I brought my 13-year-old daughter to see Dana for typical teenage skin concerns, and we had an excellent experience. Dana was very thorough and took the time to clearly explain everything to both of us. She has a wonderfully warm spirit, which made my daughter feel comfortable and eased any nervousness. She was patient and kind in answering all of our questions throughout the visit. As my daughter gets older, I’m intentionally helping her build confidence by encouraging independence during doctor visits by learning to speak for herself, while in a professional setting, and navigate the process from check-in to check-out. Without any prompting, Dana spoke directly to her and treated her as the patient rather than only addressing me as the parent. That approach meant a great deal to both of us. We would absolutely recommend Dana for anyone’s dermatology needs. 10/10!

I absolutely love Dana Canfield! My skin has improved so much since I started seeing her. She is great and she takes her time with her patients.

Google Reviews • Forefront

From the onset, I was greeted by a very nice and professional nurse, by the name of Jackson. He was very patient, while gathering my information, and asking about my issues. That put me at ease. Ms Dana Canfield brought that same caring energy into the room. She listened to me. Examined other areas, to see if there was cause for concern, and conferred with another colleague, on my situation. She has a very calming disposition, and I really appreciated that.

Google Reviews • Forefront

Dr Dana was very personable and listened and treated me and told me what I needed to do

Google Reviews • Forefront

I would have given a 3.5 however she was pleasant. I don’t like feeling rushed and I had questions. She would inch closer to the door every time I asked a question as though I was holding her up.

Google Reviews • Forefront

I’ve been seeing PA-C Dana for my dermatology care, and what sets her apart is her commitment to finding what’s best for me, not just what’s standard or convenient. Every visit feels personalized. Dana take the time to understand my skin problem and my concerns, and always explore multiple options to make sure the treatment plan truly fits me. Whether it’s adjusting medications, recommending new skincare routines, or suggesting cure, I feel like that trust has made all the difference. I always leave appointments feeling confident and cared for.

Google Reviews • Forefront

Ms. Dana Canfield was great, she made me feel welcome, listened to all my concerns, and was compassionate about my issue. I recommend Advanced Dermatology. Thank you Ms. Canfield for your patience, understanding and your compassion.

When I arrived at my appointment, the waiting room was full and you would have thought there would be a long wait. But the front staff was friendly and efficient, my wait time was short, and even with numbing and a biopsy, my experience was good! Dana has an excellent bedside manner, and gives very compassionate care. I would highly recommend!
