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.

As it turned out, Dr. Spencer was unable to do my surgery as I need a specialist. I was very pleased with the respect Dr. showed me, with the way he spoke and explained everything. As such, I have now joined in as claiming he and his office as my home for future dermatology needs. See you in September. Lucie Spizzirro

Been a patient at Coastal Dermatology for over three years and I have never seen Dr. Spencer. Coastal is the McDonalds of dermatology. The call center is not in the US. Darn near impossible to get an appointment in an emergency. I will not go back.

Dr Stevens did a moh surgery on the side of my face to remove basal cell cancer . He went in twice to get it .then said it was gone .Six months later I went to my northern dermatologist who is certified in Moh surgery (Dr Stevens is not certified for that procedure ) another biopsy showed that I still had basal cell cancer , so 6 months after the 1st surgery, I had another moh surgery . This time I had a large , deep incision with over 50 stitches .
