Her actual name is Sandra Lee, but she is so popular in her field of dermatology that she is known by most people as Dr. Pimple Popper. In 2015, Dr. Lee began to provide a window into her job by filming dermatological procedures -- some quite gruesome, like blackhead extractions and cyst dissections -- and posting them to her website and across other social media outlets. Lo and behold, Lee gained a prominent online fan base, including a YouTube channel with more than 3 million followers called "Popaholics." Now comes a reality show on TLC, which says Lee is a "celebrity who has pioneered the fastest growing medical fascination in decades."

Pimple Popper delivers that blast of feel-good warmth you want from a makeover show, as the patients offer tearful post-procedural testimonials about how Dr. Lee changed their life for the better. Go to Full Review Steve Kilgallon The Post NZ 01/18/2019
She can't explain it, and nor can I, but the whole thing is curiously, shamefully, addictive. Go to Full Review Megan Decker Refinery29 01/04/2019
The boils they carry are massive. The cysts are bubbling up to balloon-sized. But it's the people underneath the incredible lumps and growths that make the show worth watching. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Christian E @RT49552280 01/27/2024 Between the disgusting dirty demands of dermatology are some genuine sprites of humanity. That being said, this show would be better if you popped your eyes out. At least she's a real doctor, pop it Dr. Phil. See more 10/12/2020 I love to see this program in the afternoon. I've seen it many times and I never get tired See more Read all reviews
