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.

Excellent! Explains issue vis-a-vis cause-effect.
ASK the question, he will provide the diagnosis, prognosis, and options. Don't blame if you don't ask.

Dr. Bilinski books multiple patients for the same appointment time. I was there yesterday for a 3:00 appointment. At 3:15 another patient arrived and announced he was Dr. Bilinski's 3:00 appt. Another patient in the waiting room told me he multiple books all the time. At 3:30 this man told me he had a 2:45 appt. and went to the receptionist and was told he was next. I went to the window at the same time and was told I was third in line. I would not recommend this Dr.

His diagnoses have always been accurate and his treatments appropriate. He isn't quick to do procedures but certainly does when called for. Those looking for a state-of-the-art office and/or doctor with a gregarious personality might want to look elsewhere, but for anyone seeking excellent, thoughtful dermatological care, Dr. Bilinski is number one for my family.

He is the best! He can figure out obscure reasons you may be having a problem. He is always right on. He is very efficient. He rarely makes you wait because he is so aware his patients time. He does not have a fancy operation but if you want someone solid and experienced he's your doc.
