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.

Acne
He treated my acne, and now I’m acne free and my face has never looked so smooth. Super quick and effective scheduling, within 3 days of scheduling an appointment I was seen with very little waiting room time. I feel it is sometimes hard to trust someone you meet for the first time with all your medical history specially if some of it isn’t so great, I have hope that patients can be treated without prejudice and bias in a professional manner no matter what there medical history entails, and Dr Joel Arter just might be capable of that, I’m not sure though I only saw him once for acne and it went well. Thats why I’m leaving 5 stars for my first visit review.

I came to doctor Arter in a real mess, I had just lost someone important to me. He spent extra time talking to me about my loss, and arranging help for me. The wait time was sometimes too long but for Dr. Arter it was worth the wait to get help from his comprehensive approach. I would recommend him to anyone.

For specializing in behavior services, he sure doesn't understand how to treat women with proper behavior. Like most male doctors, do not go to him if you are a woman. Rather than help you, he will make you cry repeatedly.

What could be improved
  • Didn't listen or answer questions
