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.

Successful Skin Cancer Outcome
This was a follow up visit either Dr. Samie. Originally, it was thought that I would need MOHS surgery for cancer in my ear. During my first visit with Dr. Samie, he advised that I try to use a cream to take care of the cancerous cells. After 2-3 months using the cream, my situation was much better. During my follow visit after 3 months, my ear was clear.

Dr Samie listens to the patient. He explains what he is doing and makes MOHS surgery less frightening. Use sunblock!

Excellent Treatment and Care in Every Respect
As an 'expert patient' who's had skin cancers for over 40 years, I feel totally qualified to highly recommend Dr. Samie and his staff. The quality of Dr. Samie's work is outstanding. The results of his work are excellent each time. He has performed Mohs surgery on my face--it looks perfect. The other, more standard, surgeries he's done are just as good. Dr. Samie is extremely courteous and kind; extremely knowledgeable and helpful. His staff, administrative and nursing, are all just great at what they do-very competent, very personable, kind and courteous--and all good humored too. How did so many good people all wind up in the same place?Must also add there's really no waiting time-appoint time given is appointment time kept. Find that really amazing. Surgery is nobody's idea of fun but Dr. Samie and his staff manage to make the experience as painless and decent as possible. If some skin problem needs amending, this is the place to go.

Great doctor
He is an expert in his field and has a wonderful bedside manner. During the surgical procedure he chatted with me, which made it go by so fast. I was nervous about how to take care of the surgical wound, and he was very reassuring. I would definitely recommend him.
