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. Wesson is amazing - she is sweet and has the best bedside manner - she is not an alarmist and she is extremely thorough! She has caught so many basal cells for me - and she is an excellent surgeon herself! I cannot recommend her enough! She’s the best!! I trust her 100 percent!

I have been going to wesson dermatology for quite some time , in the past 6 months or more she had a complete office staff change and I must say it’s a lovely group of ladies. You can see they all work well together. Prior to my appointment I interacted with the office supervisor she was kind patient and very helpful. I had an insurance change and she was kind enough to take the time and verify by calling my insurance company to make sure that they are a participating provider other offices will tell us to make the call which is acceptable however it’s the little extra care that is making my experience easier . The wait for the doctor is a little longer than I care for but I have been with them too long to change the office is beautiful and well kept, could use a little modern touch of screen and tv considering how long the wait can be: Dr wesson is very thorough and sweet.

I have seen Dr. Wesson for numerous visits and I find her to be extremely thorough with a very caring approach. Her assistants and office staff are well organized with the same kind and courteous attitude. I have recommended Dr. Wesson to several friends and I am glad to hear that Dr. Hoffman has joined the practice to open up available visits. Thank you Dr. Wesson & team for all you have done for me and countless other patients!

Very bad environment. Hostile office staff.
She is always very late keeps patients waiting while she is busy talking on phone or in the hall. The staff is rude and not helpful. The office manager is hostile, argumentative and very nasty. This is not a good place to go.

I was very happy until I received a bill bc my biopsy was sent to a non participating lab in my plan. Was first told this was their mistake and it would be fixed then received a call stating otherwise. I asked if they used my lab and I was told they do but not for biopsy’s and this is the lab they feel confident in and therefore I am responsible for the bill. I was never informed that they use a different lab just for biopsy’s. Totally unprofessional. Now I have to pay for THEIR mistake

Amazing dermatologist. Wesson cleared up my skin incredibly. I can finally go outside without makeup. All my acne scars are gone and I rarely get a pimple. Loren and Meaghan, the estheticians are absolutely great. The facials and laser sessions they have both given me have also contributed to the improvement of my skin. These girls are very helpful and always available for any questions. Overall lovely staff. Now I am working on laser hair removal and it is going great !
