What Our Patients are Saying

"Seen by Dr. Lugo for a yearly check. Thorough, caring, and utmost attention to detail. Answered all my concerns, going above and beyond the line of duty. The office staff is courteous and helpful, the physician assistants are excellent, the facility is immaculate. Highly recommended Dr. Lugo and his staff!!"

- Alberto R

"This is the best place in the world to get skin care! Dr Ross is the best dermatologist we have ever had and his skill in diagnosing and treating skin cancer is by far the best in Florida! And his staff is great as well, if I could give them six stars instead of five I would!"

- Jan S C

"Very nice staff and doctor. Highly recommend Dr. Ross!"

- Courtney C

"Have been a patient for about 15 years. Dr Ross is professional and extremely good at what he does. I have had numerous mohs surgeries and have been very pleased with the outcome. I am very confident in recommending Dr. Ross especially if you are in need of mohs surgery."

- Ray T C

"Dr. Ross was very thorough and attentive. Dr. Ross spent time with me to make sure he addressed all of my concerns. Unlike most doctors I go to, I actually saw Dr. Ross, not his PA. He found one spot, that I would have never guessed was a problem, and he did a biopsy. When the results came back, I was diagnosed with a basal cell carcinoma. Within a week, he performed MOHS surgery and completely removed the cancer. The scar on my forehead is barely noticeable. I recommend everyone to schedule an appointment with him if you want a complete exam for skin cancer."

- Holly W

"It was so refreshing to visit a Dermatologist who didn’t try to sale you a spa treatment or push unnecessary skin care products. Dr. Ross is knowledgeable, accommodating and transparent about billing. Besides doing a thorough skin check, he really listened to what was important to me and handled my concerns realtime vs making me schedule another appointment."

- Penny

"Grateful to Dr. Ross for his professionalism and skill. He has treated me for skin cancer and the results have been fabulous. Mohs surgery on my face with no detectable scarring. Squamous cell near my ankle healed nicely after state of the art treatment. Thank you, Dr. Ross"

- Mary Ann C

"I have been a patient with Dr. Scott Ross for over 30 years. I am so very grateful to have found him. I have just spent the last 7 years in Minnesota and have been very disappointed in the treatment I have received up there. I'm so glad to be back in Naples so that I can rely on the best Dermatologist ever. Doctor Ross is always kind, thorough and informative. I have had a lot of sun exposure and he is very good at recognizing a problem immediately. I have never had a reoccurrence after his treatment. He also has a wonderful staff!"

- Kathie S

"I have been seeing a dermatologist for most of my adult life. I saw many dermatologist back in Connecticut where I used to reside. But none of them has been so professional and insightful as Dr. Ross. He has did some major surgeries and treatments on my skin for the past several years from simple mole removal to melanoma. I can’t say enough about this doctor. He has been so compassionate caring and I trust him very much. I would recommend him for anyone here in Naples, Florida. I also referred other friends and family to him and he’s been so so helpful to them also. I would like to thank Dr. Ross for his fantastic treatment."
