Dr. Skelsy is the best of the best. Couldn't recommend her more highly.

I recently went to Dr. Skelsey for an opinion. In this day and age of rushed appointments, I found her to be attentive, knowledgeable, and caring. She took the time to explain everything, in spite of her very busy day, which is quite refreshing in this very busy, unconnected world.

Maral Skelsey and Kyleen Davis have an excellent practice. They are thorough and methodical. Working as a team, they have come up with a solution for a skin issue that my previous dermatologist was unable to resolve. Also important, both they and their staff are extremely courteous and pleasant to interact with.

I cannot say enough good things about this practice and it's staff. I've been a patient for a good many years and they have seen me through some difficult procedures. Doctors Skelsy and Peck are skilled practitioners and their PAs Kyleen Davis and Cynthia Cameron are first rate. Ms Davis recently caught an issue that if left untreated would have been much more serious. The entire staff is caring and compassionate. I highly recommend this practice for routine derm issues but especially for skin cancer screening and treatment.

Dr Skelsey and her whole team are fantastic. I have very fair, freckly skin with a family history of Basel cell carcinoma and melanoma. Dr Skelsey is methodical in her exams and Moe's surgery and her assistant Cynthia Cameron is also excellent. So many Dermatologists are in the business just for cosmetics and are not truly experienced at detecting skin cancer in a serious way. Dr Skelsey is using top of the line technology, and I feel comfortable that as long as I keep getting regular exams by her and her team I can hopefully avoid the melanoma my father had. Lastly, I can't say enough about the office staff. They genuinely care about their patients and the service is first rate, which is so rare to find now, even in private practice.

Not only is Dr. Skelsey a superb diagnostician and surgeon, she is a superb human being as well. Among other fine things she does, Dr. Skelsey calls patients like me post-surgery to see how I am doing. When I was hospitalized for a totally different health issue, she called to find out how I was -- months after my last office visit. She cares. She also has an outstanding staff of knowledgeable nurse-practioners and assistants who are courteous and efficient in what they do. If I could give 10 stars in my rating, I would.

Dermatologic Surgery Center makes me feel so comfortable and welcome each time I come! I am able to make an appointment easily, there is very little wait time in the office, and the service is great. Dr. Cameron is wonderful and makes me feel so comfortable with any questions or issues I have. She is personable and kind and always follows through on any questions I have. Thank you for being a wonderful dermatology center!

Although the doctor is usually booked several weeks ahead, if you need to get in sooner you can schedule with a PA, all of them being very skilled in my experience. The caregivers are very professional and compassionate and go out of their way to make you feel comfortable. They do not rush you, so you have time to ask any questions you may have, which is becoming harder to find in this age of health care. Dr. Skelsey and her professional staff are extremely proficient and able to handle any issue that may come their way. I would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone.

I cannot say enough about the excellent quality of care I have received from Dr, Skelsey and from her nursing staff. My treatment with Dr. Skelsey has been for Mohs surgery and for surgical excision of skin cancers. The surgical procedures are executed professionally and efficiently, and the results in terms of scarring are extraordinary. Appointments are kept on time and there is not a lot of waiting around in the treatment rooms to see the doctor.

Most impressive though is the personal care received from Dr. Skelsey and from her nursing staff. Their focus is on me as a person, not just on my skin cancer as something to be removed. They are willing to take the time and attention to my overall health, comfort and recovery. I feel very well cared for by Dr. Skelsey and her nurses.
