At Finger Lakes Dermatology, we value our patients’ experience. Read what some of our happy clients say about us!
Dr. Yentzer was terrific. It was my first visit to him and he was patient, explained things well, answered my questions, and respected what was important to me. I’d been to a different dermatologist in town and in two separate visits found her to be short of time, impatient, and unable or unwilling to actually explain her diagnosis or go into any treatment options aside from simply prescribing steroids.
DJ
Very happy and treatment only took two months! Dr. Yentzer was very patient and I highly recommend him.
DM
I went for my first visit. No, wait. He was quick and did not rush to biopsy things, preferring to watch. Excellent dermatologist.
PR
The doctor and nurses were very polite and informative.

Dr. Yentzer is a strong advocate for protecting our environment. In an effort to reduce his carbon footprint, the new Finger Lakes Dermatology building has been designed to achieve a net zero energy consumption. This is accomplished through a combination of high efficiency HVAC, superior insulation, and a SunPower solar array. To encourage his patients to drive electric cars, Dr. Yentzer has also installed a level 2 EV charger in his parking lot. We all must do our part to help preserve this planet for the next generation!
