“The doctor did his job but could have been a little more friendly and ask how is ur day kind of stuff. ”
Brent O.June 21, 2025
“Very smooth and transparent appointment. Dr. V is extremely knowledgeable and can easily listen to patients' needs and explain how to approach the best treatment options, focusing on the patient's main concerns. Dr. V provided more relevant information and viable treatment options with the patient in mind than every dermatologist I've seen in the last 5 years. Highly recommend for any patient, but especially if you have a skin type 4-6 on the Fitzpatrick scale ”
