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.

I love everyone in the office. Everyone is nice! I always feel at ease going to these appointments. I haven't had a bad experience at all. I highly recommend Dr. Hruza!

Dr. Hruza puts her patients through unnecessary procedures and mental anguish due to her practice of very excessive biopsying. She and her NPs tell you that it is okay to feel like a “pin cushion” and sometimes does not ask if it’s okay to cut something off of you before she does. This wastes precious healthcare dollars and costs the patient an absolute fortune as she keeps you coming back frequently. It often leads to completely avoidable cancer scares as well. My experience was truly a shame, please find a different dermatologist.

Dr. Hruza seems to care more about your overall health than just about one small issue. She’s a great doctor and very competent. I would highly recommend and I know several people who have been going to her for years and they are all very happy with her and the staff at Clayton dermatology.

I recently found her and her nurse practitioners when I moved to Saint Louis. She was willing to help get medications covered by my insurance that worked. I have had psoriasis for a very long time and have been suffering with pain in my hands that I did not know could be related. She took the time to explain everything to me which I appreciated. WOW! She was a great help and Im finally getting my skin better and my arthritis.

Dr. Hruza, simply put, is a physician that truly cares about the well being of her patients. She takes the time to listen to your concerns, and treatment requirements. I would consider her to be one of, if not the, best physicians that have treated me over the years. I have referred friends and family over the years,and Will continue to do so.

I tried to give this doctor the benefit of any doubt had but after receiving several odd interactions, haphazard appointments and a terrible experience with their billing department, I am moving on... They made a mistake in scheduling and continued to bill me over and over. I could not contact them during the day (because they are closed most of the work-day), so I wrote a letter seeking to remedy the situation. Instead, I received a "collections threat". Poor business overall. Don't bother!

Dr Hruza is always professional and accurate in her diagnosis. She is compassionate and makes every attempt to minimize discomfort during procedures. She always thoroughly explains the procedure beforehand. I have been going to her for many years for everything from acne to skin cancer to cosmetic concerns. I highly recommend her!!

Dr Hruza is wonderful. She is caring, knowledgeable, professional and efficient. They were able to squeeze me in because I was very concerned about a spot on my chest. She froze it off and informed me of the expectations. I have already referred my mom to schedule an appointment with Dr Hruza. Five Stars!!!
