I have been a loyal patient of this dermatology practice for over 15 years. It used to be a…read moredependable, well-run office. Unfortunately, over the past five years, the reliability and professionalism have declined significantly. My last five appointments have been canceled just days before I was scheduled to be seen because the provider would not be in the office. Five cancellations in a row is not an occasional scheduling conflict -- it's a pattern. Rearranging work schedules and personal commitments over and over, only to have appointments canceled at the last minute, shows a complete lack of respect for patients' time. After more than 15 years of loyalty, this is incredibly disappointing and unacceptable. I will be taking my care elsewhere.

I've always had a good experience at this practice. The office is very clean and well-lit, the…read morestaff is friendly, the doctors are helpful, and they run on schedule! I've had visits with two different doctors and like that the doctors are not afraid to recommend different treatment options and willing/able to answer questions. If anything, my one critique is about how long it can take to get in for an appointment. In my experience, they are usually booking at least a few months out...but this can sometimes also standard for dermatology appointments ‍

I initially visited World Famous Dermatology a few years ago and attended several appointments…read morebefore discontinuing care. My experience at that time felt very sales-driven, with heavy emphasis on expensive treatments, facials, peels, and multiple topical products. Despite spending a significant amount of money, I did not notice much improvement in my skin, which ultimately led me to stop going. In March 2026, I decided to give the practice another opportunity after being referred by a colleague who had a positive experience with Dr. Harper while undergoing Accutane treatment. During my first appointment with Dr. Harper, things started off well. She evaluated my skin, ordered lab work, discussed a treatment plan, and began the process for Accutane enrollment and paperwork. I also purchased prescribed medications from the pharmacy, spending over $200 in addition to my copay. At my second appointment in April 2026, I waited over an hour to be seen. Although I had scheduled with Dr. Harper, I was unexpectedly seen by Dr. Bryant instead. During the appointment, Dr. Bryant appeared to reference records from my visits years ago, and I had to remind him that I had just been seen the previous month by Dr. Harper to begin the Accutane process. I was under the impression that, since my lab work and required paperwork had already been completed and I had started contraceptives as instructed, I would be starting Accutane at that visit. During the discussion, I also had to remind the staff that I had not yet taken the required pregnancy test. After the test was completed, I was told my Accutane prescription had been sent and that I could pick it up that same day. After paying my copay and leaving, I received a phone call stating that there was an issue with my paperwork and that the Accutane process had not been entered correctly. I was then informed I would have to wait another 30 days to restart the process due to the error. At my most recent visit on May 13, I was again scheduled with Dr. Harper but was instead seen by Dr. Bryant. By this point, I was already frustrated due to the previous issues and specifically wanted continuity of care with the physician I originally returned to see. During the appointment, I was once again told there were problems with my Accutane paperwork. I overheard staff in the back discussing that my information had not been processed correctly, my March lab work had not been reviewed, and that I would need to wait yet another 30 days before treatment could proceed. The repeated confusion surrounding my records, lab work, and Accutane enrollment process made the entire experience feel extremely disorganized. What was most disappointing was the lack of communication and accountability. At no point did a physician come speak with me directly to clarify the situation, review the errors, or attempt to resolve the concerns after multiple delays. A simple conversation and better organization could have helped restore confidence and possibly kept me as a patient. Financially, I paid: * First visit: $75 copay plus approximately $250 in prescriptions * Second visit: $75 copay plus $60 for a dark spot treatment * Third visit: expected $75 copay, with the only service provided being a pregnancy test and notice of another delay Overall, my experience was frustrating due to repeated administrative errors, lack of communication, and poor continuity of care during what should have been a straightforward Accutane enrollment process.

I'm not one to slander a business, I really wanted to like this place despite the almost unanimous…read morebad reviews. I went ahead and gave them the benefit of the doubt after reading tons of bad reviews. That's my first mistake. So I've been looking for a black dermatologist for an issue with my scalp. I suspected what my condition was and I just wanted confirmation and to begin treatment. This is not a simple case of acne. I decided to go here solely based on the fact that they are open on Saturdays, so I didn't have to take off work. That's my second mistake. I arrived to my appointment and the front desk staff were friendly and wearing masks (can't say the same about the provider). I check in, wait a few minutes, and I'm called backed. When I made the appointment, I requested to see the doctor, not the PA, because again, this is not a case of acne. So I'm surprised when the PA comes in. Even more surprised at the fact that she was not wearing a mask in the middle of a pandemic. She barely peers in my head for a fraction of a second and gives a diagnosis and prescribed a few things. This diagnosis did not seem correct to me but I decided to try the treatment for a month. The provider was not friendly or empathetic. She lacked all the qualities necessary for good bedside manner. She told me to return in a month for follow-up. This whole interaction lasted about 2 minutes. After completing the month of treatment I sought out a new dermatologist. I've now received the correct diagnosis consistent with what I suspected and am on an appropriate treatment plan for my condition. I decided to write this review after seeing the new dermatologist and how an appointment should go. I'm very happy with my new dermatologist and will not be returning to 'World's Famous Dermatologist'. It was totally worth taking the hour or two off of work to see a competent dermatologist and get on the correct treatment plan.

After several phone calls I discovered it was from Tara dermatology from 2014. They have my current address on file and yet they NEVER sent me a bill.

I don't remember going to the dermatologist in 2014, and I'm not really sure what insurance I had back then. It is really a shame that companies can do this to you without notice.

First, she seemed like she could not understand any thing that I was telling her, as if she was new. I immediately felt uncomfortable with her knowledge as this was my first visit. When Dr. Sharpe came into the room, she barely introduced herself and just starting walking around me telling me what the growths were on my skin without asking me a question. It was the oddest feeling. She started examining my skin all over and I was put off as I still have not said a word to her. When i finally got a chance to speak, she over spoke me and was very dismissive. She said that she was not qualified for the condition that I had and referred me to another doctor, but I threw it away and now seeking another dermatologist as I do not feel comfortable with her, so i don't trust her referral.

She is not only knowledgeable and professional, but also incredibly warm, kind, and patient-focused.

If you're looking for a dermatologist who goes above and beyond, I highly recommend giving Dr. Nichols a visit. You won't be disappointed!
