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.

Caring Physician
I have been going to Dr. Chiara in Milford for many years as I have a history of malignant melanoma lesion on my leg. He has also helped me with adult acne. Most recently he and his staff helped me get through a very bad case of persistent poison ivy allergy with rash and infection. When I called the office, they got me in the same day. They immediately gave me the correct medication and then had me return within two days as it was very bad case. It improved dramatically with the medications that were prescribed and administered in office. He not only did that but he was so concerned as it was coming up on a holiday weekend so he gave me a number where he could be reached in case it worsened over the long weekend. I am certain that the prompt and correct care I received made a huge difference in my healing. His staff is very friendly too. I am so impressed with the care I received. Definitely go see him if you need dermatology care.

I visited Dr. Chiara's Milford office a couple of weeks ago. I was greeted by a friendly, professional staff as soon as I entered. His nurse was helpful and kind. My former Dermatologist Dr. Blum had retired and I had a hard time finding someone to fill his shoes. Dr. Chiara did that and more. He is incredibly knowledgeable and took the time to answer all of my questions. Highly recommend.

My Son hadn’t seen him in a yr because he went as needed . He got covid so we called Dr Chiara because of a rash . The dr was closed but returned our emergency call and even immediately set up a tele health visit to diagnose my sons covid rash . He even called back 3 x that week over a weekend . None of the other doctors called to check on him . I was very impressed with Dr Chiara . His staff is great also!

I have never written a review, good or bad, about anything on the internet before. That being said, time after time I have a horrible experience when I deal with this practice. My average wait time in the office is over an hour, and is always met with the same excuse of "It's one of those days". After being called back in the office on "one of these days" I can hear him idly talking with his staff instead of treating patients. The only reason I stayed this long was insurance reasons.
