I really cannot say enough about my experiences at Metropolis Dermatology. From the booking system to the office ambiance to the patient care - this is truly an amazing dermatology experience. I always see Dr. Shauna Higgins and each visit has truly been a top notch. Dr. Higgins is attentive, engaging, well-informed, and effective. I have recommended dozens of friends to her and they all have had similar experiences. So glad I found this place!
