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.

Great docrir
Dr Gary Water man us an amazing dermatologist. He is well educated and like quick solutions. After visiting few offices and getting worse a friend introduced Dr W to me. And magic happened. We ended getting married. After years working together we had to end that. Even today I still saying if you need to see a dermatologist with him. You are in great hands. Ciao. DWP

Great doctor. He takes his time to explain the procedure, and he's very thorough. He has been my only go-to dermatologist because I don't trust my face to just anyone.

Efficient and effective! Really helpful for acne! My first visit was today and the office was clean and the entire staff was professional, friendly and nice (even though I was 10 minutes late to my first appointment....). My skin issue was that I started getting breakouts and have a history with awful cystic acne. I knew I needed Accutane (which has worked for me in the past when nothing else has). Unlike other Doctors who like prescribing mini Topical pharmacies or steroids for acne , Dr Waterman was understanding, patient, thorough, and totally on board with my need for aggressive acne treatment and resolution to prevent worsening and scarring. I breathed a huge sigh of relief after finding his office/practice. I 100% recommend and though I usually hate visiting the doctor, am really looking forward to my next appointments until I finish my treatment of Accutane.

Dr Waterman listened carefully to what I asked for and gave me exactly what I wanted, using only half of a syringe of filler into my upper lip for a very subtle improvement.

I didn't know he wa the doctor when he walked in the room! He dressed like some punk rock teen at a concert. It was the strangest thing I had ever experienced! First thing that ran through my mind was this guy is posing as the doctor. You better run for your life! But then I remembered what a hard time I had had trying to find a dermatologist that took my insurance. He seemed to know what he was talking about and the nurse in the room knew him so I went ahead with visit.
