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 had a recent follow-up visit to Forefront Dermatology (after 2 years). I missed my first follow-up appointment, and in that time, my physician had left the practice. I saw Dr. Johnson, and oh my goodness, I was thoroughly happy about that. What a difference in the care, the attitude, and the attention. She listened; she explained; and she was quite personable. I almost wish she was my primary care physician. KUDOS to her and her nurse Leslie (sorry, I cannot remember her last name).

Grateful
I was very impressed with Dr. Johnson and her team. I recently had two bad experiences with a dermatologist and a nurse practitioner and it was so refreshing to be treated with respect and kindness. She is willing to take me on as a patient knowing I have a complicated issue. That means the world to me since I was treated like a nuisance by the previous two practitioners.

She is an excellent doctor. Her bedside manner is superb. I have visited several dermatologist since my teens regarding acne to skin cancer, none displayed the care and thoroughness that she provided. I called for an appointment with no in mind and was provided her and I am very happy they did. There was no wait time and the staff were all friendly and efficient. The office is immaculate.
