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.

Great clinic
I have been a patient of Dr. Katz for many years. Always treated with respect and privacy. Thorough exam and all my concerns were addressed.

Don't understand the great reviews. And so many...
Did a skin cancer removal. Quickly and seemingly without much care. Far less stitches than other dermatologists have used on me. Actually, about 75% less stitches for the same length! Scar is wide and quite noticeable. Very disappointed in the lax care I received and the end results. Where or where do these hundreds of exceptional reviews come from???

Extremely good for skin care
Has seen Dr Katz for between 6-7 years. Have gone through multiple malignant melanoma, squamous, and basil cell carcinoma. Could not be seeing a better doctor.

Excellent. I highly recommend Dr. Peter Katz. He always greets you with a smile. He is professional, friendly and personable. He has a way of taking the anxiety out of a full body check, which is very uncomfortable for a woman to have performed by a male doctor.
