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.

I have been seeing Dr. Skiff for about ten years. I have found him to be very thorough. He's a great listener and will spend the time needed for each patient. The good thing about this is that I have confidence when he arrives at a diagnosis that it's likely correct. The bad thing is that he often seems to run late, which means you may not be seen on time. Even still, I would recommend him to others.

Amy Lord is awesome. I would rate her quality of care 12/10. But today I was extremely disappointed with Dr. Skiff. I had an appointment literally just a physical should’ve just been in & out. I called an hour ahead to let them know I need to be seen at the exact time of the appointment, that I couldn’t have it be late because of the storm today, I have to go pick up my little sister from school all the way out in Greene at 2:30. i waited over 15 mins for nothing. WASTE OF TIME

Dr. Skiff is great and I would recommend him to all. He has been mine and my children's primary Dr for years. Very caring & kind.

My family and I have been seeing Dr. Skiff for eight years. Over the last three the quality of care he has provided has declined drastically to the point where my family was suffering and going without proper medical care because he did not diagnose accurately. He spends most of the time behind the computer, not face to face with his patients. He also seems to have a disdain for referring people to specialists and to get a referral you really have to push and be aggressive. Choose another doc!
