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 waited 3.5 weeks for something on the bottom of my foot. She said it wasn’t a wart and said I should go to to a podiatrist because it was either a corn or something in my foot. She handed me a scalpel to abrade the area to see if it was something foreign in my foot. Not going back.

I insisted that I get a biopsy for a sore on my head. My sister and father have skin cancer. She was rude to me when I begged her to send me for the biopsy. She refused and said it was a yeast infection and gave me monistat. 3 years later I go to another dermatologist and he the sore is skin cancer and now I need Mohrs surgery. It progressed that bad because I believed she knew what she was doing.

I would say don't waste your hard earned money see someone else when to her for a rash on my face & mouth she refused to do a biopsy and said I should have come to see her sooner as the rash was almost gone-but she was on vacation for the week and I could not get an apnt right away! She was rude & arrogant-saw her about 4 minutes-no Rx nothing-I asked her for me &50 copay back as she did nothing for me!Also agree she is in it for the money!

I took my son there for acne treatment. The staff was rude, the wait was long each time we went and the doctor was abrupt. The doctor accused my son of not taking his medication and when he said he did she said she doubted that he was taking it, he was a teenager and we all know teenagers lie. I stayed with the practice because the medication he was on required close monitoring and the office is in town, but I will never return to the practice.

I would not at all recommend going to see Dr. Bevilacqua. She was in the room for less than 3 minutes, and I had to wait around 45 minutes past my appointment time to be seen. She handed me samples and started to walk out the door without instructions, at which point I had to stop and ask her where I could purchase a full size of the samples and couldn't even ask how long they should be used for before she was gone. Highly unprofessional, and clearly only in it for the money.
