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.

Dr. Fern and her office staff are absolutely amazing. I have struggled with rosacea patches on my cheeks and have seen 4 other dermatologists prior to Dr. Fern and have had no luck. Dr. Fern helped tremendously with my rosacea to the point where it’s unnoticeable. Would highly recommend her to anyone!

I found her office staff and assistant to be warm and caring. Dr. Fern was professional yet compassionate. I was nervous about having something removed from my face. She made me feel so comfortable by talking to me throughout the procedure. I’m so pleased with results. I would recommend her in a heartbeat.

I have been a patient of Dr. Fern for 18 years and have always had excellent interactions with her. She has treated me for several pre-cancerous and actual cancerous conditions On at least 2 occasions when specialized treatment was required she referred me to excellent practitioners. My confidence in her has led me to refer my children and grand-children to her.

Dr. Fern has been my dermatologist for 15 years. Whenever I go to see her, I know I'll be receiving the very best care. She is very approachable and very caring. She is thorough with her explanation of her course of treatment. Dr. Fern puts the patient at ease with her level of confidence. As a cancer patient, I have a hard time taking antibiotics with my chemo meds. Dr. Fern is cognizant of my situation and is always able to come up with an alternative course of treatment.

Dr Fern made me feel like I'm a human being. I feel blessed as I have what I call a real doctor I am in good hands with an embarrassing skin disease. Going through my meds, found that I was taking a beta blocker, which made my skin condition worse. She is very thorough and puts you at ease. I highly recommend her.

I have been seeing Dr. Fern routinely, every 6 months for the past 6 years. I suffer from palmar hyperhydrosis (excessive sweaty hands) which is treated with a series of painful Botox injections in the palms. Dr. Fern makes every visit as quick and painless as possible. These treatments have truly changed my life! I'd recommend her to anyone, without hesitation.
