What is Semaglutide?
Semaglutide is a groundbreaking drug that has garnered significant attention in the medical community. Known for its exceptional efficacy, semaglutide belongs to a class of medications called glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs). This FDA-arppoved medication has been widely used to manage type 2 diabetes and are to be highly effective in controlling blood sugar levels. One of the remarkable qualities of semaglutide is its ability to stimulate the release of insulin from the pancreas, promoting better blood sugar control. Additionally, it slows down the digestion process, which helps regulate the absorption of glucose into the bloodstream. This unique dual mechanism of action makes Semaglutide an invaluable tool in managing type 2 diabetes. In addition to its role in diabetes management and weight loss, Semaglutide has also displayed promising outcomes in cardiovascular health. Studies have revealed that Semaglutide can reduce the risk of major adverse cardiovascular events in patients with type 2 diabetes and established cardiovascular disease. This discovery highlights the broader therapeutic potential of Semaglutide beyond glycemic control.

Oak Dermatology Reviews
Rhonda Collins (NP) is absolutely amazing. Patient, Friendly , Brilliant. Ask excellent questions and has been able to get to the bottom of my son’s on going skin issues. Highly recommend!
The whole staff was incredible! I had Dr. Alhadidi. She gave me lots of explanations and thought processes for what was going on with my skin. She gave me several treatment options and progressions (like if A doesnt work, we'll try B, and if it still doesnt work, let's do C). Other dermatologists would just give me one treatment option with no explanation. Now, my skin feels really great. I still can't believe it, because nothing else worked.
I've been coming here for 3+ years for laser hair removal and totally recommend it. Hannah makes me feel at ease and comfortable as well as answered all my questions pertaining to laser hair removal. Office is clean and checkout is a breeze. Building is easy to navigate.
Oak Dermatology is an amazing practice! I met with Dr.Hsu for a consultation and absolutely loved how thorough he was in explaining particular procedures to me, given the areas I pointed out that I wanted improvement in on my face. Once I came in for my treatment, him and his staff spent so much time explaining everything, including post care treatment. They are so nice and they are amazing in how they treat their patients. They don’t rush at all and truly can tell they care and treat everything equally as important no matter what you’re in the office for that day. Dr.Hsu was so great during my laser treatment and gentle throughout the entire procedure. He answered all my questions and did not leave the room until he was sure I was ok. I would absolutely highly recommend and will definitely continue to use Oak Dermatology for any future cosmetic (and medical) need! You will not be disappointed!!!
The best dermatology team I've ever had! Stephanie and everyone were so friendly and creative in getting my skincare back on track. I have no more acne and my Rosacea is getting better by the day. I genuinely couldn't ask for a better skincare team to have my back, literally!
