Forefront Dermatology
I would certainly recommend Dr Amos to anyone that needed to see a dermatologist. He was very thorough, answered all of my questions, and made me feel very comfortable during the visit. I needed to have certain areas of my skin removed and I didn’t feel a thing. He was excellent and I appreciate his knowledge.

Doctor Amos has the best bedside manners. I wish he was my full-time Doctor. I had to have a minor procedure done.
Every step of the way he spoke to me and explained everything in detail. For only meeting him once he made me feel very comfortable in his care.
