I truly appreciate the great experience and would definitely recommend this place to others. Thank you to the entire team! 😊

Dr Kent is wonderful, he listens, he’s patient and skilled. He’s supported by great staff. Special thanks to the receptionist, he made me feel very comfortable walking in. Thank you Dr. Kent and staff.

–Forefront Patient

I had a great experience here. I typically have lots of anxiety surrounding anything medical, but they put me at ease and answered my questions efficiently. I would highly recommend this practice.

–Forefront Patient

Dr. Kent is professional, knowledgeable, kind, calm, and responsive. I had BBL & C02 Fraxel Laser and it was a challenge to go through, but Dr. Kent and his team were very supportive, informative and made me feel comfortable. Overall, my skin looks much better, but the scar on my nose that we hoped to resurface is still noticeable and red. Dr. Kent recently did another BBL on the scar to help reduce some of the redness. Dr. Kent has responded quickly to any questions or concerns I have had throughout this process. I definitely recommend Dr. Kent and his Team.

–Forefront Patient

Very easy booking expierience and timely check in. Tamera and the nurse assistant were warm and efficient.

–Forefront Patient

If you have a skin issue Dr Kent and staff are there for your concerns and can usually fit you in right away. I recommend his practice

–Forefront Patient

Had to wait a little bit longer for my appointment but not much longer. Dr. Kent was very direct but helpful, and will answer your questions. Came in for HS and he gave me a detailed description of what recovery will look like.

–Forefront Patient

I’ve had a great experience at Forefront Dermatology. Everyone in the office is welcoming and knowledgeable. They are also efficient and clear, which makes visiting that much easier. Definitely recommend!
