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.

Please do NOT go here
I was charged so much money for nothing. Going to this dr was an awful experience. He did not help me at all regarding my acne and rash issues. Please do not give this man your money. I would give zero stars if I could.

I had complete satisfaction while receiving treatments with Dr. Pilest and his courteous and professional staff. I went in on my 60th birthday wanting to hear what the Dr. might recommend to soften some of the signs of aging on my face. First of all, he is so very kind and such a gentleman. He assured me that I "didn't need much" to enhance my looks, and made his recommendations. Everything he suggested was spot on, and the proof was in the result. He is extremely skilled at his craft. So happy!

Very short visit (5 minutes). If you're not going in for cosmetic-related skin conditions, I would recommend another provider.

About Me

care philosophy

As a Dermatologist I recognize that my patients' appearance is intimately linked to their level of self confidence and self esteem. It is my goal for all my patients to feel as good about their looks as possible. My recommendations for treatments are centralized around that goal.
