“Had a great routine mole check-up with Dr. Litak. Everything went smooth. Only downside: I had to manually re-enter all my info that should already be in the system - maybe 10 minutes of form filling.”

October 5, 2025Christopher M.Verified patient
Performed a 5min visual check of my skin/moles. Felt extremely rushed and superficial. Did not examine the full body (e.g. I was never asked to take my shoes off). Easy money for the doc.
