Great experience everyone was very kind
It was nice to have a good visit today. From check in to the medical assistant to seeing the Doctor- all professional and great "bed" side manner.
Both the receptionist and the medical crew were very pleasant, helpful, considerate, and professional. Truly a pleasure to go to the doctor!!!
My first visit was a pleasure. Pleasant staff, pleasant nurse and excellent Doctor. It was a pleasure to meet for the first time Dr. Shaughnessy. She was pleasant, direct and informative. She answered any medical concerns and did not rush through my vist like most Doctors seem to do in today's world.
Just got my annual appointment with Dr Shaughnessy at water's edge everything came back great, The care and knowledge her and her staff have are second to none always willing to answer questions. Best in the business wouldn't go anywhere else.
Excellent care.
Kerry is very nice and knows her job very well.
I love my dermatologist, Dr. Shaughnessy! She is attentive, caring, and explains everything thoroughly. The office staff is wonderful!
great doctors with good results.
Waters Edge Dermatology is the best office from the front desk to the nurses and doctors. Always on time and go above and beyond to accommodate their patients with kindness and genuine care. The BEST!
Excellent supportive treatment.
Very good appointment.
Kerry is a great doctor I felt very confident that she knew what she was doing and she made me feel very comfortable I have gone too other dermo docs in fl after moving from ny and did not like any bet Kerry is awesome!!!!
Each time I have visited Dr. Shaunessy at Water's Edge Dermatology I have been treated appropriately and in a timely manner. She is thorough, knowledgeable, and kind. I would highly recommend Water's Edge and Dr. Shaunessy.
Nothing short of the best treatment....
Reception desk was efficient, staff were pleasant, and open to questions. Doctor was knowledgeable, and patient friendly. Very easy to talk to.
Short wait, very nice receptionist and all staff and physicians are polite, kind and professional. Very satisfied with my treatment results also.
Very pleased with my first visit. The wait was a little long, but the clinician suggested some alternatives that I hadn't heard before to treat a chronic condition (which is what brought me to the practice). Will definitely return for ongoing monitoring and care!
