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.

Clinic Visit with Dr. Craig Elmets
My visit with Dr. Elmets was exceptional in every way. He provided plenty of time for understanding and discussion of my issues. Dr. Elmets is an excellent physician, and I will return to him for all dermatological issues. Also, the assisting resident physician, Dr. Smith, was excellent as well.

I have had Ocular Cicatricial Pemphigoid for five years. This is a very rare autoimmune decease in the eyes. While I use an ophthalmologist for eye care, Dr. Craig Elmets is the primary dermatologist that has provided my drug treatment care during this time. He has been very compassionate and demonstrated a sincere interest in healing my decease. He is very familiar with the latest drugs and responds appropriately as my condition varies in intensity. I respect the fact that he informs the patient when there are multiple solutions for treatment. He certainly has not only my respect, but my appreciation for his care.
