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.

Wasnt impressed with my visit in Feb 2019. Dismissive and didn't listen to my concerns. Would only discuss one of my 3 problems. It appeared she was preoccupied with some other personal concern. Went to another dermatologist for my other 2 including AK and TV.

This doctor refused to give injections for psoriasis on the elbows stating it would thin out the skin. Went to another dermatologist and he stated I can come in monthly if needed for injections of my psoriasis on my elbows. The new dermatologist injected them during one visit and my elbows are completely clear of psoriasis. I don’t recommend Dr. Sydor at all she is dismissive to my needs as a patient and did not help me with my psoriasis.

I saw Dr Sydor for a rash that no one else could help me with. She took the time to listen and was able to figure out why I wasn't getting better. I never felt rushed and I felt comfortable asking her all of my questions. I would highly recommend her to my friends and family! Nice to have a doctor that takes the time.... plus her office is lovely and the staff was friendly and helpful also!!

Dr Sydor was very helpful with our son's acne, and we found her to be really compassionate and understanding. She is great with teens! Beautiful office with friendly staff as well.

Went there for severe itching in our son last year. He was covered in a one-sie, obviously, to control his itching. Dr.Sydor would not care to examine his skin beyond asking some questions. She went on to prescribe steroid creams that we later found out could have been avoided. This may be up to a Doctor's tolerance level. But the fact that she did not even think about examining her patient's skin made us lose hope in her practice.
