I wish I had found you sooner!

Dear Dr. Sommerville,

I have had severe hyperpigmentation on my face all of my adult life. I have wasted a lot of time and money on treatments at various spas and plastic surgeons' offices that did nothing. I thought I was destined to wear concealer for the rest of my life. Finally, I found your practice online while looking for a dermatologist for my daughter. I liked the website so I decided to also give you a try. Now, after using the Obagi skin care routine for two months combined with in office Sapphire Photo abrasion treatments, I have dared to go out without make-up for the first time! This has made a huge difference in my life and gave me a boost especially after a painful divorce. Dr. Sommerville, how I wish I had found you sooner!
