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.

My family and I have been fortunate enough to have Dr. John Garafalo as our dermatologist for many, many years. He is knowledgeable, intelligent, sincere, and has a wonderful "bedside manner." I highly recommend him.

Dr. GAROFALO is a patient, caring doctor. He puts you at ease from the beginning of your appointment. He is very thorough in his exam and explains everything he is doing. I get very nervous going to doctors and have to say he made me feel very comfortable. He never rushed me and spent the time answering my many questions. He has the reputation of being a top notch dermatologist and I can understand why.
