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.

Dismissive
Referred by a Valley rheumatologist for second opinion or injectable medication opinion as there are many forms of psoriasis ,on severe psoriasis on hands and body, waited 2 months to get in and he said “I don’t know why you are here?” Was dismissive didn’t even look at my rashes until I asked him if he needed to? It was odd. I asked to be transferred to any other dermatologist at Valley months later because I felt like no one cared about my infected skin.

Great healthcare partner!
Dr. Drimmer is caring, collaborative, and thoughtful with his diagnoses, recommendations, and treatments. As a fair-skinned individual who lived in California for many years, I intend to continue to trust and depend on Dr. Drimmer for my skincare, hopefully for years to come!

Not the best experience
I went to see Dr David Drimmer for the first time. He was very dismissive and came off as condescending. He did not make me feel heard or in good hands. Could’ve just been having a bad morning, but I would not recommend him.

Terrific Experience
I went to see Dr. Drimmer for a growth that was concerning me. He diagnosed me with skin cancer and did a small surgery. He was so kind and comforting about the whole process. I'll be going back to his office and I'm having my husband go in next month.

Do not trust this doctor
This doctor is not to be trusted. He ask for cash payment and then sends a bill through your insurance and other payment collection agency if you feel you were not told that the cash payment was just a portion of the fee he would collect. No a reputable doctor.
