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.

Outstanding Patient centered Caring
This visit was for a checkup. She took the time to ask how, as a person, was doing first. I appreciate the caring she showed.

Unprofessional
This firm's practice is to makes appointments for you based on your previous appointment even if a year ago- for the same day and time. They assume everyone is available - at the same day and year. Do they not think that people have to arrange their appointments especially when they are during the middle of the weekday? They then send a text- thinking one should know it is pertaining to an appointment they automatically make for you - again a year ago??? When you DO NOT respond to the text they ASSUME that this MEANS that you have confirmed this appointment made a year ago? On top of that, they LIE and send I responded to the text. When I sent them a screenshot showing there was never a response, they did not apologize for calling you liar. Why not try to call you to confirm because ultimately they proceed to charge for a missed appointment that again- you have never confirmed??Also, in trying to rectify this situation and in making 3 calls into billing, no one ever returns call.

I had my first appt with Dr. C and it was one of the worst appointments I’ve had. I work in the healthcare field and I would never treat someone like Dr. C did with me. She was very unprofessional just as you may read in some of these reviews. I had my first skin check and she barely introduced herself before flipping me around in a gown. She then tells me I need a biopsy but I need to make my decision fast. I had many questions about this as AGAIN, this is my first appt. She then makes the decision for me and then YELLS over for a nurse to take pictures of my moles and for me to sign that I’m refusing treatment….while still in my gown! I had questions about my acne and she just gave me papers and an RX. If you are really seeking treatment for any skin condition, it is so worth the wait to find another provider. She is NOT worth your time or money!

I have been seeing Dr. Chittineni for over 15 years. She always takes the time to explain and ensure you understand everything so you feel comfortable before leaving the office! She is super friendly and makes you feel comfortable in her care. Her office staff and nurses are the best - super helpful and always pleasant! Great Doctor, staff and office! I would recommend her to anyone needing a dermatologist!

Dr. C. Is the best in dermatology. I had gone to 5 doctors and even to Northwest hospital, claiming to be the best in skin conditions. No one could figure out what was wrong with me, but Dr. C took the time with me and came up with a diagnosis, Lichen Planus. She treated me with medications that finally took care of the problem. I would never go to any other dermatologist but her.
