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.

A class act
I have been a patient of Dr. Primka since 2015, and on each and every visit, I find him to be highly competent, as well as kind and compassionate, always looking after my welfare. He is respectful of me, never interrupting me and never talking over me, but allowing me to tell my own story. Somehow, he gives me the impression that he has all the time in the world to spend with me, and I never feel rushed, even though he is the most sought-after dermatologist in Knoxville.

This man and his nurses are amazing! I bought a drink before going in and left it in my car in 95 degree heat, and my procedure was over so quickly and efficiently that my coke was still cold when i got back into my car! He was very kind and i have no scar where he removed a spot from my lip. I also didnt get overcharged, my bill is very reasonable and I'm happy to pay it because my experience was so good there. Thank you!

He’s done 4 MOHS on me. Two each time. Friday I go for my 5th. No one sees the scars nor the fact he reattached my nostril. You can’t do ANY better period. I wish they would let us post pictures. It’s amazing !
