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.

After not-so-great prior experiences with some dermatologists, I had the good fortune of seeing Dr. Smith. She has successfully treated a myriad of cancerous, pre-cancerous and non-cancerous skin conditions over the past eight years. Sometimes the wait may be a bit long, but the wait is well worth it. All highly successful doctors like Dr. Smith are in high demnd.

I came back to Dr. Smith's office after a long hiatus. The quality of care I have received so far from Dr. Smith & Jill Brown has been exceptional. Both spent time with me addressing all my concerns and skin l issues Everytime I have left their office [this is my third time here] I felt in my heart that nothing signifiant has been missed with regard to my care. I am so grateful to have come back to this practice again. Highly recommend.

I have been a customer at Huntington Dermatology for many years. At every visit, the staff is courteous and professional. Dr. Smith is very good at what she does and I never feel rushed or unimportant. Every detail is explained and they always follow up after treatment. I highly recommend a visit.
