Patient Testimonials

  • "All doctors should be like Dr. Terushkin. He not only excels in his craft, but his bedside manner is equally matched which is a rarity. He performed a very delicate and tricky Mohs procedure on my face six months ago and the results are amazing. Thank you Dr. Terushkin!"

  • "This doctor is the best I've seen in 77 years of going to various doctors... Kind, compassionate, efficient, and hardworking. Explained everything carefully -- no sugar-coating, just the facts. Does brilliant work -- takes time to get it right and then moves on. Explains everything. And he plays whatever music you want!"

  • "I had a Mohs procedure March 10, 2020. I felt like I was in good hands! Very professional, skilled, and friendly. His assistants were wonderful also."

    JB, Healthgrades

  • "Dr. Terushkin is an artist! I had 2 areas of Squamous Cell Cancer in the middle of my cheek, requiring a long incision. I thought I was going to look like a pirate forever, but I followed skin mitigation and after just a few weeks, there was NO visible scar. In fact, I have less wrinkles and my skin looks far better than the other cheek. And yes, the cancer is all gone too."
