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.

Dr. Norden never made me feel rushed. Explained everything...as often as she had to. Never stops trying when it comes to our goals.

I was a patient of Dr Borden's for several years she suggested a procedure to remove a spot on my nose she did not explain the possibility of scarring from the procedure or explore non surgical methods of removal. I have to live with the consequences of this lack of communication and discussion of non surgical alternatives which might have been a available

I had skin issues and allergies for over 20 years. Throughout this time, I saw numerous dermatologists. I am also very proactive about seeking medical care in general and I have lived in Boston - a hub of medicine - for 30 years. Dr. Norden is the best doctor I have ever had in those 30 years. She is smart and practical as well as analytical and well-studied. She is generally conservative with suggesting care but has never failed to act aggressively when needed. She is thorough and deliberate. My two primary issues have mostly resolved and neither of these issues commonly do. I owe it to Dr. Norden's analysis, diagnosis and treatment plans. She is kind, caring and gives her time when that is one of the biggest issues facing the healthcare industry besides cost. I have never felt rushed. To say I recommend Dr. Norden is an understatement.

Dr. Norden is by far one of my most trusted physicians. I discovered her in 2010 when I had struggled for years with acne. Up until then I had seen many different dermatologists and she was the only one who was able to help me achieve flawless skin. Dr. Norden is a stellar medical dermatologist but she’s also, without any question, the only cosmetic dermatologists I can trust. I no longer live in Massachusetts but I still drive a long distance to come to her for any problems with my skin. I wish every medical and cosmetic doctor was as competent and knowledgeable as her. The office is always clean and the staff is always friendly. They have taken outstanding safety precautions with regard to the current pandemic and I feel very comfortable going to the office.

I have been a patient of Dr. Norden's for over five years. She's the most thorough, professional and knowledgable dermatologist I have ever worked with. Dr. Norden's expertise and kind manner, put you at ease from the moment you walk through the door. Her staff are incredibly astute and professional. The most important feature, is they are always on time, which I greatly appreciate. I now have four additional friends who go to Krauss Dermatology for their skin care. I'd recommend Dr. Norden to anyone.

Dr. Norden is fantastic. In the past few months she has frozen several of my son's warts (with no tears!), helped my husband with a bizarre skin allergic reaction, and helped me shave a few years off my face (in an incredibly gradual way). Her calm and confident demeanor coupled with her extensive medial knowledge make me trust in her completely. I can't recommend her enough!

Dr. Norden is the most wonderful doctor. She is brilliant, thoughtful and has the most incredible manner with patients. She is equally fantastic with adults and kids, and is the only doctor that my children actually look forward to visiting!

I switched to Dr. Norden six years ago after my former dermatologist was unable to schedule appointments in a timely manner. I couldn't be happier that I made the change! Dr. Norden is truly professional and thorough. She has wonderful demeanor and has provided the best possible care for me and my two children. I highly recommend Dr. Norden and the office staff is very friendly and efficient.

Dr. Norden is our family's doctor of choice. She is kind, patient, professional, and extraordinarily thorough. She has seen our family of four through poison ivy, chiggers, eczema, poison oak, multiple rashes, and a skin biopsy. I recommend Dr. Norden unconditionally.
