Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Dr. Lee maybe great, but his staff is rude
We never got to a visit. I called to make an appointment as a first-time patient. Noone answers the phone, and voicemail didn't work. I then requested an appointment online which auto prompts 4 emails being sent to create a portal and fill out documents. Why would I share personal information if I have never spoken to a person in your practice much less get an appointment? I called again and this time I got the option to leave a voicemail. A person called back that was aggressive that it is required to fill out forms to get an appointment. She said Dr. Lee is 4 months out and the other practitioners are 4-6 weeks out. I asked who they are, and she said they are online. I understand we are moving to a self-service world, but being rude with no customer service is unacceptable. I don't care how great of a physician you are, don't treat potential patients who are paying you for a service disrespectfully.

office staff very nice, however, doctor only recommends overprice products that only his office sells. He doesnt get close to the patient to examine skin conditions. Will not come back. Doesnt explain the reasons for the condition either unless asked multiple times to clarify.

This was my first tine in office and it was a very enjoyable experience! The staff is friendly and informative, I saw Alexis who spent time explaining my situation, options depending on outcome and my procedure was quick and painless. I would refer this practice to anyone I know.

I have been coming to Damascus Derm for several years now and you will not receive better care anywhere else, From the front desk, to the nurse and of course, both Dr. Lee and Alexa, you will be treated with the most outstanding and professional care. They greet you and explain everything and make you feel comfortable. I have recommended several friend and family members who all agree!
