One of the best medical providers I have ever had. Dr. Maura and Kali were very welcoming and helpful. I was very scared about a potential skin cancer but they helped ease my anxiety. Nowadays it is very rare to have doctors listen or be empathetic, so Atlantic Dermatology gets a 10/10 from me! read more

My first visit here. I was recommended to them by the spa where I get my facials done. Pros: very organized and clean exam rooms, waiting room and bathroom. They follow precautions during our pandemic appropriately - they even have signs reminding people not to lean on their counters. Front staff are very pleasant and you can tell they are smiling under their masks, I was so pleased with the friendliness! The parking lot has plenty of parking and the office is near other stores such as target. Cons: I left feeling like I was treated like I was the plague by the doctor I saw. I understand we are in a pandemic but this is the first time I have felt this way in the healthcare field. Although the doctor was not rude, I didn't like her bedside manner. I felt like she didn't want to get close to me and didn't really listen to what I was trying to explain. I clearly had a skin lesion she said she couldn't see. I ended up going to another dermatologist who ended up acknowledging my concern and gave me a special cream for my lesion that she could in fact see. I don't like wasting my time or money. I drove 30 minutes to see this dermatologist and wasted a copay. I have another appointment with them to see the nurse but I am debating whether to cancel that. read more

Dr Hindman is the worst dermatologist ever. You feel sooooo rushed that you can't even explain your problem- literally- before being cut off. If I had read the reviews ahead of time, I would have known this...ugh. Also, his diagnosis was awful. Had to go to someone else to get correct cream. He needs to go back to school to learn how to diagnose and treat patients! read more

Horrific! The office and nice and clean and that's where it ends. They don't care about why you're there or even your health. Dr. Philip Letada could not be bothered to listen to anything or check anything. What a waste of time and money. Fine somewhere else. read more

Dr. Letada should not even be considered a doctor at this point. He refused to remove a cyst from my chin. I am pregnant but have gotten this procedure approved by my OB. He said he thought it could be dental related and told me to visit an ENT who would be able to take an x-ray and remove it in their office or I could go to my dentist for the x-ray and come back to see him to remove it. I went to the ENT who was extremely confused why I was even referred to his office. He said it was a cyst, not related to dental work and didn't see why we should even have an x-ray and basically told me I was wasting my time. So I went to my dentist who also was confused. They said if it was dental related and on my chin, I would be in an extreme amount of pain. My dentist wrote a note to Dr. Letada letting him know it was not dental related and he could perform the procedure. I went BACK to Dr. Letada and he said he was sorry for wasting my time and he wouldn't be able to perform the procedure because of the location with my artery. So his story changed AGAIN. I asked for alternate solutions and he recommended a plastic surgeon to perform the procedure. I took the plastic surgeon's card and threw it out in the trash on my way out. No need to keep spending money on appointments. I received a bill for both my appointments and spoke with the office manager, Tammy who was very kind and understanding. She followed up with him and he told her that he felt he couldn't perform the surgery because the ENT wouldn't do it because I'm pregnant. He said he received a letter from them directing them not to perfom the procedure. This is not true, the ENT never sent a letter. And he said in my second appointment it was because of the location of my artery. And he is still charging me for that second appointment. Again, the office manager Tammy was very kind, followed up with me in appropriate time and I think can sense how ridiculous this all is. But I will not return to that practice that has such a shady "doctor" working there. He is full of lies and excuses. read more

I saw Dr. Leah K. Spring and crew at Atlantic Dermatology today. Prior to seeing her I checked out her very impressive resume. In addition to having many other credentials she is a Fellow of the Mohs Micrographic Surgeon and Cosmetic Dermatologic Surgeon. This credential alone was attractive since I needed to have my face cut. Doctor Spring removed a Basal cell carcinoma. Except for having to cut cancer out, which was 100% painless; this was an exceedingly pleasant experience. Doctor Spring's attitude, humor, and bedside manner were better than most medical professionals I've encountered. She thoroughly explained what she was doing and why. It was obvious that she loves what she does. Her assistant, Kathy, was a pleasure to interact with as well. I will definitely see Dr. Spring again if I need to. Tom P in Virginia Beach read more

I went here to see Dr. Jonathan L. Hindman for a dark patch over my top lip. At that time, I was on Accutane. I asked him what about this dark patch over my lip, and he said there's nothing he could do and he even went on to say please don't go to skin estheticians. I was like really now? I relocated careerwise to the CA. I visited a dermatologist there and he automatically subscribed TriLuma, transenmic acid pills, aha's, and later a chemical peel. The spot lightened to smitherenes. I could now go out without makeup. It was melasma. I couldn't believe Hindman was so cruel and unconcerned with something that has so much stigma, until he just shook it off and then tried to deter me from seeking help elsewhere. I strongly DO NOT recommend. read more

As a combat decorated infantry officer in Vietnam I was referred by the VA to this Atlantic Dermatology Clinic. After waiting for weeks for their call I contacted them and had to wait longer for a return call. When it finally came they said they do not cover work under VA insurance. What sort of company chooses not to help our Combat Veterans even after the VA had agreed to pay for any treatment? read more

Dr Beute is kind, caring, and an excellent dermatologist. I have psoriatic arthritis and a great dermatologist is mandatory for dealing with this autoimmune illness. She is, of course, busy because she is so GREAT! read more

Seeing Dr Novosel has changed my life! I came originally for a rash on my jaw but I kept going back to her to treat my acne, and now for the first time since I was a kid, I am acne free! The front desk staff are always patient and kind to me. Sometimes my appointments start late but that's to be expected in the medical field. Dr Novosel is truly a gem in the field of dermatology and I'm so glad I started seeing her! read more

I see now that my insurance company was charged as though this "surgery" on my legs did happen (draining my abscess). I was billed $167 for "surgery" of which the negotiated rate is $100.00 and I am responsible for all of that on top of the $125 I was billed for the rushed appointment. So not only was I told there was no time for me to get anything done because I had asked too many questions (which was about 5) in the 8-11 minutes I spent with the doctor (of which about 4 he was in the hallway digging around for the book) and told to leave - but I was charged as though it happened. I have filed a dispute and complaint with my insurance and called this office to complain on 02 April. I did speak to Tammy(i)(?) who is their office manager at length on the phone who pulled my chart and admitted that the surgery did not happen as the chart ended up saying I was advised to have it done and could make another appointment so when it comes through my insurance she will re-file it and correct it to have that taken off. I hope so. I'll continue to monitor this though I feel I really shouldn't have to. I did also complain at length about my treatment at this location by Dr. Hindman and his rude, off-putting, hurried and condescending tone. I have often been irritated by the fact that some doctors take it as a personal affront when you question them and talk to people like they are children. I am no child. I hold two degrees with honors, a B.A. and an M.A. from some of the top schools in Virginia (in fact I share the same undergraduate alma mater as Dr. Hindman according to their website) and work for the Department of the Defense. I am no idiot. I may not be a doctor, but I am NOT a child or idiot and I want to KNOW what my issues are, my options, and the repercussions of any treatment. That is no crime and it is not an insult to the doctor by any stretch nor should it be treated as such. The way I was spoken to and treated is exceedingly unacceptable by any establishment that considers itself to be professional and providing quality care. Tammi did say that they schedule their patients at 10 minute increments (as I know many doctor's offices do nowadays to churn people in and out) but that if someone needed more time they can ask the questions they need because some people have no questions while some have a lot so it balances out. Perhaps their doctors feel harried and as though they MUST get in and out and this creates this atmosphere of strain that they work under, I have no idea. I informed her that I had searched online for reviews and have found several bad ones (and left my own), especially at vitals.com (http://www.vitals.com/doctors/Dr_Jonathan_Hindman/reviews) where two other people have said he walked out mid-sentence, rushed them, and did not answer all of their questions. That is NOT acceptable behavior from a doctor who should be sympathizing with and answering questions of concerned and frightened patients who have come to him for his help and expertise. She informed me that, under no uncertain terms, is this their practice and I should have been afforded every courtesy and had my questions answered and that I should not have been treated that way. She said she would inform the "partners" of this and bring it up with Dr. Hindman as well to be addressed. She offered to make me an appointment with another doctor but I told her that I have another doctor (Dr. Gross and Meredith Bundy of Mid-Atlantic Dermatology) who have always been nothing but kind and courteous and sympathetic to my issues who I would prefer to work with after this terrible experience. I want a doctor who takes time to answer my issues and seems to care and genuinely want to help me figure out what is wrong with my skin/legs. Tammy(i) did listen to my concerns and was very polite and seemed to want to try to help. She was very professional. I hope that she does - I hope something is done. I'm sure Dr. Hindman is a qualified and talented doctor (he did go to my Alma Mater after all, go Dukes!) but he needs to work on how he treats patients and treat them with respect and compassion even if he's hurried or having a bad day. It's not their fault and if he sees someone else 10 minutes later, it's not the end of the world. They made an appointment, waited, came on time, and will be charged and they deserve the best quality of care he can give them. I hope he re-evaluates how he approaches people going forward and I hope my complaints result in a little self-reflection on his part, and this practice. Use this as a training opportunity. I saw a lot of elderly patients in the waiting room who may not complain as vociferously as me but certainly should not be treated like I was. read more

Great place to visit if you like a little "attitude" with your visit if you know what I mean.... The office staff is rude, insensitive and loud with patient information, incompetent, and did i mention rude? This office is nothing more than a churn and burn assembly line of patients. An appt every 10 minutes. Well today i spent my last 10 minutes in this office. I had an emergency appt after these incompetents prescribed me a medication that burned my face really bad. While i was waiting they informed me (loudly across the room) that i owed a copay. I informed them i did not and never had to pay one in my last 3 appts with them (my insurance co later confirmed no co pay was necessary). they DENIED me my appointment unless i paid $40. Would not bill the $40 as I had no cash or card with and like i said never was billed co pay before. They completely stonewalled me and would not let me see a Dr while i was standing there in pain with face on fire. I promptly told them exactly what i thought of their practice, their co pay, their policy, the way they treat their patients and walked out in a two middle finger blaze of glory shopping for a new Dr. read more

An OUTSTANDING experience!! The front desk staff, medical assistant, and the dermatologist with whom I had an appointment could not have been any more professional and helpful. I will maintain a long-term relationship with Atlantic Dermatology Associates! read more

What a joke this office has become. Went for some skin tag frozen off n they said couldn't do it but could for cosmetic fee of $180. Pure money grab plain and simple. Sad to see Doctors perverted by money. read more

I've been a patient for several years Dr Beute, her staff, the medical assistants and the front reception are without fail, courteous, professional, compassionate , helpful and service oriented.

Dr. Licata, should not ever practice Dermatology. Said he had been doing Dermatology for 10 years, and couldn't tell the difference between psoriasis and a skin fungus, which there are 40 different types of ringworm. Gave me a subscription for a $550 tube of cream for psoriasis. Got a script for Terbinafine which I told him I needed and now I am cured not to these People's Credit. read more

I couldn't agree more with the other reviewers. Of all the medical offices I visit, Atlantic Dermatology employees the worst office staff. When scheduling an appointment, their employees are short, rude, and unpleasant to speak with. A message to them... Just because your tone of voice remains friendly, your lack of concern & poor attitude makes it clear that this isn't the career path for you. I'll take my skin healthcare elsewhere. read more

They deserve zero stars. These people are horrible. Dr. Beute is so rushed that if you don't talk fast she won't hear it. It's like a whirlwind. Terrible. Then she said she would prescribe something for the eczema on my hands but apparently she forgot to put it in the chart so I never got it. When I pointed out to her office staff that she obviously messed up, they told me I was rude. Meanwhile, they faxed my prescription for another medication apparently to the wrong number twice so I still haven't received my other medication and it's been a month. And who knows to whom my protected health information (PHI) has been faxed. Sure sounds like an unauthorized disclosure of PHI to me since they never explained why the number they faxed it to twice is not number that my pharmacy has on their website. So, bottom line, I wouldn't subject mysel to these terrible people if they were the last dermatology practice on earth. And they're not. So do yourself a favor and don't waste your money,. read more

This was my first and probably last time going there. I was expecting a more knowledgable or interested Doctor. I had a lot of questions, but it seemed that every questioned that I ask was a stupid question. I suffer from very dry skin, asked for a product and the Doctor recommended an over the counter product. If you are a specialist you should recommend the best products for skin care; do not get me wrong, there are some over the counter products that are good, but a was expecting a better product. Asked more questions about skin care and all I got was very short answers, again no interest. Usually the first thing that a dermatologist will ask is how are you taking care of your skin, are you using sun protection? Not even the basic questions were asked. read more

The people at Atlantic Dermatology are great! I see Dr. Novacel and she is a wonderful doc. She has treated a number of my ailments and she has always been spot on with her diagnosis and her treatments have worked well for me. They treat me very nice there. I recommend Dr. Novacel to anyone who needs a good Dermatologist. read more

The dr. was over an hour late for the appointment, no apology or explanation from any staff. The dr. was in the room with me for less than 7 minutes, the dr. diagnosis consisted of pointing me to a website and recommending a test with no explanation about what the test would do or why I needed it. When I left, the nurse hands me a prescription. At no time did the Dr. mention that she would be giving me a prescription. I would not recommend this practice. read more

They are a churn facility as I experienced. I had never been there before and will never go back. Dr. Novosel seemed to be in a hurry and did not want to hear my opinion about what I thought my ailment was. I spent approximately ten mins. with the Dr. and didn't feel that I was being listened to at all. It really seemed like the Dr. saw so many people with problem A that she assumed I must automatically fall into that group and she wasn't even trying to hear the ways my condition differed and is actually something else. In fact, she cut me off each time described how my condition was not what she assumed. Did I say I did not like the way I was being treated? I only went to this place by referral from another Dr. and am not happy that I did. Each time I tried to speak, she cut me off with the condescending "sweetheart" at least three or four times. In fact, she acted as if my speaking to communicate how my symptoms differed from her opinion was an irritation or perhaps it was the fact that I was attempting to advocate for myself and not be blindly told something that did not even fit what I had been experiencing for months. She refused to even look at the products that I brought with me, I keep them at home and use sparingly because I work from home and don't have to use them everyday or even several times a week. What I use are typically natural products whenever possible aside from CeraVe and I brought them all in. She only looked at the bag where only the title of one of the products could be seen, she refused to even look at the products or read the ingredients as if she knew what was in the product she saw let alone the others. She immediately and incorrectly blamed fragrances, ignoring the fact that I told her I don't use fragrances, since I was a child that I was allergic to them. I switched to fragrance and dye free detergent and soaps years ago. She also recommended CeraVe a couple of times but she would not even let me speak to tell her it was right there in the bag that I'd brought and she obviously overlooked it with her many incorrect assumptions about me. I have never been treated so rudely by a doctor. I am an informed patient who attempted to advocate for myself and apparently Dr. Novosel does not like that, it literally offends her. I'm certain she would be shocked if I told her I'm a biology student. If you need a Dr. that will correctly diagnose you or at least perform testing and will not be rushing to the next patient, go to another doctor's office. If you need a Dr. that will listen to what you are saying and will not force their previous experience onto you even when your experience with the issue(s), your gut, and your own research are telling you otherwise, go to another doctor. You do not want to waste time or suffer longer because she has no time to evaluate all the clues sitting right in her face. Otherwise you will waste time and money here. I spent just over a hundred bucks for just about 10 minutes with a Dr. and an incorrect diagnosis from a Dr. that would not listen to me because she assumed, cut me off several times, was very assertive when I presented details and symptoms that obliterated her opinion. I have an appt. at another, highly recommended Dr. who is an allergist and internist as well. As for the front office staff, I had no issues with them but that may be because I arrived on time, came prepared to pay out of pocket if needed, and came with all my forms filled out before arriving. I probably would have let them all have it verbally if the front office was as bad as the Dr. but I still recommend finding a non-churn office and a Dr. that gives a damn. I am sorry that the front office staff has to work with the likes of her. read more

As a physician myself, I hold high standards and expect the same from my colleagues. Dr. Jeffrey Whitworth has the knowledge, technical expertise, and honesty that I value. When I need an opinion that I can truly trust, I refer family and patients to Dr. Whitworth with confidence. read more

I have used Dr. Hindman for 4 years with never a problem. I always found the staff and his nurse pleasant and professional. My visit in April of this year was totally different. Dr. Hindman was totally disinterested in me, not listening to anything I said. He was in such a hurry the in the less than 4 minutes he was with me he found a place he wanted to freeze yet started to leave without doing it. When I reminded him of it he grudgingly returned. I tried another dermatologist in the area and that was not much better. Wow! Doesn't anyone care anymore? read more

This is by far the worst dermatology office I have ever been to. They use a middle management company to handle your prescriptions which later will try to sell you the meds themselves for more than your insurance company will. They will send you to the hospital to do blood work because they "don't do that stuff" over there. If you call (this has happened to me twice) to speak to the doctor or a nurse to consult them about an emergency room visit they won't call back. When I call them back they talk down to me as if its my fault. I have never seen such a dysfunctional dermatology office in my life and considering my military career and constant moves throughout the world I think it's safe to say they are one of the worst dermatology offices at the very least in the continental United States. Patient BEWARE!!!! read more

I would absolutely recommend Dr. Tracy Novosel for any dermatology related issues. I have been to several dermatologist in Virgina and several other states. Dr. Novosel, without question, has provided the most accurate and beneficial diagnosis and care. I recently had a severe psoriasis conditions with my hands and Dr. Novosel was able to methodically work through to a solution. She worked at a resolution for 8 to 10 months. Dr. Novosel mentioned that I was one of her most difficult cases, but she was determined to provide a solution. I can't thank Dr. Novosel enough for her hard work and dedication. My condition has turned around almost 100% and my hands are back to normal. Dr. Novosel is the best! read more

This office has bad reviews and it is clear to see why. Obviously she thinks she is a brain surgeon and is unwilling to work with parents that call in with notice they will be 10 minutes late. Thankfully she requested I reschedule whuch i refused and I found Virginia Beach Dermatology. They have been in business 35 years and know how to treat their patients. It's clear to see she is out of touch with reality and deserves this review. read more

If I could give zero stars, I would. DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME WITH THIS PRACTICE! Two weeks after our visit, I still hadn't heard anything about whether or not the insurance would cover the treatments. So I call. I'm told the nurse would call me back. No call. I call back today and, after several phone calls back and forth, now I hear they can't find the chart, the doctor doesn't work everyday, the doctor is at the Eastern Shore office today, the fax machine has been broken for three days, and the insurance company has denied the pre-auth with no offer to appeal their decision or attempt something else. None of this explains why nothing has happened for more than two weeks. Speaking to the doctor in the final phone call, it was clear she was entirely uninterested in being any help. I'm sorry to have burdened you. Find a new career. HORRIBLE!!!!!! read more

I have visited these folks twice in the past year, once to have sun spot looked at and yesterday to have a mole checked and removed. Regarding yesterday's visit, even though they were busy, I saw my doctor within 15 minutes of arrival and on scheduled time. The receptionist, nurse and doctor were courteous. I'd return again, should I ever need their services. read more
