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.

Fun of surgery
I had never met him, he took over the practice that had been taking care of my skin for 22 years, on my first and only visit, 8 biopsis were taken and 2 weeks later I was told I need Moh's surgeries and radiation therapies.I wanted second opinions and I was treated on 3 sites with cryosurgery two sites where Moh's was recomended were not found from my new doctor. I will visit my ny dermatologist every six six months. I am a senior and felt strange that no dermatologist, including a niece who is a well respected dermatologist in another city, had ever suggested surgery or radaiation therapy.I also had some questions on the billing.

Would not recommend Dr Wallace
Scalp skin cancer removed, wound not stitched correctly opened after sutures taken out, Dr Wallace looked at the wound he appeared indifferent recommended A to Z that required 35+ stitches and rudely walked out. Saw Great Plastic Surgeon who recommended hospital surgery and Vacuum assisted closure this was successful. Would not recommend Dr Wallace.

Amazing Doctor A+++++++++++++
Me and my family have extensive experience with Dr. Wallace. When he was practicing in Ocala a few years back, my mother (70 at the time)had a small mole looking bump on the back of her left leg. It grew fast and was very dark in color. She and went to see Dr. Wallace and he biopsied it. The second he received the results back, a day or so, he called my mother and told her that it was cancerous and to go see a specialist quickly. She went to Moffit in Tampa and they removed the cancerous tissues and a few lymph nodes. She was then cancer free for about a year and then the cancer came back and had spread all over her body. She ended up passing in Oct of 2019. My wife and I both used Dr Wallace for full body checks, etc.. and we both absolutely loved him. Dry sense of humor, kind of quiet, very fast in the room with patients but also an amazing doctor. He was an ER doctor for years and kind of explains some of this. I will be going back to Dr. Wallace very soon!

Dr. Wallace is very knowledge and funny. It is obvious he has been doing this for a long time because he was able to identify the cause of the spots right away. I appreciated the time he took to explain my treatment options with me. I ended up getting surgery on my skin cancer and I am very thankful he is the one who did it. He was able to hide my scar and now no one can see it. I trust him fully as my doctor.

Yup. The reviews are true...he is quick...in and out. But, it is because he has been doing this for years and knows what is cancer and what ISN'T! The result is that he doesn't do unnecessary biopsies, which is less pain for the patient and less expense for tests that aren't needed. In this case, less is more. (If you have a doctor that is taking off every mole, freckle and spot on your body, he or she is getting paid for the performing the pathology work--that is getting treated like a cash cow.) He is thorough and conscientious. I won't put my life in the hands of any other dermatologist.

I was fortunate enough to get in to see Dr Wallace as I was visiting Ocala and they can be so difficult to get into. His office staff immediately put me at ease. The "growth" on my arm was quickly and easily diagnosed as benign and with in few days went away, just as Dr Wallace assured me it would. Thank you Dr Wallace for speedily diagnosing me and not testing with needles and other unnecessary means that someone with less experience and knowledge may have needed; wasting my time and theirs.

I'll be writing a letter to which ever association or body that gave this man his license. He walked in, barely gave any care in the world to the fact that I have numerous skin lesions, was rude, then walked out. Didn't even consult me when the results came back and I had to ask what this was. "It's benign" isn't an answer. What I have is a very rare disease. There are scans that have to be done. In 10% of patients this disease is internal. It can absolutely be deadly. Had I not used google, I could very well have a brain tumor right now and not even know it. People have died from this disease. This doctor does not look at people as patients. We are a paycheck. I fired this doctor within the first few minutes of him working on me. I didn't know what I had at the time, so I wasn't waiting another 2 weeks or so. I bit my tongue and he did the biopsy. Dr Wallace should quit practicing. I mean that, sincerely. He is going to get someone killed.

Dr Wallace came recommended from a friend that had extensive face cancers removed over a year ago and looks marvelous. I went in with a large cyst on my back the size of a baseball. They removed it with no pain, sewed it up nicely and sent me home. I especially liked the young man that took my vitals and worked me up each visit. Very cordial and kind. They took the stitches out yesterday and I feel wonderful.

He walked in shook by hand, glanced at a spot on my face, said "It's benign, it's nothing." and walked out of the room. Maybe a total of 3 minutes.

Based on my 2 visits, Dr Wallace is very professional & knowledgeable. I can say this based on over 40 years of skin cancers and dermatologists. I have read and disagree with some of the negative comments referring to a lack of attention (aka "bedside manner"). I want a Doctor who is thorough and capable. I will look for charm at cocktail parties. In addition, his staff are also professional, pleasant, and caring.

Dr. Wallace recently performed two Mohs on my face. I was treated with the utmost respect and with dignity. These procedures were done in his office, which is a very clean and comfortable environment. Dr. Wallace and has staff are very professional, cordial, and answered all my questions to my satisfaction. The outcome of these surgeries has been phenomenal. I would highly recommend the services of Dr. Wallace and his staff and would not hesitate to return to him for additional services.

He did not listen. He is incompetent. What I'm left with after a visit, are memories of severe pain and horrible scars that are painful after a year. I should have consulted legal representation, but I know that God will take care of it. AVOID!

I echo previous critiques that he is too hasty; good skill for fast-acting triage, not for slowly developing skin issues. Face-to-face time is minimal, at a glance. He seems to be in a rush when the office appears empty. I would prefer a doctor to actually take a look at his patient and demonstrate his interest in skin rather than wait for a problem to emerge. That is my observation after two yearly checkups. Two years of the same dandruff lotion, the problem remains. Reassess? But good staff.

Dr. Wallace performed surgery on me a few years back and left a terrible scar. As a dermatologist, he sure does not care about skin integrity or aesthetics. He was in and out the few times I saw him without spending adequate time addressing my concerns. He started the surgery while I was not numb, gave me another shot, then continued before the medicine could take effect. A new dermatologist has stated that my arm was butchered. I'm trying to have laser therapy to correct the damage done
