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.
Excellent doctor and nurses. They know their stuff and are very professional. You are in good hands with this doctor.

Best doctor I've ever seen...no one like him. The guy is simply amazing. He instills confidence, he's incredibly efficient, and if you are busy and you don't want to waste time sitting in an office reading magazines, there's no one better.

Dr. Rinek has provided excellent dermatology care for myself and my family for many years. He is sincerely interested in his patients and is willing to answer any questions you have. He is very professional, cordial, soft spoken and even takes time to ask about my family. You are a NAME, not a number with Dr. Rinek. Appointment times are met very closely. Thank you Dr. Rinek and staff.

Dr. Rinek is an outstanding dermatologist who shows great patient care skills. He is prompt on appointments but does not rush through exams and procedures. He has the patient’s health and well being as his primary concern. He is candid and factual without being condescending or lecturing in his patient discussions. I feel confident in meeting with Dr. Rinek and assured after the appointment that I received outstanding health care.

Dr. Rinek, an outstanding dermatologist and individual. Always makes one feel at home personally and professionally. Had Mohs procedure a few years ago and it was done in the office and others have to look very carefully to know I had the procedure. Always does a full body scan to assure there are no hidden problems. When he retires he will be missed greatly!
