A little Dissappointed but Friendly Service.

After reading all the wonderful reviews about Dr. Snyder, I decided to schedule my very first dermatologist appointment with her. I was very excited to be able to afford seeing a dermatologist about my sun spots and discoloration on my face. When Dr. Synder walked into the room, she kindly shook my hand with one of those "limp" hand shakes. Dr. Synder was very nice and to-the-point. I asked her what could be done to help with my sun spots and skin discoloration on my arms and face. She immediately recommended to me a product line called OBAGI. She said the skin care kit will reduce the uneven skin color, the bumpiness of my forehead and even get rid of my "little mustache" I had above my lip. I liked her "blunt" and truthful personality. She spent only a few minutes introducing me to OBAGI and quickly had one of her skin specialist bring in the Product Line. It sounded great on my skin since the doctor highly recommened it. When I asked about the skin discoloration for my arms that was not iritable or itchy, the doctor wrote me a prescription for it. Turns out that I had to pay OUT OF POCKET $300 for the OBAGI products that WAS NOT covered by my Insurance. And when I filled my prescription at the pharmacy, it turned out that the doctor prescibed me CORTIZONE, which is a cream for itchy/irritable skin problems. I was very disappointed overall with my visit and did not get anything accomplished. I just recently saw my 2nd Dermatoglist who truly listened to my needs and prescibed me something for my sun spots and skin discoloration that didn't cost my hundreds of dollars out of pocket. OBAGI was a huge disappointment and wasteful. Dont let anyone talk you into buying this product line before you do your research.

• Pros: Friendly Doctor/Staff, Nice Office
• Cons: Young staff, doesn't seem very knowledgable.

Best Dr's Experience

I love Dr. Snyder's office. Both Dr. Snyders are extremely personable and caring. I wouldn't think of going anywhere else. Her staff is amazing and accomodating.

Respectful, thoughtful care

Dr. Renee Snyder is thorough, kind, and conservative - by that I mean, she doesn't take chances with my skin, and I appreciate that! She is respectful and gentle and a pleasure to work with. I recommend her to friends all the time. Not to mention, she always has the latest People Magazines.

Good Dermatologist - Caring Doctor

by mwtree at Citysearch

Originally, a year and a half ago I went to Dr. Snyder because she was the only office I could get an appointment with here in Austin. If the fact that I am still going to her for my on-going skin allergy says anything than I think it is quit obvious that she is a good dermatologist and a caring doctor.

When I first went to see her I had let a skin irritation become severely infected. She looked over the infection thoroughly, prescribed me two types of medication and sent me on my way with instructions to call if it did not get better. Well, I am not the best at making doctor appointments, and after a little over a week I got a call from Dr. Snyder personally inquiring on the status of my infection. The infection had gotten better but what we ultimatly discovered was that the initial irritation was eczema. If she had not called and followed up with the flakey young woman with eczema, I would have gone quit a long time in pain and bewilderment.

This has been my consistent expereince with Dr. Snyder and her staff (they are always kind to me on the phone and willing to work with my schedule) and therefore would recommend her to anyone in the central and north Austin area (I would expand that area, but with gas prices as they are -- ouch).

AMAZING MD

by gray515 at Citysearch

I have never meet a more honest doctor than Dr. Snyder. Her and her staff are always prompt, pleasant, and professional. I recommend her to my friends and family frequently and have never had a poor experience. AND, her husband is a plastic surgeon in the same office!!! It's a one-stop deal!!!

Great, personable doctor

by jaykim311 at Citysearch

I just read jholl's experience with Dr. Snyder and I have to say I am surprised. I have been a patient of Dr. Snyder's for about a year and have come into her office for multiple issues. I have called and bugged the office many times with my problems and the staff and Dr. Snyder are always very nice and patient with my needs. Dr. Snyder is professional and will tell you like it is without being ambiguous. Honesty is very important to me in doctor. My experience with Dr. Snyder leads me to believe that jholl's experience was isolated and in no way represents an accurate portrayal of Dr. Snyder and her practice.

• Pros: Most of the time, I have a very short wait in the waiting room.
• Cons: The parking garage is paid parking.

Great Doctor

I've seen Dr Snyder for several different dermatological needs and she's been consistent, thorough, personable, and she can translate technical terms into words that I can comprehend! I trust her and do recommend her.
