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.

Trust Her
Have been a long time patient of Dr. Kaufmann. She checks my skin carefully, freezes what needs to be done & referred me to another doctor in the practice when I needed a '0' Mohs cancer removed. I have faith in her and trust her opinion. She listens to and addresses any concerns I may have.

Felt Rushed
it took me three months to get the appointment and I waited a half an hour past my scheduled appointment which was not a big deal but I thought I would get a thorough exam and she totally rushed and was ready to walk out the door after checking my face and I had to remind her on all my paperwork that I had a lump on my back that I wanted to check if I didn’t remind her and stop her from walking out she would’ve just blew that off. Also thought I was getting a full body exam which I requested. Never happened ! I’ve been to dermatologists before and this was by far the most impersonal couldn’t wait to get out the door visit. I will not be going back.
