Testimonials

"I always tell my patients "A dermatologist is only as good as their pathologist." Dr. Millns makes me the best dermatologist I can be! I am astounded that they call me regarding ominous results themselves. They always take my calls, are so easy to talk to and always answer my questions. My diverse practice has seen many rare lesions and diseases. Dr's Millns is so comfortable with rare and odd things. I am confident in all they do for me."
