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.

Charged for an extra office visit!
Went in for a minor cosmetic procedure. The first visit didn’t work, went in for a second visit (paid both out of pocket). However, after the procedure my insurance was billed for another full visit because I asked her to check the healing of a procedure I had from Dr. Glassman two weeks prior. I was told to do this by a technician in my previous visit. I appealed the charge twice which was denied. Ms. Crouse failed to inform me that asking ANY questions would be considered another office visit. She never told me I was going to be charged. I found this to be very insulting and unprofessional. I will never go back to her or that practice again. She needs to learn how to communicate with patients and politely inform them that their question would be considered another office visit. I have also reported this incident to my insurance company.

Annual Check-up
This is the place to go! As someone who has spent much time in the sun over the years, I pretty much dread this annual check-up. However once I’m there I wonder why that is because the staff is top notch…kind, professional, knowledgeable, and reassuring. Facility is spotless. Wait time is minimal. For me it was and is an excellent experience. I feel good about recommending it so highly.

Knowledgeable and Thorough
Lina offered suggestions and then recommendations after we thoroughly discussed my circumstances. Talking with her was very comfortable and easy as I did not have to “pull” info out of her - she was open with information. She provided a clear list of treatment options from OTC products to prescriptions to lasers. I highly recommend Lina.

My first exam with her. First but not my last!
She was very knowledgeable, professional and friendly. She explained whatever she found, explained what it was and any recommendations going forth. Prescribed a helpful item that I was very pleased with.

Professional, empathetic and very communicative
I went for a long overdue dermatology check-up. There were a couple of suspect small growths found, one of which was removed and sent off for biopsy. I was able to get an appointment in less than a week, and the whole process was efficient and reasonably quick. The waiting area was busy, but everyone seemed to be flowing in and out quickly. My visit was not rushed. They took their time and talked about everything before and during the exam. They were professional and compassionate. When I experienced a bit more pain during the initial local anesthetic injection than I was willing to take, they stopped immediately to give me time and let the anesthetic do its magic. Everything went well and I felt like I was in good and competent hands.

It only took 50 years
I have struggled to find a dermatologist that I was confident in since I was a teen. Dr Crouse is perfect. She responds to needs based on risk, seeing me for a biopsy right away, even though I was a new patient. She did the surgery to remove the cancer, and it was a beautiful, clean wound. I had strange developments - not infection - 2 months later and she saw me promptly and correctly discerned I was reacting to dissolving sutures (not more cancer). She prescribed a steroid, and it is working. Does it seem strange that this professional and responsive treatment took 50 years to find? It does to me …but I am very happy I found her, and she is young enough that she can be the last one I ever need.

Magnificent Service
Everything and everyone associated with my appointment was professional and efficient! My brother in law was having a procedure at nearly the exact time. I was allowed to visit and still saw the physician on my time. I was greeted by the receptionist with a smile and the attending nurse/technician was a fabulous gentleman. I was checked from head to toe and given a clean bill of skin health! Thank you Dr Crouse and young fella!!! I appreciate the five star service!!!

Very thorough
I had a suspicious growth that came on very quickly. The provider carefully examined that growth and did a full body examination to check for any other problem areas. I ended up with biopsies in three areas and two of them were cancerous. I thought Paulina was very thorough.
