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.

I have been seeing Dr. Poling for approx 23 years, so I obviously feel confident about her abilities. She has also seen my family members. She explains things well and she has a good sense of humor. I highly recommend her.

I've gone to Dr. Poling for years. She is professional, knowledgeable and very willing to listen to my concerns. She takes the time to get to know you as a patient and an individual. She explains procedures in a thorough manner and answers any questions I have. I highly recommend Dr. Poling.

Friendly, incredibly conscientious and brimming with professional expertise, with the ability to personally remember you and your condition from year to year. What's not to love? Probably the premier dermatologist in this hemisphere, if not the world.
