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 service
Dr Gardepe helped me when my hands were drying out and getting worse. Not only did she prescribe an ointment for my hands, but she also did a test that determined when my skin is allergic too.

Full Body Skin Check - Completed Successfully!
I'd put off having a full body skin check for quite some time. I mean who wants all that scrutiny and hassle? I selected Dr. Gardepe and am very glad I did. The wait was approximately 30 minutes. The exam was thorough and the doctor not only asked questions but was interested in any questions I had myself. The visit was not rushed and the advice given was sound. It was one of those visits where you wonder why you kept putting it off. The doctor had several suggestions for a skin issue that was bothering me and gave me a few samples of a moisturizer to patch test to see if it would work for me. All in all a very good, stress free visit. I will be using this doctor and her staff again in the future.

Been in Alabama 1 year and missed my health net until I went to Dr Gardepe. Found her very caring, knowledgable and I wasn't just a number which I have felt. Read the reviews and cannot believe what some are saying. She sent me for several tests to cover all the base to find out what the problem was and my doctor wanted me to take pain pills. I consider it a l privilege to be her patient I don't mind the wait as she is worth waiting for Definitely 5 STARS

I've found a great Dermatologist (Dr. Mancuso) and it made me think back to Dr. Gardepe. Why do I remember her name...because she was so BAD! I waited over 2 months for an appointment - arrived on time and waited for over an hour to go back to a room - waited in the room for another 30 - 45 minutes - and when she finally arrived, she was in a tremendous rush! She took care of my "spot" and would not even look at another spot. She told me to make another appointment. NOPE - I found another Doc!

I make sure my appointments are first of the day or first after lunch. An appointment still takes an hour-not because she's so thorough, you're lucky if she spends five minutes with you. She then gives you a prescription for some type of ointment and you're finally done. I feel that I'm stuck with her. There are so few dermatologists in Huntsville it's nearly impossible to switch.

Dr Gardepe's office billed me for a missed appointment, which I wasn't even aware of. Then they sent me to collections and finally served with me with an official letter over the Christmas-New Years holiday. All of this was over a $25 balance that most offices will waive. I would never recommend this type of practice to anyone. Please find another dermatologist!
