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.

Explain your plan better to have me treated..
You wanna know? Here it is: I want Dr K to explain what presumptive diagnosis is and what I needed to do and where I could go for treatment. At the present time I was sclheduled for Dakota dunes, the one in Sioux City to have mohs precedure. In the meantime a Rn from dr K office informed me that Dr K was trying to get me appointment at Cancer clinic in SC. What am I supposed to do Dr? ? got to Mohs precedure in Dakota dunes or Sioux Falls first, or do radiation at the Ca clinic in SC ? Explain a little better or I'll cancell everything.

Great Doc
Appts are always on time. His assistant is nice and Doctor K is very friendly and thorough. I've seen him three times now and totally trust him to keep my suspicious spots and moles in line. Yep, too much time in the sun without sunscreen.
