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.

He appeared bored and wanted to get out. Maybe he should find another job.

Worst doctor ever!
He is so unprofessional and rude. He doesn’t even deserve a star. I will never be returning to this hospital under any circumstances. Did not ask any questions or provide any information. Yelled at my family as well. Retire if you’re sick of your job. People come to you to feel better not worse.

Worst experience ever!
This is the most unprofessional doctor I have ever met. He has absolutely no bedside manner. I went for help and was belittled and yelled at. I would never recommend this rude doctor to anyone. I will never return to this hospital. I wish I could leave zero stars but that isn’t an option unfortunately. I would avoid him at all costs. Horrible, horrible experience. If he doesn’t want to treat people kindly then he should find a different job. Mental and physical health is imperative. Looking at other reviews just makes his seem like an awful doctor. Will not return under any circumstances.

Incompetent and rude
Said I had anxiety. Ignored my symptoms. Thank god for an X-ray tech that saw something and said I should get it checked out without telling the idiot dr skinner. Was sent home and told everything was fine and I had anxiety. Two days later I went to a general surgeon and got my gallbladder out. Way to misdiagnose. Went a second time and got skinner again. What a waste. Again misdiagnosed and told nothing was wrong. NEVER again while he’s working there. How many lives were lost because of him?!

Did not feel like he took me seriously at all. I was brought into the ER with sinus tachycardia, 170+bpm. I was in this state for ~45 minutes before I was in the hospital. I felt perfectly calm, just worried about my heart. I had been experiencing chest pains for 3-4 days before coming to the hospital. He looked at my records, saw that I have anxiety, and assumed that this was just a panic attack, ignoring my other symptoms and insistence that I wasn't having a panic attack. That is a familiar feeling, it's easy to tell the difference between anxiety and physiological symptoms. It took a second round of sternly INSISTING that this was not a panic attack before he ran any tests for blood clots. Sent me home that same night even though I still have chest pains and a 110+bpm. Honestly I wish I could give zero stars, one of the worst doctor experiences I've ever had.
