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.

He is a jewel. Professional and Kind.
Long story short? His rapport, approachability, expertise with a Staff that apparently is vetted to be just as good as it gets at a doctors office that returns calls is worth every minute of my hour drive to get there.

The staff & doctor were pleasant but focused in on one spot rather than the full body scan that I was there for. Seemed like everybody was in a rush to schedule me for surgery rather than give any attention to other areas of concern.

Doctor Towry is a true gem!!! Takes time to clearly, patiently and kindly explain situations, diagnosis and care. Procedures are done in a timely manner. People skills top notch as are his staffs'. They are courteous, fun, and extremely helpful. Spotless and light decor throughout the office. Both my husband and I were so impressed with everything about the people, the practice and the quality of medical examinations and surgery.

When I saw Dr Towry for the first time, I was amazed that he went right to work and removed a growth from my hand. He was knowledgeable about my problem and has worked with me since to make sure it is healed. He and his staff are very friendly and easy to talk to, and his office is very nice and easy to find. I would definitely recommend Dr Towry to anyone needing a dermatologist.

Both my husband & I have seen Dr. Towry for skin conditions, and are really impressed with the doctor and his care. My husband had a mole removed from his face, with no scarring! When I saw Dr. Towry, it was for an existing irritated area on my neck that wouldn't heal; at that appointment, the doctor took a sample for biopsy and sealed the area. I had little-to-no pain at all! I recommend Dr. Towry for his professional and friendly attitude; his office staff is so helpful, too.

Dr. Towry is such a thoughtful, caring and very knowledgeable dermatologist. ;I would recommend him highly to anyone looking for a dermatologist. As a new patient I was so glad that he thoroughly explained what my diagnosis was and what was needed to be done.
