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.

Exceptional Dermatologist
Deeply committed doctor who provides meticulous care. Found my melanoma and speedily guided and directed me through Kaiser’s system to get it quickly ameliorated.While my office visit might sometimes be for a botex treatment, he consistently provides me with holistic care to determine if I have other dermatologic issues that require treatment.

I have been going to Dr. Wadhera for years and not once has he been anything other than patient, informative, helpful and professional. I trust him completely when it comes to the kind of care I am looking for. His judgement, knowledge and personality always leave me feeling as though I can rely on him to help me with making the best and most informed choices with regard to my care. I highly recommend.

My experience with Dr Wadhera was a concerning disapointment. After no research with regard to my condition, stating “facts” about trans healthcare that have been long-debunked, he proceeded to fill our appointment with nothing but small talk. No concern of mine was acknowledged in any substantive way and he came into the consultation with the only goal of denying me medical care and invalidating me. His medical care is a mere performance with no concern for his patients or their wellbeing. I

Dr. Wadhera truly listens to your health care concerns and demonstrates empathy in his delivery. The care I receive time and time again compares to none. He is professional, thorough and personable. His patient's well being takes priority. During your visit Dr. Wadhera is attentive and focused on providing the best treatment possible. He is knowledgeable and an expert in his field, someone you can really trust with your medical decisions.

Doesn't listen to your concerns, has poor bedside manner, and doesn't do any research whatsoever into your condition if it he's not already familiar with it. I asked him for plenty of extra dressings after my surgery, which he had reassured me he'd provide and he gave me... 3. And then asked if he could keep one. I soaked the dressings before I had even gotten home, then got an infection a few days later. Cares more about his reputation than actually being a quality surgeon.
