Testimonials

I’m so grateful for the opportunity to have worked with Peter and Dr. Bae. They were receptive to my ideas, responsive via both email and phone calls, and gave thorough feedback from start to finish. With their help, I was able to dramatically improve my writing and ultimately publish in several peer-reviewed dermatology journals. As a medical student, I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Thank you, Peter and Dr. Bae!

I have had the privilege of collaborating with Peter and Gordon on a recent article for Practical Dermatology, and I can attest to their outstanding writing abilities, clinical expertise, and exceptional professionalism. As associate editor of the Journal of the Dermatology Nurses’ Association, I have witnessed firsthand Peter’s excellent writing skills and careful scientific peer reviews. Not only does Peter bring innovative content to his submissions, but he also demonstrates a vast knowledge base of dermatology and understands what it means to be a good scientific writer. Peter and CIAD are invaluable resources for those interested in dermatology and writing. They are dedicated to helping novice writers become published authors.

Seeing Peter´s inspiring work on surgical techniques published in the JAAD, I reached out and we teamed up to form an international collaboration. We recently published together in the German equivalent of the JAAD. It was, among other ongoing projects, a very positive experience. Having learned of this mentorship project by Peter and Gordon, I am more than happy to share my admiration, and to encourage CIAD.
