  • I have seen Dr. Hawryluk for many, many years and she is one of the best doctors I've had! She truly knows her stuff very well and I always get excited to see her. I especially love how every time I visit her for an appointment/follow up, she shows a strong enthusiasm in the moles I have all over my body and she always makes sure that they are healthy and won't cause any further harm. If necessary, she is willing to provide suggestions on what to do to take care of my skin better. She will never hesitate to say if she has any concerns. Thankfully, she didn't had any worries this last visit I had with her. We always keep a close eye out on my moles to make sure nothing alarming happens. Overall, it was a great visit with Dr. Hawryluk and it's always great to see her every time we follow up!
