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.

As usual Dr. SHELNITZ is the ultimate professional. My visit was quick. I am sorry to hear Dr. SHELNITZ is retireing.

She is always personal and professional. A quality not normally found in this day and age. She is a great listener and always answers any and all question that may arise during an examination. She is to be recognized for her care and treatment. Even during the difficult times of a diagnosis she remains very focused and provides thorough treatment plan expectations. I highly recommend Dr. Shelnitz for your dermatology needs. Be prepared for a slight weight for an appointment. But well worth it. M. Jenkins
