I can't give a review about the doctors because the office staff gave me such a run around about referrals that I couldn't even get an appointment for my six year old daughter. The secretary was very short, uninterested and dismissive. That kind of attitude is usually indicative of a general atmosphere of indifference to patient welfare. I would never recommend this office. Way to put the patient first.

I loved meeting with Dr. Scholes! Hes my third dermatologist and Ive never had a terrible experience, but I came with a massive list of questions and concerns and he was so patient and thorough. My skin also feels great and theyre so much easier to get into than other dermatologists in the area. Great experience.

Dr. Scholes is nice, friendly and very professional. The office staff leaves a lot to be desired, though. Unfriendly almost to the point of rudeness.
