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 provider. Compassionite and caring
I have non hodgkins lymphoma which presents thru the skin. I have to get checked every 3 months and sadly my cancer has relapsed multiple times which she found thru biopsies. She was very compassionite each time. Highly recommend this Dr.

I had previous experience with Dr Clifton before she got married, that experience went well. I decided to have her see my son for some rash issues (he’s 2). We scheduled an appointment which took forever, her schedule is not flexible at all. The day of our appointment my son was being a typical two year old and was testing his limits all morning. He was difficult to get into the car, didn’t want to ride in the elevator, etc. We arrived after the “check in time” but before our scheduled appointment time. We stood in line and answered all the Covid questions at the front door. Waiting for an elevator and checked in at the desk. After we checked in and paid we were met by the buses who informed us that we “missed our appointment!” I was completely confused. We checked in and paid with no issue, now we were being turned away. Made absolutely no sense at all! They couldn’t even return my copay, they told me I had to talk to patient relations to get my money back. Ridiculous!!

The doctor was running 20 mins late, once in the room with me her nurse stayed and took notes which was very frustrating since the nurse had been very dismissive of me during the check in process. The doctor was very rushed and didn't take the time to really talk through my options just told me that things were fine and that anything I did would leave a scar. I would not recommend this provider to anyone.
