I was formerly a patient. The person I saw is no longer at the practice. When I called to try to make an appointment for a spot I'm worried is cancer, I was told that they could see I came before but that their current provider isn't taking new patients, so I'm out of luck and can't even get on a list to make an appointment there. Complete lack of care for patients. I will not be back and will not recommend anyone use them because when they get a new provider, they will just tell you that you're out of luck and can no longer be a patient. Honestly, I'm shocked because this is not something I expect from Harbin clinic. I guess it's time for a change. read more

A staff that is truly friendly and professional is all that saves this place. The ladies working at the front desk here are courteous and lovely, and I'm absolutely not talking about them when I complain about my overall experiences here. My experience with the doctor has not been nearly so good. The last time I was in, I wanted to get a growth on my finger looked at. Almost immediately, Dr. Pewitt realized that it was nothing concerning - just a little extra skin but definitely not a wart or troublesome mole. He offered to remove it for me, because I didn't like the way it looked. I agreed. The entire appointment - including time for him to look, assess, and remove - took less than fifteen minutes. Imagine my surprise when, a few weeks later, I was billed for several hundred dollars because this office sent the skin off to a lab to have a biopsy performed. Seems a little ridiculous, considering there was never any doubt that this was not a malignant growth. After all, the doctor had mentioned removing it as an aside - not as a necessity. The fact that he intended to send it off for a biopsy was NEVER mentioned. I have a monstrously high deductible, so I am now paying for this expensive and totally unnecessary procedure out of my own cash-strapped college student pocket. When I called to express my surprise and concern about the lab bills, I was told about a state law that apparently requires clinics to submit every skin sample they removed to a biopsy. Again - THINGS THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN EXPLAINED TO ME AT THE APPOINTMENT. Had he said, "I can take this totally harmless and benign mole off, but the law requires me to order a really expensive and totally unnecessary biopsy if I do, and you'll end up spending a few hundred bucks you don't have on a procedure you don't need," I obviously would have made a different decision. I'm sure the doctors here are perfectly capable. I have no complaints about the care I received, and I have no complaints about the lovely staff. However, I cannot get past the fact that this office orders expensive and unnecessary procedures without even discussing it with their patients. If you're visiting Harbin Dermatology and have a high out of pocket deductible, insist on being told ALL THE DETAILS before agreeing to let them do more than shake your hand. read more

If you enjoy waiting weeks for an appointment, waiting a long time when you show up for the appointment, and then being impersonally processed, this is the place for you. Bonus if you enjoy getting generic, unhelpful responses to your follow-up questions in the patient portal! I felt like Rosacea patient number 12,301 during my first visit - I wasn't an individual at all to them. I continued giving them a chance with follow-up questions, and I got very frustrated by the poor responses that didn't address my questions. They could benefit from customer service training for sure! I switched to NW GA Dermatology and have had a much better experience. read more

I highly recommend finding another dermatologist before him! I loved Christine his PA but she is no longer with them. She seemed to be more educated in the issues than he was. He seemed to give me a run around on my daughter's skin back and forth and he was just so unsure. Eczema then doesn't think so she could have an allergy or something he didn't say to me but put in the notes that the pediatrician seen. He did mention to me also could be psoriasis (said in separate visits). The last time I went in he said I don't think it's eczema because that doesn't usually flare up in the summer (I heard him telling the next patient the same thing as we were walking out) Her butt had been flared up and diaper rash cream did not help. He looked at it and then said oh that is not related Eczema doesn't usually effect the diaper area.... ONE STEAMING MOM! Do you know what does effect the diaper area and the DERMATOLOGIST should know.. google search let me know that psoriasis can do that!!!! So beyond pissed that he did not even know that and if he did he DID NOT mention it. We are in the process of getting into a different dermatologist. I wish there were more Pediatric dermatologist that specializes in just children but they are slim to none. I'm in the process of making an appointment for an allergist in the area and a new dermatologist definitely no thanks to this doctor. read more

Dr Pewitt is a horrible provider. I had a standard procedure done, that was very poorly executed. Because of this I have a huge scar that is completely unnecessary. Revision efforts did not make this better. This doctor and his staff are grossly incompetent. He has very poor bedside manner. Extremely condescending and dismissive. I would not recommend him or his staff. read more
