I think that every patient deserves a personalized treatment plan and should be treated like family. Educating my patients about their diagnosis, what it means, and all of the treatment options available allows us to become a team – which is how I view our relationship. As a team, we make informed decisions together to come up with a treatment that is best for them.

Dr. Paul Gruber had to deal with a babbling cry baby once I had to get basil cell off my face. The scar was much larger than I anticipated and tears flowed uncontrollably throughout the entire procedure. He handled me like a pro. I need to be patient with the process and trust that he is right. Having a 3 inch scar on your face is not easy to deal with but I know I was in good hands with him and his staff Thanks for holding my hand throughout this procedure

I had MOHS surgery today and Dr. Paul Gruber was so patient and kind. I was nervous about the procedure and not only did he bring me tissue and reassure me everything was going to be ok, but he even brought in a Bluetooth speaker and played some relaxation music for me. During discharge he made sure to provide his personal cell phone number in case I have any questions before my follow up appointment in 3 weeks. He went above and beyond and made an unpleasant situation better. Thank you Dr. Gruber for being awesome!

Got me in very quickly for my procedure and Dr Gruber was very professional and sought to make me comfortable throughout the time I was there. I would recommend Forefront Dermatology for the prompt attention to getting me in for the procedure quickly and the professional manner throughout the outpatient surgery!

I felt that I was in good capable hands with Dr Gruber. The surgery to remove the cancer from two locations on my ear was painless. Aftercare for my surgery was well explained and reinforced with written instructions.
