Horrendous service in front Gate keepers in front lack empathy in time of need, urgency & emergency. They wouldn't even give out email upon request. They made faces during conversation. They dont listen rather instead they are condescending Very unprofessional

Dr. Newton is very professional and courteous. He takes his time to explain everything to me about my concerns. Would definitely recommend him to anyone who needs dermatological intervention.

Dr. Newton and his staff are excellent! I called as a new patient with a skin cancer concern. They worked me in without an appointment the next week, and while I had to wait a while since I wasn't scheduled, when he came in, Dr. Newton took his time, answered all my questions, and explained everything fully. I was so glad I chose him! Would definitely go back to him as he is the nicest doctor I've been to as an adult.

Dr Newton is the most caring, understanding and professional Dr I have ever been to. In addition his staff is equally competent. I can not say enough about this great Dr. Thank God there are still Drs who are more concerned about their patient than the money.

Dr. Richard Newton is by far the best doctor I have ever had. It is so obvious how much he cares about his patients...his bedside manner is unmatched. His entire staff is extremely knowledgable and they all make every attempt to be as helpful as possible with anything you may need from insurance concerns to perscription coupons. Dr. Newton encourages calling for any concern you may have. It may take a few months for your first visit if you are a new patient, however, he is worth the wait. Once you are an established patient it is much easier to get a quick appointment. If you know anyone who needs a dermatologist, I recommend Dr. Richard Newton!!
