Patient Reviews

I have been a patient of Dr. DiBacco’s for about sixteen years. On my first visit I told him that I was treated for a melanoma when I lived in Michigan. On each visit he does a complete examination of my body. He doesn’t miss a thing. He has found four other melanoma’s that have appeared and treated before they got enlarged. He explains everything he is doing in a way that I fully understand. I have recommended his practice to numerous friends and family and they have all been very happy with his service. I am 81 years old and am so glad I found him.

Dr. DiBacco’s finesse and eye for perfection shows with cosmetic procedures. I would highly recommend him.
Lynda H.

Dr. DiBacco is by far the most thorough dermatologist I have ever seen. As an avid beach volleyball player and coach, I am in the sun quite a lot. I credit Dr. DiBacco with saving my life by his thoroughness and finding the trouble areas early enough.
Jay E.

A visit to Dr. Dibacco’s office is always a satisfying experience. He presents as kind, knowledgeable, patient, and up-to-date on new medical information and techniques. Both my husband and I feel grateful to have Dr. Dibacco watching over our various dermatological needs.
Jane D.

I have been seeing Dr. DiBacco going on 10 years. Truly, a great dermatologist. He cares and is very personable. He is detailed with his assessments and treatments. What more could you ask for except a great personality? Oh, and he has that too!
