  • "Dr. Burrows is an incredible dermatologist. She identified a basal cell carcinoma (skin cancer) on my forehead and has held my hand through the entire treatment process. She truly cares about her patients. This is why I have decided to see Dr. Burrows for all of my cosmetic dermatology as well. It is so important to be seen by someone who can assess your whole skin-health before offering cosmetic suggestions. I thought seeing a board-certified Dermatologist for cosmetic services would be cost prohibitive but their prices are comparable to everyone else in Kelowna (with the added benefit of having a Dermatologist assess your skin). I will be doing HALO laser & microneedling for pigment and early signs of aging in the fall and I'm confident I am in the best hands. The IDC Clinic is beautiful and clean, the staff are friendly and knowledgeable and it's a wonderful experience every time I visit."

  • "I had an exceptional experience with the Jet Peel Facial, and I highly recommend it! From the moment I walked in, the front staff were incredibly professional and friendly, making me feel welcomed. The facility was spotless and had a luxurious spa-like ambiance. Ashley, the medical aesthetician, was fantastic. She was very knowledgeable and took the time to explain which serums would be best for my skin type, offering valuable advice. I never felt rushed during the process and was made to feel very comfortable. The Jet Peel itself was incredibly relaxing, and I left feeling refreshed with my skin absolutely glowing. A definite 5-star experience! Thank you Ashley and the rest of the staff at Interior Dermatology!"

My face feels smoother and overall I have much more tightening. Lauren did all of my procedures and she was absolutely wonderful! She made me feel extremely comfortable and in control! Highly recommend Interior Dermatology clinic for any skin needs!"

  • "I recently had a radiofrequency microneedling treatment at Interior Dermatology. I have been working with Dr. Burrows on my skin issues for a while. She is so personable and thorough and has helped me so much. I was curious about anti-aging and Dr Burrows suggested the RF microneedling. Ashley did my RF treatment - she was very professional and did a wonderful job from start to finish. The treatment itself was quite comfortable (a little sensitive in some areas) and I have already noticed an improvement in my skin texture, fine lines, etc. Thanks Dr Burrows and Ashley, and the welcoming staff at IDC!"

  • "Dr Burrows has been nothing short of amazing! I have battled with Psoriasis for all of my adult life and tried numerous treatments while seeing another Dermatologist, with no success in managing my condition. Upon meeting with Dr Burrows, i knew this experience would be different! From the first visit, we discussed my concerns, old treatment attempts, and she was able to make recommendations and suggest a new form of treatment for me. Once starting my new medication, not only did i not suffer from adverse side effects, but my psoriasis has completely cleared up! In over 20 years of battling this condition, i never thought id see the day where its completely gone and feel the confidence of being able to wear shorts without being stared at. I am so thankful for Dr Burrows and her team for providing me with the best experience, that far exceeded any of my expectations. If i could give more than 5 stars, i would! Thank you Dr Burrows, you've change my life in less than a year of meeting you!"
