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.

the kindest most attentive dermatologist i have ever met

Dr Bitter is very patient-centric doctor. As a educator to other doctors, he would always patiently explain to me what we can achieve and he always ask me what do I observe. I appreciate his help.

Carrie is amazing takes her time and is on the conservative side which I love. I know she will never overfill me or make me not look like myself. I recommend to anyone that wants to look and feel their best go to the best!

I met Dr. Bitter, Jr. 23 years ago, when he was recommended to remove my skin cancer. He came back later the same day (after his son's baseball game) because he felt how desperate I was to be cancer-free. I have never had issues with the scar or gotten cancer again. I always remembered Dr. Bitter because he really tunes into his patients and has a huge heart and desire to help each one. I had read many articles about his amazing, cutting edge technology for anti-aging. So, when I turned 50, I came back to Dr. Bitter, and he remembered me. I bought a package and got some other minor procedures, which I've had amazing results. Everything looks very natural, and I've had many compliments, mostly about looking young! It feels good for me to do something for me. I am so grateful to Dr. Bitter; he is someone I totally trust and the leading doctor in this technology he invented and perfected. He is a life saver, and makes every client feel and look better! Enjoy!

I was referred to Dr. Bitter for Aesthetic Dermatology as well as to possibly help with a very uncomfortable and unsightly skin condition. I had been referred to multiple Dermatologists to help with my rare condition; each had tried various creams and procedures, all with very little to moderate lasting success. Dr Bitter knew exactly how to use light treatments to achieve excellent results in clearing up my condition. His kind and gentle bedside manner as well as his willingness to experiment with treatments until we achieved results is quite extraordinary. He is amazing ! As far as his Aesthetics, I appreciate how he is very conscientious he is to listening to what each patient desires, and how clearly he understands the wish for some to be very conservative. He is fully committed to achieving the results desired by each individual.
