“The provider was very personable and kind. She came in and sat with me to discuss my concerns before doing her examination. Everyone was friendly especially the receptionist. She made sure my concern was addressed and she made sure I had everything I needed and explained everything to me. 10 out of 10.”

“Schweiger dermatology and allergy is a very good provider. Everything was very prompt and the doctor was exceptional!!. Easy to understand took her time and asked many questions and listened. I would highly recommend this practice to anyone. I will be going back for a follow up with both dermatology and allergy this coming Monday. One right after the other, didn’t have to make two trips.”
