“Been seeing Dr Krell for more than 25 years. He is so personable and caring! He is always a joy to visit and gives me the very best advice on my skin condition. He’s had both frozen and surgically removed squamous and basal cell carcinomas. Will trust him always for my skin care, and I’m 77 years old!”

“The most valuable thing to me about this visit was the content of the medical advice. It was simple and doable for anyone. They were quick and so kind and friendly; the whole staff. I would highly recommend. Thank you, staff and Heidi Essig, PA-C”

“Dr. Ives is WONDERFUL! I have been dealing with a condition that flares up periodically. She tried a different approach and I’m so much better after only 2 weeks! She talked with me about some options for long-term treatments, and I’m hopeful for the first time in a very long time. She’s stuck with me now 😊”

“Dr. Michele Hill is a great dermatologist and skincare physician. She goes over your full body and looks for anything abnormal that needs to be addressed. She has a great staff at the Gardendale Office who are very friendly and professional as well. I've been extremely happy since I've been using Dr. Hill for the past few years.”

The staff at Total Dermatology are always welcoming and friendly. Dr. Murthy is very pleasant and efficient. Takes time to explain everything. I had a small growth removed. Painless and quick. Highly recommend!
Total Dermatology Patient, Bessemer
Love Total Dermatology and their staff. From the time I enter the door they are smiling and welcoming. Dr. Sara Hopper always discusses my options and makes me feel as if I’m making the decision to remove a questionable spot and doesn’t just do it. Her staff are always nice and accommodating. I Love Total Dermatology.
