Patient Testimonials

Here are just a few of the many glowing testimonials we have received from Boston area dermatology patients:

The MDs at SCP are not only preeminent in their field professionally, but have an overabundance of all the intangible inter-personal qualities, i.e. what was known to older generations as “bedside manner.” Moreover, this positive culture has been propagated top-down, as every staff member, regardless of function, shows the same affability and thoughtfulness. They are, in short, the best.

Dr. Christman is THE gold standard for dermatology expertise and patient empathy. She gets right to the problem at hand, professionally explains everything she’s doing and always follows up asking if there are any questions. Great at her job AND a really nice person- 6 stars!! Front desk people are also great- friendly and efficient every time.

I’m a huge fan of SkinCare Physicians. I’ve been a patient for several years. Their team is extremely experienced and kind. They really listen to their patients concerns, patiently answer all questions and very much invite the patient into developing the appropriate approach. As a long-time patient of theirs, I have such confidence in their skill and advice. I drive hours for each appointment because I trust them and I recommend them to all my friends looking for exceptional dermatologists.

Dr Kim through non surgical treatment recommendations and her skill helped me achieve results that I feel make me look 25 years younger (i.e., no more bags under my eyes, hardly noticeable marionette folds, no more jowls and smoother skin). Thank you for my magical results.

I had MOHS surgery in July and I want you to know what a pleasant experience I had. The staff could NOT have been more kind and supportive. I felt like I was in a spa for a treatment. I want to say thank you to the MD, and the medical student, as well as all of the nurses for making something scary seem so easy.

I’ve been seeing Dr. Sobel for close to 2 years for the treatment of my psoriasis. He and the staff at SkinCare Physicians are amazing. Not only is he an expert at treating my psoriasis, but he also helped me navigate my insurance and got me set up with co-pay assistance from the drug manufacturer. Highly recommend them!

Last evening I had an Event Hydraplaning treatment with Joyce and it was an amazing experience! Joyce has a lovely personality and sense of humor. She is so well-versed in ‘all things skin’ and her technique was spot-on. I saw instant results last evening and this morning my skin looks flawless. I will definitely be returning for treatments with Joyce.

Dr. Kaminer and the staff at SkinCare Physicians are wonderful. They have been treating my acne scarring for several years now and my experience is always outstanding. Dr. Kaminer sets realistic expectations and his work is subtle, delicate and very natural looking. He has been a miracle worker in terms of reducing the appearance of my scarring.

Yesterday’s procedure was a most positive experience….The Dr.’s and staff are calming, reassuring and were constantly concerned with my wellbeing and comfort level. I was very anxious about what to expect and had no reason to be. A call from Dr. Hooper this morning at 8:15 to check on me was another plus and credit to professionalism and patient priority of Skincare Physicians. Again, heartfelt thanks to Dr. Rohrer, Dr. Hooper and all those patience and expert care I experienced during yesterday’s procedure

Just had another amazing facial with Joyce! After every appointment, in addition to feeling calm and relaxed – my face is always fresh, clean, moisturized and well, pampered! She is kind, patient, skilled and has “the touch” – I am so very grateful that I found her!!!

I got the best care there is from filler to lipoma removal. I am treated so well every time I visit them. I’ve seen Dr. Rohrer most visits. He is compassionate and gentle.

Dr. Kim is a remarkable doctor. She has shown great patience, knowledge and personal attention to my care.

Many thanks to Dr. Travers for the short notice appointment. The office is consistently accommodating and is such a well oiled machine. Great care with such class.

Dr. Jeffrey Sobell and his nursing staff were so incredibly warm and nice, I highly recommend him! I have had a very large fear of returning to see a dermatologist after a terrible experience years prior, but Skincare Physicians definitely restored my faith and trust in dermatology. I was met with patience, care and education… I very much look forward to return for an annual check as well as any other concerns I may have.

Dr. Kandula is so friendly and accommodating, she made me feel comfortable from the beginning! She’s very knowledgeable and truly provides excellent patient care.

Dr. Dover is warm and kind, as well as an expert in his field. He really cares about his patients and he has helped me greatly with a difficult skin condition. I know that I am in great hands at Skincare Physicians. I highly recommend this practice.

Dr. Christman does my Botox perfect every single time. The staff here is really kind. This was not my experience with my old doctor. This place is worth the cost. If I could give six stars I would.
– Posted on Google

I look forward to my appointments, knowing that I will be warmly welcomed, treated as though I were their only patient that day! In a bustling practice, where so many people turn for assistance and care, their thoughtful consideration is a true art form.
– Posted on Google

I do not typically leave reviews, but I wanted to do so here because I have been extremely pleased with Skincare Physicians, and in particular with my dermatologist there, Dr. Christman. I have struggled with acne and skin problems for most of my life, and I have dealt with many dermatologists over the past 30 years! Dr. Christman is the best dermatologist I have ever worked with, and one of the best health care providers I’ve had.
If you are looking for a caring and honest practitioner who will listen to your concerns and offer you options that are thoughtful and specific to your needs, I recommend Dr. Christman. This is a healthcare provider who loves her work, enjoys working together with her patient, and provides excellent care.

Dr. Kandula was so professional, sorted out the medical portion of my trip and gave me some cosmetic treatment with phenomenal results. The facility is clean and I felt super comfortable there even with Covid.

I have been a patient of Dr. Dover (primarily) for 15 years. He is a great listener with a great memory, great eye and respect for detail , a very kind and generous man too. I have also seen every other doctor in the practice at one time or another, for scheduling reasons, and I can say with certainty this is the most capable and kind group of dermatologists in New England. The nurses are all helpful and very well educated as well. SCP doctors practice cosmetic dermatology conservatively, cautiously and expertly. They are at the cutting edge of all techniques cosmetic or otherwise. They study with and teach the best physicians all over the world. I could not more highly recommend their services. It is an expensive office for cosmetic procedures but only fractionally more expensive than other practices and you get what you pay for…excellence.

I went to Skincare Physicians by chance today and just so happened to get an appointment with Kelly Buchanan. I feel like I lucked out. I had some skin issues that were getting scary and as much as I didn’t want to, I had to get these things checked out. No scolding on past sun worship, no feeling ashamed, no rushing, and Kelly was amazingly kind and informative […] Front Desk Staff and Medical Assistant were also extremely professional and prompt.
– Posted on Yelp

Can not say enough about the genuine interest and concern for your welfare starting with receptionists in the office and continuing throughout the medical staff. This is evidenced by a wellness telephone call made personally by Dr Rohrer […]. Class act – top to bottom.
– Posted on Google

[…] This office has some of the most attentive and caring doctors and staff. They are knowledgeable with excellent bedside manner.
– Posted on Yelp

Kelly Buchanan came highly recommended to me by many. I’ve been seeing her monthly for the past six months, and she is such a kind, patient, helpful provider who has already changed my skin. She’s extremely knowledgeable and always explains the reason/science behind anything that we’re doing. Most importantly, she actually cares about what you want and is thoughtful with her treatment plan because she is determined to get great results.

Dr. Sobel has been fabulous to work with. He is always so attentive and helpful to me, despite my very complex skin issues. I am so thankful I found him! I refer anyone with a skin issue to him.
– WC

I got an appointment the same day and the medical advice I needed. I love, love Robin Travers – she is not only a great diagnostician but she is an extremely nice and comforting person. She is definitely a big positive presence for your practice.
– RS

Wow! such excellent care… everyone was exceptionally friendly and I think that Nancy and Erin [SkinCare Physicians nurses] should get a raise:) I am so happy that I can play the piano and it is truly a miracle because I could never play it before! Friendliness, competency, service, sense of humor, environment was top notch from Dr. Morton to the assistants that checked me in. …hmmm, might need to make up an excuse for a reason to go back!
– JM

Dr. Travers is amazing. Been seeing her for years. Would HIGHLY recommend her to anyone seeking a friendly, warm, knowledgeable dermatologist.
-AS

Dr. Rohrer is truly amazing! Delivers professional, friendly, and expert care. Incredibly pleased with my visit!

I had such a great experience with Dr. Dover and Sheila at Skincare Physicians recently. Dr. Dover always tailors his recommendations to my needs and allays my concerns with his expertise. I also appreciate that he treats not only his clients but also his staff with care and respect. This was my first time being treated by Sheila, who is a skilled expert in her own right. She took a lot of time with me, making sure that I was physically and emotionally comfortable during my treatment. She is clearly knowledgeable and practiced at her job, leaving me thrilled to know that I will get full benefits from that treatment. Powerful skincare technology is safe and effective if, and only if, it is administered skillfully; I would not trust my skin to anyplace else.

Dr. Arndt is the best. He has been my dermatologist for 20 years. I would not trust my skin to anyone except Ken Arndt. Professional and compassionate. Highly recommend.
– EA, Massachusetts – Posted on Yelp

I love this office of professionals! The experience is so positive from booking my appointment with Manny to my office visits with Dr. Kim who is so nice and kind always, but mostly very knowledgeable and professional. The rest of the staff is always pleasant, respectful and friendly. One of the best medical offices around! I wish they were my PCP too!
– CP

The staff and doctors at SkinCare Physicians are wonderful! I am a patient of Dr Dover and I consider it an honor to be his patient. He is exceptionally skilled, bright, caring, compassionate and professional. He has the unique gift of listening to the needs of his patients, and knows how to create an environment of trust and comfort. The other staff members have consistently proved to be equally professional and knowledgeable in their superior approach to patient care.

– NH

I have never experienced such warmth and friendliness in a doctor’s office.

Dr. Travers has done an expert job of diagnosing my skin cancers, and Dr. Kim has done a superb job of operating on them. I’m truly grateful to them.

– BR

I am extremely happy and satisfied with the care provided by Dr. Dover. My condition significantly improved since I started going to his practice, he is very considerate and takes his time to explain things to his patients; the staff are very professional and compassionate. I highly recommend this practice.

– NN

This is the way a medical practice should run! Outstanding comprehensive skin care. I have seen Drs. Dover and Rohrer and have received excellent care from both of them.

– PN, Massachusetts

I am so impressed by Dr. Kaminer and his team of nurses. They work together incredibly well, creating a friendly and welcoming, yet very professional environment. I was made to feel totally at ease. The team acts as a well-oiled machine having worked together for many years. They are truly expert at what they do. I can’t imagine getting better care anywhere else.

– NR, Massachusetts

This is truly a great and comprehensive practice for all dermatology and cosmetic treatments. Great service, caring providers and you really feel like you are getting the state of the art in the field. Highly recommend.

I absolutely loved my experience at SkinCare Physicians!! From the time I walked in to the office I was treated with kindness and professionalism. The front desk staff were very pleasant and made me feel welcomed. I had a very brief wait and went quickly to the exam room with one of the nurses. She was friendly, kind and again very professional!! Dr Sikora came in shortly after the intake and explained exactly how the treatment would go and what I should expect for follow-up. She was wonderful to work with!! Everything went great and I am happy to be a new patient at SkinCare Physicians.

– DCI, Massachusetts

I have been a patient of Michael Kaminer (the longest), Jeffrey Sobel, Robin Travers, and Joyce Pezzulo (esthetician) for many years now and have always/consistently been happy with every aspect of my care. Not only is the high standard of skin care by the doctors obviously important and realized, but all of your staff have over the years always contributed to my overall excellent experience and constant satisfaction with every person and aspect of SCP. I am grateful to you all for your professionalism, good patient care, and gratifying results year after year!

– JR, Massachusetts

Dr. Dover is the BEST! I have been going to him for many years. He is one of THE TOP doctors in his field. I always feel 100% confident of his skills. I have seen some women who have had fillers and injections from other doctors and honestly, some look so unnatural and overdone. Dr Dover is up on the latest techniques and has years of experience. He is masterful! Aside from that, he was the only Doctor that properly diagnosed a skin condition that I have dealt with from time to time for years. Skin Care Physicians is not cheap; however, I feel you get what you pay for. I would be much too apprehensive to go somewhere else just because it was less expensive. His staff is incredibly professional and they are all absolutely wonderful.

Dr. Rohrer did a wonderful job with my facial Mohs surgery ~ both the surgery and his follow-up appointments were easy to arrange, well-managed and offered great patient support. The scar is nearly invisible, a testament to his skill!!

Dr Morton is fabulous! She offered her honest opinion on treatment options, and I felt very comfortable that the treatment was right for me. Her bedside manner is excellent and I’m thankful to have found her practice.

Dr. Sikora is the perfect blend of personal and professional. I feel very comfortable talking with her about issues or concerns and she reassures me with not only her ability to listen but more so her knowledge and skill.

I am very happy with Dr. Sobell. Thanks to him, my psoriasis is on remission. My disease keeps coming back and he keeps prescribing medications that fight back, rotating them, trying new things out and going back to most effective old treatments. Now if only there was something to get rid of it permanently!

No wait, the doctor listened to my concerns and took me seriously and set up a plan to monitor my skins healing progress. I was taken on time, not rushed — overall it was efficient.

– SB, Massachusetts

The desk staff has been very helpful. Dr Morton is treating me for a keratosis. As this was my second visit, she was right on track with her original diagnosis and likely outcomes. She was prompt, efficient and showed concern.

– DD, Massachusetts

Every physician, nurse, PA, and administrative staffer at this practice is terrific. They treat me as an individual and not just another patient.

Dr. Travers is a warm and outstanding physician. So knowledgeable and clear with her explanations, she has a great understanding and empathy for being a patient. A very rare quality! I learn something about my care each visit, and that makes me feel happy when I leave. Thank Dr. Travers!

– SD, Massachusetts

Dear Dr. Arndt, Dr. Rohrer, Peter, the fellow, the nurses, and the front desk friendly lady, my husband and I recently shared an experience at your office: Mohs surgeries a week apart. Each of you made the cutting edge operation as pleasant as possible and the outcome, we hope, as efficacious as possible. While it might not be the romantic package most would sign up for, we are grateful that our skin cancers were detected and excised, giving us hope for many more – perhaps different – romantic experiences together. With thanks.

– J and R, Massachusetts

Kelly and Meredith both promised me that I’d be acne-free within months; I first started seeing both of them in late December. I have seen Meredith three times for medical facials and I am nearly acne-free now! These two listened to my skin concerns, empathized with me about how embarrassing and anxious-making bad skin can be, and have been so attentive about how I’ve been dealing with treatment. I love them both – their work has changed my life and how I feel about myself!

– JS, Massachusetts

My provider was an RN. She was doing laser hair removal. She was terrific, very professional, and efficient.

My experience at Skincare Physicians has been exceptional on three levels: communication, customer service and dermatology care. 1/ The nurses always communicate to me about needing new referrals ahead of my visit. 2/ The staff at the front desk is exceptional. Loretta goes the extra mile by calling the billing department to solve any issue. 3/ Dr. Travers is excellent beyond beliefs. My skin is now cleared, acne free and my confidence restored thanks to her expertise.

– MS, Massachusetts

I was very apprehensive when I made my appointment not knowing what to expect. I was treated with both respect and kindness as soon as I met Dr Dover.His demeanor as well as his obvious knowledge and clinicalh skills put me immediately at ease. He explained the course of treatment clearly and included my opinion in the implementation of the plan. I had a great visit and highly recommend Dr Dover to friends as well as family. I would be remiss if I did not mention the kindness and professionalism of all the clinic staff.

If you want to be impressed by a medical facility, visit here! The doctors, the nurses, the financial team, and the scheduling team is beyond awesome. Not only does the staff cater to your needs, they do it in such a professional and friendly way that it leaves you smiling. I’ve been to many doctor facilities in my day, and I can’t say I’ve ever trusted anyone as much as these people. I promise that you will be in, not good, but great hands at this location. Thank you for helping me!

– Aaron, Massachusetts

I was in to see Dr. Arndt today and I have to tell you how stellar your entire team really is. From the nurses who reassured me to the doctors who patiently answered my many questions (it was my first time with any sort of fillers) and then expertly applied the injections, I was extremely impressed. The results are outstanding — perfectly natural and yet very visible to me. Thanks SkinCare Physicians team!

– Amy, Massachusetts

If Dr. Dover had told me that I would look this phenomenal 6 months ago, I would not have believed it. I was dealing with phytophotodermatitis from weed whacking wild parsnip. I am experiencing a miracle! Dr. Dover’s talented hands are a given. After all, he has treated me for 20 years now. What was so amazing about my last two appointments was the manner in which Peter and Vianka fit me in at the spur of the moment. Both were so polite, kind and reassuring! Not your average response by any means.

– Linda, Vermont

Dr. Kane is amazing. I’ve been to several dermatologists in various states prior to moving to Massachusetts, and Dr. Kane is one of the few who genuinely listen to my concerns and create a plan that is aggressive enough to keep me content in my battle against acne. I’m so happy I stumbled upon SkinCare Physicians when I moved to Boston — it’s been a great experience!

– Grace, Massachusetts

I think that this is by far the best practice in all of Boston, and perhaps the country and I am very fortunate to be able to be a patient here. Thank you for the excellent service and expertise!

When I was home in Boston a few months ago, Dr. Sobell prescribed a medication to treat my Melasma. I’ve been suffering with these markings since 2006, and had resigned myself to having to wear a lot of make up to cover it all up at our wedding, coming up in February. Because I can’t be there for a follow up appointment, I wanted to be sure to send these photos. Just like Dr. Sobell effectively cured my hormonal acne nearly 10 years ago, he’s done it again! I’d be hugging him in person if I could. Even the cosmetic end of what you all do makes such a difference, especially for women. Thank you so much for nearly a decade of exceptional dermatological care. I wouldn’t see anyone else–even if I have to fly 3,000 miles for my appointments with Dr. Sobell.

Seeing Dr. Kim, is like visiting a good friend who happens to be a great doctor. She is always so friendly and caring. I first met Dr. Kim when I had to have basal cancer removed from my nose in a MOHS procedure. Being 38 years old and picturing the worst, this was terrifying but she did such a great job and with follow up lasers, you can hardly tell. I now go to her for skin checks and all my skin care needs. Dr. Kim is phenomenal and I highly recommend her!

– MC, Massachusetts

Dr. Arndt, I’d like to express my extreme appreciation for a wonderful first visit with your practice this morning. I had an absolutely pleasant experience the minute I walked into the office. Your staff was truly warm and professional and I’m truly thankful for that!

– SD, Massachusetts

Dear Dr. Travers: I just wanted to thank you for the outstanding treatment I received from you and your staff for my case of alopecia. When the condition first developed, I was devastated… Due to your care and recommendations, the alopecia is gone, my hair has grown in fully, and I’ve been off the cyclosporine for a couple of months. Words cannot express my gratitude.

– RP, Massachusetts

I am thrilled with the results Dr. Kaminer achieved with Restylane to fill in the “marionette lines” around my mouth on my recent visit. Dr. Kaminer’s skill is without equal! Thanks to Dr. Kaminer I look years younger and no longer have that very unattractive downturned mouth look. In addition, Dr. Kaminer is extremely caring and personable. Thank you SkinCare Physicians!

– JL, Cape Cod

Dr. Sobell said to me “Let me heal your skin” and he did! I have been outbreak-free since my last appointment (2 months). This is the first time in years that my skin has been clear. Thanks to the Doctors and Staff at SCP.

– BD, New Bedford, MA

Excellent Greetings – Personal phone calls for reminders and listening professionals plus my medical problem is resolved after 40 years.

– RF, Brockton, MA

I really enjoy and appreciate the doctors and Dr. Kim’s kindness. She has helped me out so much. I would recommend this office any day.

– MC, Canton, MA

You guys are the best. I have been a patient at SCP for 4 years. All of the physicians are professional and truly take the extra effort to care about my health. The office staff is second to none. Daniel and his team are always professional and courteous. The physicians and staff at SCP are incredible. I always feel that the practice cares about my health and the staff always “go the extra mile” to make me well. Daniel always makes sure that my appointments fit into my hectic schedule. The physicians and PA’s are professional and unlike any other office I have seen in Metro Boston. I highly recommend SCP to anyone who is looking for dermatologic care. Thank you so much for having me as a patient.

– BZ

SkinCare Physicians make it easy to be keen on them.

I have been a client for several years and have always enjoyed a positive experience and result. I began my relationship with Dr. Kaminer whom I find to be exceptionally skilled and very caring. Thanks to him I look and feel incredible!

I recently began a series of skin care treatments in their aesthetics department. I was skeptical because in the past when seeking skin care, I always felt the aesthetician was focused more on how many products she could sell me. Not at SCP aesthetics department. I have built a wonderful and nurturing relationship with “Eileen”- aesthetician extraordinaire! She is not only an expert and very professional (I would expect no less at SCP), she truly loves what she does and boy does it show! I love the fact that she lets me try a sample of products before I purchase and actually discusses the result. She listens to me and really hears me, she asks lots of questions to clarify and all her recommendations have been a success for me.

Love them all!

Dr. Phillips is a SUPERB physician! She kept us informed in a timely manner and follow-up was
excellent.

– AN

I am always confident when coming to SCP because of the doctors’ and staffs’ knowledge of cutting edge technology, willingness to offer suggestions for skin improvement, and great care and concern for each patient.

– MZ, Bedford, NH

Definitely rejuvenating, revitalizing, and uplifting! Professional and support staff are experts in their fields, warm, caring, and interested in you as an individual. You are more than just a patient. You’re a friend. What a great feeling.

– JB, Wilmington, North Carolina

The staff at SCP is highly professional and informative. I like to think of them as my SkinCare consultants.

– AW, Natick, MA

I have been coming to SCP for years and I feel completely satisfied with the professionals that work there. Kelly Collins is a doctor I have been seeing lately and she is not only extremely professional but a person I feel extremely comfortable talking about my skin issues with. I love SCP and am extremely thankful they exist!

– DN, Boston, MA

The professionalism and compassion of this office is exceptional. They respect and listen to me. Dr. Travers puts me at ease and is reassuring. I believe my skin care is in capable hands @ SCP

Dr. Kim takes such good care of me. I owe the significant improvements in my skin to her! She always thoroughly answers my questions and explains treatment options. I would (and have) highly recommended Dr. Kim to all of my friends!

– JB, Roslindale, MA

Dr. Kaminer is a genius. My ears are perfect like brand new. Thanks so much.

Dr. Michael Kaminer is superb! He explains everything, takes his time with you, addresses your questions thoroughly and his results are amazing, natural, beautiful, and long lasting.

– Anonymous, Newton, MA

It was an uplifting experience to visit a physicians group that was not only efficient and caring, but “sparkled” which enhanced my comfort zone both personally and medically.

Dr. Arndt is superb-extremely well qualified and a nice person.
