Age 52, port wine stain - best results I’ve ever seen
I don’t know what all of you are talking about Dr. Groff has been a blessing to me. I am 52 an have had 15 to 20 laser treatments in my lifetime for a port wine stain on my face. I met Dr. Groff about 6 mos ago and have a total of 4 laser treatments so far. THE BEST results I have ever seen so far. I was under the resolve that I will live out the rest of my life with it and just continue to cover it up with thick unattractive makeup . Now I have a hope that I don’t have

Rosacea Capillaries with Vbeam
I’ve had rosacea forever, and dealt with it over the last 30 years primarily with IPL but this didn’t address the capillaries. I went to Dr Groff again, he did a laser “lift” for me five or six years ago and I loved the result, I schedule with him when I need the laser guru. He did a vbeam session with me and the veins are cleared. I’m much happier knowing this can not only reduce my veins but also reduces my rosacea flushing.

Response from Dr. William Groff, DOWe deeply appreciate you taking the time out of your day to share your experience. It's truly an honor to hear that your overall interaction with us was so exemplary. Most dermatologists lack the requisite experience or ability to be able to safely treat veins close to the eyes. Not so for us. Our patients' concerns are our concerns, and it means so much to us that this treatment option has had positive results for you thus far. Please do not hesitate to contact us if there’s anything you need.

Under-eye vein removal with CoolTouch Varia Laser - highly recommend
I've had undereye veins for a long time, since I was 10 due to an incident when I landed on my head and once the undereye bruising went away, I was stuck with these noticeable reticular veins underneath my eyes in addition to other veins. I've had people think I've been hit before and such when it was just my veins and it's been a thorn in my side for a while. I never went without makeup because they were always noticeable, even with concealer on to some degree, and the worst

Great Doctor
I have been to Dr. Groff for a few different laser treatments and have been highly satisfied with the results. He’s very knowledgeable on the many choices of lasers available. He’s honest and does not recommend procedures that are unnecessary. This is something I really appreciate. Dr. Groff has a great personality and knows how to make a patient feel comfortable. I highly recommend him!

Amazing Doctor! He used a combination of two lasers and after a few cycles my scars are barely visible
Doctor Groff has been amazing in treating my surgical breast lift scars. He used a combination of two lasers and after a few cycles my scars are barely visible. I feel so much more confident! His practice has about every laser that is available so I know that I am getting the best possible treatment plan as opposed to other practices who only recommend the few lasers they have. I trust and recommend Dr. Groff for all cosmetic derm needs. I have recommended him to many friends

I’ve had four sessions and I get compliments on my skin now
How to even start. I had a significant amount of rolling scars due to acne as a teen and young adult. After years of trying different things, I just decided that my self-esteem and confidence were worth at least a consultation. Dr.Groff and his team are amazing. He even gave me a 20% discount on every session. I never felt judged or looked at with pity. I’ve had four sessions and I get compliments on my skin now. Thank you so much, words can’t express what you’ve done for me.
