Dr. Krathen correctly diagnosed and solved a medical issue I've been suffering from and that had been misdiagnosed by multiple other providers previously. I'm very thankful to him and this practice.

I have been seeing Dr. Krathen for dermatology needs for several years now. He and his team are extremely knowledgeable, talented and professional and the multiple office locations provide extra flexibility for scheduling needs. Would highly recommend for your individual or family dermatology needs!

I had a terrific experience at Dr. Krathen’s office in Needham. This was my first dermatology appointment in Boston, and they made me feel very comfortable right away. The staff was super friendly, kind, and professional.

Dr. Krathen was thorough and really listened to my concerns, even addressing things my previous doctor had overlooked. The location is convenient with plenty of parking, and it’s right by Rosemary Pond. I’m very happy with the care I received and will certainly be back. I highly recommend this practice and seeing Dr. Krathen in particular!
