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.

This doctor gave me a terrible hair transplant years ago - I live with the scars every day - he lied about projections and what was to be expected. I don’t think he does transplants anymore as he was so terrible at it. I curse the day I met him and regret it every day of my life. Maybe he does satisfactory work now in dermatology but he was the absolute worst “doctor” i have ever had the displeasure of knowing. I was young when i had the procedure and he did not accurately state the expectations nor live up to his reputation in either artistry or volume of hair. The results were terrible. A good doctor would have accurately described my potential hair coverage and been realistic about my then-current hair loss and the subsequent scars I would be facing. He sold me lies. I still deal with the results of his awful work today. This is my honest experience and any attempt to scrub these results from the internet would be a case of a bad surgeon trying to salvage a reputation. Please leave this review up. His name deserves to recieve this criticism.

Dr. Kassimir is the most qualified, intelligent doctor there is. He is the absolute best in his field. His treatments and prescriptions actually work and he develops them himself. I also love how whenever you go there, Dr. Kassimir asks questions and tells interesting stories about various things. He is very fascinating and he has a lot of knowledge and life experience, and you can tell he really cares. You will never feel like you are being treated impersonally or like you are just another number. Anyone in need of a dermatologist should go to Dr. Kassimir because you will not be disappointed.

Dr K is the best. Trust him more than any other doctor with any question I may have. My mother father and wife are all patients. Other doctors have been incorrect with information I got that only he was right about.

accompanied my husband, dr kassimir complimented me on "a very good facelift" when i said i'd not had one he suddenly turned unfriendly. he caters to his "famous and important" patients, talked about them constantly, naming them. if one appears in the office that person will be taken ahead of my husband, even if my husband's appointment was earlier.

Scheduled consultation for PRP injections. Charged $1,000 and gave script for Finasteride. Discussed his wealthy patients with me. Very unprofessional.
