Quick and professional !

Very thorough and professional. Checked every crevice for skin cancer so there’s no worry anything would be missed. Caught early on hair thinning with his inspector so it can be addressed/diagnosed with bloodwork and monitored twice a year. Really appreciate the attention to detail for prevention especially for the hair follicles while it’s early on and can be saved. Since I was interested in laser he explained cosmetic dermatology offerings that’d be best for my skin type without pushing any procedures and told me the realistic benefits to expect, just explained the options and to follow up if interested. Highly recommend him for a thorough, detailed dermatologist.

Dr. Kent is exceedingly competent and professional. I’m completely confident in his judgment. It can sometimes be challenging to get an appointment (he’s busy!) but I’m grateful to have found such an exceptional dermatologist.

I saw Dr. Kent once and he was good and professional. However, when I arrived @ his office for a follow-up 10 am appointment, the receptionist did not find my appointment on the system. When I showed her my appointment card, she told me that the Dr. Will see me. Around 10:30, I was called and directed to the tiny examination room. Twelve minutes later, the Dr didn’t show up so I decided to leave. The nurse was apologetic but this is not a way to treat a patient!
