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.

Very thorough!!!
Very thorough and took time to really look at each and every mole! Highly recommended.

Gillian Athey is quite exceptional.
Gillian gives a thorough examination, note existing and new growths, and involves you in discussion of what she sees and suggests treatments where needed. I have high confidence in her. I have been seeing this practice for 25 years and Gillian is among the top 3 people I have seen.

Very organized
The nurse was kind and so was Dr. Athey; they made me feel comfortable. Answered my questions as well as gave me explanations in regards to medication. Told me the risk of the medication which I appreciated. Made sure to set up a follow up to find out how treatment is working.

Great experience
She is well informed, enthusiastic, energetic, and a very good listener to my variety of skin ailments. It was a pleasure to see her. In fact everyone I encountered in the practice - the assistant and the front desk staff - were helpful, pleasant, and even fun.

The dermatology office doctors go to
This is the dermatology office other doctors go to with good reason -- great providers who are kind, caring and knowledgeable. Sometimes a bit challenging to get through by phone to schedule, but once you're in the office everyone from front desk to the doctors are unfailingly friendly and delightful, and Gillian was wonderful. Highly recommended.
