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 paid for someone to look at my body while making really awkward small talk. I went in to have my mole examined and hopefully removed but instead he looked at it and pretty much told me that its natural and I should think "long and hard" before getting it removed and that "other young girls have had their moles removed and got mad at me (Dr. Connolly) for the scar". It came across as a bit condescending and sexist. I've had my whole life to think about getting this removed so I'm not sure why his comments were necessary especially because it's my body not his. "It's unnoticeable" is not an acceptable response from a doctor. I notice it and wanted it off. Do not come here for mole removal. Maybe for acne or other skin issues, but it was a waste of my money and time. The doctor stunk, but the receptionist is very nice!

Very compassionate young man. He explained in detail the various procedures that were being done. Very relaxing, stress free atmosphere. His associate—I believe her name is Meghan—was very informative, and understanding.
