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.

Very professional and efficient.
Always listen and address patient concern and take time to check progress.Very friendly and helpful staffs.

The Best
I had a skin rash over a year. I don’t like visiting doctors but finally decided to do so after the rash got worst and spread to other part of my body. Dr Oliver was highly recommended by my primary doctor. During my first visit, Dr Oliver showed carefully and listen well to my problem. He gave me the diagnosis within 30 mins. My first through was wow. But I took his advise and applied the medication. Less than two weeks my rashes disappeared, just like magic. I highly recommend Dr Oliver

Disappointed in this doctor. Went for a mole checkup, and the doctor didn't do a good job. Careless and rather rushed.

Dr. Oliver and his staff are consistently helpful and efficient. In addition, they are always friendly and never make you feel rushed. You are always greeted with a smile, and that attitude continues throughout the appointment. Treatments are effective and compassionately administered. In every case, Dr. Oliver himself phoned me with biopsy results and explained everything. I would recommend him and his office without reservation.

Very profesional doctor, took him a couple sessions to treat my alopecia and was totally worth it, no more bold patches. He makes the awful injection treatment more bearable. The personnel is friendly and makes your visit as comfortable as possible.

Today I submitted my medical information sent to me via email. His office staff Samantha reassured me she would help me finalize what areas were questionable to me. Easy to get to. Plus ample parking. Upon entering the office, Sam brought me to an examination room and we finalized my medical history. Dr Oliver greeted me and took note of all my areas of concern. Sam made notes of areas being treated. She also provided a simple sheet depicting the medications treating my scalp down to my toes, listing the medication and the application methods on how to apply! I praise Dr Oliver for being so personable and his expertise in his field, including his excellent office staff that makes you feel right at home! Thank you Dr Oliver and staff for making me feel right at home!

Dr. Gary Oliver and his staff are great. Everyone working there is kind, knowledgeable, and quick to follow up on questions and reschedules. Dr. Oliver himself is patient and really listens to his patients. I had a complicated issue where we weren't sure if the cause was fungal, viral, or an allergy. He worked with me over a period over several months to try different ways of alleviating my symptoms. I would highly recommend his office to anyone with dermatological issues.
