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.

Annual skin check
Dr DeFazio was courteous and thorough. She and her excellent team did not rush through the exam but took their time to check everything. In fact she needed to do a biopsy on a mole that my dermatologist missed last year. I have a lot of trust in her knowledge and skill.

Stay away...missed my Mom's melanoma...told her it was rosacia. Rosacia is never on just one side of the face. Amelanotic melanoma is right on the Sloan's website, and describes that it is pink in color. BAD JOB

Very difficult to get an appointment. It’s about a 6 to 9 month wait. The staff is pleasant and polite. Waiting time is 5 minutes or less. Dr doesn’t take much time with body check, about 5 min or so. Always seems rushed. Doesn’t spend time discussing condition.Not a very good bedside manner.
