I absolutely love the staff everyone is so nice and it was really easy to get in soon. They fixed my problem, answered all my questions thoroughly and I really love that I could just pick up the phone and someone answered when I needed it. 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!

Someone should have done a biopsy years ago. So take care and ask for a biopsy if you have a scaly spot that doesn't go away.

was determined that Dr. Rauch would perform the procedure upon my arrival I provided my debit card…read morefor the co-pay. Now that my personal information had been captured I was also provided with a document stating that I would be responsible for any charges that the insurance would not cover up to the amount of $1500.00. This organization stated that they would have full access to my personal account and could make withdrawals at will and I would be notified via email prior to the withdrawal. At that very moment I felt extremely uncomfortable with the arrangement but thinking that I would be adequately notified I would be able to adjust accordingly. Here's where the whole program falls apart. Taking it from the top the first charge, a $25.00 co-pay was debited from my account on 08/16/2016. The second charge of $51.41 was debited from my account on 09/06/2016 and I was never notified. Approximately a week later I was debited with a charge of $104.00 again not notified. I caught this in process and asked it be stricken and a stop put on any further charges, (date cannot be provided because it is no longer on the ledger,) action was reversed. On 09/13/2016 I get hit a second time for the same charge of $104.00 and this time it has been processed, a temporary credit was issued and was reversed on 11/30/2016 finding no fault on the part of your organization. Now mind you, this organization hit my account three times in a period of only seven days with each and every time I have not been notified. Suddenly I'm an ATM for Christine Rauch! I reiterate, I was NEVER notified by email, (or any other form for that matter) of any impending withdrawal. Closer examination of the documents forwarded to me from the banking institution had revealed that one of their staff had input my email address incorrectly as baherden@verizon.net instead of the correct address. Given that this can prove to be a most critical factor it would behoove Dr Rauch and her staff to confirm this information rather than take it for granted. Clearly this organization deserves to be paid, I don't take issue with that. I take issue with this organization being paid at the expense of cleaning out my bank account and leaving me with not so much as enough cash to buy gas in order to go to work the next morning. I am currently 68 years of age, (was 63 at the time of the procedure.) I have an advanced education in aviation, I am grossly underemployed as well as under paid. Since I do live paycheck to paycheck these people have absolutely no idea what it's like to have your checking account cleaned out and you have to knock on someone's door at five in the morning hoping to borrow $20.00 so you can get to work? It's coming to the point where it's no longer a service for a fee, it's all about sucking someone's bank account dry. It's beginning to feel like it's a contest to see who can empty my bank account first. I understand that Dr. Rauch's husband is an emergency room triage doctor. Everyone should be justly compensated for their knowledge and intelligence. Between the two of them I'm willing to wager that together they are knocking down half a million a year. It's really a shame that they have to resort to unscrupulous means to accomplish their wealth. Having worked as a trained and licensed aircraft mechanic were my associates and myself are required to maintain and fly aircraft, were the aviation field to be handled like this office has handled my account there would be a bunch of broken aircraft, a whole lot of dead people and someone would most certainly be going to jail. The medical treatment was excellent, the way I was treated on the business side of the house is absolutely deplorable. If I had to do it again and was diagnosed stage four cancer I would turn and walk the other way rather than to be subjected to this kind of abuse. Brings new meaning to the aged term, "A license to steal." Makes me wonder if a crime has been committed?

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.

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.

No, they'd rather hit my insurance TWICE. Also, there was no "you're good", "your skin looks fine", etc. in regard to the cancer screen. I will not be using this doctor group again.

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.

However there was one particular employee who did not treat me as respectfully as I felt I should have been treated. I arrived fifteen minutes prior to my appointment time, the receptionist was helpful, and performed her job well. I filled out and completed the electronic signature agreement. I am a previous patient with the Hanover location but had to relocate, and I must say I miss the fact that I was always greeted and treated with utmost respect at the Hanover location. I still had 5 minutes I beleive before my appointment time. Like clock-work I always go to restroom pior to examination because I am older and my bladder does not behave properly the way it use to when I was younger. I was also very nervous about my skin cancer screening. I have had cancer removals in the past years, I am always nervous about new cancers, and removals.I needed to go to the restroom but a person was occupying when one of the expressionlist nurse assistants (not sure of her proper title), opened the main doorway and called for my name. I was very polite, still waiting patiently for the restroom to become available, and I was not late, I probably had five minutes left before my appointment and the office was nearly empty, with barely any other patience. I told her I needed to use the restroom before I was seen by my Dermatologist and that it was currently occupied. The young lady continued to stare at me blankly, she appeared to lack any form of people skills. Where was the proper greeting that I never received all while she just stood there as if I had become a burden. I asked if there was another restroom in the building but she just replied with a "no. " She didn't think for one moment to say something logical like, "it's okay, take your time, I'll let the Dermatologist know, just come to the door and call for me after you've had a chance to go to the restroom. But NO, she had to be a nothing burger standing there looking stoned faced. I don't remember the exact exchange with the young women bur my husband was with me, (thank-God), but soon afterwards the bathroom became available and then we called for her afterwards to take us to my room. She did her job while in the room to ask a few brief questions before giving me instructions on how to wear the gown. No expression, or patient care whatsoever, a robot would have served me better! I think James River needs to know that first impressions of a company is usually judged by how humanly friendly your workers are, how well they are greeted properly. Your company is a business and should conduct themselves according, especially how costly medical is these days or how difficult it is to find common courtesy in the mist of the cost that we pay as patience for our care. I understand if this lady was having a bad day but as the saying goes a good employee should be able to leave their bad day at home while and not bring it to work. I don't know maybe this lady is friendly to other people, maybe it was just me she didn't like. Who knows, but Just standing there in the doorway with a gapping expressionlist look on her face, in silence was just outright disrespectful to an older women like myself twice her age and senior! Please train your staff to greet your patience properly, especially people my age who should not feel guilty for needing to releive themselves when there's only one public single restroom available at the front waiting room area. Thank you kindly, Cindy
