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.
Dr. Carniol listened to my concerns, explained everything and was incredibly patient. He made me feel pretty again and it was the greatest feeling in the world! Everyone in his office is so nice and helpful. They make you feel so comfortable and welcome. I can't say enough nice things about Dr. Carniol and his staff!

Dr. Carniol helped me get rid of a large, red facial scar after a mole was removed and the scar was not healing properly. He assessed the work of the mole removal from a previous doctor and decided laser treatment was the best way to diminish the red bumpy scar. After a year he made the scar unnoticeable.
