Ms Patel took her time, explanations were simple and understandable. She is actively working on my issues, made a treatment plan and explained it to me. I felt I received exceptional and competent care.
Ashely, the attending Medical Assistant was my first contact, she introduced her self, explained her role in my appointment process. Very professional and puts the patient at ease.
Receptionist was pleasant, checked me in and quickly got my paperwork together for the appointment.
I would definitely recommend Ms Patel and her Medical Assistant Ashley.

Ms. Chandi Patel and her entire staff are wonderful! They are very professional, knowledgeable, and extremely caring. They make you feel at home in a doctor’s office which is not easy to do. I highly recommend Ms. Patel and Sunwise Dermatology!

We Saw Gerard Stroup in the Dover office. I am a RN and was extremely happy with our care. I have not had such a thorough body exam since I left North Carolina.
Not only was i pleased with his clinical exam,he has a very pleasant and calming personality. He explained everything he saw on our skin.
I wish I could give him 10 stars

Very poor customer service. Dr LaRusso and staff are "five star". Problem with portal with NO HELP from practice. Tried contacting a live person for help, NOTHING!

The service I received from Dr. LaRusso and her staff was excellent. Her bedside manner was old school and made me feel comfortable and safe. She is skilled and pays attention to details. In the future if I need facial surgery I wouldn't hesitate to use her as my dermatologist. I highly, highly recommend Dr. LaRusso!

Chandi Patel is the first health care professional, in a long list of professionals I have seen who listened to the symptoms I was experiencing and immediately did a full exam and blood panel for answers. She went above and beyond to ensure that my concerns and questions were met and if there were certain areas where we needed more answers she referred me to additional specialists to find resolution. It is because of Ms. Patel that my folliculitus and thyroid are now under control. It is also because of her relentless pursuit for an answer that I finally was diagnosed with an autoimmune disease and am on an appropriate protocol. I owe her for truly taking the time to listen to me, and for advocating for my health. I would recommend her over and over again.

This was my first visit to this office but the staff was amazing from beginning to end! Heather scheduled my appointment and she was so friendly and accommodating. My actual appointment ended with an unexpected small procedure but Michea and Dr. Caputo were very reassuring and comforting. I asked so many questions and they answered all of them with so much patience. I never felt like I was a burden or like I was being rushed. I truly felt like they cared about the reason I was there. Highly recommend!!

Kelsey and Dr. Caputo left me with hope. Psoriasis has become the "big white elephant " in the room for me. I have seen a Dermatologist in Dover who left me with no hope and no reason to return. Kelsey and Dr. Caputo relieved pain/burning immediately and discussed a plan. Today the burning and inflammation on my shins has subsided significantly and although a temporary fix until better meds deliver, the attention I was given was filled with empathy and expertise as well as many smiles and some laughter. Grateful! I am looking forward to our journey. Thanks Kelsey and Dr. Caputo

I came to the appointment thinking that nothing could be done for my psoriasis. I left in grateful tears that Dr. Caputo listened to my anxiety and is starting an action plan tailored for me.

I found the nursing staff as well as Dr. Jennifer LaRusso to be kind, helpful, informative and compassionate. Bedside manners were excellent! Throughout the procedure the nurse was careful to be sure I would not feel the any pain, for which I was thankful. My husband and I were there for 5 hours and the staff made sure we were well taken care of in every way. I would highly recommend them.

Gerry Stroup PA C, was available at a crucial time when I needed medical attention. His bedside manner was very comforting as he helped me calm my fears and cured my concerns. I’m so grateful for his dedicated care.

I had my first Mohs surgery on my scalp Nov. 2020. I went to Dr. LaRusso for a 2nd opinion & so glad I did! The other facility that I've been with for years referred me to a plastic surgeon as well & wanted to put me in the hospital under general anesthesia for the reconstructive part that I didn't even need! So thankful for Dr. LaRusso & her staff for a great experience & healing! I also just had my first body check with her & couldn't believe how thorough it was! The staff & Dr. LaRusso make you feel so comfortable during the exam. I highly recommend Dr. LaRusso and her team!

My husband and I have been patients of Dr. LaRusso for several years. I probably have never taken the time to write a review of a doctor, but in this case, I felt compelled. Both my husband and I have been seen frequently for a variety of issues, many stemming from being careless in the sun during our youth. I have been treated for a melanoma that luckily, under Dr. LaRusso's careful watch, was found early. I now go every 3 months for check ups. My exams are always very thorough and Dr. LaRusso always explains everything she sees and does. The entire staff treats us with dignity and kindness. I also am so appreciative of the extra courtesy Dr. LaRusso extends to us in scheduling. As busy as her practice is, she always remains flexible with our appointments, when we have certain days that we are unable to come in. All in all, we cannot say enough positive things about this practice and feel so comfortable recommending it.

One of the best dermatology offices that a patient can ask for. I’m particularly a patient of Dr. Stroup, but everyone, from the office staff to the nurse practitioners to the doctors, is a lovely group of people who want to help. I’m a patient of severe eczema and I came here hoping for something different than a standard trip to the dermatologist and I was not disappointed. Gerry is one of the most helpful human beings on the planet, and I can’t thank him or the entire staff enough for making the difference in my life that they did. Would highly recommend anyone in this office, even for something like a quick checkup!

I had my first levulan kerastick treatment on February 23. I was very impressed with the time and effort Gerry and the staff put into prepping me and explaining what would be done. And then, during the treatment, they were always available to answer a question or address a concern. I have a couple more treatments to go and am most confident in what is getting done. And to top it off, they called me a few days after the procedure to check on me. Wow!

We are so happy we were referred to Sunwise Dermatology. The staff are extremely professional and you are always treated with respect. Dr. LaRusso is by far the best. It has been well over 2 years that I have been suffering with skin cancer on the top of my head. Over the past year my head looks amazing. I am 99 years old and Dr. LaRusso understands and goes over and above to treat me like I still count. I will soon be able to look the best I can and that is very important to me. Thank you to the whole staff, and a special thanks to Dr. LaRusso for being so excellent in her field.

Dr. LaRusso is a caring, talented expert in dermatology. I've never been to a specialist that treated me so effectively and efficiently. My face is now clear for the first time in over two years and that is only after being treated by Dr. LaRusso twice and following her directions. Highly recommended.

First visit here and can I say that it was a very pleasant experience. From the front office, the clinicians, and the PA, I was treated very well! I feel like Gerry listened to my issues and didn't rush me out of his office. ( I have experienced this at another dermatologist's office) I am so happy I decided to switch to a different dermatologist's office!
