    Dr. Clemenz is an AMAZING provider. So caring. Listens AND hears. She took time to explain things to me and ensure I felt educated and comfortable. What a Gem! I wish all providers were like her. I am lucky to now have her taking care of all my dermatology needs.She took the time to read my records, I was impressed, she even read my emails with the provider I transferred from. I have already recommended her to friends.
