Second time in the last 2 months I had to take my daughter in to see Dr. Dreifke. Was able to get appointment quickly. Dr. was pleasant, knowledgable and handled the removal of a mole on her finger painless for her. My daughters interaction with Dr.Michael has been good experiences.

Dr.Dreifke and his nurse were awesome. They both took time to explain everything to me. They were very patient , with me when l could feel a little discomfort he would stop so his nurse could deaden the area more.,, The facility was very clean too! I highly recommend this team!

I had what I thought was a wound that wouldn’t heal since June. I went to several doctors and to wound care and it wouldn’t heal. They suggested a dermatologist. He looked at it and prescribed a creme and said it would be gone in two weeks. 8 days later it’s gone.
