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.

Dr. Skinner is very caring, he is genuinely concerned about his patients. He has a fantastic bedside manner. He does a thorough job making sure you understand what he is doing and explaining the results of all tests and surgeries he has performed. I highly recommend him as a doctor and a surgeon. He is very trustworthy and very easy to talk to. I trust him with my life, he has been my doctor for 9 years. Thank you Dr. Skinner for making my family and I feel so comfortable and relaxed. His staff is very courteous and professional. I really appreciate everyone! They’re all very helpful.

Terrific surgeon
Dr. Skinner and his staff has helped me every step of the way with a chronic condition I’ve been dealing with for the last couple of years. I’m healthier for being in his care. Highly recommended!

Excellent Surgeon
Dr Skinner was skilled and professional. There was one staff member who was consistently shaming and oddly manipulative. Observed this while she was on phone with another client & finally with me when cancelling an unnecessary follow-up. Never any problems with insurance or copays, etc. Other staff are friendly and knowledgeable. Office is clean & welcoming.

Very caring and knowledgeable
Dr. Skinner has performed laparoscopic cholecystectomies on my husband and son and both were done fantastically. He was so thorough and caring throughout the whole process. This is definitely a surgeon you want if you ever need one. I would recommend him to absolutely everyone I know. He also performs screening colonoscopies and EGDs, which is very convenient.

I love Dr. Skinner. He performed my appendectomy and I had absolutely no issues from that surgery. He is very pleasant and easy to talk to. He also encouraged me to get a mammogram and a colonoscopy, which I have needed for a long time.

Don't go here unless you want your healthcare to be treated like a joke. This doctor was nothing but an absurd waste of time and money.

The surgeon had performed a minor surgery on our daughter, removing a small pin stuck in her foot. The surgery experience was fine, the doctor was friendly, appointment was easily made. Things went south on the post-op appointment. We explicity asked the staff if there would be a co-pay for the post-op office visit to remove the stitches and we were informed that the visit is part of the procedure and there will not be any co-pay. After the visit we got an EOB from our insurance stating that we owed a co-pay for that visit. A few week after that we got a bill from the Dr's office. Upon following up, the staff very rudely denied ever telling us that there won't be a co-pay for that visit. The staff was very insensitively reminded us that it could have been worse, "Your daughter's foot could have been amputated" were her words in addition to reminding us that "be thankful you have insurance". If you ever want to be misguided and misinformed, you should look to speak to Dr Skinner's staff

The best thing I think you should do is STAY AWAY.... He did my hernia repair, or what should have been and have had lots to problems. When I had a scan of my abdomen it showed problems but he said the scan came back OK....
