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 was blown away by how much my health and quality of life could improve by seeing a “skin” specialist. Dr. Thornfeldt is extremely knowledgeable and more thorough than any doctor I have ever seen. I’m so grateful to be a patient at CT Derm.

Dr Thornfeldt is a very very intelligent doctor, not just in Dermatology, but in so many other areas of health, nutrition and medicine! He has treated my skin cancers for the past 20 years, and he is our "go to" referral for friends and family when they have a medical issue that has been difficult to diagnose! Dr Carl is irreplaceable to our community!

Dr Thornfeldt is very straightforward and smart. I didn’t just want to be treated I wanted to know the ‘why’s’. I feel like he delivered and gave me a thorough tour of my diagnosis. While it will take time to see the results of my extensive treatment plan I feel that I could not be in better hands. Hard to get in to, worth the wait in my opinion.

Dr Carl has been treating me since I was 13. I’m now 49. He recently diagnosed an underlying autoimmune disease that, until now, no other Dr has been able to figure out. Because of him I not only will have a longer life but a BETTER life. He also treats my parents, Grandfather and my children. I feel profoundly blessed to have in in our community. I would follow him to the end of the earth if needed. I’m beyond grateful for him and as an RN he is one one the finest physicians I have yet to meet

Dr. Thornfeldt is a very caring doctor and he is very thorough in explaining your treatment plan. I was diagnosed with a rare form of skin cancer "Cutaneous T-Cell Lymphoma". I am so thankful that he is up to date with current medicine that is available to treat this rare cancer.

After years of frustration & searching for solutions, working with doctors to resolve problematic atopic dermatitis onset by Fungal, Extreme Peeling, Cracking of Ears with Constant Allergy Issues I was fortunate to walk into Dr. Thornfeldt's office. Dr. Thornfeldt performed a real diagnosis and treatment of the problem. My wife couldn't believe the change. Hats off to Dr. Thornfeldt and his professional staff!

I believe Dr. Thornfeldt is one of the best Dermatologists in the Country. He is always up the latest research and provides excellent care for his patients. I have been seeing him for approximately 20 years and feel he has continued to stay on top of all my skin issues including prevention. I have also used the Epionce Products he help invent and feel those are essential in keeping my skin cancer issues at bay.

I have been a patient of Dr. Thornfeldt for over 30 yrs. He has helped me tremendously. I would have had some very serious problems without his help. He is extremely through and knowledgable and explains procedures to you very well. I have a ton of confidence in his abilities. I will not go to anyone else.

Make sure ALL costs for treatment are discussed up front and what you will be responsible for. A family member received multiple light treatments for Psoriasis, insurance paid their portion which wasn't what was quoted and ended up with a $5,000.00 bill. Started a payment plan and sought a second opinion for treatment as light therapy not working. Immediately sued for FULL payment, office contacted, would not consider larger monthly payments, wages garnished at 25%, HUGE financial drain family!
