She followed up with me with phone calls and let me know the results of the lab tests which I appreciate very much
My doctor is absolutely excellent. I feel very lucky to have her.
Dr. Hawryluk is always pleasant, kind, compassionate, professional, and thorough. I am fortunate to have such extraordinary care.
Dr. Hawryluk is a truly excellent dermatologist and we are very fortunate that our kids get a chance to see her.
Dr Hawryluk is amazing! She is so knowledgeable in her field, and was so completely confident in her diagnosis of my son's nevus. It was extremely comforting knowing she was able to tell us it was benign without having to do invasive testing. I couldn't recommend her enough.
Dr Hawryluk always does an extremely careful checkup and notes any new marks on my body. She always reassures me, and addresses any concerns I may have with patience and knowledge. I have no concerns when I leave her office.
I have been seeing this provider for over 10 years and I have always been enormously satisfied with her knowledge and care
