    Kristian is the best! She previously detected and removed squamous cell skin cancers and this time found a basal cell on my neck/shoulder that I knew nothing of. She is careful, thorough, smart, kind, and explains everything.

    This service/access to a provider virtually is a much needed mode of care. Thank you for making it work efficiently for the patient. The coordination on the ops side must include a lot of moving parts. Please let the non-provider or non-direct care personnel know that client satisfaction is high and worth their effort!!!

    PA Kristen Shaw did an excellent job addressing my concerns and needs. I am hopeful that her evaluation of potential skin cancers is perfect, as I'm not capable to know what is or isn't a problem. So far she has provided excellent care.

    I have referred 3 of my children to PA/NP Kristen Shaw. She is thorough, patient, and cares. She excised an area that remained a problem despite initial cryotherapy and it turned out to be a squamous cell skin cancer. RN Amy assisted and shared all the same qualities. They are friendly and professional.

    Very disappointed in the lack of empathy and connection shown by Dr. Shaw. I feel the exam was subpar-as a patient with melanoma history these yearly exams are important to me but was very little concern to her. And while she asked my concerns she did not listen or take into consideration my words and opinion . I left the appointment and called Apex Dermatology from the parking lot for a next day appointment to address my concerns.
