I felt comfortable and confident in the care provided by Anacortes Dermatology from the get-go; beginning with scheduling and completing paperwork prior to the appointment to the way the appointment itself was conducted. Dr. Hines and his assistant were clear and consistent in taking our medical history, conducting the exam, and discharge instructions and education. I highly recommend Anacortes Dermatology.

Last week I underwent a cancer surgery on my forehead. Today they removed the stitches. Dr. Hines is the best of the best! He and his staff are caring and dedicated to insure the best possible outcome for a patient like me, 81 years old woman. It is ironic, that he is the only locally owned and operated dermatologist in Skagit Co. He does not have a glitzy advertisement like others in the area. Dr. Hines and his small staff made me believe that professional, attentive and personable medical care still exists. Thank you Dr. Hines and your staff for a job well done. I am sure you will have many happy

My wife and I recently moved to Anacortes from California. Among all the things to do upon moving to a new area, we needed to source and select doctors of various specialties. My predisposition for developing pre-cancerous spots, particularly on my scalp and face, require that I see a dermatologist at least every 6 to 12 months. So, I read about Dr. Hines and his dermatology practice known as Anacortes Dermatology. A few days before my appointment, I spoke on the phone with a very knowledgeable member of the staff who was very cordial, respectful and informative. She made it easy for me to complete

My husband and I have seen Dr. Hines several times now. Each visit has been thorough and unrushed. We have appreciated his knowledge, his expertise, and his practical advice. Advice that has always worked! His staff has always been helpful and polite. We both happily recommend Dr. Hines for anyone looking for a great dermatologist.

Report
Dr. Hines and assistant Nancy sent me home relieved to have a rash I'd suffered for almost a year, properly diagnosed by Dr. Hines on my very first visit. Lab work was done quickly in his clinic while i waited for the diagnosis, and a prescription sent to the pharmacy immediately. He was a clear communicator, as was Nancy. The clinic was well prepared to avoid spreading of corona virus, with proper air filtration and personal protective equipment. Efficient, friendly, great communication skills, and an extensive background in dermatology: Dr. Hines and his clinic, Anacortes Dermatology, have me

Report
I visited Dr. Hines to check on a mole I was concerned about and then ended up having a full checkup. He and the nurse were extremely professional and made me feel completely comfortable. He took the time to talk with me about factors that impact my skin type specifically. No hurried rush and short answers, I felt as though I was getting the best treatment possible. I will recommend Anacortes Dermatology to all of my friends and family for treatment.
