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 a patient of Dr. Gaminchi's for many years. I had an issue with the billing last year and attempted to resolve the situation over a period of several months. Everyone I spoke to regarding the issue said they would call me back after speaking with the Dr but NEVER returned my phone call. I even requested to speak with the Dr but never heard back from her either. Needless to say, I was more than surprised how unprofessionally issues are dealt with in this office.

The entire office is incredibly beautiful, the staff is beyond helpful, and all the providers are top notch. I had cosmetic procedure done by Dr. Gaminchi and I couldn't be happier. The results far exceeded my expectations. So glad I found Dr Gaminchi.

I just love Dr Gaminchi she is the best dermatologist I've ever met! Whether it's beauty related or medical she is the best. Her staff is amazing and the clinic beautiful. I had vbeam done and the results just turned out amazing and did a little Botox around the eyes and it turned out beautiful and natural. Thank you for taking such a good care of my face!

I have a very wrinkled neck. Dr. G suggested it I do Protoge. It would $1700 (reduced from $2000) for 4 one hour treatments. That's all they said. I did it, came back for check up and Dr. G says it looks about 20%better. I was furious. They never said I would need several more treatments. For $8000 I could have easily had a neck lift! I felt cheated. She also pads her billing adding things that were not done. Don't go to her!

I would recommend choosing another doctor. She is very personable, but her practice is to busy to service the needs of her patience. I have been treated for the same issue 3 times, unsuccessfully , when I called to schedule an appointment they referred me to her partner who isn't as busy. The issue was relatively urgent and they require weeks before scheduling. I congratulate her on such a successful practice, that the needs of her patience can be secondary to her part-time schedule.
