Review for Dr. Sullivan
Dr. Kagan is my primary care provider with the VA. He has given me great care and medical advice for several years. He is personable and understanding. I highly recommend Dr. Kagan.

Review for Dr. Kagan
Usually pretty good, but today I waited 35 minutes in the lobby past my scheduled appointment. I didn’t get a heads up that they were running late and no apologies. The only thing that was said was how frustrated they were that there system was down.

Review for Dr. Yarbrough
She killed my husband. While she has many accolades,!she was not experienced enough with heart failure to treat him appropriately. He died after heart surgery performed by this doctor. Excellent bedside manner but not as skilled as she puts forth.?

Review for Dr. Gersch
I had not been to the dermatologist in a very long time so I was extremely nervous. Dr. Yarbrough put me right at ease and made me feel very comfortable. I would highly recommend Dr. Yarbrough and Charleston Dermatology. Going back next April!
