Very impressed with this provider. Not having insurance at this particular time, I was hesitant to go in and undergo any extra procedures. Darin Franceschini, PA-C was extremely knowledgeable, understanding and made sure I was taken care of to the best level possible. Other staff were very friendly and the entire visit was seamless. Would definitely go back if needed and will definitely be recommending to others!

Verified patient
The staff was excellent to deal with, my wait time was very short. Darin Franceschini listened to the description of my problem and explained the game plan to take care of the problem in a way I understood.
Getting appointments right of way not 30-60 days down the road. Paperwork on tablets was a plus. Seen within 5 minutes of my appointment time
Verified patient
Excellent experience from the front desk, assistant, and PA. The only thing is, when you make an appointment with the doctor listed, you find out afterward if you are actually going to see the doctor you scheduled with or one of the PAs he supervises. This said, I really liked and felt confident in Darin and have heard great things about Emily as well.
Verified patient
I booked my appointment with Dr. Dinulos,, but I I wasn’t examined by him, I saw the PA. He never said his name, but I have seen him before. I felt a little awkward saying, “I’m sorry but I thought I was seeing dr. Dinulos today and you’re not him.”
Verified patient

My mother has been going to this practice for years. She is 99 and a red head with fair skin so has been treated for various skin cancers through the years. This practice has always treated her with respect and kindness since the beginning!
Verified patient
what was wrong was explained to me, as well as the options I had for treatment...I kind of wish I had been give some sort of written explanation that I could have taken with me to study later, though; it made it difficult to explain to others what was wrong.
Verified patient
It was ok
Verified patient
I saw Darrin about what I thought was a cyst on my back. He ended up taking a biopsy that day and was really gentle and fast. Stitches were well done. He's really nice too. I also got my biopsy results pretty quickly so that was nice.

Highly pleased!

Verified patient
I wanted a 2nd opinion of my rash so based on reviews went to see Dr Dinulos. I showed him a previous Biopsy results and he took 2 more. The original biopsy couldn't determine cause of rash. Dr Dinulos tried to explain why it might be difficult to determine the cause and sometimes rashes may last a long time and never know what triggers the body to attack. Overall for the few minutes we got to chat he seemed very interested in solving the source of my rash and was very attentive when I was talking.
Verified patient
Dr. Dinulos was very personable and made me feel welcome and at ease. He performed his exam quickly and efficiently. A biopsy was performed skillfully and with minimal discomfort. We discussed the possible diagnoses and follow-up so that I had a good understanding of what the future would bring. Overall a very productive pleasant visit.
Verified patient
James was very polite and asked me about all my problems. He paid good attention and recommended some medicines for the treatment.
