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.

Laser Dark Spot Removal Painful and Ineffective
Had twenty spots removed by laser procedure over two months ago. The process involved mulitple lidocaine injections per location, for a total of 50-60 bee stings. This laser removal process is not like laser hair removal. It is a surgical procedure that leaves large, open wounds that are very unpleasant to recover from. Week one is just open wounds from dime to quarter size, then several weeks of scabbing. At the two month mark post-treatment, the two on my face are a little better than pre-treatment; the ten on my hands and arms are the same or worse than pre-treatment; and the eight on my legs are significantly worse than pre-treatment. So, thus far for ~$600, I went through a lot of pain for a net negative outcome. I would not do this again unless absolutely required for skin cancer treatment.

Excellent doctor he also when he was doing his schooling for becoming a doctor at Walter Reed he work with amputees a lot. So he knows what's going on with the amputee stump skin. And being at Walter Reed he seen a lot of amputee. I have hidradenitis suppurativa he seems very knowledgeable on my condition and is helping me to hopefully go into remission. He's very caring man he doesn't rush you out. He listens. And then he explains very well what's going on. I highly recommend this man especially if you're a amputee with skin problems on your stump. And like I said he's doing very well and trying to get me into remission with my hidradenitis suppurativa

Dr Kentosh was amazing. He made sure to answer all of our questions and was very professional. He was able to do the procedure on our newborn with minimal crying and there is practically no scar. Would recommend him to anyone.

Dr Kentosh made me feel at ease on the day of the surgery, and did an impeccable job. My husband watched the procedure and he said Dr Kentosh is like an artist :) He’s also knowledge, personable, and confident. Before the surgery, I was so nervous, but having experienced his work, I have no more fear or any potential future surgeries (at least ones performed by Dr Kentosh). Highly recommend!
