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.

The office staff, medical staff and Dr. Sears were great during my procedure. Dr. Sears and staff were professional and informative. The procedure went as planned. Great people!

The final results of two facial MOHS surgeries says it all. . . Hardly any evidence noticeable of removal of basal cell CA. This Doctor is one of the best in his field. A top notch surgeon in all respects.

I had MOHS surgery a little over two weeks ago. It is scary to go into a procedure after researching it online and seeing varying results. Since my basal cell carcinoma was on my face, I was apprehensive. Dr. Sears and his staff made the experience as pleasant as possible. After healing for ten days to two weeks the scar is so small no one notices it. I would recommend Dr. Sears and Advanced Dermatology to friends and family and plan to return if I have a similar issue in the future.
