The doctor was friendly and very thorogh -- I didn't feel rushed.
#12025-05-17I liked how they wanted to know about past experiences and history and seemed to take that into account and also thought outside the box. Very personable, friendly, yet right to the point.
#22025-04-02The docotr was very nice and helpful!
#32025-07-28Both the doctor and medical assistant were very knowledgable.

#52012-06-14 15:35:48doctor very friendly and professional
#62025-10-31I did not have to wait to be seen at all. From the start of my visit until I walked out the door the doctor & staff were very professional & took the tim to answer my questions and listen to me also. I have been seen by other dermatologist and I was defibately impressed here.+++A+++ Higly recommended.
#72025-06-26Everyone was very nice!
#82025-05-01the fact that the garbage cans in the bathroom opened electronically.
#92012-10-16 11:13:16The doctor was very thorough and pleasant. Having Melissa take notes was an excellent strategy for covering so much information in a short amount of time.

(answers:373)
you are the best!
#12011-08-10 10:32:44no suggestions, you are doing a good job
#22025-02-17When making the initial appointment and then calling to try to get it moved up (our of fear that I had a melanoma), I didn't think that one of the booking person(s) was particularly helpful or reassuring.
#32025-04-11Everything was perfect today
#42010-10-05 10:42:21Appointments on Fridays
#52010-09-27 09:26:48I am new here, so I don't have any suggestions at this time
#62025-06-15No complaints at all, but since you asked, receptionist today could have been "warmer"
#72010-08-25 10:41:35music in office was just okay
#82025-09-15NOPE; COULD NOT IMPROVE ON YOUR ARTISTRY IN HEALING ATMOSPHERE AND MEDICAL ATTENTIVENESS.
#92025-11-12just continue listening which is so important
