"I was referred by a friend and so thankful for this recommendation. Dr. Hopkins is so pleasant and very thorough. Nice to find a dermatologist who still checks thoroughly for skin cancers, not just concerned with cosmetics. She has found a good balance between the two. She and her staff were very friendly and knowledgeable. Dr. Hopkins office is also very lovely." - E P.
