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.

Easy to schedule, and prompt to deliver. Very professional

Dermabond Allergy with severe rash post surgery
Dr. Shurnas was very thorough explaining the difference between allergic and irritant reactions, Id reaction I contracted, and treatment options. She was extremely compassionate and understood why it was so overwhelming for me. She prescribed an antibiotic ointment to use (along with the steroid cream I had been using) for another week and it's much better!

Wonderful dermatologist
Dr Shurnas has been our dermatologist for many years for my wife and me. She provides professional service in a competent considerate way. Her quick recognition of a potentially serious skin eruption lead to the identification of a Merkel Cell carcinoma, with successful treatment by a team of oncological specialists. We recommend her highly.

I had a full body check which I was long over due for. I am amazed at how she can recognize an issue that might look like a tiny freckle but yet an issue. My husband and I both are patients and wouldn't think of going to anyone else.

Hands down, the best doctor I've ever had!
Dr. Shurnas has been my dermatologist for many years. She is caring, listens to my concern,, and willing to speak about pros/cons for treatment. One major bonus, she does not try to sell you on products and procedures that you don't specifically request or inquire about - unlike a provider I used to see.

Skin check
Dr. Shurnas and her assistant were prompt and pleasant to work with. Dr. Shurnas informed me of what she could do in removing my moles and I made a future appointment with her to do so. She made the experience stress free. Best of all, I received an 'all clear' report that none of my moles appeared to be malignant.

I have been seeing Dr. Shurnas for 20+ years.
She and her assistant were very friendly and thorough with my exam. Dr. Shurnas examined the tip of my nose and froze sun spots that she found. She also removed a mole growth from my right shoulder area and sent it away for biopsy. I am very confident that the outcome will be positive. She will call me with the biopsy results.
