  • Dr. Demehri is the only dermatologist among the dozen or so I've seen over the years who understood what was causing an alarming number of squamous cell carcinomas and was able to treat me successfully. All other dermatologists simply scooped them out causing months of healing and misery. All dermatologists who have patients with recurring skin cancers on their lower legs need to study with Dr. Demehri to know how to treat them. It should be mandatory learning. He is definitely my hero!!

  • Overall, I was treated with respect. I was communicated with clearly, followed up with regularly and consistently. And any concern that I had, it was heard. And people demonstrated that they were taking me seriously. They also demonstrated that they were concerned. That to me was top-tier customer service where the professionals that I'm working with are professional enough to know that I don't see what they see every day. And so the way that they communicate with me is a way that I can understand, but it's also one that is sensitive to what I know and what I don't know and how I feel. Thank you.

  • I liked my first meeting with this provider. He confirmed many of the precautions I have been taking are good but could be improved with more sunscreen on face and neck [redacted] Dr. Demehri was right on time, very efficient in diagnosing my issues and very reassuring about my treatment plan and continued care. Like every single physician I have encountered at MGH B outstanding! [redacted]
