"I recently had a CoolSculpting session with Lisa Gage and I couldn't be happier with the results! From the moment I walked in, I felt welcomed and comfortable. Lisa took the time to thoroughly explain the procedure and answered all of my questions with patience and expertise. Throughout the session, Lisa made sure I was at ease and constantly checked on me to ensure I was comfortable. She is truly exceptional. The results speak for themselves! I've noticed a significant difference in just a few weeks. I can't thank Lisa enough for her incredible work and would highly recommend her to anyone considering CoolSculpting."

"As a 61 year old patient, I was extremely nervous as my surgical procedures approached. Entering the facility I was acknowledged with kind receptionists and warm smiles which helps when anxiety wants to be number one. Dr. Karmouta and his assistant were warm, friendly and so down to earth. The whole process start to finish was explained and I walked out confident my choice for this facility was a great choice. I would highly recommend this facility to anyone with any dermatology concern."

"Jill is truly amazing! What sets Jill apart is her dedication to listening and understanding my goals. She takes the time to discuss options, answer all my questions, and ensures I feel comfortable every step of the way. The results of the various treatments Jill has provided me over the years including Botox, filler and Halo lasers, have been outstanding—natural-looking and precisely what I wanted. I highly recommend Jill and Optima to anyone looking for a skilled and caring professional for their aesthetic needs!"
- Amy, Stratham, NH
"My 1st skin cancer event - start to finish everyone was informative, professional, prompt and friendly. I can not conceive how my experience could have been better than the care I received. The concern to be sure I was comfortable during the procedures, easy access to their modern state of the art facility made my trip from Gilford well worth the trip THANK YOU!"
- Chuck, Stratham, NH
"I'm fairly new to the area and having light skin, I found a dermatologist quickly but I never quite felt like I mattered there. I felt more like a number than a patient. A friend recommended Laura Anderson to me and I was able to get an appointment quickly. From the moment I walked in the beautiful new building, I was greeted by friendly staff and felt right at ease. Laura is amazing! She answered all my questions and didn't make me feel rushed... I highly recommend Optima Dermatology."
- Wendy, Stratham, NH
"I’m so glad I chose Optima Dermatology for my skincare! Jill Bickford is a true professional and I have had amazing results! The entire staff are friendly, knowledgeable and happy to answer any questions or be of assistance. I highly recommend this office and trust them 100 percent."
- Debbie, Stratham, NH
"Dr. Brienne Cressey is both a physician and an artist. She takes time with her patients because she is committed to her patients, the community she serves, and the joy of her craft. Her supporting staff brings it together as a warm, thoughtful, respectful, and equally as invested in the practices environment as anyone could ask for."
