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 was a new patient and made an appointment for a skin exam and for her to take a look at a spot on my nose that I was worried about -possible basal cell. Dr. A took less than two minutes to examine my body for a skin check. It was the most superficial skin exam that I have ever had. Dr. A then examined the spot on the tip of my nose. She was not able to see it without a magnifying glass. Anderson asked me to point to it while looking through the magnifying glass. She then said, "oh, we need to biopsy that". I questioned and she said it would only be a tiny scrape. Long story short, she dug a hole on the tip of my nose. It looks similar to a small cigarette burn and as deep. The most absurd thing is that she didn't even get the small red-ish/white mole that I was pointing at-she missed completely. Dr. Anderson told me not to worry about the area on my nose because she could fix it with micro-needling. This procedure is not covered by insurance...go figure! I am currently awaiting my bi

Not a quality experience. I felt like the Dr. was very rushed, I waited weeks for an appointment and she couldn’t even spend 5 minutes with me. Quality care should come before quantity of patients a doctor can rush to see. Very disappointed.

I had sudden onset severe cystic acne at age 30, accompanied by extreme hormonal shifts and anxiety. Not only did Dr. Anderson expertly address the cysts as they appeared, but on my first visit she prescribed short term anti anxiety medication and referred me to a doctor who helped with the other issues. I am 38 now, and although I have to drive an hour to see her, I still would trust no one else with my problematic and sensitive skin.
