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’m a new patient!
I’m now in my 4th dermatologist & omg!! I loved him from the second he walked in the door. He took the time to listen to my concerns and didn’t rush me out. Awesome personality and very sweet ! So lucky to have found him!

×Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Cavallo?
I have been Dr. Cavallo's patient for over a decade and have the utmost respect for him and the office staff. His care, advice, and kindness have been a tremendous support during multiple episodes of skin cancer and other various skin diseases. He is always patient and carefully answers I might have. Patients are greeted warmly and graciously offered assistance with any medical forms and/or appointments. Additionally, I have never had to wait more than 10 minutes for my appointment. The office is spotlessly clean, sunny, and filled with current magazines (except during the current covid crisis). I know that might sound silly, but it is just another reminder that this is a medical establishment that does everything possible to make their patients feel respected and comfortable.

Very unhappy. Saw him twice, cut me off both times and wouldn’t even listen to my concerns. The second time, actually laughed at me (basically dismissed my hair loss concerns saying there’s no way I could tell I was experiencing it) to the point I left the office crying.
