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 experience!

I visited for the first time on 6/20 after seeing a dermatologist at another facility and having a very bad experience. Dr. Ferrara was wonderful! The office is very nice, the staff were all very friendly, and the doctor had a great bedside manner. He explained exactly what was going on with skin and how to treat it. I was recommended to this office by a friend and I will now recommend Dr. Ferrara.

Nice PA and assistant. If you want more than fillers or Botox not the place to visit.i suspected precancerous/basal cell. PA did biopsy confirmed diagnosis PA did follow up. Never heard from doc found my own Mohs doc to "treat" and now having them do regular ck ups. Front office staff to busy for patients with real issues and dismissive when you leave.

I had a cyst removed from my scalp and was in and out in 30 minutes. At most places they don't even call my name while sitting in the waiting room in that time. I don't normally write reviews but I was quite impressed.
