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.

Warning: over scheduled
Although Dr Rayham is skilled, she overschedules and leaves her assistants to explain what and why something was done. I was clueless during a 6 hour Moh’s surgery and when the bandages came off weeks later and I was significantly scarred she said “see you for your skin check in spring (8 months later). When I asked about the scars, she seemed annoyed and told me to buy makeup. I’m switching to someone who treats me like a person and not a thing on an assembly line—just a warning.

Dr. Raynham was able to completely cure rosacea that had been worsening over many years. Four other dermatologists had attempted treatment with no success. She is worth whatever it takes to see her!

One of the kindest, most personable doctors I’ve encountered. She is very interested in the nature of the person behind the condition. Her humanity shines bright. From a scaredy cat RN who thought he had a melanoma.

Friendly and caring surgeon who removed a lesion on my leg. She was very professional but also warm. The staff was helpful and there was minimal wait and I had no trouble making a follow up appointment. I would highly recommend Dr. Raynham.

Dr. Raynham is a superb physician and surgeon. The staff is engaging and competent and works seamlessly with Dr. Dunham during procedures. I am currently having my third skin cancer treated by Dr. Raynham. My results hafe been excellent. My second procedure involved a skin graft on my ear with such a good outcome that the graft is essentially invisible.

Dr Raynham did an excellent job removing my basal cell carcinoma. It was on my upper lip, very visible, and she managed to take it out so that the scar is barely noticeable now. She was available to answer a question on a Sunday after the procedure. Friendly, attentive, professional, excellent results. Highly recommended.

Very Competent surgeon, with no patient interest at all. Recommended exclusively a terribly invasive surgery when a simple graft was all that was needed. Insisted that cosmetic appearance was more important than recovery issues or long term effects. Attitude was more like an android than a human.
