My patients take their conditions to heart, so it’s very gratifying when they come in for a follow up appointment and I can see how much they’ve improved.

Sara is professional and engaging. This is my second visit and both times she seemed thorough and answered all my questions.

Absolutely had the best service by Sara! Wonderful personality, warm, funny and honest about my condition. Sara talked me through the entire process while performing the operation and took extra care and tike to make sure I was comfortable. I appreciated the effort and professionalism and would recommend Sara to others who may need dermatological care.

Sara is wonderful!! She has a great bedside manner & is SUPER knowledgeable! Bonus-she runs on schedule, and in my case-I was 30 minutes early for my appointment, I was leaving 10 minutes after my scheduled time.

Hats off to the staff and Sara. My appointment was on time, ( unheard of in this day and age) staff was professional, courteous and helpful. Although the exam revealed skin cancer, Sara went ahead and proceeded with her skills and knowledge, removed the most serious areas for lab confirmation and I was on my way. All within 40 minutes. Thank-you for the wonderful care. I would recommend Sara and her group without any hesitations.

Sara performed a very through exam. I was there for a complete skin check. Felt somewhat rushed with her speed and medical terms. She was there then she was gone.
