Health information disclaimer: This directory is informational only and not medical advice. Rankings reflect publicly available Google ratings and review volume, not clinical outcomes. Verify any practitioner’s credentials and registration with the relevant medical board before booking.

How to read the numbers

The scorecards use public Google data on the date shown. Rating is the live star average, and review volume is how many patients have rated the practice. Confidence weighs the rating by volume, so a 4.9 from more than a thousand people carries more weight than one from a handful. Recency shows how recently reviews keep arriving.

What affects the cost of a skin visit

No prices appear in the reviews or on the sites, so there is no cost table here. A skin check, a biopsy and a surgical procedure are billed differently, and whether the visit is billed as medical or cosmetic affects insurance coverage. Ask each office what your plan covers before you book.
