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 Experience
The staff was fantastic. I needed a quick biopsy on a skin lesion on my ear. It went very smooth. Dr. Wise was very professional and knowledgeable. She answered all of my questions. I would highly recommend this practice.

She knows her stuff!!!
I've been seeing Dr. Wise for a couple years now. On my most recent visit, she spotted a TINY pre-cancerous spot on my face within seconds. My impression is-after several visits-is that she is highly competent and 'tailors' her examination for each individual--based on age occupation, skin type, gender, etc. She is fairly quick, very efficient, but will give you as much time as you need and-or desire. The office location also seems to be extremely efficient and not overly scheduled--Wait times are very short HIGHLY recommend!!

1st Appointment
A very good experience. From her eye to yours, to your skin; she never stops moving unless she is giving you her undivided attention, answering question or asking about scars, lesions, and my history. And, she does this with Grace. She is one, that you want on your Team.
