This review is long overdue. This is one of the best dermatology clinics I have ever been to. I have been seeing Dr. Garton for over 5 years and she and her team are excellent at what they do. They care about their patients and their overall health rather than just cosmetologic issues.
The location is great, easy for parking and their office is spacious and welcoming.
Dr. Rachel Garton and Dr. Brenda Newman are both well trained experts in their field. I have seen both of them on separate occasions. They both are attentive to your needs, listening to the problem and they take the time to really

I have been going to this clinic since they opened. Excellent doctors, very thorough and terrific bedside manner. I do skin checks regularly and they have caught several things that could’ve been much worse had they not been removed on the early side. I’ve also been to many dermatologists in my day, and the doctors here are among the best. Highly recommend.

Not sure they are professional enough for a real dermatology issue, such as fungus related issues. Had nail fungus and did a lab test here, which costed me over $200. Got their response in two weeks saying my sample did not show any issue. However, I was diagnosed with nail fungus in a different clinic which provided antifungal cream solution that fixed my problem in a few weeks. Very disappointed with their level of professionalism.

I had a terrible experience here back in 2017. I went in to have a small cyst removed from near the corner of my mouth/side of the chin. A very large incision was made and it was sutured up. I was sent on my way. When I returned a few days later, then they removed the sutures WAY too early and as soon as I returned to work the area popped open from the glue they put on it and basically became a gaping hole. I started bleeding immediately. I got an apology and some follow up appointments, but they would offered nothing to correct the damage. Two years later it healed horribly leaving me

My husband has used this clinic numerous time and has been very pleased. It is easy to get an appointment and they run on time. Both Dr. Kyle Garton and Dr. Brenda Newman are very competent and are excellent communicators. I myself called after hours and got Dr. Rachael Garton who graciously and quickly solved my problem. Don't go off island! This office is great.

I would say it was a good experience. The only bad thing was that the doctor confided in me that her nurse said that I didn't have a skin problem or acne ,when they were talking in the hall, and that was what I was coming to get treatment for. I did not have severe acne by any means, but the doctor said she could tell it was enough to seek treatment for after I pointed out that I had makeup on and showed her my areas of concern. She gave me a cream and a pill and I would say three months later it is certainly improved, but not quite yet cleared. Very knowledgeable doctor, slightly unprofessional

I saw Dr. Rachel Garton after getting a tiny piece of glass stuck in my heel. I hadn't even thought of going to a dermatologist for this, but a friend highly recommended her and I wish I had come sooner! My GP had tried to get it out without avail (painfully) around 10 days before. I dropped in without an appointment to Dr. Garton's clinic right before closing on a weekday and they graciously took me in. She was able to get it out, without anesthetic and without any pain...so thankful. She also charged my insurance a fraction of what the GP did (who wasn't even the one who got
