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.

Pre Surgical consult
Dr. Hawkins explained surgery and answered all of my questions and concerns. His assistant, Jen was just as informed and very pleasant. Francine, their front desk mgr. was great!!

MOHS surgery excellence
Dr. Hawkins performed MOHS surgery at Advanced Dermatology in Portage, MI to remove a facial squamous cell carcinoma. The level of care I received from Dr. Hawkins throughout the procedure was a 'ten,' (0-10, 10 being the highest). He was confident, focused, and precise. His professional demeanor was pleasant and relatable.

Caring, Thorough, Professional
Dr Hawkins listened to my concerns and answered my questions. I felt that he heard me and treated me with respect and is honestly empathetic toward his patients. He asked me what I wanted to achieve with our appointment. He diagnosed my issue as neurological and when I told him that I had an appointment with a neurologist, Dr Hawkins suggested I call to see if I could be seen sooner. also offering to forward his findings and test results. I respect and trust his diagnosis.

The staff at the office are well informed, easy to understand. The Doctor explained what he was doing and ended up removing 2 different spots. I am going back to have him check 1 of the spots.

Thorough & professional
I found Dr Hawkins to be very thorough and professional. He was very detail oriented with his explanations. I didn’t feel rushed at all. I also liked that he had another staff member in the room. His staff was friendly and efficient. His office is modern and attractive. I wouldn’t hesitate to return in the future.
