Dr. McGuire and her staff are top knotch! Her front staff, assistant, and herself made me feel very at ease in asking thorough questions, explaining things clearly, and offering conservative and effective treatment options. In what would feel like an intimidating situation or nerve-wracking appointment to some, I felt incredibly relieved and well-cared for with this team. Not to mention, they have a beautiful, clean, and comfortable clinic. Love this new location in Brookfield; very conveniently located as well. Highly recommend visiting this clinic to see Dr. McGuire and her stellar team for any of your skin-related concerns and needs!

I have been a patient of Dr Kleven for many years and consider her as one of the best. Recently I had a procedure with Dr Straka who was great too. Both Doctors are incredibly knowledgeable, attentive and take the time to listen and explain everything clearly. You don’t feel rushed. It’s very obvious that they care about their patients well being. The nurses, PA’s, and office staff are just as amazing. All very friendly, professional and organized. It’s not always easy to find a place where you feel confident in your on care but Highlander Dermatology truly delivers! Check out their amazing website too. Highly recommend!
