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.

I spent over $500 on getting a keloid removed or reduced. I was seen by 2 of their drs Sara and Leah. I was left worse than how I arrived . Sarah said the best method to get it reduced and eventually flat was steroids. The steroids did not reduce and stained my skin white. I am now walking around with a white patch that’s extremely noticeable. I regret even putting faith in them. Besides disappointed I was shocked at their lack of professionalism, especially the office manager. The last time I went to the office I had nothing done to me other than Leah checking the stain. She did not know why it happened and did nothing to fix it. She suggested I get tan. I couldn’t believe what I was hearing. As I’m leaving they still have the audacity to charge me $90 for the visit. I had a discount and it was reduced to $40. As I was driving home I was upset and frustrated. The least they could have done was not charge me for the last visit. I called the office and requested a refund. I can’t reca

Dr Helton was the first Doctor to do my Botox over a decade ago. The man is a genius and I didn't know how lucky I was to have found him. I cant find anyone in the area I am now and after $1200 still isnt working. The minute I get back to Ca Im booking an appointment, well several. Thank you Dr. Helton for being an honest and amazing Doctor who cares about his patients. The little "ouch" is just a topper :)

I really feel good about visiting Sarah at Dr. Helton's office. She is very thorough and meticulous and I have really come to trust myself into her care as far as my skin is concerned. The office is clean and nice and all the staff have been very good to me. I don't have any qualms about recommending their services to anyone.

I've been going to Helton for a while now and I absolutely love it. From my first appointment with Dr. Helton I knew I was going to get great results. I've seen a lot of progress in my skin that I haven't with other dermatologist I've seen. The staff is always so sweet and welcoming. I still have issues with my skin but everyone there is dedicated to helping it improve.

I have been going to Dr. Helton for close to 20 years There is no one else I would trust with injectables in my face. His staff is always helpful and knowledgeable on the very best skin care and skin health in general. He is honest and treats his patients with the utmost of integrity. Dr. Helton doesn't tell you what you want to hear he tells you the absolute truth. I refer all my friends and family in need of dermatology to him and the skilled staff in his practice.

This was my first visit to Dr. Helton and I was impressed. The office staff was very friendly and helpful. Dr. Helton was more concerned about my acne than any other dermatologist had been in the past. I liked how he took detailed logs of my past treatments in order to assess my skin's condition. Overall, I had a great first experience at this office.

Dr. Helton and his staff our amazing. I first met Dr. Helton a few years ago after suffering from an extremely painful boil. His treatment, advice and follow up was amazing. I was pain free soon after. What was also greT was his positive attitude and kindness. During my visits I told him about acne on my back that I had never had treated. He has now developed a treatment plan that has helped tremendously. I'm grateful to the Helton Staff. It is a wonderful place that is comfortable. Highly recom

Peter Helton & staff are the best! The staff is extremely knowledgeable, friendly, and efficient. Peter Helton is a master at his service. Takes his time to ensure your service was to perfection and natural. I trust him completely and referred many happy clients. He has kept me looking young for many years and makes the ageing process for me much more comfortable as I leave every time more confident.
