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.

January Visit
From the time one enters the reception area of Dr. James office, one is greeted with her very friendly staff. The waiting area is always clean and quiet. When one's name is called to see Dr. James, the nurse is pleasant and greets one with a warm smile. One feels comfortable waiting for the doctor to enter. Dr. James is always professional, caring and listens to one's concerns. She is gentle as she examines, explains her observations and recommends a treatment. How fortunate one is to have Dr. James as their dermatologist!

Knowledge & Compassion
Dr. James has been my dermatologist for more than 25 years! During my last visit, we talked about changes in my current medications that would help improve the skin on my face. We also talked about touching up my sunscreen during the day: I'm willing to make changes to improve my health! I am grateful for her knowledge as a physician and her compassion as a health care provider!

Caring, understanding, empathetic and thorough
It was refreshing to be seen, listened to, and cared for after years of being ignored, gaslit, and pretty much refused care. This place is amazing and Dr. James is a godsend.

Dr. James is an excellent provider.
Dr. James provides a very thorough examinations in any concerns you bring to her attention and provide informative and clear explanations a patient can understand without fear and provide a solution that will work to the very best of her abilities. My mom and I came to her clinic very concerned with my issues but left her clinic hopeful and well informed. My mom had been Dr. James loyal patient for 20+ years!

I loved Dr. James! However, the office staff and environment was difficult to navigate during my visit. There system/WIFI was down, but there was no back-up plan for maintaining the office system to ensure patients didn't feel neglected. There was an extremely long wait time, and it seemed that the office staff weren't coordinated with each other to prepare for this issue that happened although they mentioned it has been happening consistently. I think a plan in place would prevent patients from also feeling overwhelmed. Overall, I love the staff and Doctor, just an unfortunate first time visit in which I may not return.

Told me she didnt have time, Still had to pay for
I was seen and paid another doctor, and was recommended to Dr. James by that doctor. So I called to set appointment with Dr. James, for the penny sized cyst to be cut out/drained. The staff was friendly. My understanding was that the work would be done on that visit. (I was Specific asking that the work would be done that day.) ...So I set the appointment. Dr. James looked at me, about 20 - 30 seconds. She told me that she didn't have time to do the work. That is what the appointment was for? She recommended me to Another doctor, and that I will be charged for the visit with her also. Dr. James staff told that they would call me to set up the appointment with the 3rd doctor. This has been about a week now, and have not gotten a phone call yet from Dr. James staff setting up the 3rd appointment yet. Again... This 3rd appointment is supposed to be for the work to be done. That is what I was told by the staff, again...
