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.

Very professional and responsive
Dr. Skelsey, Joan Pohutsky and the team are excellent - very professional and responsive.

Excellent clinical and cosmetic care
I've been a patient of this practice for over five years and have been completely satisfied. Dr. Skelsey is a superlative Mohs surgeon and is caring and compassionate. Have also been treated by Dr. Albritton and Dr. Ota for both clinical and cosmetic needs and found them professional and thorough. The only drawback is that this is a very busy practice and it can be hard to get an appointment quickly if you want to see a specific doctor.

Very happy with this practice!
I was able to schedule an appointment very quickly, my doctor was very thorough at our visit, and really took the time to talk and answer my questions. I have even contacted him after with questions and he called me right back and again took the time to make me feel heard and satisfied. The front desk staff is also great. I'd definitely recommend this practice for kind, comprehensive, and professional dermatologic care.

Significant Mohs procedure on the bridge of nose
I had a significant Mohs procedure on the bridge of my nose—an area with very little skin. Dr. Skelsey is incredibly talented, and I feel very fortunate to have been in her care. The wound has healed flawlessly, and no one can tell I ever had the procedure. Having seen other Mohs results, I can confidently say mine is a 10 on 10. I highly recommend Dr. Skelsey and her exceptional staff.

Can't say enough...
I have had 5 Moh's surgeries with Dr. Skelsy, and a decade of meticulous care with her marvelous PA Kyleen Davis. These were delicate, facial BC's and required skill and delicacy ... Dr. Skelsy is highly, highly skilled. and her office is attractive, well-run, pleasant to be in. The staff is always friendly and accommodating, and the wait time negligible. I wouldn't go anywhere else for my Derm care.

Dr Skelsey removed a basal cell cancer from the left side of my face. The subsequent surgical closure left a rather notable scar. Dr Skelsey has gone above and beyond to minimize the offending incision line. I have greatly appreciated the thoughtful care and expert interventions she has provided to mitigate the problem. I recommend her wholeheartedly.

Best Dermatologist I’ve Experienced
This is the best practice I’ve ever been too. They are very organized, very nice and professional staff, beautiful offices. I brought my mother here when she was alive (who loved Dr Skelsey), and I recently returned myself after terrible experiences at my own dermatologists’ practices and it was like coming home, especially after my own skin cancer scare and bad treatment at another practice, I am very grateful. Thank you.

Superb Mohs Surgeon
Dr Skelsey is a brilliant Mohs surgeon and her staff is thoughtful, attentive, and efficient. Although this most recent surgery was my first experience with Kallie and others, who were terrific, I have known Dr Skelsey, Kyleen and Nellie for many years. Kyleen has always been extremely knowledgable, attentive and highly skilled, yet I did not have as much contact with her this time around. Nellie is an absolute gem. Her technical and communicative skills are outstanding, and her ability to connect, empathy, and excellent demeanor are superb.
