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 dermatologist!
Dr. Lipton has great bedside manner, is a good listener and does excellent work. I’m happy to have found her.

Horrific experience with Dr. Lipton. Basically, she refuses to authorize medication refill. My health insurance refused to authorize a medication - so I went to manufacturer: they have promotion plans and they agreed to cover me. I can't get a refill because Dr. Lipton refuses to complete required paperwork - to finish my enrollment with the new plan. She authorized 1st dose - but now it's time for 2nd dose and she refuses to authorize it. I didn't even know that's possible. How can she be a doctor?

Dr. Lipton is very friendly. I had a full body skin check for lesions for the first time, and she made sure that I felt comfortable thoughout the process. She also recommended some products for my skin and wrote a prescription for Retin-A. (Side note: her skin is impeccable which makes you really trust her advice)
