I have seen Loren, the NP, several times now for a minor skin condition. I was so impressed with her kindness, thoroughness, attention to detail, and knowledge. She even called me after hours to give me test results. Her professionalism and bubbly personality make her a delight to work with.

Dr. Fivenson. In my opinion, he is one of the best dermatologist in the country. He has treated me for a very difficult skin disorder/condition, and I cannot be more thankful with the result and outcome. He is pleasant and knowledgeable. His office staff are very attentive and professional. He also treated my wife and she was very pleased. I would highly recommend Dr. Fivenson.

A great doctor! I was born with a skin condition nobody knew how to cure. He is the first and only doctor (of the several I have seen over many decades) who found out the underlying cause and managed to treat and fix my problem without just another corticosteroid salad. I highly recommend him! Amazing doctor and very knowledgeable!
