Dr Trakimas & her staff are very thorough, polite, & efficient. They even talked & presented treatment for items of my concern that are not medically necessary. Can’t wait to go back.

This is my first visit with Dr T and it was excellent. Can't say it was enjoyable as I had several treatments with the "Freeze Can" but I can deal with that for my own good. Poor habits growing up come back to visit your skin as we get older. I look forward to future appointments when I'll look better.

Made an appointment in January as a new patient and the first available was April 1st. The person who I made the appointment with didn't give me the proper time necessary for a first visit but I didn't find out until I was being seen. Now I have to come back for the proper exam and pay another $120 copay. Very disappointing, inconvenient and costly.

This was my first visit. From the receptionist to check out; the staff was efficient, exceptional and very people friendly. The office was restfully appointed, well set for patient comfort and safety. My medical assistant, Tiara was pleasant, knowledgable with excellent medical skills. She worked with precision and care with Dr. Carol Trakimas. Dr. Trakimas was professional with excellent technique along with a very caring and informative bedside manner. As a retired Nurse Practitioner; I was delighted with my quality of care from beginning to end.
