They didn't really give much information as to what to do once the procedure was completed and what you were to do when you went home.

Dr George answered all of my questions and was patient

Your preliminary information is ridiculous. There's only 2 sexes M&F, etc. Please just stick to the facts and don't waste time. Worries me you hired DEI people and not the most qualified when you ask these questions

From the moment that Dr. George walked into the exam room, his friendly smile and comforting attitude, put me at complete ease. His bedside manner and demeanor are wonderful. And I enjoyed his sense of humor. He made a very stressful appointment comforting. Kudos to Dr Dean George !!! His MA and nursing staff were wonderful.

I've been seeing Dr George for years now. He is excellent. He took a biopsy and called me a week later when the results came in. He explained that further testing Is required and he will contact me when the results are in (about 2 weeks).

I've been seeing Dr. George for the past two years, and I can honestly say that my experience has been nothing short of amazing. From the moment I walked in, his professionalism and expertise were evident. He has not only cleared up my skin, but he’s also worked wonders on my scalp, addressing concerns that had been affecting my confidence for years. Dr. George takes the time to really listen, ensuring that I understand every step of the treatment process. His knowledge as a cutaneous oncologist gives me peace of mind knowing I'm in the hands of someone who’s not just a dermatologist, but a true specialist in skin health. His treatments have made a noticeable difference, and I now feel more confident than ever. I’ve never had a dermatologist who is so thorough, compassionate, and dedicated to achieving the best outcomes for his patients. I highly recommend Dr.George to anyone seeking effective, expert care for their skin concerns.

This was the 2nd appointment I had with Dr. George. At 70+, I figured it was time to pay the piper for all my years in the sun and have my skin checked out. Dr. George listened well and answered all my questions. He treated the areas that needed some attention and explained everything he was doing. He was pleasant and undramatic and I trusted him.

5 out of 5 stars

Actually, I have zero complaints. Everyone was very personable and timely. They deserve five stars!

Caring, informative and overall GOOD experience!
