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.

Way too laid back when he shouldn’t be. Everything is no big deal. Have been going for years and never even had a full body scan. Had a small growth in my head for 3 years and have complained 2x about. I was finally advised not to go to him and went to another Dermatologist who was excellent. He asked if I ever had a body scan and my answer was no. Then he questioned the small growth in my head and was curious to know why it was never biopsied. Low and behold it’s been on my head for 3 years and now it’s a basil cell carcinoma and I have to have removed with some of my hair shaved. I won’t know how much has to be removed until they go in. I asked if this was taken care of 3 years ago, could this have been prevented and he said of course. My reason for writing this review is you know your body better than any Dr. and if something doesn’t seem right, go for the 2nd opinion always.

I went for the first time 11/16/16 and Dr. Winston was amazing! I was in and out within a half hour and he was very professional! I am a female and felt comfortable. I would recommend him to my family and friends! He's older so he has a lot of experience which was also nice.
