She explained that if I would like to return in the event that the keratosis wasn't completely gone, the follow-up visit would be at no charge. After pondering this I did return but requested another provider. While Tim didn't a great job, the front desk woman was very rude. I was a health care provider for decades and would never stand for my staff acting like that. And guess what, they did charge my insurance for that visit. I have tried to reach out to Jaime to resolve this, but phone calls are a nightmare to get through and return calls are non-existant. All I can say is if you go there, "Good Luck!"

I have been a patient of this dermatology practice under its various names for about 25 years and…read morehave had very satisfactory experience with several fine dermatologists on the staff. As a person whose work is done outdoors in the sun I've had the chance to meet many skin care professionals. Last month when I went in for what has become more or less routine maintenance I found that the practice has been taken over by a large organization that obviously views its patients as nothing but Income opportunities. That was made painfully apparent by the new doctor who got in and out as quickly as possible, squirting a few quick spritzes of liquid nitrogen, prescribed a month's treatment of flourouricil, and left after handing me about two days' worth of cleanser and moisturizer and brief instructions. During the second week of applying the medication to my scalp I developed a serious reaction. I telephoned the office twice to seek advice but had to leave messages both times for a voice that assured me I would be called back promptly. When my symptoms grew much worse the following day I realized these clowns were not going to be of any use so I went to my family doctor who immediately took me off the medication and cleaned up the results of their incompetence. Needless to say I won't be going back to them and I certainly wouldn't recommend them to anyone.

I am a frequent flyer, having been first diagnosed with melanoma in 2009 with multiple recurrences since, so I'm here at least every 3 months. This Chesapeake location is clean and easily accessible, though, like most specialty practices you may have a long wait to get an appointment. I highly recommend aiming for a first morning or first afternoon appt if you don't want to deal with providers running behind. The providers have always spent ample time with me to listen to my needs and complete necessary skin checks. I recently needed to change medications and Lindsey researched my options thoroughly, listened to my concerns and we made a plan of care together. They also employ 2 aestheticians for those interested in neuromodulators or custom laser face and body treatments. I am grateful to Pariser for their care!

He also said I needed to make another appointment for the Mira Dry consultation with the Norfolk office. So I just left. F these guys.

It took a while for me to be checked in although there were 4 girls working behind the counter. I filled in my slip and put it face down and walked approx. 15 minutes (while no one else was there) for one of them to pick it up. Finally, they did and I was given some paperwork to fill out and wait to be called. I didn't wait longer than 3-5 minutes after that and was called back for the ultrasound with Lisa who was very nice and informative and happy to answer questions and give us feedback as she conducted the ultrasound. Afterwards, we spoke to Lisa the genetic counselor who went over all the various histories of our families and various things we might be screened for, etc. All in all - it was a good visit - I was walking out about an hour after arriving which is a win. Everyone was nice, and no major issues to report.

This was repeated with each question and statement. If you know Lauren Cowell PA-C schedule with her. Otherwise go somewhere else.

I have now been to the office twice. The location is off the corner of First Colonial and Dam Neck. The parking lot was clean and there were plenty of spaces for a mid afternoon appointment. The entrance is opposite the street. The practice is on the second floor. My child's appointment was with Dr. Kristyn Beck. She is the new kid on the block and practices with two veteran physicians. She trained at EVMS under well known and respected children's dermatologist Judith Williams who is a friend. The staff was friendly upon checking-in. The waiting room is small but adequate. I found it clean and comfortable. Forms can be completed in advance by mail or you can arrive early to fill out in the waiting room. The wait time to see Dr. Beck was reasonable at around 25 minutes after paperwork was turned in. I immediately liked her bedside manner and she hit it off with my daughter quickly. She was easy to talk to and had loads of smiles to reassure my daughter. I found her to be confident and knowledgeable during the exam. An immediate diagnosis and treatment plan was achieved in no time. A prescription was then provided. Dr. Beck is young, energetic and eager to lift her practice off the ground. Most insurance plans are accepted. I'm picky and do not often write physician reviews. This was one I had to write and happy to provide 5 stars.

I recently visited this practice after being referred by my rheumatologist to evaluate a possible…read moreautoimmune rash. Unfortunately, my experience was extremely disappointing. The dermatologist Dr. Dehart did not perform any meaningful examination of my scalp or skin. Despite explaining twice that my rheumatologist needed dermatology to help rule out cutaneous lupus, the doctor repeatedly insisted that "lupus should have been diagnosed through bloodwork," which is medically inaccurate. Cutaneous lupus often requires visual evaluation or biopsy, not just labs. He did not part my hair, touch my scalp, or examine the area where my previous rash had been. I offered photos of the rash, and he glanced briefly and said he "couldn't tell," without offering follow up, options for monitoring, or guidance on what to do if it reappears. In addition, when I asked about hirsutism (excess facial hair), I was told there was "nothing that can be done," and that the medication had been discontinued, both statements that conflict with standard dermatological treatment options. He also incorrectly stated that insurance does not cover electrolysis, although my insurance (Tricare East) does in certain medical circumstances. Overall, I left the appointment with no examination, no plan of care, and no acknowledgment of my rheumatologist's request. This experience felt dismissive, rushed, and uninformed about dermatologic conditions on Black skin and textured hair. I will be seeking care elsewhere.
