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.

Terrible Dr. & Staff
Saw him on Tuesday April 2 and they were too busy to collect my $35 co pay and told me they would bill me. Received a call today that if I do not pay his co pay right now over the phone that he will no longer see me. The Dr. is subpar at best and to have your staff call me and threaten me is uncalled for. I’ve never not paid them.

My wife and I have been going to Dr. Handler for more than ten years for regular dermatology checkups and some minor skin surgeries. His manner is always friendly but business-like, and all the work he has done has been excellent. In 2013 my wife was misdiagnosed with a sebaceous cyst by another doctor; Dr. Handler correctly discerned that it was not a cyst, referred her to a specialist for what turned out to be Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma. That was potentially lifesaving, and we are very grateful to him for that. Dr. Handler gets 5 stars plus from us.

Went for a skin check. I've had two bouts of skin cancer and do a lot of research on my own. Every picture I see of a dermatologist doing a skin check shows the doctor using a magnifying glass. I also know that a complete skin check should include checking the patient's scalp. Neither of these happened with Dr. Handler. My scalp wasn't checked until I asked him to do it. He is not the only dermatologist I've seen in Vegas, and have not been satisfied with any of them. I'll keep trying.

If It weren't for Dr. Handler, I would have long ago looked elsewhere. Wish I could say the same about the office staff. It just took 40 minutes on hold for someone to deal with the fact that a Rx that the nurse supposedly called in for me on Monday was actually was not processed. They are so busy that they don't even bother following up with patients anymore. I miss old medicine.
