion. I am familiar with providers in Orlando where I live, but choose to travel to Tampa just to see Ms. Leto. She has saved mi life multiple times by being the best at finding problems others may overlook.

My dermatologist is amazing. Although my skin may not be in flare up mode during the visit, she listens and cares. She made sure to ask about my overall skin, even though the visit was just for my face. That meant a lot to me because my eczema and acne prone skin is a common issue. I would recommend her to friends and family.

Honestly I love my provider she always shows so much attention and concern for my concerns, however, this visit something was off. This was very unusual I just feel like it had to be an off day.
11/17/2025
My time with the doctor was quite short, but we covered all the information necessary to inform me of next steps.

Ms. Leto did everything I expected and explained as she went along. What mor could I ask?
10/10/2025
We discussed medications I have and ones she has me on. She even is concerned about my edema. That is care
10/8/2025
Like all other dermatologist providers I have seen, the visit with the PA felt rushed. I have a family history of melanoma and the first time I had a concerning spot. It was pre-cancerous spot which the PA removed by freezing. It all happened very fast and I didn't receive aftercare instructions.
