This was my second time seeing Dr. Curtis. You can tell she is very good at what she does and she took the time to examine my skin and explain what I should be doing when examining myself.
Dr. Curtis always explains each area of my skin she is examining and what she is seeing. She always discusses what she would like to do (ie. watch an area next time to see if any treatment is needed). I love this about her. I had a dermatologist in Scottsdale, AZ that did biopsies on me every visit, even though 90% of them were benign. That caused unneccessary scarring and treatment of wounds, not to mention the cost.

I went in to consult with Dr Curtis about my severe skin damage over many years of surfing, body surfing, boogey boarding, wind surfing, boating golfing, tennis.....etc. LOTS of time in the water, at the beach, on the water, on the course, the court, and so forth. Dr Curtis was exceptional in her interest, care, concern and desire to provide the very best in a a treatment plan for me that leverages all the tools and resources of the Univ of Utah dermatology department of skilled practitioners. I felt a lot better when I left knowing I was in good hands and a good system for my particular conditions that seem to grow Squamous cell carcinomas faster that normal and it is hard for a typical clinician to keep up and is overwhelming and deeply concerning to me. But the team approach has helped to identify new ways to approach this problem and so we try it together and hope for good outcomes. Thank you team Dr Curtis, Dr Duffy, Dr Frigerio, Amanda, Dr Millikin, Dr Eliason, et al.

I have seen Dr Curtis since 2018. She had me mole mapped as I have several, and it would be hard to tell if there was a change without the mapping. I go every four to five months as she has found 4 melanomas that were in the early stages and removed through the years.

the care I receive by Dr Curtis is excellent. I could not ask for more in the way she is trying her best to treat me and my severely damaged skin from a life time in the sun. As I have said, it is so overwhelming to me about this, and she said it is overwhelming to her too. We both agree that the damage and best way to treat is challenging. But she never gives up and is always thinking of new approaches tailored to my situation.
Great experience. She explained everything she was doing and took pictures of the places on my back I couldn't see.
Julia Curtis is probably the best physician of any kind I've worked with over the decades. The answers above tell the story, plus she respects her patients and takes them seriously, never talking down or showing the least condescension. I now have both my wife and daughter going to Julia and they feel the same way.
Dr. Curtis is terrific. The best!

She makes you feel like she actually cares about you. She is very thorough with her screenings and always makes us feel at ease and comfortable. She explains things to us clearly so there are no misunderstandings. She goes above and beyond to answer all questions we have including some that are not specifically pertaining to our scheduled visit. We will not go to any other doctor other than her unless it is absolutely necessary and out of our control. We have referred a few friends and they love her as much as we do.
Always feel secure with Julia's examination.
Dr. Curtis is wonderful. She is very attentive and listens to my thoughts. She gives me her honest opinion and I value her expertise.
