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.

She is very professional, listens to the concerns of the patient, and has a great sense of humor. Her new open and "sunny" office spaces in McLean, VA are located on the first floor - so easy access and plenty of free parking is available. The patient management part of the practice is top notch and high tech - one can fill out almost all of the forms online through their excellent website https://www.districtderm.com/. Any extra forms are completed in the office by use of ipads. Dr Walia and her staff are great to work with - all very professional, courteous and efficient. Highly recommend this practice for all of your dermatological needs.

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. Well, then why was i offered that appt. on Wed. morning? Total BS. Receptionist is having is conversation in back room in Spanish. Receptionist looks a lot like the on-line photo of the doc.

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.

I also appreciate how quickly they get me in and out the office every time. They work efficiently and respect their patients' time. The only downside to doing Accutane through this office is that they don't have a phlebotomist on site, so you have to go to Labcorp once a month (who are not efficient or respectful of patients' time). My previous dermatologist did bloodwork in house. If you are considering starting Accutane, you should take this into consideration as two different office visits makes the process even more of a pain than it already is. But that inconvenience is worth it for me considering how great the Forefront team is. Overall, I am very satisfied.

I had been a patient at this practice for years and had always planned to continue receiving my…read morecare here. Unfortunately, my experience since my previous provider, Dr. Issa, left the practice has been frustrating and disappointing. After Dr. Issa's departure, I went online and scheduled an appointment with nurse practitioner Abigail Shaw. A few days later, my appointment was canceled, and I was text a note that Dr. Issa's former patients were being transferred to another office. I found this strange considering I have been an established patient at this location for years and there are other providers at this location with availability. I tried contacting the office multiple times to understand why I could no longer be seen there, but it seems nearly impossible to actually speak with someone at the Vienna/Tysons office. Calls are routed through a third-party scheduling service that can schedule appointments but is of no help when you have an issue that actually requires speaking with someone at the office. I eventually tried scheduling another appointment with Abigail Shaw, hoping the first cancellation had simply been an administrative issue. This time, my appointment was canceled again 40 minuets before I was supposed to be seen, with essentially the exact same explanation that Dr. Issa's former patients were being transferred elsewhere. What makes this frustrating is that when I look online, Abigail Shaw appears to have abundant appointment availability every day of the week. I cannot understand why an established patient who has received care at this office for years is being turned away and sent to another location simply because their previous provider left, especially when providers at the existing office appear to have plenty of availability. I'm giving two stars because I had been a patient here for years and previously continued coming back for a reason. Unfortunately, the way my care has been handled following my provider's departure, combined with how difficult it is to reach anyone at the actual office, has been extremely disappointing

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.
