I've been a patient of Pariser Dermatology since I moved back to the area in 2014. I've seen…read moremultiple providers but most often see Dr. Torosky or PA Lindsey Seddon. 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!

I had an appointment scheduled to remove a cyst. I received a reminder email/text stating I should…read morearrive 15 minutes early which I did. When i checked in, I was told to have a seat. After waiting 45 minutes after my appointment time, I checked with the front desk and was told they were finishing up with an earlier appointment & would be out to get me. 15 minutes later I was called back. As I sat down in the chair I was told that there was 1 more patient ahead of me & it would be another 20 - 30 minutes before they started the procedure because they were short a technician. So my 2 pm appointment for which I arrived at 1:45 and was called back at 3 pm wouldn't start until at least 3:20 pm. I left. It is ironic that while I waited a patient came in 11 minutes after her appointment time & was told she might not be seen because a she exceeded the 10 minute limit for late arrivals. The doctor did agree to see the patient but it floors me that this practice has ZERO respect for their patient's time. What could they have done differently? Well when they realized they were short a tech they could have called patients and given them an opportunity to reschedule or at least be aware that the appointment time would be late or when I checked in I could have been told there was a delay and given the opportunity to reschedule. It seems to me they should appreciate their client's time.​

I went to Forefront Dermatology as a new patient. They're located in the business park by the…read moreHolland Rd and Independence Blvd split. The office has a decent amount of seating in the waiting area and is a good size office. The office is modern and once you go back to see your provider, it's a fresh, brightly lit, new office!! The staff were all friendly!! The room was also nice and clean. The Dr and Nurse were both absolutely patient, kind, and thorough!! They use an iPad for your information and photos, which is nice and seems simple.. Less paperwork I guess!! The appointment process was simple. Check-in was easy. You can also pre-register online to save time. I'm so glad the Doctor took me seriously and treated me with respect! Check them out!!

My husband and I were scheduled for my first appointment here today, after months of waiting. Two…read moredays ago, they texted us to say "Now your appointment is in HAMPTON. Sorry for the inconvenience. Call us to change or cancel." Awesome. So I call this office, but their scheduling department is a call service who didn't know what was going on. It is nearly impossible to get ahold of someone in the actual office. I left a message on a machine at the actual clinic, a person eventually called back but I was in a meeting at work so couldn't answer. But they left a message with their extension to dial to reach them directly. Sounds good, right? Except I called 6 times over the rest of the day (including once maybe 5 minutes after they called me) and they never answered, and the "extension" numbers don't have a voicemail. The next day the Hampton office calls and again I don't answer because I was busy, and I get another extension that no one ever answers. Nice. But they also call my husband, and he does answer! Turns out, they had screwed up their doctor's schedule and decided to reschedule all of the patients to Hampton instead of the doctor to VA Beach, I guess. If we wanted to reschedule, it would be months of wait, again. Awesome. Anyway, despite him saying "we" would like to cancel, they only canceled his appointment. I guess they thought he was using the royal "we". So I called and left a message on their clinic's answering machine that I would like to cancel... and I'm still getting text messages this morning about my appointment in Hampton. I'm realizing now that I dodged a bullet, because no doctor is good enough to justify this level of incompetence and lack of care for their patients from the front of house.

That's where the folks at Skin Renaissance come in, they are committed to getting you the results that you are looking for and doing everything possible to turn back the inevitable hands on time. I had a tattoo that I wanted to get rid of, it was a remnant of my past that I wanted to erase. Fortunately, GROUPON had a special going on with Skin Renaissance for a tattoo removal treatment that brought me to their door. It was the fantastic staff, great service and affordable prices that have kept me coming back. There are so many services available that I can't list them here but I would absolutely recommend booking an appointment to learn what is available to you, if you're looking to make some positive changes in your appearance.

I'll post an update after I complete my treatment regimen, but I'm so thoroughly blown-away already…read morethat I felt it only fair to share my experience. A friend of mine guided me to Skin Renaissance after she had to deal with my barrage of skin complaints. I'm not getting any younger and being a mom now leaves little time for self care, which is required now more than it used to be. My sweet friend kindly gifted me some credit to use and I stopped in last week. I had initially been considering botox, but thought it best to get an expert's opinion. I made an appointment with their NP, Suzanne. I arrived a little early to check in and complete forms. After completing paperwork, I was invited to get a beverage or snack while I waited. They offer hand sanitizer in many locations and everyone wore a mask through my entire visit. They took me back right at my appointment time - also appreciated. My first stop was the Visia skin analysis room where Suzanne and I chatted about my concerns and skin history - I spent most of my teen years in a tanning bed and have a lengthy history of melanoma and BCC, some of which have been removed from my face. The Visia was insightful and allowed Suzanne to make recommendations based on underlying damage and redness (thanks, genetics!). I learned that botox was the last thing I needed, go figure! She offered some really good recommendations, starting with a compound topical which is already providing results in under a week! She also consulted with Julie, the owner, who made the same recommendations. All together, they spent nearly an hour evaluating and chatting with me - it didn't cost me a dime - but it certainly put me at ease to seek future care with them. I am due to return for a follow up and continue treatment and am super happy to go back. I'm already grateful to Suzanne for helping me to feel better about my skin in such a short period of time.

They'll take care of your parking which make it hassle free once you get here. I always get the same great consistent results! The great thing about Skin is that they also contribute to "The March of Dimes" charity, which I think is a very noble cause. Skin also offers the Obagi product line and their lip balm is the best I've had (yes, I love Burts bees but I grab the chapstick from Skin off my dresser any day), they don't push the products but do make recommendations. They're patient, understanding and very professional. They also have Military discount which is cool. You can feel that this business is also family oriented. Knowing that my skin is in good hands, I leave this place feeling more confident. I used to come here years ago but my job takes me all over the place, the Navy has a saying, haze gray and under way. What I miss about Skin though, is Brittney and my last Aesthetician Julie (Thank you for having such high energy), sad that they've moved on but happy that I got to meet Jasmine and Crystal. Highly recommended, I will definitely be back after my tour in Japan if I get stationed out here again (Red Heart Shape). Writing this makes me realize what intimacy really is about, Intimacy isn't always about being erotic or sexual in nature but more like a close and caring nurture and that's what I got from Skin in a major way. The care I get here is the feeling of being nurtured and I think everyone needs a little bit of that now a days.

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.
