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.

In my personal opinion and experience, Dr. Paslin is a genius and extraordinary diagnostic specialist. He's also a scientist. I feel very sorry that this type of a doctors rapidly disappears in US. I believe, such doctors need to be recognized by our society and get a public reward. His nurse Esther and his assistant Alexandra are highly educated, polite, and deeply attentive. Receptionists are very cheerful and fast working. In my personal case, finding the Dr. Paslin was a clear blessing from God. That's all what i want to say.

Completely unprofessional, total jerk, disgusting office. Save your money and find any other doctor! I walked out of the office feeling like I’d just been robbed. Waited an hour and a half past my appointment time for one of the most unpleasant 5 minute conversations I’ve ever had, only to be charged 200 dollars. I’d pay twice that to go back in time and erase this experience from my memory. This old man is a crook.

Dr. Paslin has been treating my skin for 6 months and I will stay as his patient as long as required. I am blonde and that's what describes my skin... multiple sites of squamous cell and Basal cell, actinic keratosis, Bowers disease. He has performed Moh's with a skin graft as well as excising tumors. This doctor is incredibly competent and cares a ton about me and my skin. He's kind, smart and willing to answer my questions and at times to provide reassurance.
