Very kind and comforting and invested in my health, he didn’t give up on my chronic skin issues I’ve dealt with my entire life, and can proudly say my skin is better than it has ever been! Best dermatologist I’ve ever had, hands down!
Great bedside manner. Communicative, humorous, empathetic!
Very productive appointment!
Very timely, extremely thorough, and personable. I’d recommend Dr. Dorrian to anyone I know.
He did a wonderful job cutting off a squamous area on my arm with no pain before or after.
Dr Dorrian always takes the time to explain in a way that is understandable to me which is so helpful. Never feel rushed.
He's one of the best!
Especially liked working with Dina (Deena?). From her questions and comments, I can see she is thoughtful about patients’ fears and reactions to treatment.
Dr. Dorrian is extremely professional and very thorough with great bedside manner.
Very professional great at answering questions
