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.

Recommendation to the highest order.
Push, Pull, Click, Click. As always Dr. Ottuso did a perfect exam and diagnosis and I am out of there in minimum time. After 20 years and many discoveries, he & his staff are the best.

Great experience.
My wife had a small lesion on her nose that would not heal and because we are seasonal visitors to Florida, we looked for a local dermatologist to examine her. We ended up seeing Dr. Ottuso, and it turned out to be a great find. He is very professional , pleasant, no rushing, very thorough full body exam and explained everything very well when he excised the lesion. I was told later from several other sources that he's one of the best around the area and we would have to agree, His nurse Kim was also exceptional. Great team, highly recommended. (My wife and I both worked in healthcare (operating room) for over 40 years and I have been dealing with skin cancer for years.)

New patient visit
This was a great visit. There was no wait time. The staff was pleasant. Dr. Ottuso gave me a quick diagnosis, prescribed the right medicine and I'm well on my way to healing. I received a follow up from his office staff to check on things, This is a service that you no longer receive in today's healthcare. I would recommend him to anyone. So pleased

Knowledgeable
Very pleased with the care I was given. I am so happy to find a doctor who can diagnose skin problems and recommend treatment. Too many specialize in skin cancer and can’t be bothered by anything else.

Went to Dr Ottuso for skin cancer after in my opinion being treated in a not too professional manner by another Dermatologist. I found Dr Ottuso AND staff to be very professional and they gave me choices of treatment. Kim was was professional and knowledgable. All in all, a good visit.
