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.

Went to Dr Skinner for an ugly, dark, irregularly shaped growth on my upper chest. After analysis, he felt it was expedient to biopsy it. The procedure was painless, and he explained each step. He then performed the pathology study on tissue sample, and gratefully found it was non-malignant. I also had him excise a large lipoma cyst, that I can now hardly find the location due to the expert closure.A truly knowledgeable, professional, and caring surgeon. I highly recommend.

I had a small growth on the corner of my eye and was very nervous to have someone try to remove it that close to my eye. Dr Skinner totally put me at ease and removed it without me feeling a thing. I would totally recommend him for any procedure.

One word to describe Dr. Skinner and his staff "AWESOME". My husband and I have both been treated by Dr. Skinner several times using MOHS. I was called back to his office within 5 minutes of my appointment time. He has an excellent bedside manner. He and Alexis are wonderful. He is very kind, concerned, friendly, gentle and Professional. He has closed the incisions, taking 12 to 18 stitches and there are absolutely no scars. Same with my husband. He is the very best dermatologist I have ever used. We would highly recommend Dr. Skinner to anyone. If I could give him 10 stars, I would. He answers all our questions and he calls to check on us the night of surgery. All the staff and nurses are very friendly. His PA, Alexis is just fabulous. Thank you so much, Dr. Skinner for all that you do for your patients. I am so grateful for you and your staff!!

Best dermatologist I have had since I moved here 21 years ago. He check over my body really well, since I had a malignant melanoma and need to be careful because people who have had melanoma have a high risk of developing another one

I came early as requested to complete the required paperwork, since this was my first visit with Dr. Skinner. After 30 minutes, my wife and I left the waiting room and at 60 minutes past my appointment time the receptionist called my cell to ask where I was and if I was coming back. At no time did anyone say the doctor is running late,and we haven't forgotten you. There was no apology for making me wait, only surprise that I wasn't coming back. I will find another doctor's office that is more courteous and professional.

Over the last 40 yrs I have seen 7 different dermatologists. I have had numerous basal cells, several squamous cells, and 2 melanomas. Dr. Skinner's team approach to my care was by far the practice that should be the benchmark for others. I received the most thorough full body check that included a 3 member team. I highly recommend him

I recently saw Dr. Skinner to get my lips filled a little fuller. He did an amazing job and gave me exactly what I wanted! I didn’t want to feel self conscious about my thin lips, but also didn’t want to look overly obvious that I had augmented my mouth. He gave me a subtle but poutier looking mouth and I couldn’t be more pleased. I would definitely recommend!

’ve been seeing Dr Skinner and his staff for well over a year now and couldn’t be more pleased. He immediately put me at ease and was so kind and patient with me as I bombarded him with lots of questions. I love my results that he’s given me and will say that he’s helped this 52 year old woman look and feel years younger! He has also taken care of my father in law with his multiple skin cancers over the past few years and has done an excellent job with that as well.

I don’t know about the person saying the procedure was a “nightmare”, I doubt that it is a real patient . I personally know several patients that Dr Skinner has worked on and he is very caring, patient, and kind not to mention a great surgeon. At the end of a long Surgery day, he is known to call surgical patients to ensure that they are comfortable and ok. Highly recommended.

My Mohs surgery on my face was a nightmare. I’m six days post op im sick and miserable with no end i site. Belittled every concern I had, the area was cut in centimeters owith the first and only cut of which I was told was going to be millimeters. Never listened to a word or concern I had. Waited till I was on the table to change the way we had discussed the cut was to be done and I felt forced at that point as I had a red, hole scar where he had done biopsy.Im old&he didn’t care if I had a scar

Dr Skinner is the best dermatologist and skin surgeon around. He did a surgery on me and it looks amazing. He also did botox and fillers for me and he is by far the best injector I have ever been to!! He is also extremely friendly and has a wonderful bedside manner.
