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.

Very professional, friendly and gentle.
Dr. Laffer was very knowledgeable and answered all my questions. This was my first time seeing him and I was very impressed.

Impressive
Easy enough to get an appointment, no long wait times in the waiting room, professional staff. Dr Laffer is attentive, makes suggestions, listens. Provides samples when he can. I have been pleased with the results of seeing him for skin issues and would recommend him to anyone.

Not likely to recommend.
We arrived early for our joint appointment at 10:35 AM. We were not called and no office staff told us of a delay. Other patients were being called in. We notified the office receptionist to cancel & walked out.

The best of the best
Dr. Laffer is the best of the best. He and his support staff are incredibly kind and caring. Not only did he take his time with us and answer all of our questions during the visit, but he also went above and beyond after the visit, promptly delving into the issue further and connecting us with additional helpful resources. He is wonderful with both kids and adults, and I'd recommend him to anyone and everyone in need of an expert eye!

Greatest Dermatologist
Dr. Matthew Laffer is the best dermatologist I have ever known. His knowledge is comprehensive, his patience and attention to detail are impressive and his personality and power to communicate compelling. Dr. Laffer is the hundred point doctor and I would accept no other dermatologist than this remarkable physician. Jim Seletz

Truly Incredible Dermatologist
I have been seeing Dr. Laffer for at least a year. He has taken care of several hair and skin issues I’ve had. He doesn’t keep you waiting (has run early when I’ve arrived early), and has such a fun personality. My acne that he has treated is nonexistent because of him after years of me dealing with it. He encouraged me while going through the most successful treatment I could have asked for. He found exactly what works for ME and I am so grateful.Thank you, Dr. Laffer! You are phenomenal.

Dermatology Appointment
Dr. Laffer is a super doctor. Made me feel very comfortable during my appointment.It was a total body scan for cancer and moles. He was very thorough and explained everything so I understood it well. Removed some ugly non-cancerous moles and skin growths. No pain whatsoever. Second time I've seen him, last time 2 years ago, and I plan to go back to him when it's time for my checkup.

Positive Experience!
It was great! I was scheduled to see someone else who had to leave the office early so he gave me my annual skin check exam. I usually prefer to see a female but he is so friendly, thorough, and positive, I will be requesting him from now on. I am also recommending him to my friends.
