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.

Fantastic Doctor!!!
Have been seeing Dr. Derrington for a few years now and she is always spot on, diagnosis as well as treatment. Professional pleasant demeanor as well as personable. Of the three dermatologists I have seen, she was s definitely a cut above. Her staff are also a reflection of herself. Highly recommend Derrington Dermatology!!!!

Great office and lovely staff
Please ignore my previous review which I cannot edit. Dr Derrington contacted me and addressed all my concerns. My review was exaggerated and incorrect. I highly recommend DR Derrington and her staff. They legitimately care about their patients and treated me with respect and kindness.

Always gives a thorough exam .
Is adept at finding potential problems you may not be aware of. I recently had a small cancer growth removed that I thought was just another aging spot.

Dr. Derrington solved what seemed to be an unsolvable problem with my face breaking out. Cleared up in six weeks! She takes the time to explain her diagnosis and treatment protocol thoroughly. Would highly recommend Derrington Dermatology.
