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 visit with the Dr.
Dr. Sara is straight forward and she put me at ease right away. Dr. explained what needed to be done and why, and the next steps and why. She explained the procedure to me before she removed the bump, removed it, all relatively pain free. I am sorry to hear she is leaving. I would enjoy seeing her again as my Dr.

Dr. Sara Colby/Neil Wahrheit
Dr. Colby was very professional and easy to communicate with. I had a cyst removed from my cheek near my eye. She was very gentle, most concerned about my comfort level and explained everything she was doing and why. The incision was kept very small, hardly noticeable. I am very impressed with her skills and her concern for her patients. I am very pleased with the outcome and would highly recommend her.

I have been seeing Dr. Colby for over 30 years. No one is as good nor as thorough. She's worth the wait.

Since I have entered my senior years, getting screened for abnormal skin conditions has become an annual necessity. Dr. Colby has been my dermatologist for a couple decades now. She has earned my trust. She has proven to be very competent, thorough, and respectful to me and of my time (excellent on-time appointment record). She has performed several clinical and a few cosmetic procedures on me. I trust her and highly recommend her.

I’ve been going to Dr. Colby for about 20 years. She listens and advises if needed. Answers all my questions. I trust her. She has caught things other doctor dismiss as “let’s just wait and see”. I don’t want to wait to see if it’s cancer. I’ve sent 6 people to her and they appreciate how professional and knowledgeable she is.
