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.

Trust Him Totally!
We go to him because hubby's parents did as Winter Texans 30 years ago! We are now here in the valley ourselves and only trust him with our skin. Not ONCE has he ever rushed through a visit, or been anything but cordial. The wait time in his office has never been more than 30 min, where most other doctor appointments in the valley have taken 3 hours wait time!! We highly recommend Dr Newton!

What can you say about Dr Newton. I did go to him regularly before I left the valley. Have driven from SA to see him a couple of times. Is professional, knows his skin. One of the Best Demitoligist I know. Funny!! Never retire my friend. Just Louis P.

I have genuine trust in Dr. Newton who has treated several of my skin cancers (all types) and he is the best surgeon in the Valley when it comes to perfect incisions that result in very little scarring! He is thorough, answers all questions and my husband also uses him and is equally pleased with his work.

I have nothing but praise for Dr. Newton. My whole family uses him for everything from mole check to Acne. We are older raising a 16 year old boy so our family is varied age wise therefore we have a variety of issues. Dr. Newton deals with each and everyone of our issues professionally, Caring ,compassionate and extremely knowledgeable. He takes his time talking with us about any of our concerns. You leave his office feeling very comfortable and well informed about your condition.

My father went to get a few skin spots checked and walked out feeling well informed and attended too by Dr. Newton and his staff. He was thorough in answering all of my questions and was then given a few options on how to proceed with my plan of action. I have now been there twice and my experience was the exactly as my first. I will most definitely recommend Dr. Newton to my friends and family!
