Dr. George and his nurse, Lucy, are outstanding. They see my husband, Mike, every six months and treat him with such kindness and thorough care. Lucy is so accommodating and helpful. For a complex case, Dr. George is proactive, clear, and genuinely invested. Highly recommend!

I have been a patient of Dr. Dean George for many years, and I can sincerely say that he is one of the most exceptional doctors I have ever known. His professionalism, kindness, and genuine care for his patients have made a great difference in my life, especially as a cancer survivor. The confidence and peace of mind he gives me at every visit are truly priceless. I also want to sincerely thank Lucy Donofrio, his wonderful medical assistant, for her warmth, patience, and the kind and compassionate way she always takes care of me. Together, they make an extraordinary team. I am deeply grateful for their dedication, their humanity, and the genuine kindness with which they treat their patients.

Dr. Dean George is not only an exceptionally skilled and professional dermatologist but also a genuinely compassionate human being. My 75-year-old mother, a cancer survivor, has been under his care for years. One day, without any clear explanation, her care was suddenly transferred to another doctor. This caused her a great deal of concern and sadness. When Dr. George learned about the situation, he immediately took action to make sure my mother could be seen as soon as possible. He rearranged his schedule to accommodate her and, as always, provided the highest quality care with genuine kindness and respect. Dr. George has an extraordinary sense of empathy and deep respect for his patients. My mother always leaves his office with a big smile on her face, feeling genuinely cared for. For him, patients are not just medical cases — they are human beings. Lucy, his assistant, always treats patients with kindness and respect, making everyone feel at home. I have no words to express my gratitude for her warmth and care. I am deeply grateful to Dr. George and his assistant, Lucy Donofrio, for their professionalism, compassion, and outstanding care. They both embody the true spirit and values of Hartford HealthCare, making every visit feel like a visit with family. Thank you, Hartford HealthCare, for having dedicated professionals like Dr. Dean George and Lucy Donofrio, CCMA, on your team.
