It was refreshing to share a story with the Doctor, and he liked it.

He is very thorough to help me get rid of some persistent warts on my hand. Thank you for the help!

Friendly and Thourough

I have been a patient of Dr Kuriata's for many years. I have had multiple areas of skin cancer treated -including Mohs procedures. Everything has been explained to me to my satisfaction. ( I am a medical professional and ask ALOT of questions) but Dr K. and his staff are always patient. I have been very pleased with how well all procedures have healed. He is a great clinician!!

Dr. Kuriata helped me so much with auto immune disease!

I had been rashy and itching for 11 months. I had been to 6 other doctors who diagnosed with only looking at me. Dr. Kuriata spent sympathetic time with me and was willing to take skin samples. He made the accurate diagnosis I had been searching for for so long. I am thankful to be much better at last thanks to Dr. Kuriata! I highly recommend him!

Dr. Kuriata is a delightful Dr. to visit.

I deeply appreciate Dr. Kuriata's expertise. I feel confident that he will not miss anything--he's very thorough. In addition, he truly cares about his patients. He gets to know you, asks about your family and your life, and truly views the patient as a "whole person." There can be no better Dermatologist in the region.

Dr. Kuriata has always provided excellent care!

I feel confident in the services of Dr. Kuriata, and his cordial and professional work in my yearly full-body checks has saved my life as he caught the melanoma while still in situ stage. I highly recommend him as a competent and personable physician for preventative skin care!

botox

I came in for botox. The reception staff was very nice and helpful with paperwork and any questions i had. Nursing staff was prompt and helped with any medical/cosmetic questions i had before the procedure. The provider was pleasant and explained what would be done asked if i had any question. The procedure was quick and fairly painless, just a few needle pokes. No swelling or bruising.
