Our Client Reviews

Dr. Richardson, Blair, and all of the staff at Natura are amazing! I had a complicated issue a few years ago, and Dr. Richardson was able to diagnose me by looking at the pictures of my leg. My skin is important to me, and I trust Natura to take good care of it.

APRN Blair Ferguson is ON POINT with regards to his knowledge of dermatologic conditions! He has helped both me and many of my friends over the years with issues that have had other clinicians completely stumped. This practice is clean, efficient, and the staff are wonderful! Thanks guys!

Clean and modern facility. The receptionist was helpful. The doctor provided clear explanations and took the time to address my concerns. I felt comfortable. Prompt appointment scheduling and minimal wait time. The overall experience exceeded my expectations.

Dr. Ferguson spent plenty of time with me as a new patient, to ascertain the potential issues on my fingers and toe and then to look at moving forward to address those issues, including blood work and a CT scan... Very pleased with his plan of action and the very professional service he provided me... So far, ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ and would highly recommend...!

This is one business that is very easy to deal with. Great communication and professionalism shown. I would highly recommend them.

Everyone at Natura Dermatology is fantastic! The nurse practitioner Alexis took great care of me. She does a lovely job at explaining everything step by step. Damian, who I think is the office coordinator is very knowledgeable and went above and beyond to fit me in and make sure I was seen for my concerns.
