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. Ness is outstanding! She explains conditions well and has my trust. She has discovered many pre-cancerous conditions and treated them—including melanoma. I have been going to her for over a decade—starting with a complimentary skin exam. I highly recommend her and her staff.Linda B.

Very informative
She fully explained my concern. She told me the treatment of removal and what to expect in the next few weeks. She took time with me and I felt so reassured.

Dr. Ness was kind enough to offer complimentary skin cancer screenings one day during Skin Cancer Awareness month. I participated in that screening resulting in having a suspicious mole removed. I had a wonderful experience with her team - all were professional, polite and patient-focused. I highly recommend this Dermatology Clinic and will return again for annual skin cancer checks.

Excellent. I have recommended to family who have made appointments as well. Much more accessible than Sanford and no one tries to pass you off on a physician extender. You get the real deal. Very thorough in her exam.

I have been going to the Fargo Center for Dermatology since early March. Although my skin problem is proving tricky, Dr. Ness and team continue to try to find different treatments to attack the issue. I find them to be very caring, professional, and personable, without long waits in the lobby.

Dealing with severe acne as a teenager, she was empathetic while professional. When addressing medication, she was thorough in discussing previous treatment and its effectiveness and devising a plan moving forward.
