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.

Skilled Doctor
Dr. Shiell's is a very skilled Dermatologist that specializes in the MOHS procedure. I was extremely concerned about scaring and the location of my procedure. Dr. Shiell's is very kind, patient and understanding and he explained everything he was going to do to eliminate the skin cancer and minimize scaring.

Excellent doctor!
Squamous cell carcinoma on my ear, Dr. Shiell and his staff were very attentive and thorough, while maintaining a relaxed atmosphere. I felt very informed and confident that I had gone to the right doctor. Dr. Shiell sutured my wound, as would have also been my preference. All in all, my experience with this doctor was way better than with most! I highly recommend Dr. Shiell and West Dermatology.

Disappointed
My first skin cancer surgery was done by a plastic surgeon, and I was very pleased with the outcome -- very little scarring and no bumps. Dr Shiell did my second and third surgeries, and in both cases the stitching was very sloppy in comparison. I had bumps, flaps, and a pit (yeah I had a lot of places done) and one of the nostrils collapsed. I feel like I'm now permanently ugly.

I am very satisfied with my experience at Dr. Ronald Shiell, MD. I see him at the West Dermatology Palm Springs office. The two major components to make or break a visit to any doctor's office are the front office staff's ability to deliver exceptional customer service and the doctor's bedside manner and knowledge. The front office staff is very helpful, friendly, and they go above the call-of-duty to ensure you are welcome in their office. Dr. Shiell has an extraordinary bedside manner and he is very knowledgeable in his field. His medical assistants are also extremely qualified and ready to answer questions. Bonus for not having to wait for 2 hours in the reception area! I was seen by Dr. Shiell within 15 minutes from the time I arrived. As a new desert dweller, I am lucky to have found Dr. Shiell for all my dermatological needs.

I have been seeking Dr. Shiell for several years. He has kept my psoriasis and pre-cancerous growths at bay. He is very quick and astute to pick up on skin problems and act effectively to resolve them. He is always very positive and genuinely interested in me as a human being. Best Dermatologist ever!

After many skin cancer surgeries, from other doctors, and finally getting Sr Shiell , I won't have another doctor perform my next surgery. Dr Shiell goes above and beyond to make his patient feel comfortable, yet uses his skilled hands and knowledge for the best outcome..

My Dr. (Dr.Shiell) has given me my life back. He is the only Dr. (out of many Dermatologist I seen before I found him/ west dermatology) who sincerely: cared about my quality of life; listened to me thoroughly & patiently; took my concerns & needs seriously; treated me with respect & dignity and informed me and discussed all treatment options for my Vitilogo and then let me decide which treatment option was best for ME and my quality of life. Dr. Shiell changed my life & I can live my life again

I've trusted Dr. Shiell for years. And each year my understanding of dedication to his patients grows. This doctor, although still young, has the care and patience of a classic family doctor. His skills have kept my skin in very good health. He's great to schmooze with too. His waiting room is overflowing, but he makes me feel I'm his only patient. Others have voiced this same opinion. Thank you, Dr. Shiell. Bravo to West Dermatology in Palm Springs, CA

Removed a basil cell carcinoma off the side of my nose. When I removed the bandage the next day I have to say I was shocked and did get depressed. I kept hearing his words over and over "it will heal fine". Yeah I thought I didn't mind scars. Well 3 weeks later it is really hard to see that I had a hole and 12 stitches. I think he did an amazing job. He was so gentle with his care and so kind with his words. And he was right. It healed beautifully! Thank you from the bottom of my heart. Heidi
