Great knowledge and listening, discussing my options, by the PA, Rachel Serrano.

–Forefront Patient

Rachel is FANTASTIC! I won’t go to anyone else!

–Forefront Patient

I've come here for 2 annual skin checks and for a couple of minor in office procedures. The staff and Dr. Heffernan have always been friendly and professional. My usual wait time to see the doctor after checking in has only been 5-15 minutes. I'll be seeing them again next year for my annual check up.

–Forefront Patient

Dr Heffernan and staff are very caring

–Forefront Patient

The doctor was very thorough and the staff are very friendly. I come back every year for my annual check up!

–Forefront Patient

Doctor Heffernan was very thorough with her questioning and prescribed medication, took biopsy of rash on my leg, said if it doesn't stop the itch to come in Tuesday after I've used it for a while, have followup appt 2 weeks, felt taken care of

–Forefront Patient

Pleasant staff member upon entering and wonderful Dr. H and Haley, her assistant. I dreaded the appointment after not seeing a dermatologist for so long but I was made to feel comfortable and questions answered.

–Forefront Patient

I have been a patient for a little over a year. The doctors, nurses and staff are very friendly and knowledgeable. All my skin concerns were diagnosed, treated and resolved quickly. It’s a great practice!

–Forefront Patient

Quick and delightful as always

–Forefront Patient

Dr. Heffernan is great but her staff is top tier. Dr. Heffernan worked with me to come up with a combination of prescriptions that actually helped improve my skin and provided me with samples of products so that while we figured out what combo worked for my skin I didnt have to buy new sunscreen/ moisturizers to test for compatibility. The med staff are excellent, when they noticed i was getting confused about which prescriptions I should use how often, a staffer wrote on a sticky note for me :). Truly above and beyond. I have a diagnosis, a solution, and confidence that this office will help me every step of the way.

–Forefront Patient

very knowledgeable and wonderful care excellent physician and staff

–Forefront Patient

I have been a patient with Dr. Heffernan-Stroud for almost three years. I am very satisfied with her solutions to several different skin problems. I highly recommend seeing her. She explains issues clearly, always provides options and she is an attentive listener.
