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 did not find value in seeing Dr. Huffman. I went in hoping to get medical advice, but she gave none, and I do mean NONE, rushed through the checkup, and did not talk to me and ask me about my concerns. I would not recommend.

Poor bedside manner
The staff was very professional and kind, however, my experience with Dr Huffman was disappointing. I found her to be brash, judgmental, and impatient. She rushed through my appointment and gave me generic advice that could have just been googled. When asked about a particular treatment, she did not take the time to explain the side effects or benefits. She judged me for asking about the treatment and made me feel uncomfortable and anxious.

Very knowledgeable and professional
I’ve been with Dr Huffman for many years and she is the one that I trust. Every time there is an issue, she will immediate point out the problem and have me fixed in no time. While the other 2 doctors that I’ve seen cannot figure out what’s wrong, it took her 5 secs to point out it’s the drug that I was taking that triggered the issue. With Dr Huffman, I know I am in a good hand.

I went to see Dr. Huffman to have a blackhead removed, but she failed to accurately and professionally execute a simple procedure and my skin got worse. When I met with Dr. Huffman again to see if my condition could be resolved, she use scare tactics saying that it would leave me with scars.I found another practice with an amazing dermatologist who treated me and my skin finally looks good.I would not recommend going to Dr. Huffman- she is inexperienced, callous and lacking in empathy.

I found Nicole Huffman arrogant. She prescribed a topical cortisone drug which probably triggered my 1st rosecea episode. She's not a good listener and after my 1st visit with her, I never felt she cared about my well being.

Dr. Huffman is an excellent dermatologist - she is always willing to answer questions, talk through an issue until you feel comfortable, and is never condescending. She is calm, approachable, and comforting. I see her several times a year for post-melanoma checkups, and trust her judgment implicitly.
