    After my appt. on 2--2026 I called and requested another anti-biotic to help clear up my skin. The…read morereceptionist, Andrea said she would talk to the dr., which she did. When I called back she was kinda rude telling me that they just don't jump around and pass out meds and that I was the one who refused to have a biopsy done at my appt. (sorry I do not have the money to pay for it as working 2 jobs to just exist) I told them that and they suggested a patch test that would have required me to miss 2-3 days of work which I just can't afford to do. The visit was a waste of money as there was no solution to aid my skin issue. Plus they already knew what medicare was going to pay for my visit and then adjusted my bill accordngly so they got their piece of the pie and I still am stuck with this skin problem. Instead of suggesting maybe something was missing from my diet that would help my skin, I had to do my own research to figure out what types of food would help me heal up my skin. I did find things to help and skin seems to be getting better which is why I said I wasted my time and money. Dr. Drumm is a fantastic lady but think that they need training in food nutrition instead of pushing tests that are hundreds of dollars that most people just don't have money to do and a lot of us just can't. If it is a choice of paying for my lot rent and doing a test that won't fix anything I'll opt for not doing the test. I did have a biopsy done there years back and all they did was give me scripts for lotions, shampoo that only burned the skin, not a comfort. If I wanted to be tortured then that med and lotion was the way to go so my skin could feel burned and irritated., and I wasted over $200.00 plus the cost of the biopsy and visit for what - to hurt my skin and scalp? Went to 4 other skin drs. and they all operate the same way, push meds that don't help just hurt and this place was just the same. Don't want to help you unless you drops some big $$$$$$ first.

    I spoke with someone on two separate occasions who I thought worked the front desk who verified…read morethat my BCBS insurance would be accepted. (This was an accented male). I took the day off and while checking in was told they don't take my insurance. When I explained who I spoke with the front desk knew who I was talking about and said I was misinformed. (Like this has happened before).

    My experience ta Forefront Dermatology in Berwyn was terrible from the moment the medical assistant…read more(who was great) left the office. I had given my list of concerns I wanted addressed to the assistant as requested. When Dr. Meccia came in, she looked at the some of them and was wrapping up the appointment. I asked about my other concerns and she rudely said she doesn't have time for that, if I want more I have to schedule another appointment. Fast forward to receiving biopsy results for an severely atypical mole from their office. I scheduled an appointment to receive an excision and subsequently tried to call their office to make sure my referrals were in order (office side) and that I could get a preestimation for the procedure (billing side). The call system never called back the first several times that I asked for the call back option when I was on hold. The billing office was strange and didn't authenticate my identity until I asked them too. I asked when I could expect to receive my preestimation for the service (when I finally got ahold of them after 3 weeks of calling regularly). They said we can make any promises of a timeline. I said my appointment is now in one week. Can you assure me I will receive this information within 48 hours of my appointment encase I need to postpone or cancel for financial planning purposes. They said yes (just to get me off the line I think). I never received that requested information. When I called the office again, because I had never even received access to my patient portal, it took us a 20 minute long conversation of trying to get access to it because my name and information wasn't registering to realize that they had misspelled my name on all my forms, charts, and medical records. It took them 3 tries of changing my name to get the spelling right. I ended up cancelling my appointment because I don't trust an office who treats their patients this way. I rescheduled with another dermatologist and sent over my pathology report from Forefront to them. I found out at that my name was still misspelled on the pathology report, leading to confusion at the new office as well. Overall highly dissatisfied and would recommend everyone avoid this office at all costs.

    I made a follow up appointment to see the same doctor I saw the previous year. I had a 7:30am…read moreappointment. After driving 45 minutes to get to this early appointment, the receptionist says they no longer accept my insurance. She explained it's been 6months since the change and if I wanted to see the doctor, it would be out of pocket. Of course, this is incredibly inconvenient and why would I pay out of pocket when I have insurance. Furthermore, I was asked what insurance I had over the phone when I made the appointment. She explained that a third party made the appointment and apologized. Absolutely unacceptable. I left to drive 45min back home. People refuse to do good business.

    This was our second visit to this location. During our first experience, my partner needed to…read moreschedule an appointment to get the stitches removed that they just put in, but when he tried to schedule the appointment at checkout, he was told they were fully booked out and advised to go to an urgent clinic, essentially he was on his own. Stitches that THEY put in. I ended up removing the stitches myself at home, which is wild to have to do and honestly blows my mind. This occurred in 2023. Thinking it was a one-time issue, I decided to give the location another try. Upon arrival, there was a sign on the door requesting that IDs and insurance cards be ready. While this is standard, the tone of the sign felt off-putting. Inside, I handed over my documents and was met by a staff member (woman on the left in the photo) who was unprofessional in her tone. She told me I needed a referral to be seen, even though my insurance does not require one. When I attempted to explain, she cut me off, saying "no, you need a referral," and added that she "wasn't risking her job." The situation escalated quickly, with both staff members raising their voices, insisting I was wrong. Despite showing her on my insurance app that no referral was needed, she insisted that I call to get one. I called my insurance company, and after a brief wait, had a representative confirm that no referral was required. When I returned to the front desk, the staff member spoke rudely to both me and the insurance representative, even showing frustration when she couldn't understand the representative's accent. After the call, I was allowed to check in, but the interaction felt unnecessarily confrontational. Another review from two weeks ago mentions a similar experience, indicating this is a recurring issue. I had no issues with the back-office staff, including Trieveonna, Erin, and Shelinda, who were helpful. Erin seemed skeptical about my partner's stitches, but after I called him to give his side without a heads up, he said exactly what I said. Despite the helpfulness of the medical staff in back, the front desk treatment was unprofessional and stressful. The interaction left me shaken, and it's hard to see myself returning after this experience. On my way out, I tried to be polite, but my comment was met with a dismissive response by the woman on the right in the photo. This kind of treatment, combined with the negative reviews, suggests a consistent issue with how patients are treated at the front desk. It's unfortunate because I have had good experiences with the doctors and nurses, but the front desk interaction makes it hard to want to return. Each reply to these reviews is dismissive and frankly insulting considering my same experience happened to another two weeks prior and nothing has changed. I was not rude and did not deserve to be met with such immediate hostility.

I came in with several concerns about my face, and she took the time to really listen and explain what would give me the best results without overwhelming me. In the end, she recommended a filler to address my most pressing issue, and I'm so happy with the outcome. What really impressed me was how comfortable she made me feel. I've seen many injectors before, but with Fiona I felt completely at ease, like I was in the hands of someone who genuinely cares. She's pleasant, articulate, and has the eye and precision of an artist. Even more importantly, she wasn't pushy at all--she never suggested things out of my price range or tried to sell me on extras I didn't need. That kind of honesty is rare and refreshing. I left my appointment not only feeling better about my appearance, but also so grateful to have finally found someone I can trust. Fiona is definitely a keeper, and I'm already excited for my next visit!

    I've been a patient here for about 20 years. They have some good doctors, but the referral…read moredepartment has made it impossible to get any kind of specialist care. It has always been difficult, and blame has been consistently placed on my insurance company. It has gotten especially bad over the last couple years. I have a genetic disease that affects every bodily system, so I require a lot of referrals. Lately it seems the department just does not want to deal with me. Calls go un returned, repeatedly. So I have taken to stopping by unannounced to get things done. I am unable to maintain my weight, and am not being taken seriously. Referrals get faxed to the wrong number, so.e have the wrong phone number, and I get random referrals to places that have nothing to do with my care. I am also recently being asked to give names of doctors I want to see. That is their job, not ours as the patients. Then when I do get names, that I select based on knowledge of my condition,I get told they are out of network, and that I have no out of network care. That didn't sit right with a rare genetic disease, so I called my insurance, who stated that is false, for cases like mine, I absolutely can request out of network care. I've gone in person 2x in as many weeks, because the week prior I saw the dr, and attempted to get 2 referrals, and nothing was done with it. Phone calls placed to insurance, and was told what site the referral department should use to find me care. I called and left a voicemail with this info for referral department. After the week, I hear nothing, so I went in person. She had to rifle through several stacks of papers to find mine. It had literally sat all week with nothing being done. She then faxed the referrals, and gave me copies. I went to make the appointments, and one had the wrong fax number, so that office never got it, and the other had the wrong phone number. I went back today, and it was the same thing. As it turns out, its not just that I'm a complicated case. My coworker just started going here, and is already switching doctors again because of the referral department. Today when I arrived she was on the phone with another patient, asking them if they had the phone and fax numbers for their specialists. Again. This is not our job, its literally what she is paid for! They need a new referral lady. I really don't want to switch doctors, due to my complex issues, but it looks like I have to. I can not keep waiting. I'm already underweight, And have had to reduce my hours at work due to lack of energy, and an active job. I take the day to focus on trying to nourish my body. Honestly, things aren't looking good for me, and I feel like no one cares.
