What patients say

Patients praise

  • Patients appreciate the knowledgeable, professional, and compassionate care provided by the dermatologists
  • Many reports of efficient, punctual service with quick in-and-out appointments
  • Staff frequently described as friendly and helpful in positive reviews

Common complaints

  • Reports of rude or unprofessional office staff and billing department interactions
  • Some patients feel the doctor relies solely on patient-led concerns rather than performing routine head-to-toe inspections

In patients' words

"If you don't have specific locations on your body for Dr. Pilkington to check, he doesn't do it for you... He relies on your comments, questions and concerns to guide your visit."

Vitals user review

"The office staff and billing department at this facility are easily some of the rudest, most unprofessional people I have ever dealt with."
