  58. I would have given a 5 star rating, but the telephone communications with this chain of clinics is really bad.

Looking forward to my next visit and healthier skin. I have already made a recommendation to one of my family members to her practice.

  74. I first went to them with a concern about a mole. They were very honest of what it may or may not be and shared steps they would take before doing a biopsy. It didn’t even hurt. They made sure to educate me on taking care of the area for …

  75. Probably a good doctor, but he advertises treating all kinds of dermatological needs; however, the lady who makes appointments told me he’s only seeing skin cancer patients. So, I will be looking elsewhere, unfortunately.
