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.

Visit
She planned on only checking my face but when I scheduled I asked for a full body check due to family history of melanoma. She was willing to do the extra exam even though it had not been past to her.

When Dr Herman relocated, I chose to drive almost 2 hours to stay with her. I need a dermatologist I can trust and have faith in. She is the best. She is concerned about you as a person and shows she cares about what is going on in your life. Everyone in her office was great also. I am glad I stayed with her. The drive was well worth it
