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’ve been to at least three other dermatologists for my eczema without any success. At best, I was told to use lotion more regularly. Finally, I went to Dr. Achtman and he prescribed me the medication necessary to finally get rid of my patches of eczema, one of which has stubbornly refused to go away for over 20 years. Highly recommend him.

Dr. Achtman and Dr. McConnell have saved my life. Dr.Achtman is always kind and takes time to examine your skin. He has helped clear my skin of acne. Dr. McConnell has treated my stubborn dark spots that did not want to go away. And now they are almost all gone. I have my confidence back thanks to them. They always make you feel welcomed, never rushed. And answer all my questions with detail. And extremely patient. I have had to take my daughters with me a couple of times. The best service ever!

Yes I would recommend Dr, Achtman. Now days doctors really only care about 2 things 1.) Making money 2.) Not getting sued. It's hard to find a doctor that really does care. He cares, he follow ups and Kathy his nurse called or texted me every day to see how my husband was doing.

Dr. Achtman cleared up our teen's daughter acne when several other doctors could not. He asks questions and truly listens. He also helped her with a scar. My husband resists medical visits of any kind, but he trusts Dr. Achtman and got help with a mole. He's a great doctor. We can't thank him and his wonderful staff enough!

He never explains about details of treatment and after a month, I received another bill for pathology, that I have never been told about before.
