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. Stephen was thorough and listened to my concerns and answered my questions.

Semiannual Appointment
Semiannual appointment for screening of recurring AKs, and Basal and Squamous cell carcinoma. Highly competent and personable, takes time to listen to any concerns and issues. Proactive in pretreating any possible areas of concern before they develop into more difficult to treat lesions. Practice has resident Mohs surgeon.

Office runs 45-60 mins behind scheduled appt time
I would not recommend this doctor’s office they consistently run 45-60 minutes behind schedule. I have chosen another practice after my most recent experience with their office.

Excellent experience
First she actually took me early. Secondly she was kind and welcoming. She not only performed my procedure quickly but talked to me about options and referrals. Best experience I’ve ever had with a doctor or anyone in healthcare. I have already recommended her to my cousin.
