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.

Great doctor
Dr. Shek has been treating me for years because of my over exposure to sunlight. He is kind. He is efficient and competent. I would not go anywhere else.

Excellent
Dr. Shek is responsive and cares about his patients in a way you do not see anymore from doctors. I called him in the middle of the night with a concern and he answered right away and helped me talk through what was going on.

Terrible doctor
I had questions regarding an upcoming procedure to remove skin cancer that was to be performed by Dr. Shek. He was extremely rude and wanted to know why I even had questions and hung up on me. I have never in my life been so disrespected by a physician. There are so many amazing dermatologists to choose from that I would highly recommend you find one who is not Dr.Shek.

Extremely knowledgeable and experienced
Dr. Sheck is one of the nicest doctors I’ve ever had. You could talk to him about anything and can spot skin problems a mile away. Finding him as a dermatologist was a stroke of luck. I VERY HIGHLY recommend him. Ive read other comments about being rushed and have never experienced that. He doesnt need alot of time to make a diagnosis….. thats how good he is. Hes a very caring Dr and it shows right away at your first meeting. I do not look forward to the day he retires and i have to find a new dermatologist.

Best Dermatologist!
Dr Shek is the best dermatologist I’ve ever seen, and I’ve been a derm patient since childhood. He has a wonderful bedside manner, but most importantly, knows exactly what the skin condition is, and prescribes medications and compounds that take care of any derm problem. I have sent family members and many friends to Dr Skek, and everyone is happy with the care they receive, and they become a patient of his for life. Highly recommend Dr Mitchell Shek. He’s a really nice guy too!

He is always in a rush, just suggesting cosmetic procedure to charge lots of money. He just cares about patients that he can charge me !!! Just a businessman rather than a doctor

Showed up early for appointment, and was not seen for a little over 30 mins. My first appointment I expected a few questions, explanations to be had, however, my initial problem & concerns were brushed off, and I was interrupted while speaking many times. Dr. Shek immediately zeroed in on my acne (not at all the concern). He also proceeded to hand me handfuls of samples of acne medication and prescribed me ointment for the problem I was having with no further discussion, prevention, etc.
