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.

Always a good experience.
I visit Olympic Dermatology for skin cancer removal and maintenance. I have always found all of the doctors and staff to be professional and competent and I appreciate the quality healthcare. The space is squeaky clean and has a welcoming atmosphere. I recommend Dr. Brazil and his clinic regularly.

Dissatisfied in Olympia, WA – Sep 09, 2018

This office could have received a 5 star rating for me as the surgery I had went well. However, I was not made aware of a pathology lab that is required from this office for all surgical removals until AFTER my surgery was done, That resulted in an additional lab bill of almost $200 that was not necessary. Part of the reason it was that high was because this office use an "out-of-network" lab, and had I known the pathology was required I could have made sure they use an "in network" lab.

Extremely poor. I went in for a mole removal and skin check. The PA that saw me refused to do a skin check as they only do this for a history of cancer (not preventatively). I have since been to a new dermatologist and have had a mole removed that was moderately atypical and needed further margin removal. Had Dr. Brazil's office done a skin check on me this area may have been removed last year. If you want to see a dermatologist who is interested in preventing skin cancer don't go here.

Dr. Brazil, I believe and the opinions of 5 or more of his colleagues misdiagnosed my condition. They all said to a man they would not have treated me the way Brazil did. I had a condition on my face and as he and another Dr. were examing me chuckled as they told me why yes, it does look like cancer. He went on to treat me well knowing that the medication I had been taking was detremental to the treatment he was about to use on me. Cancer was found as I was transferred to another clinc and exten
