She is thorough, her recommendations are evidence-based and she has an excellent bedside manner. She helped clear up some rosacea I had on my face, and I subsequently did a Microneedling treatment with her that did wonders for old acne scars on face. The office staff is subdued, not unfriendly but also not super engaging, and I felt the check-in/check-out process went smoothly.

I'm grateful that a doctor here biopsied it and was able to diagnose it. However, we have to drive two hours away to Baltimore. The Baltimore doctor treated the Bullous Pemphigoid but he would not acknowledge the side effects of the medication. Therefore, we are looking for a dermatologist closer. We cannot continue the four-hour round-trip to be medically ignored. I have written to District Dermatology, and I have phoned them. I have begged for help for my loved one. They will not even give me a referral to another doctor so my loved one can be seen sooner. I cannot figure out why the original dermatologist here, who diagnosed my loved one's bullous pemphigoi, cannot see them. This doctor even told me that she has seen patients with Bullous pemphigoid but my loved one was her first experience with this disease. She told me she treats them with Dupixent. All patients with Bullous pemphigoid have other health concerns. The aging immune system is the main cause of BP. There are also studies about the Covid vaccine causing BP. Personally, I think this practice should have been more involved in getting medical care for my loved one. My son found the derm at Hopkins in Baltimore. If you claim you cannot treat a patient because you think they have "co-morbidities" (even though they are highly functioning and working full-time) my opinion is that you should give referrals and contact them for us. That is only my opinion. That is why I am giving 3 stars to this practice.

Visit ended up costing me $235 for about 15-20 minutes as it was out of network with my united healthcare plan. Our son's pediatrician did mention there would be some level of coverage in the form of a copay and the front desk woman at the office did say she was going to submit the claim with my insurance but there was no benefit besides it counting towards the deductible. As I already pay for health insurance, going out of network was probably not worth it.

I've been coming to this clinic for about two months now, and I only have positive things to say!…read more I had a horrible break out a few months ago, and the products my old dermatologist not only didn't help me, but left me with dry, even more acne prone skin!! I was mortified! But lo and behold, I found this clinic that must have been sent from the heavens, because after being tossed around from doctor to doctor, they're the only ones who have been able to clear my skin! One of the things to keep in mind is that because this clinic is mostly for cosmetic procedures, they do not accept insurance. I must admit, I was a little bit skeptical when they said they don't accept insurance, but I'm so glad I gave them a try or else I would've missed this gem. Every penny I paid had been worth it. I was assessed by Dr. Hayre (the dermatologist), and she prescribed me some topicals as well as an oral medication. She also recommended I do isolaz once a week, which I have been doing regularly. Ratana does my isolaz treatments each week, and she is fantastic! I always look forward to the appointments with her, she's so fun to talk to and is super gentle with the treatment and the extractions (which usually hurt so bad!!). I also have to thank them for being so accommodating toward me. My job is very hectic and sometimes I end up having to stay longer than expected, which makes it hard for me to make it to appointments on time sometimes. Every time this has happened the front desk has been nothing but patient and work hard to make sure that I can make it. They're amazing! Bottom line: if you want amazing skin, COME HERE!

But Id already made an appt., or so i'd thought.

Okay! ready for that with some questions. Showed up early to fill out paperwork and pay, credit card in hand, & had emailed them ahead (now they are claiming they notified me ahead of time that doc. was not in on Weds., but then then their internet was down yeah) only to be told doc. is never in on Wednesdays.

I had my first appointment with Dr. Rachidi today. I was looking for a dermatologist who was…read morein-network and there weren't any closer than ~20 minutes from me. Dr. Rachidi was one of the few who were as close as I could find. Although the lack of reviews on Google caused me to be a bit hesitant, I trusted my gut along with all the other reviews on Zocdoc. I'm glad I trusted the reviews. The office wasn't hard to find and there was decent parking. The receptionist at the office was friendly and the office space inside itself was clean and big. Waited about ~15 minutes to be seen including time to complete my forms and speak to the assistant. Dr. Rachidi came in shortly after and asked what my concerns were. He addressed them very quickly and was informative. He gave me some options and was reassuring that everything I was worried about could be handled easily. He also asked if I needed any help with acne and offered solutions for those too. Overall, I was very pleased with my experience and would recommend Dr. Rachidi and his team at Elite Dermatology to anyone. So many of the other dermatologist office's I've visited in past years are either way too busy, don't have availability until much further out or are a pain to schedule with. Scheduling at Elite Dermatology was really easy with Zocdoc. Results remain to be seen, but I was able to have my concerns address and a solution was applied. Fair note: Dr. Rachidi does speak fairly quickly so just be prepared for that. Although he gives you plenty of time for questions and will repeat any missed information. He even gave me a follow up call a few hours after my appointment asking how I felt and asking if I had any other concerns or questions. Outstanding manners and patience.

So after several phone tags later to my home phone, I then decided to text my cell to them, but they returned a call again to the wrong number. This is a common experience these days with doctors I use, in which the patient must be immediately available to answer their call backs on their schedule, not yours. I'm sure all doctors are unaware of this problem, and thus losing potential patients. So what I end up doing is either finding another doctor or going there in person and making an appointment.

Update: I'm incredibly impressed by how the practice responded to my experience. The manager called…read moreme after I posted my review, apologized, listened, and explained that it had been a very busy day and the assistant had communicated their scheduling policy clumsily. She didn't make excuses and actually helped me get another appointment the next day. My second experience was super friendly and my concern was fully resolved. The doctor was very careful and thorough, and they clarified that their typical approach is to hear patients' concerns and arrange follow-ups if there isn't enough time to address everything at once. I'm honestly floored by their response, as in mistakes happen everywhere, but it takes a surprising amount of care and competence to handle it the way they did. The practice goes out of their way to make sure their patients feel looked after and I'm grateful to have found them! Old: I have mixed feelings about this practice. The doctor and staff seemed competent and the treatment plan was reasonable. However, the interpersonal experience was unpleasant enough that I won't return. I had originally booked the appointment for one concern, but by the time of the visit I had developed two additional pressing concerns which I thought might be related. When I mentioned this, the medical assistant rather brusquely told me that the doctor only addresses one issue per visit. When I explained that two of the concerns were related and offered to drop the third, the interaction still felt unnecessarily adversarial, as though I was imposing on the office. I understand we have limited appointment times and may need to restrict how much can be addressed in one visit. My issue was primarily with how that limitation was communicated and the lack of generosity. It's a little odd to see other comments mention generosity of time, because that definitely wasn't my experience. A friendly explanation that the doctor would address what he reasonably could would have been completely understandable. I left feeling more like a burden than a patient. Given that there are other dermatology practices in the area where I have felt more welcome, I would personally go elsewhere in the future.
