This was my first experience seeing Dr. Folkes and I can't say enough good things. She has a great bedside manner, she listens to everything that you have to say before she asks any clarifying questions, and she takes her time thoroughly evaluating everything before making recommendations. Very pleased and will definitly try to see her again the next time I need to see a dermatologist.
Besides that, the office staff is also professional, efficient and friendly.
