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.

I always see Robb. He is always professional
My. Concerns are always addressed and treated so they heal. I am very happy.

Dr. Hinkson and his nurse, Tiffany, are THE best! Both are professional, but most important to me, they are genuinely lovely people who actually care about the patient. I highly recommend Dr. Hinkson!

Dr Hinkson was very kind and knowledgeable. His staff was also very kind. I was impressed that he took care of my concern on the first visit, verses having a consult first, then come back for a second visit to take care of the problem.

I would not recommend Dr. Hinkson. I waited over an hour to be seen. It was very unprofessional. Dr. Hinkson rushed through my appointment and was trying to leave like after only being with me for about 3 minutes. I had to tell him to wait and not leave so he could answer my questions and help me. He was very awkward and uncomfortable, which also made the appointment bad as well. I feel Iike he just prescribed me an antibiotic for my acne so he could move onto the next patient. I had to ask him questions about the medication, because he wasn’t going to tell me about it. He seemed unsure on what he would do for my acne. He barely took anytime to help me with my acne. He gave me a paper about what acne is. I know what it is, because I have it. I wish he would have taken the time to give me a proper appointment and to actually help me with my acne. I have no desire to return to him. I’m very disappointed.

I've been using Dr. Hinkson fir the past 10+ years. I have Psoriatic Arthritis and he helps to keep it at bay. I have had several skin growths over the years and he has taken care of them to my satisfaction. Several of the have been Basil Cell Carcinomas and he had treated them. I also have Psoriasis and he helps to keep the flare ups in check. He's personable and has a good bedside manner.

Dr Hinkson treated my son many years ago when he first opened his practice. I was a new patient and was able to get an appointment in a reasonable amount of time which was greatly appreciated. Office is nice very clean and comfortable. Dr Hinkson was good reviewed and explained everything! His nurse was great I was very comfortable. I would definitely recommend him to others!

The care provided by Dr. Hinkson is rooted by his Integrity, Excellent Knowledge within his chosen discipline, professionalism and especially his sincere care of each patient. As for his staff, each one is an integral part of a most efficient and thorough Dermatology practice, allowing Dr. Hinkson to focus 100% on his patients. My wife, mother-in-law as well as myself have been patients of Dr. Hinkson for a number of years and find his examinations to be very thorough. As for his surgical skills, they are completed to highest surgical standards.

Wendy is The Best! My daughter is 15 in high school. Since middle school she has had trouble with acne. Wendy was highly recommended from some of her other clients that work at my husband's place of employment. She immediately was able to help my daughter's skin look clearer. Plus the makeup products that she recommended were excellent and reasonable. Over the course of time we have tried so many products. These look good from the start to finish of the day, and are easy to use. She not only made such a difference in my daughter's complexion, but her self esteem as well! My daughter goes every six weeks. Each time Wendy really takes time to work on any skin issues she has. My daughter Loves going, plus she says it's really relaxing. Wendy is an expert in her field, and the results prove that. She's enjoyable to visit with during the session while she continually does her work. She is very professional and confident in her work and the products she uses. We feel happy to found them.

Sr Hickson and PA Rob are both so kind and empathetic. It's embarrassing to be a 61 yr old woman with acne plus ageing skin ugly places - they always treat me with kindness and understanding. My special needs son has also needed complexion help and Rob patiently waited, missing his lunch break, while I talked and reasoned with my son until he consented to allow Rob to attend to a seriously infected spot on his face. Rob could have essily been frustrated and treated my son from that type of emotional space, but his nature is truly one of kindness and healing. The office is staffed by efficient people that do their jobs well. I recommend them highly!

I saw Physician Assistant Rob Willis, who was excellent. When I was with Rob, I received his full and undivided attention. Besides being personable and engaging, he was thorough, gave detailed and understandable explanations of what he was doing and why, answered all my questions, and made me feel that I had received the best dermatology care in my life. I'm very careful about choosing my medical care providers and am comfortable switching when I feel that I could do better, but I will continue to see Rob Willis in the future.
