Dr. Sturm has been my dermatologist for at least 20 years. He listens well, provides answers to even my slightest query, and explains the treatment. In addition, he has a great sense of humor. I find him to be genuinely caring. I wish all doctors I dealt with were as competent and caring as Dr. Sturm. I feel lucky to have him as my doctor.

This was my first visit with Dr. Sturm and I was very pleased. The front office processed me expeditiously and I was back in the Dr.'s office right away. Dr. Sturm's nurse was very pleasant and moved things right along. The Dr. was very personable and proficient. I look forward to seeing him in the future with my dermatological needs.

Great "bedside" manner. Very caring and concerned about the issues that I wanted to address. Very thorough. I did not feel rushed during my appt. Extremely knowledgable.
Very kind and thorough. He calmed my fears and reassured me. He didn't seem interested in pushing any drug or tests the way other doctors do.
Verified patient
I've been a patient of Dr Sturm for over 20 years so I'm use to his professionalism and yesterday's appointment was an emergency due to an allergic reaction to some compounded medicated cream I was using for my elbow pain after surgery. I was able to get right in the office and they gave me the necessary meds to help clear the horrible allergic reaction on my arm.
Very professional. Would highly recommend.
