I see Christy Merrick and appreciate her so much. She gives great insight and advice. A while back I brought in my teenager. We had been to a couple other doctors. Christy diagnosed him and we were able to get prompt treatment. Please go see her, she can help.

Reviews
My wife had a fall on October 8, in the afternoon. She cut her lip pretty badly and we knew she would need immediate stitching and care to heal appropriately. We took her to a local Urgent Care but the healthcare workers there looked at the injury and did not feel they would be able to handle the expertise needed to avoid scarring my wife’s lip and face unnecessarily
My wife, I and other members of our family have been long time patients of Florida Dermatology and have great confidence in the staff. You did not fail us this day either
We called your office and were able to get connected to your Winter Haven Main Campus. We walked in just before closing as a call-in. However, each and every staff member we came in contact with treated us with great kindness and respect. We were especially impressed with the care extended to us by Noelles, Cheryl’s assistant.
Cheryl stayed after hours, made my wife comfortable, cleaned and stitched her wound. She did a fantastic job and we believe there will have be minimal scarring.
Cheryl is always kind and shows great expertise in her field. You can sense medicine is more than just a career to her- it’s a Calling!
Thank you Winter Haven Dermatology!
This office is incredible! Had the best experience imaginable under the circumstances. Dr. Foster and all those involved explained everything simply so I could understand. Next day I received a call just to check on me and reiterate if I had any questions to call. Love this office. Been coming here off and on for years.
