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.

My mom and my aunt have both been seeing her for years. They are both giving glowing reviews. I plan to make an appointment soon.

Scheduling is Terrible
Originally made an appointment for my daughter in December for March and then 48 hours before her appointment was canceled and rescheduled for May. Then today, was called and had to reschedule due to "changing her schedule" and is now pushed back to July. 7 month wait to see her? Her PCP recommended her but so far not impressed as whoever does her scheduling needs to do a better job. Which sucks as that means when we "finally" see her I'll be eyeing her like a hawk to see if she was even worth the time.

This was only my first visit but I was extremely impressed with Dr. Garritson. She was performed a thorough exam and was very attentive to my concerns. Dr. Garritson explained my condition clearly, ensure I understood my options, and helped me to decide the best treatment plan. I've been to other dermatologists in the area and this is the first time I feel like the doctor actually listened to my concerns and looked at my health holistically.
