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 have been going to Dr Debates for many years I have complete trust in him. He is the best.The staff is the most friendly group I have ever had the privilege to know. Darrell Smith

I was treated poorly by the receptionist in a 30 minute conversation to the point of a 2nd party came on the phone and HUNG up on me. I asked for the office manager and was told Dr. Debates no longer will see me even though they didn't hear what me and my wife went through with his rude receptionist. Refused to see me before that unless I procured my own records. What doctor cannot get records from another doctor? Disappointing to turn away a guy with chronic skin cancer because of rude staff.

He is the 3rd Dermatologist I've been to. Sometimes there's a wait to get in to see him, you need to book your appointment and wait months, but he is well worth the wait!! I will never go to another Dermatologist! He IS THAT GOOD!???? REALLY REALLY! He's honest, to the point, gentle, caring, & polite.
