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.

Excellent Physician
I began seeing Dr. Skelton in 2011/2012 for issues I was having with my cycle. She took the time to really listen to what I was experiencing and worked step by step with me to determine what the root cause was. She was also very conscientious about making sure that all the i's were dotted and all the t's were crossed so that there would be no issues with the insurance company when it was determined a hysterectomy was needed. She made sure I understood all of my options, and didn't hesitate to offer a referral for a second opinion if I chose to get one. Her follow-up care after my hysterectomy was excellent, as well, making sure I had the time I needed to fully recover before going back to work. I enjoyed her dry wit and no-nonsense attitude, she treated me as an equal instead of an 'overemotional female' as male physicians had done in the past. She does not suffer fools lightly, and I admire her even more for it. She changed my life for the better and I am eternally grateful!

Absolutely horrible!
Went to her once and that was enough. Prescribed the wrong medication and after I picked it up it was ‘oh sorry that wasn’t supposed to have been sent’ $140. later. Didn’t prescribe my normal medications. My doctor of 30+ years had retired was my only reason for being there. Never again!

Thank you, Dr. Skelton
I suffered 16 months, saw four different doctors and Dr. Skelton found the cause. I am now completely healed and feel normal. Dr. Skelton is amazing and I am so happy that I found her. Thank you, Dr. Skelton

Doesn't Listen, Rushed
Dr. Skelton, while kind, is not a doctor that I will return to. She does not listen & is quick to brush off symptoms with simple solutions, even if those symptoms have been ongoing and the "simple" solutions have been attempted. Additionally, she is far too "casual" in her setting. When I visited I was told my clothes were the reason for my symptoms (which has already been ruled out by a different doctor) and told that my I didn't need to "dress for my husband," which also was absolutely not true - I was wearing shorts & a t-shirt that day. Regardless of what I was wearing, her clothes were dirty and she seemed like she didn't want to be there. I know we all have bad days but this was not the confidence I needed. I returned to her once out of necessity & even that visit didn't go great. I am finding a new OBGYN currently.

I am now having a high risk pregnancy due to her negligence of finding I was anemic and not treating it. I could kinda feel dizzy and I asked multiple times how my hemoglobin was I always got the same answer it was fine. I started going into preterm labor due to a fever and babies heart was dangerously high. She sent me home. Finally I went to a different hospital got all the results I needed and was finally treated. Now I'm at loma Linda with a doctor who actually knows what she is doing.

I saw her 5 years ago, had been miserable for several years with adhesions from fibroid tumor surgery.. She said it was probably time for a hysterectomy. I was so grateful. I thought I'd have to beg for one! It took over three hours b/c I was so messed up! She is a saint and probably never gets to hear it. Oh, and my husband was so nervous about the surgery he asked about a billion questions, it's stressful going under the knife, sometimes all the questions in the world aren't enough.
