Rude front desk worker. Don't waste your time giving your hard earned money to unprofessionals. I'll never go back.

The facility is clean and the staff are very professional. The doctor is very conservative so even if a mole doesn't look like cancer it will be cut off. This about the only thing I dislike as I feel that if something doesn't need to be cut off don't do it. Also, make sure your insurance covers every procedure because you'll end up paying up to 500.00 dollars before walking out of their office for any mole or tag removal. Just an FYI.

Dr Scott Rackett is an amazing dermatologist he is the only one who have me a right diagnosis and the right prescriptioned cream for my face. I saw other dermatologists that were closer to me one that everyone said was really good but gave me a cream for my face that mad it worse. Another one second closest to my house told me I just need to clean my face more and put moisturizer which didn't help. Allergist didn't know what was wrong with my face, the nurse practitioner who works with the allergist gave me a cream the made it works. Dr Scott racket is worth the drive. My Pharmacist recommended him to me.

10 Stars! Great practice, great staff (and most important to me personally), Dr. Scott Rackett is an outstanding specialist and experienced, friendly doctor. Had a full body scan and he clearly explained his observations, answered all my questions and made certain that I understood everything before I left his medical clinic. Highly recommend!
