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.

Happy with my results!
I would highly recommend Dr. Starkweather! She is very knowledgeable and professional. By following her treatment plan, I went from having a pretty severe case of nail fungus to being completely clear and wearing sandals again!

Dr. Tina was helpful in talking through the procedure and offering other ways to additionally support clearing up nail fungus. As a runner, I am prone to nail fungus and my nails look much better now!

I came to Dr. Tina after trying unsuccessfully to treat my nail fungus for several years with other treatments. Her lasers are great, scheduling is easy, and she provides helpful tips for preventing fungus from recurring. So happy I don’t have to be embarrassed of my toes anymore!

Dr. Tina was very professional, caring, and attentive to my individual situation. I immediately started to notice positive results after my first two treatments, and have had completely healthy nails grow out in less than a year following my initial treatment. I had tried many other things before going to Dr. Tina, and this was by far the easiest and best choice for clearing up my toenails. I would highly recommend Dr. Tina for anyone struggling to clear up toenail fungus.
