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.

Clear Dermatology is a Five Star practice imo. I recently had two procedures completed. I am very pleased with the results. I want to thank Dr. Brenda, PA-C Emily along with Techs Sydney and Shourya for their precise work. They were caring and thoroughly explained the procedures. They answered all my questions and reviewed the at home follow-up care. Clear Dermatology is my dermatologist. I highly recommend them.

I had seen Dr. Latowsky for more than 7 years. However, I was surprised and disappointed to be escorted into see a new to me doctor's office. He was abrupt, uncommunicative, hasty and I felt, very unprofessional. It turned out I had a significant cancer spot, but was NOT advised he was already doing the deep, preliminary biopsy until the procedure was half done. At this point I was alarmed and angry. After reading his 'summary report' of the appointment online, I found it was misleading and exaggerated as to the whole procedure. I was fully alert and comprehensive during the entire visit, so I know how cavalier and CYA untruthful it was. After getting the results of the biopsy, I immediately made an appointment at another dermatologist, who performed an extensive mohs procedure to successfully remove the spot. I will no longer be a patient at Clear Dermatology.

I moved to Scottsdale from San Francisco and love Dr. Latowsky and her team of experts at Clear Dermatology. I was preparing for our wedding and she helped me plan my skin treatments prior to wedding and it was Fantastic! I received so many compliments and was happy to refer Dr. Latowsky to my friends. I even had my fiance come in for some work before wedding and he loved it!
