I presented with several skin issues and he was particular to address each and very one. He took time to give me a thorough examination, asked good amount of questions AND really listened to what I had to share with him. And as an added bonus: he is very easy on the eyes! Seriously, I will see him again for his expertise.

I just had laser to correct redness on my face and I am so, so happy with the results. There was hardly any down time and the out-come is amazing. Why I didn't do this sooner is beyond me. Dr. Smith's knowledge and care on this procedure and for the past five years has been wonderful, highly recommend him for any dermatology need.

Scott has the rare combination of great skill and a genuinely caring bedside manner. He is always on time, and still takes the time to answer any and all of my questions. I have seen him for simple and complex treatment, and have found him to be one of the best doctors in Chicago. As a fellow health professional, I highly recommend him!
