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.

Strip Mall Doctor
The first rule of quality medical care is to avoid any doctor whose office is in a strip mall. I made an appointment with Dr. Woodbury based on ease of scheduling (next day appointment). That should've been my first sign of trouble, because what doctor has immediate appointments available!?!? One that operates out of a strip mall office, that's who.Upon arrival, I was met with a receptionist who must've been on last day on the job. I should've walked out, but waited instead in an empty waiting room for 15 minutes before being led into a rather shabby exam room, where I waited another 20 minutes for the doctor to show up. What was the delay? There were no other patients, and I got an immediate appointment. The doctor's manner made me understand the staff and the office disarray - if the doctor doesn't care, why should they!Do yourself a favor, and don't patronize strip mall doctors, and DEFINITELY avoid Dr. Woodbury.

Horrible Experience
This was the first (and LAST) time seeing this doctor. The first red flag was the front desk receptionist who had a ridiculously bad attitude. Next came the long wait in a filthy exam room. After waiting more tha 20 minutes in the squalor, I was resigned to leaving, but Dr. Woodbury finally came in. Using a penlight flashlight, he did a cursory 'exam' from 3 feet away, telling me not to worry about the dicoloration on my neck. Following up with a new dermatologist was why I'm writing this review. The discoloration was indeed worriesome, and was handled by the new doctor.All the warning signs were there if I had paid attention to them. I'll never go back to this poor excuse for a medical practice.

Nice guy, bur AWFUL experience
Aside from the examination room bordering on filthy, his staff has to be the rudest group of malcontents in the world. He must be a tyrant to work for because they all hate their jobs, and pass along their misery to the patients. The front desk girl is the rudest person I've ever met. I like the doctor, but I'll never go back here.

Dirty Office
Dr Woodbuty seems to be a good doctor and very personable, but his office is a disaster. I visited last week, and at first dismissed the torn leather on the exam table. Then I noticed the long stray hair on the little table where his instruments were. The exam room wasn't clean at all. He used a styrofoam cup containing liquid nitrogen to freeze a small pre-cancerous growth, and sent me on my way. I checked out with a woman who clearly hates her job - surly doesn't begin to describe her attitude - hmmm her hair was the same as the one on the table. I like the doctor, but wish he would improve his office. I probably won't go back. Bad first impression.

GREAT Doctor, HORRIBLE staff
It's a shame that Dr. Woodbury has hired so many horrible human beings to work in his office. I've suffered through his staff far too often, and will now find another dermatologist.

Pleasant and Professional
The office design and decor impressed me. Lovely ambience. The support staff is pleasant, lending to the calm ambience. Also, wait time was as scheduled. I enjoyed Dr. Woodbury's sense of humor, pride of his family.

Dr Woodbury recently removed with cryotherapy a large brown growth on my forehead that had been rapidly increasing in size to over an inch in diameter. A few weeks later now it's like it was never there. I am thrilled with the results!. He applied just the right amount liquid nitrogen to the area. Other dermatologists advised me not to remove it indicating it would leave the area on my forehead bright white instead of brown. Not the case. The area where it was removed looks exactly like my normal skin color. Dr Woodbury knows his craft well. He has also treated me successfully for other skin disorders. I highly recommend him.
