Dr Conway really wants to get to know you on a personal level. He is a genuine doctor who is a true scientist but is also very personable.

Review for Dr. Conway

I had been a patient of this doctor for years. I've had two surgeries with her. The first one was fine. The second surgery SHE REMOVED HALF MY OVARY AND DID NOT TELL ME OR MY SPOUSE. I had post surgery compilations and she brushed them off. I also had an IUD placed and I told her I felt the strings...

Review for Dr. Lifits-Podorozhansky

She did not rush us, took time to explain in layman's terms, and appeared to be very professional. She was also on time, and did not send a nurse practioner as a opposed to a personal consultation

Apr 19 2025

Review for Dr. Zippay

Terrible woman. She walked in all angry. I should have left. She said I had steroid acne. Put me on four weeks of antibiotics and tapered me off to lesser steroids as I now know and failed to tell me that the Desonide and the hydrocortisone one percent over the counter creams were also steroids...

Review for Dr. Kim-James

Dr. Kory is a knowledgeable and compassionate doctor. He is very thorough dermotologist and I wouldn't feel comfortable nor trust any other dermotologist with finding skin cancer. He is also so friendly and always has a smile on his face. The office staff lacks knowledge about insurance coverage...
