I absolutely love the staff everyone is so nice and it was really easy to get in soon.

That was a huge gold star for me because there's not a lot of places where you can call and actually get a person on the phone these days. Overall I had a great experience and would definitely be back if ever need be in the future. Thanks again!

I highly recommend Dr. Melson! My 5 stars is for her. I came to this office because my…read moremother-in-law recommended Dr. Sheely. While she wasn't taking any new patients, they were able to fit me in with Dr. Melson. I was nervous because I was already coming from a not great dermatology situation and couldn't find any information about her. I'm here to tell you Dr. Melson is amazing. This dermatology office is located on the second floor of a building that houses other doctor offices. There was a lot of easy free parking out front. The wait time wasn't insane, but I felt like I waited a bit longer than expected. There were also a lot of patients in the waiting room. I came to this office for a very inflamed cyst. The nurse who took my information was beyond sweet. When Dr. Melson came in, she was straight to the point, but she felt like she had the time of day for me. She was super kind and patient explaining the incision and drainage process to me. I also loved that I didn't feel judged when I needed to call my mom in the middle of the appointment to ask her about a medical history question. When I told her my antibiotic concerns, she worked with me to find the best medication. During the procedure when I asked to pause she was very receptive to this. I am so grateful that she helped.

Maybe this is on me, but when establishing care with a new specialist, I would feel that all…read moreconcerns should be addressed in one visit. My primary care doctor referred me here in early December. It took until the end of June (today) to be seen. In December, I was experiencing a severe cystic/hormonal acne flare up. I suffered for several months earlier this year, but now I'm mostly just dealing with face and body scars and isolated recurrences. I hadn't seen a dermatologist in 7-8ish years, so I was looking forward to an overall skin check up. I checked in today and was brought back pretty quickly. When I mentioned wanting to address a couple of mole changes in addition to the acne to the nurse, I was told that they were too busy to do both. She checked with the doctor and returned telling me I had to pick one topic or the other. Despite acne being a priority for me, I opted for the skin scan. Especially due to recent skin cancer diagnoses in my family. The doctor was pleasant during her short time with me and answered a few questions related to the skin check. I had to schedule another visit a month out for the acne. I'm glad it's not another six months, but I am pretty disappointed regardless. I know healthcare isn't what it used to be, but maybe they could consider designating more than ten minutes for new patient exams? I felt like I was a number in a chain of patients, instead of someone she cared to get to know, and having to return to address my original issue feels like an insurance money grab. Just a bummer, is all.

My issue is with their front of office/ office management. I had to cancel an appointment I'd been waiting weeks for last November, due to a snowstorm. It was for a pretty urgent and critical issue. When I tried to reschedule it, I was shocked that the soonest I could be seen was in March! I asked if they could call if they had a cancellation and was told "no" but I could call them every week and ask. It's finally March, and I've endured intense suffering for months now. I've been to urgent cares and my regular doctor, trying to manage what's going on, but it's really a specialist issue. It's less than a week before my appointment and still no confirmation from them so I had to call myself. Add the horrible phone maze to this, and I really wish I could find a dermatologist practice that isn't overbooked like this, and treats people a little more kindly.

The front desk staff often seem unhelpful and uncaring, and reaching someone by phone can be extremely difficult. Many other medical offices in the area have moved to more efficient systems, such as self check-in and streamlined checkout processes, and this practice feels far behind by comparison. Within a 15-mile radius, there are numerous higher-rated dermatology offices, and I suspect their stronger reputations are due in part to more professional and responsive office staff. I began seeing Dr. Caravati, the founder of this group, in the 1970s, and it is deeply disappointing to see how far the practice has fallen from the standard he established.

Fast-forward to January 2026 and I am once again back with a suspicious mole. When I called in somewhat of a panic, I was able to be seen within a week. Richmond Dermatology HEARD me and my concern and thankfully did not have me waiting for months, wondering what was going on. After a shave biopsy and a call from the doctor a few days later with the results and a thoroughexplanation of, I am in need of further intervention. Gratefully, no time was wasted, I have another appointment next week and I feel like I am in good hands. Being that we look at our skin every day and barely think twice about it, its best to stay on top of yearly skin exams, just as you would afford yourself other care. We worry more about what's going on inside of us than we do about our skin, which is the body's largest organ. Not that those other things aren't important, we just forget that our skin is very important, too. I definitely recommend Richmond Dermatology, and I recommend advocating for yourself if you are experiencing something that is or could be scary, like a potential skin cancer diagnosis.
