Patient Reviews
Nov 20, 2018
My experience with my visit was fantastic. Mine was a referral to remove a skin tag in a very delicate area. Dr Dierwechter was very informative as what to expect very caring, gentle with a pleasant and professional manor and even a little humor to go along with mine. Dr Dierwechter seemed very experienced and confident which made me feel very comfortable and in competent hands. The assistant was also outstanding. Thank you Dr Dierwechter
