Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

I have seen other doctors at this practice but recently had my first appointment with Dr. Anthony. While the skin exam was thorough, he took it upon himself (after examining my whole body) to make absolutely unsolicited comments about me having to "do something" about my weight. I had to inform him I was down a significant amount already from my highest weight, I'm active every day. He suggested I watch it with the junk food. WHAT?? Truly could not believe it.

I have never met a doctor more arrogant and condescending. He smirks and makes these little comments that are meant to make you feel dumb. Who are these people saying that he has great bedside manner??!! I left feeling so belittled and promised myself that I would never return!

Saw him when I was 18 years old. He would have me sit in this small waiting room for hours and call my insurance company multiple times to complain that they were not paying him enough for the procedures he performed. He said “they won’t listen to me. The patient has to be the one to complain.” I was young and naive. Didn’t know what I was doing. The insurance company said the prices are what he agreed to when he signed on to be a “preferred provider.” He was mad at me for not convincing them.

I don't really know if he is a good doctor or not, I only had a minor procedure done, but his front desk staff is rude is unhelpful, and the wait time is about 2 hours, not including the procedure, which is ridiculous.

Dr. Benedetto has been my dermatologist for over 17 years. Maybe 20 years. He has the GREATEST bedside manner. He listens. He cares. He's understanding and VERY knowledgeable about his field. He's always careful not to prescribe anything that may be too harsh. Very accommodating. He's awesome!
