What recent reviews say
Reviewers split sharply on Dr. Overduin's practice. Five-star patients praise her carpal tunnel releases, mole removals, and minor skin surgery as quick and well-healed, with staff described as respectful and thorough. A significant minority report serious concerns: surgical scissors left unsealed on trays, discriminatory treatment based on race or religion, poor follow-up after complications, last-minute scheduling, and aggressive office conduct when questioned.
The practice handles hand surgery and reconstructive cases competently according to satisfied patients, but operational issues and documented incidents of discrimination and sanitation lapses dominate negative accounts. One patient detailed ongoing complications from trigger finger surgery met with minimal support, and multiple reviewers noted the aging facility lacks privacy and professional polish.

Dr Peter Evans
4.4(34)
Most reviewers report strong surgical outcomes with minimal scarring, particularly for skin cancer and reconstructive work. Staff professionalism and facility quality earn consistent praise, though some note Dr. Evans can be brusque and a handful of patients have had negative experiences with the receptionist or rigid scheduling policies.

Dr. Dan Charleton
4.3(22)✓ Google-verified
Dr. Charleton earns consistent praise for surgical skill and honest, empathetic communication, especially with breast cancer patients. Office administration is his weak point: reviewers report missed callbacks, delayed appointment bookings, and staff who don't follow up or apologize for errors.
