They were able to get me in almost immediately. Staff was very helpful and professional. Dr. Cuozzo was thorough with skin check. He clearly explained what could be done about the area on my face I’m was concerned about."

"After being given a 5 month wait for the dermatologist my doctor referred me to, I sought out another option. I am so fortunate to have found Dr. Cuozzo and Optima Dermatology. My appointment was scheduled for a timely manner. The front office staff, assistant and Dr. Cuozzo were amazing. Dr. Cuozzo explained everything in great detail, made sure that I understood everything discussed and answered all of my questions. I highly recommend!"
- Jessica, Scarborough, ME
"Can’t say enough! Wonderful staff, I was surprised to get an appointment three weeks out, and then they had a cancellation and bumped me into that spot - so just about a week from first contact to get in!!! Thanks to whomever canceled their appointment!!! This was actually one of the easiest medical appointments I have ever had. Everyone was great, friendly, knowledgeable, and Dr Cuozzo your glasses rock!!!"
- Pamela, Scarborough, ME
"Even during these very busy and hectic times, with one phone call, I had an appointment in about a week. That’s a good beginning but it got even better from there. I was seen without waiting more than a few minutes. I now have a solution and a follow up appointment in six weeks. Optima is Amazing 🤩"
- Kevin, Scarborough, ME
"I’ve been waiting for 6+ months at other companies so I called here & they got me in within two weeks! The nurses were great and the doctor was too. He explained in understandable terms why my skin was breaking out, and set me up with treatment right away. He also explained how each med would help. Highly recommend!"
