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.

Worst experience ever. We are made to wait out 40 mts for our appointment with no explanation rendered until I went up to the desk to ask. All we were told is doctor is behind schedule and we will need to wait or reschedule. It took me over a month o get in the first place, and have my daughter skip half a day at school... we felt cornered and choose to wait. It’s disappointing how people who are professionals themselves have little respect for other people’s time.

After 8 months of seeing various doctors and pediatric demonologists through Park Nicollett, this is the only practice that offered different treatments, advice, and that I felt listened to my concerns about the horrible case of Mollescum that my baby had caught. Other doctors and dermatologists said it will go away on its own after 6 months to 4 years. They told me there wasn’t much I could do to prevent my baby giving it to his sibling or other children in our lives beside always covering him in long sleeves or bandages, while it continued to spread all over his body. Dr. Hook gave us treatment our first visit and offered several modes of action. She is very knowledgeable and was extremely gentle and warm with my baby. I highly recommend seeing her for any pediatric dermatology needs, especially Mollescum. Dr. Hook and her nurse provided the kindest most professional healthcare we have received.
