Samantha Gerish was very professional, she responded to all my concerns and gave me great advice. This was my first skin cancer screening test and she made me feel very comfortable. She also helped my son with acne issue.

Samantha Gerish was great. Only negative experience was the receptionist was rude and also coughed into her hands multiple times before handing me something to fill out. Just not great hygiene for a doctor’s office staff and the rudeness at the same time wasn’t a great welcome experience.
Will still go back for how great Samantha Gerish is.
