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.

Pretty big hole in scalp
Dr Geist is very knowledgeable and the staff proficient. Only complaint is that the basil cell he removed from my scalp was not large but the hole was. He did to he MOH procedure which allows them to take smaller samples until they confirm good margins. His first cut was very large and didn't require any further cutting. I was told he had 4 or 5 that morning alone. Could this have influenced the size of the incision?

I had a bad laceration on my hand which healed over time, but then became inflamed, was quite painful and would not heal. Dr. Geist explained all the possibilities including cancer and we both agreed that a biopsy should be performed. After three days, Dr. Geist called me to inform me that there was no cancer and that it was most likely an inflamed cyst. He advised me to let it resolve on its own and check back with him in a month or so. Dr. Geist is an excellent doctor. He explains things very well and keeps you in the loop. He has performed three successful MOHS surgeries on me and I highly recommend him for any skin issues you may have.
