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 Attitude and Very Experienced
This was my first visit with Dr. Mwanthi and it was nothing less of pleasant. His staff was great and I was in and out. I’m not sure about these other reviews but I didn’t get any bad vibes from him. I appreciate the way that he was very nice and give him credit for his professionalism. Always a plus when I’m able to joke and show humor with a doctor such as himself. Makes me willing to go see him again in the future.

Best Derm Ever
Dr. Mwanthi is a great doctor who is caring, kind, professional, and very, very knowledgable. I've been going to him for a few years to take care of a more complex situation, and he solved it perfectly! Every doctor I have been to before didn't fix my issues, but Dr. Mwanthi did on the first try!

I was rude and didn’t let me explain things.
He wanted me to drop his pants in front of a female resident Dr. I said no but he insisted I do that. His diagnosis was not completely accurate and I’ve got some of the same problems bothering me. I’m seeing another dermatologist.

Disappointing
I stuck with this doctor 6 months without improvement. I found him to be condescending and unengaging.

Both of my kids saw Dr. Mwanthi. We were referred to his office by our pediatrician. My 9 year old daughter was nervous about the procedure she was having done but Dr. Mwanthi was very kind and patient with her even though she was not being very cooperative. Dr. Mwanthi took the time to explain how to continue caring for my kids’ condition at home and even though she wasn’t thrilled to have the procedure done, my daughter commented that Dr. Mwanthi was a nice doctor.
