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.

Dr. Tope's professionalism, friendly manner, and compassionate care. He treated a precancer on my face and scheduled a call-back to make certain that my skin was healthy.

Dr. Tope is an excellent dermatologist who listens to you and spends time at each visit. I first met him in September of 2015 when another dermatologist informed me that I needed to have Mohs surgery on my scalp for a very deep cancerous area. She recommended that I see Dr. Tope and have him do the surgery since it was a difficult area to work on. I have seen him several times since. He is very thorough, capable, kind, and caring. My husband had had a bad experience with another dermatologist and refused to see him or another one even though he had skin cancer issues. After being with me with Dr. Tope, he finally agreed to see him and liked him.

I was referred to Dr Tope for MOHS surgery on my nose. It was in a very awkward place, and required more tissue to be removed than I anticipated. It was very traumatic for me. Dr Tope and his staff could not have been better! they were so kind, patient, while still being professional. I could not be happier with the outcome! He is a very talented physician, and very kind. I am transferring all my care to him and his team.

I moved recently to Richfield and Dr Tope was recommended as the BEST dermatologist in the area. I totally agree. He is extremely progressional and thoughtful in treatment. He is also a MOHS surgeon. I plan to get my husband’s derm care transferred, too.

Dr. Tope is an excellent doctor! I have seen many dermatologists for both medical and cosmetic reasons and he is by far the most caring, patient and thoughtful. I have gone to him several times for full body skin checks as well as for botox. I have always felt very comfortable and he spends so much time with me during the appointment. Dr. Tope explains everything in a very polite and experienced manner and takes each of my questions and comments very seriously. Highly recommended!
