"I was referred to Optima by my PCP and my first visit today went really well. From the friendly receptionists who greeted me, to Dr. Barton who was knowledgeable and caring, I left feeling grateful to now have a dermatology office I can go to. Highly recommend!"
"Had the pleasure of seeing Dr. Barton. She immediately acknowledged my main issue and went right to work on it. I had already seen a different dermatologist at a different practice who was very dismissive of the issue and gave me very little of her time. Dr. Barton also took the time to listen to my other minor issues and addressed them. Extremely happy with Dr. Barton, the front desk staff as well as the two assistants in the procedure room and Dr. Barton’s in-training nurse/doctor who was shadowing her. Thank you to all. Great experience."
"Great visit today with Dr. Barton. She addressed my issues and answered all of my questions."
"Everyone, especially Dr. Barton, was especially kind, patient and professional. All very knowledgeable."
