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.

Best Dermatologist
Dr. Mat is one of the best doctors I’ve ever had the pleasure of seeing and working with over the years. Before I start my review, I feel I need to say a few words 1stI have a hard time understanding some of the reviews that have been posted, as none of what I’ve read in these negative reviews have ever happened to me in either the first few times I saw him in Elizabeth City or later and now in Edenton. He has always seen me on time or within a few minutes, has always taken the time to answer all my questions and explain everything to me, he’s always been very helpful and he has never been concerned about money. When I asked him once about the cost of something, he said he had no idea and I would have to ask the lady up front or the billing department. He doesn’t push the products that are for sale in his office, so I can’t understand the comments about his love of money. Merry Christmas All!

GreatDoctor! I’ve been to many dermatologists due to frequent squamous cell skin cancer lesions. He is the only doc who will make sure cancer cells are gone when he does the biopsy. I appreciate so much that when I get a skin lesion I can get an appointment quickly. Complaints about overbooking or wait times may be due to the fact that he cares very much for his skin cancer patients health. I drive 60 miles to see him and I’ve found out the hard way that he’s totally worth the drive. Can’t say enough nice things about him I’m fortunate to have found him.

More concerned with billable dollars than patient care, overbooks all the time. I went to see him about Rosacea (face condition). I have very little sun exposure and do not use a tanning bed. He was more interested in whether or not I had a flu shot and giving me a full body scan than addressing the medical condition I went to see him for. He expects patients to wait an hour to see him, all the time. Overbooking is the way he runs his office, because it seems to be all about his making money

I've seen several dermatologists during my 14 years on the Outer Banks. Dr. Math is the best by far. He is cheerful, knowledgeable, competent, courteous, concerned about one's overall health, and, despite being very busy, spends time with his patients. This is why we drive sixty miles to see him.
