Dr. Skinner is a smart and ethical doctor who really tries to treat you for underlying issues instead of just throwing medicine at you. He is kind and gives thought to what is important.

Unlike my previous doctor, who did not examine or question me regarding my severe back pain but simply referred me to an orthopedic surgeon, Dr. Skinner did both and he arranged for a diagnostic procedure that pinpointed the source of the problem. He then prescribed treatment that helped to relieve the pain.

Great doctor. Not only knows what he is doing, but takes the time to explain what is going on. His assistant, Lance is great. Hard to set appointment though.

Dr Skinner is one of the best doctors Our family has ever seen, but his staff is impossible to deal with. This makes it so difficult to be his patients.

Until Dr. Skinner changes his staff, I wouldn't consider going to him. They are terribly rude, and talk behind their patient's backs. One patient left, and they all started talking about him, in front of 2 other patients! Terrible!!!
