Dr. K Holloway at Ocala Dermatology in Summerfield next to Billy’s Cafe. Excellent work and very thorough.

I’m happy with Dr Gurgen’s office in Lady Lake.

We have been going to Alliant Dermatology since 2013. Dr. Casper is our favorite

I, personally, would not recommend Dr. Gurgen's office.

I've been going to Dr. Gurgen too, and I don't know if I'm happy with them or not. It's always hard to tell when you go to a doctor who is looking to find out if you're at risk of dying of cancer and might need surgery, if they're "good" or not. If they find something to cut, are they scalpel-happy? If they don't find something to cut, are they inattentive?

So if you could say WHY you wouldn't recommend his office, that'd be great.

Not sure why he hasn't been mentioned here yet - Dr. Brandon Markus, - The Dermatology Institute, Brownwood Square - telephone 352-834-7546. I've had many over the years and in different states. He is the best I've seen and I highly recommend him.

Interested in the number of biopsies done compared to the number of visits. Went to one place and they wanted to do 9 biopsies! Money maker. Next dermatologist didn’t do any!

Dr Casper is my Dermatologist. AKA Edward Scissorhands! He is very good and knowledgeable but he sliced and diced me last time there. Apparently I needed it! I will go back some day but not soon. Seriously, he is the best.

I realize that more information would be helpful but I don't want to give specific details about why I wouldn't return. I have been to a different dermatologist since being treated in Gurgen's office and I am far happier with the last physician. I have, personally, 3 reasons why I wouldn't return to Gurgen's office.

2nd vote for Dr Knapp. He’s also a Mohs surgeon. In Brownwood.

This isnt the venue to ask for recommendations. Everyone here has the ABSOLUTE VERY BEST DOCTOR, LAWYER AND REAL ESTATE AGENT.

Ask neighbors and friends for rexomendations.

Who also have the ABSOLUTE VERY BEST DOCTOR, LAWYER AND REAL ESTATE AGENT.
