Client Testimonials
Every time I visit Spring Skin, I am truly impressed with the competence and professionalism of this top notch clinic. During my last appointment, I had treatment to address some sun damage, a few injectables and the surgical removal of some bothersome skin keratoses. Dr vanVliet took the time to thoroughly assess my skin and offer various solutions. She and her staff also explained every step as we went through the treatments and procedures. Despite the fair distance for me to travel to Spring Skin, I have found it to be worthwhile in every way. I am beyond thrilled with the overall experience and impressive results.

Dr vanVliet and her team in Spring Spring are highly professional and very respectful of privacy and the personality of each client. The office is exceptionally clean and welcoming. Dr vanVliet has an artist’s eye and a surgeon’s hand. I have thorough confidence in her aesthetic advice and skills. I would recommend this office for anyone seeking basic skin maintenance to age defying therapies, from removal of simple skin lesions to more complicated, larger excisions. The end result is an advertisement in itself.

They are friendly, knowledgeable, and always willing to take the time to explain various treatments. The treatments themselves and the results are nothing short of amazing. I would highly recommend Spring Skin!

Dr vanVliet and her team are professional, positive and very personable, I felt very safe in their caring hands. I sought out Dr vanVliet’s advice and treatment for my very fair, northern skin and I am very pleased with her expert advice, experience and how she and her team made me feel so comfortable and took care of my concerns.
