Julie Lindsay
Dr. Tidwell is awesome! He is knowledgeable, caring, and skilled. My husband had skin cancer above his lip and he did a great job of removing it as the skin cancer was deep and needed reconstruction. People say they cannot even tell he had skin cancer surgery. We are very pleased with Dr. Tidwell and highly recommended him..

I had a very good experience with Dr. Tidwell and his friendly and helpful office staff. I booked an appointment to evaluate and possibly remove a lip mass, and not knowing how this could be done, I was initially very nervous. From the time I entered their medical facility, they put me at ease, letting me know that my situation was easily resolvable. I found Dr. Tidwell to be confident, very knowledgeable, very professional, and he immediately developed a plan of action. Dr. Tidwell was reassuring and had a pleasant bedside manner. Though I was fully awake for the procedure, I didn’t feel a thing as he removed the mass, and the results looked amazing (clean, efficient, without resulting scars). While I was there, I had a skin screening done and a mole removed as well, with equally great results. His medical office is clean, his staff respectful and compassionate — I highly recommend Golden Coast Dermatology!

Love this office. Dr. Tidwell is amazing, professional, extremely knowledgeable and SO helpful. I had concerns regarding my scars due to accidents and not only did he treat me within 30 minutes but he also made recommendations for future treatments. I have never visited a doctors office where I was in and out and treated and happy within less than 45 minutes. I definitely recommend Dr. Tidwell. He is awesome! Thank you Golden Coast.

Any diagnosis of cancer is scary. Several of my family have a positive history for skin cancer. Dr Tidwell’s office was professional but personal when they told me I too had a skin cancer. Arrangements were made quickly and efficiently for the surgical removal. Dr Tidwell has a professional manner and takes great pride in his work. But his peaceful and calming demeanor sets him in a class of his own. I am truly grateful he was the physician that removed my nasal cell carcinoma. If you have a need for a dermatologist, I can highly recommend Dr Tidwell and his staff, based on my real experience.

I cannot express adequately in words what a great job Dr. Tidwell did with my MOH’s surgery. I had a basal cell carcinoma on my forehead which required a large amount of skin to be removed. I was very nervous about the outcome, scarring, etc. Dr Tidwell was so kind and compassionate and truly went the extra mile to make sure I was informed about the procedure and comfortable with it. He even called the night of the surgery to check and see how I was feeling. It has been 6 months since my procedure and there is barely a scar! He did a fabulous job and I would highly recommend him to others!!!! We are fortunate to have him in our area!

My first experience of dealing with skin cancer and Dr Tidwell made me feel so comfortable always explaining everything in detail. He is the most caring, compassionate doctor and Paducah is blessed to have him. He is a top notch doctor who definitely knows what he’s doing. The first skin cancer he removed from my face required 31 stitches and you can barely see the scar. Thank you Dr Tidwell for taking such good care of me.

I went into Dr. Tidwell’s office to get a new mole looked at. I had been paranoid for a few days beforehand, and he quickly took a look and removed it in the same appointment so that I wouldn’t have to worry about it.
