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.

Very thankful I was recommended to see Dr. Solky
Dr. Solky and his surgical assistant Mindy immediately put me at ease and assured me that my SCC would be completely taken care of. Dr. Solky took time to explain every step during my MOHS procedure. At the conclusion of the procedure, he assured me that while the procedure was extensive, he would work with me in the coming months to minimize any evidence of the procedure. I would highly recommend Dr. Solky (and also Mindy)

Nice experience
Recently had a procedure to remove a large spot of skin cancer. The experience was amazing. I was extremely nervous with not knowing what they would find. Dr Solky was just an all around nice man. He immediately made me feel comfortable and had a great personality. He also made me laugh with his sense of humor, and what my wife would say are typical dad jokes. His staff was so friendly and in particular Jess was awesome. She was so nice in talking to me while the procedure was taking place. Thank you so much for making a tough situation a much better experience. David

Moh's surgery experience with Dr. Solkey.
I was very nervous about having surgery done on my nose. Dr. Solkey was very reassuring, put me at ease with his knowledge and experience. Three weeks out, I'm so pleased with the appearance of my nose, already part of the incision is hardly visible! Very relieved. Thank you Dr. Solkey.

I’m really happy with my experience at AP Derm. Everyone there was kind and helpful. Dr. Solky did a wonderful job with my Mohs surgery. I just had the sutures removed and I can’t believe how good it looks! I highly recommend Dr. Solky.

Dr. Solky was great. Explained every step. Had to do three cell checks. Was worried when stitches came out, but scarring was minimal. Almost invisible. Very impressed and satisfied. Also, Ashley was a true superstar!!

Dr. Solky is kind, articulate, & caring?? Today I had my sutures removed by one of his technician a young dark haired brunette(her name unknown to me). My only complaint was that she said ‘’take a sit on the patient treatment chair.’’ The white disposable chair cover was not fully covering the chair. It was on the patient’s back area but not extending on the buttocks area. I looked at her as a hint to extend it properly. I ended up pulling it down to the proper position because it was not done. As a retired NP, I felt it appropriate to show the need for patient protection from germs etc.
