What an absolute wonderful experience. The provider and her assistant went above and beyond. Their kindness and knowledge was so appreciated when they preformed a procedure on me. They explained it completely. I will be passing on my great experience to friends and family. Thank you Vanguard

As a new patient, I was expecting to wait a while before being seen. Turned out they were able to get me a virtual appt that same day! Every interaction I had here was a good one and definitely plan on coming back for future issues. Highly recommend!

NEW PATIENTS BEWARE - Be prepared to pay extra for services that should be included. For example, if the doctor writes a prescription for you it's an additional $90 charge. Yes, just to write the prescription. They actually bury this charge in the NEW PATIENT OFFICE VISIT FEE. And when I called Vanguard Skin Specialists to discuss this matter, they offered me a financing plan. As a new patient I wish I would have known this beforehand. With a family of four, I personally choose not to shell out 4 separate prescription fees if/when I need a prescription. Spend your money somewhere else where you

This is a patient focused practice with warm staff while at the same time very professional and thorough. Above all they are focused on your health. Procedures take a minimum amount of time with little to no pain. There is little wait time to be seen or treated. I highly recommend them for dermatological needs.

Victoria at The Clara counter is amazing 👏 Great energy and lots of useful advice and recommendations. I've been getting pictures of my skin every 3 months for a year now, and I'm so impressed with the results! Its so great to chart your progress, and it really motivates you to make good choices, regarding your skin care practices. I highly recommend it.

Excellent care at every level. Most importantly, from MA to PA to the MD staff, everyone is exceptionally caring and ensures you are well educated on your status and recommended care. I have been a patient over 12 years and never had a negative experience.

My first time to a dermatologist. P.A. Landon did a thorough all over skin check and picked up a couple of things I hadn't noticed. Quick Biopsy by Olivia and a freeze treatment from Landon. It was pain free.
Both Landon and Olivia did a great job of making sure I was comfortable, and explained everything they were doing.
Very professional, friendly and caring staff.
Thank you!

There are many options available for Dermotology and skin care but how do you know if you can trust them? Typically from a reference or sadly trial and error. Due to reckless sun damage over my lifetime in the pursuit of the deep desire to be TAN at all costs I’ve sadly had A LOT of experience with various skin professionals and I write this review because at Vanguard every single person that I’ve met and have had work done with is not just good.. they are Outstanding! I’ve been to several of Vanguards different offices and it’s always the same level of care, kindness and professionalism
