Questionable billing practices at best. I work for a large health system in the area and deal with insurance company's on a daily basis - I can't for the life of me understand what they're up to. I was charged 3x my office visit co-pay for a specialist visit because I had an "office visit deductible." False -- but I had to get to work so I paid it and called blue cross on my way to the office. The rep was equally as perplexed and called her office immediately. They were reluctant to provide a reason as to why they collected that much so we decided to wait for the charge/cpt/procedure to hit. Just as we suspected -- nothing billed that would justify collecting $110 at time of service for an annual check up. Reading some other reviews on here this sounds like it's not out of character. My BCBS rep said he was going to escalate this to provider enrollment because he frankly just didn't think anything about the practices methods added up. I suspect it's mostly laziness with a touch of the practice not suspecting people will think twice once they walk out t You've been forewarned! read more

Very happy with Dr. Household Marjan. Excellent work done quickly at a reasonable price. My only regret is that I didn't come sooner. read more

My whole family has been going to Dr. Yousefi for years. She really knows her stuff, and I always feel well taken care of after my visits. She is professional and kind, and I recommend her. read more

This review for for the Arlington office.. My physician assistant that has been seeing me for my dermatology reasons has been amazing.. one of the best and nicest health professionals I have ever met. It has been a privilege having her as my dermatology specialist for a 1 1/2 years I give her 5 stars all the way! Now the office staff and how their practice is ran is a different story. I give them zero stars.. the day of my appointment I was given a surprise $150 bill that I did not expect. They received the payment from my insurance for 2 weeks and never told me this bill was coming my way. When I arrived to my appointment they said that I had to pay the bill or else I couldn't see my dermatologist for the appointment. So I rescheduled and did my research... I had an extra piece of cosmetic removal done and my dermatologist billed for it.. she never told me that she will bill for the extra procedure. If I knew that I would've checked with my insurance first before going through with it. I'm not the type that likes these kind of surprises and the office never gave me a good reason to why they never called me when the insurance didn't pay for the extra procedure as soon as they were notified.. they waited until the day of my appointment 2 weeks later. This was not my first bad experience with the administrative staff. Due to this.. I will never be doing business with this practice again. read more

Dr yousefi is amazing she treated my acne. She's very sweet gentle and BRUTALLY HONEST. She will not waste your time or money. If she doesn't think a certain treatment would work for you she won't lie to sell you the service she will tell u. Her nurses are sweet they helped me get my meds. And always greeted in person as If we are best friends. All very nice girls I highly recommend. I DO NOT RECOMMEND HER PRACTICE IF U ARE IMPATIENT BECAUSE SHE RUNS LATE BUT SHE DOES TAKE HER TIME TO FULLY EVALUATE all my CONCERNS THROUGHLY. So I think it's worth the wait. She's booked 3 months ahead for a reason I feel. Billing department is a joke they take forever to fix my bill. Keep your receipts! read more

Dr. Yousefi's been my dermatologist for more than 5 years now. Very professional, thorough, warm, and efficient. Has a colleague entering what she sees during the examination. Easy appointment system, office location, access and appointments pretty much on time. Had a mole removed and didn't feel a thing! Good at offering options 'if this isn't bothering you, you can let it be'. I'll keep coming back, she's great! read more

I rarely write reviews, but I am so glad I was referred to this clinic- everyone is very kind and professional. I needed a skin scan and some Sun damage spots removed. Gillian the PA-C was so thorough and reassuring...my significant other was with me- she just had a skin scan elsewhere and said she wished Gillian had done it, as Gillian is so attentive to every detail. I've needed return visits and the level of care is excellent. I don't understand how anyone could give this clinic less than 5 stars (maybe those reviews are from a competitor.) Truly, this is a great clinic, Gillian rocks and billing has been a breeze. I'm glad my insurance company recommended me to this clinic. read more

I have been seeing Dr Yousefi and her team for years. They are very professional and thorough - highly recommend!

I am a huge fan of this office and Dr. Yousefi. She is incredibly thorough and very conservative. Highlights - There is ALWAYS parking and it is free. The office check-in is fast and efficient. You are back in a room very quickly. Dr. Yousefi is very detailed and answers all of your questions. There is no rush at all. She leaves detailed messages on any follow-ups and is available if you have further questions. I trust my skin health to Dr. Yousefi read more

****DO NOT GO HERE****this practice violated HIPAA and contacted my Emergency Contact person to confirm an upcoming appointment, sent me a confirmation appointment reminder for a DIFFERENT location than where appointment was supposed to be, the Doctor never had courtesy to even introduce herself and I NEVER met the actual Doctor, and they constantly tried taking advantage of my insurance $$$ by trying to make me a return patient every 6 months for unnecessary reasons until I finally said I'm not returning AT ALL, EVER. HORRIBLE! read more

Have been going to her practice for years now. She's always great in explaining the different treatments in detail. This time around, our teen saw Melanie. She's also great, very accomodating, detailed, she didn't rush at all and friendly. read more

I saw Dr. Yousefi a few years ago for acne and other minor cosmetic concerns. My experience with her was average at best. Her bedside manner needs much refinement. When I inquired about laser therapy to remove acne scarring, she said it wouldn't be an option because "you're not white". In addition to being untrue (I'm mixed), it is an awkward way of getting her message across. It would have been more appropriate to say something along the lines of "the procedure is reserved for very fair skin tones, because..." I didn't correct her, but it bothered me that she didn't suggest any alternatives. She also seemed bored. I got the impression that she wasn't particularly listening or happy to be there. Very dismissive. I ended up seeking treatment from an excellent dermatologist (Dr. David Bray in Alexandria) who was extremely helpful, and funny enough, actually recommended the laser therapy Dr. Yousefi shot down. read more

This is for the Arlington office. I went for a new patient appointment and arrived a few minutes before my scheduled time. The waiting room was packed. I waited 40 minutes and only 2 patients were called back the entire time. No explanation or apology for the wait. I decided to leave without seeing the doctor, so I can't really rate her. And it was no surprise that I did not get a follow-up call to apologize. There are other options. read more

I just saw Dr. Yousefi and was very impressed! I did not have to wait to be seen. Her front desk team was very professional. She has a very calm, knowledgeable, competent and kind demeanor. She answered all my questions and was very candid. She was very professional and did not try to hurry me at all. I would highly recommend her !! read more

I love this doctor. She is a great Dermatologist. She has hepled me so much with my Melanoma. Honestly, the best doctor I have ever worked with. She is totally professional, compassionate, hard working, great personality, remembers minute details about my last visit and my history. Her small hands are very careful and skilled. I trust her completely and reccommend her to everyone I know. The only reason I don't give her 5 stars is that her receptionist is terrible. She varies between being bored/indifferent to you and totally rude. And she looks like some NY/NJ skank. I just tolerate her to get to Dr Yousefi. I don't know why she would settle for this chick to be her first impression with clients... Gotta be some better options in the job market. read more

Arlington office review- I would highly recommend the staff at the Arlington office as well as Dr yousefi. She is very to the point, covers all topics, address concerns and made me have a pleasant visit(s) each time I showed. Her staff at front desk as well as assistants were kind and made sure to explain everything outright. I am glad to have finally found an awesome dermatologist!! read more

I am warning you now. Stick through my post... I went in for my second visit to have a small mole removal and they could not find my appointment anywhere on their calendar, really not a big deal. They proceeded to ask me for a payment for my previous (first) visit before I could see the doctor that day. I also needed to pay for that visit, that day. I asked if I could make payments following my visit due to my HSA only having a certain amount. The receptionist went to ask Dr. Yousefi if we could do a payment plan and she returned to tell me that she would but needed my parents names, home address, and phone number in case I didn't pay my bills... I was shocked and completely insulted. I'm 28 years old and am 100% financially independent. She told me it was policy which cannot be true because I highly doubt they'd ask a woman 40+ years old for her parents information. I chose to not inconvenience myself and pay the balance that day and have the procedure done but will not be returning. They also charged me more then I owed and they had to refund me following my visit. Others may have a good experience but I found this completely unethical and quite frank insulting. I would not recommend visiting this doctors office. read more

Dr. Yousefi's policies, billing issues, front office staff, and overall office climate are absolutely terrible. Supposedly, there have been changes to the staff... judging by the continuity in terrible reviews, I don't have very high hopes. I hope the $70.30 for the 15 minute consultation that the Front Office initially said was "waived" really boosts the profits of the sketchy practice you run. - Just another dissatisfied customer. P.s. I could hear your colleagues laughing in the background during our phone conversation about how the Dr. was "out of the office" and left my issue solely for you to "deal with". Incredibly unprofessional atmosphere. Future patients be warned read more

I thought I had a bug bite, but it swelled and I developed a rash, so my general practitioner recommended a dermatologist. Dr. Yousefi thoughtfully went over treatment options with me, and I am so grateful her office was able to schedule me. I appreciated the office, her disposition, and feel I am in good hands. read more

My mom and I have been patient of Dr. Yousefi for more than 5 years. I'm not sure where all the negative experience came from but we never had problems with billing or time spent with the Dr. She was very kind to my mom who suffers from psoriasis. A lot of her medicine isn't covered by insurance and she took her time to call drug prep and gave us pharmacy information that sells the drug at a heavy discount. I also came to the office from time to time to see Jill who treated me for moles with electrodessication. She's very nice and helpful with tips to take care of the treated areas. read more

I started seeing Dr. Yousefi for some cosmetic care two years ago and had three laser sessions to reduce an area of sun damage on my chest. I was able to schedule a consultation appointment quickly, and after deciding on the best treatment, I booked my first session. For each of my appointments, the office staff checked me in quickly, and I never had to wait more than ten or fifteen minutes. Dr. Yousefi did a thorough job with my care and was very personable and professional at each appointment. Since then I've started seeing Dr. Yousefi for my annual skin check, and as always, she's professional and thorough in addressing all of my questions and concerns. I'd definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a dermatologist. read more

If I could give them zero stars I would. I was early for an appointment. Fair enough. I was welcome back at the appointed time. And then I waited and waited and waited while staff laughed and joked and played around in the hallway. It took me two months to get a day off so I could make this appointment. To be waiting that long was disappointing. Very bad unprofessional service. read more

I usually don't leave reviews but my experiences were pretty bad so I decided to share. I saw her a few years ago about my concerns with some hair loss. She asked me a few family questions & told me that since my father is bald I'm going to go bald as well. She gave me a plastic surgeon's contact info to go & get hair transplant. She also recommended me to tell the plastic surgeon not to take the hair from a straight line from back of my head for transplant so I won't have a smiley face on the back of my head in case I loose the hair in the back!!! A few years later, after seeing different doctors, it turns out that I had a thyroid problem that was causing my hair loss. Of course I found this out after I had another bad experience with her: I also saw her years ago for a mole on my leg. She was monitoring it for a few years and then she thought it was better to remove it. So I scheduled for the procedure at her office. On the day of the procedure, she was shocked to find out that the receptionist had booked 20 minutes only! She tried to finish the procedure as quickly as she could and I was told to go back in two weeks to remove the stitches. When I go back after two weeks, I was seen by the nurse who started taking the stitches out. I told her I don't think they're completely heeled. She said she'll ask Dr. Yousefi to take a look & left the room. Dr. Yousefi comes in & takes a look at the wound & notifies me that she needs to put the stitches back because they're not heeled yet. She numbs me again & puts more stitches in... read more

I recently went for a comprehensive mole check. Dr. Marjan took her time and didn't rush as so many dermatologists I've visited in the past have. I then took my son in for acne treatment and Jesse was very patient in answering our questions and explaining her recommended treatment protocol. read more

This isn't a review on Dr. Yousefi but on shekita (I hope that is how u spell it) she is one of the nurses that work in the office. She is so kind, you can tell good customer service is what she strives for. Dr. Yousefi always has rude people working in the front desk (I always go to the tysons office) and Shekita always straightens our the problems. Honestly, she is probably the only reason why I still go to that office. You can tell she knows what she is doing... read more

I think Gillian is great, truly, but it's just too hard to work with the numbnuts at the front desk. Today I made an appointment with a new dermatologist whose front desk actually seem to understand that part of their job is talking to customers. read more

I made an initial appointment with Dr. Jousefi, making it clear that this would be my first appointment with the doctor. I completed initial visit forms with Dr. Yousefi's "signature" at the top of the page and emailed them back to the office. I arrived at my appointment and checked in and paid my co-pay. I was taken to the exam room and was informed by the nurse that I would be seeing the physician assistant. I asked, "At what point will I see the doctor today." The nurse informed me that Dr. Yousefi was not in the office, but that the physicians assistant would see me. I IMMEDIATELY ENDED THE APPOINTMENT and reported back to the front desk and asked why I had not been informed that I would not see Dr. Yousefi during this appointment. I was given a second appointment with the understanding that my co-pay would apply to that appointment. After leaving the office, I became increasingly angry about my treatment. At NO TIME was I told prior to the INITIAL APPOINTMENT that I would NOT BE SEEING DR. JOUSEFI to whom I had been referred. Don't waste my time -- I had taken time off from work for the appt. Don't knowingly mislead me -- What else might this office choose to mislead me about? Trust in a doctor and their office operations is imperative to my healthcare. Acquaintances told me that this is how some medical offices run their business. Too bad. I pay far too much for healthcare to be treated like a comedy. ...and don't YOU let doctors treat you in this manner either. The consumer has endless power if WE weld it. read more

Honestly they are very flexible with rescheduling and also very polite. However, sometimes I have waited 25-30 min to be seen which is unacceptable, they have repeatedly done this so I felt compelled to write a review. Doctors are great. read more

I went to Dr Yousefi a couple of years ago to get some spots on my body looked at which turned out to be skin tabs. She was very nice and I was happy with her since the last dermatologist I had couldn't tell me what these spots were. She said she could remove them but insurance wouldn't likely cover and it would be $100 dollars. So I finally called in December to have them removed I was told it would be $120 by whoever answered the phone (they don't say their names) and I explained that Dr Yousefi told me $100. She put me on hold and came back and said they would do it for $100 because that's what I was told. So I went in and saw the PA to get it burned off. A couple of days later a tiny part of my skin tag fell off but more than 75% was still on. I called the office and the girl who answered said give it a couple of weeks. When I told her I was sure they the rest wouldn't fall off cause it wasn't burned at all (the burned part that fell off was darker than the rest) and I didn't want to pay again she told me not to worry and to call back and if needed I can come back in. So that's what ended up happening. When I checked in at the desk she told me my insurance was inactive. I asked her why she said that and she said "cause that what it says". It wasn't inactive. I called. Anyways I told her it didn't matter since I was getting a skin tag removal that wasn't done properly the first time that I had already paid for and she said "oh yea your right, your good". When I was finished with my appt however they told me I owed $100. I explained the above and the 2 girls at the desk wanted to know who I spoke with. I explained that I didn't know because they don't say their names when they answer the phone. Needless to say I left the office, didn't pay (I don't have another $100) and they said it would be on my bill. Funny how all the people I've spoken to never said I had to pay again until I was leaving the office. Too much sketchiness going on here! Bad patient care! Def won't be going back! read more

Dr, Yousefi is one of the top dermatologists in the DC metro area. I always enjoy coming to see her because she listens carefully to my concerns, answers all my questions and always knows just what to do or not do. She has a gentle hand and manner. I trust her completely. She keeps her fees reasonable and seems to care more about delivering good care than charging exorbitant prices. read more

Truly caring Dr's.I do not have insurance but the charge was very reasonable. (Place was very clean )

For the Arlington Office - This office is fantastic. I love that they have early morning appointments, and take you so quickly. I had a 7:45 am appointment, that I was taken in around 7:40, saw the doctor, got a little work done, and was out of the door in 10 minutes. While it is quick, it is straight to the point, without feeling rushed. I appreciate it and always find the staff here very helpful. read more

I've going to see Dr. Yousefi for 5 years and with my family history, I'm a high risk for skin cancer. I wouldn't trust anyone but her and her team to help manage my skin health. read more

I chose Dr Yousefi based on Yelp and other reviews for some suspicious moles. I went to the Vienna office and found it clean and comfortable. The front desk staff was pleasant; my wait to get to the exam room was not too long. A staff member took my history and I had another short wait for Dr Yousefi. She was courteous, professional, and quickly put me at ease. She did a head to toe check, found 2 moles she wanted to remove (I have a LOT of moles, she could have said a dozen needed removal and I would not have known if it was true or not), but she also found a lesion on the side of my neck that she wanted to biopsy. I didn't even know it was there; she had to get a mirror to show me where it was and what it looked like. This week I went back in to have the removals and biopsy done and had another good experience with the staff. The assistant was kind and had a soothing manner, the doctor was so gentle and efficient, I couldn't believe she did all three procedures so quickly and painlessly. She called me today with the results. The amazing thing is that the neck lesion was actually a skin cancer (which she found early) but as it was a relatively large, irregular lesion, and on my neck, she recommended a surgeon who would remove it with minimal scarring. Needless to say, I am very happy I found her and would not hesitate to recommend her. read more

The doctor was nice enough, although admittedly inexperienced with hyperhidrosis. The staff was always incredibly rude on the phone and always gave me attitude every time I had to call about my medication. I refuse to pay for that kind of treatment and will not be returning. Marjan, you need to consider who you have at your front desk. read more

This review is for the Physician Assistant Gillian Athey (we did not see Dr. Yousefi). Both myself and my husband saw her today and she was extremely friendly and knowledgeable. This was the first visit to a dermatologist for either one of us and she took her time and made sure all of our questions were answered before she finished up the appointment. We will definitely continue to go to her for our dermatological issues. read more

I needed a quick appointment because I had a spot on my face that wouldn't stop bleeding and seemed like cancer (freaking myself out looking stuff up on the internet). I got in within three days (normally a two week wait) and although I am still waiting on the biopsy results (probably basal cell), they got me in fast and alleviated my fears. Excellent! read more

I took my daughter there the older lady at the front did not seem to know what she was doing. She would loudly gossip at the front I guess she was trying to whisper. The other receptionist was very good nice and knowledgeable. The asian nurse was very nice and sincere when she took us back and the other was okay when coming in with the doc to assist. Dr yousefi was very gentle and knowledgeable and helped with our concern I highly recommend. The con about them is the long wait and billing department read more

Went to her practice twice. Was in the waiting room not too long after my appointment maybe 20 minutes each time. The problem that REALLY bugs me about DR. Yousefi is the lack of any care about someone who is paying out of pocket. And im just speaking from an advice standpoint from her. I had developed cystic acne in my early 30s and she prescribed me antibiotics twice which only masked the problem for a short time. She acted sooo sad that there was nothing she could do and said we just don't know why this happens . Total bs. Accutane was the cure that i had to find out through tons of research on my own after and was for me. Why did i pay her 150 dollars on 2 occasions to pay for BS prescriptions! I am an automotive tech and if I charge people money and don't fix their problem, my ass is on the line. Especially twice. Boooo to this pitiful practice read more

I was not happy with my experience seeing Dr. Yousefi. She didn't make the right call on me. She didn't conduct any labs or obtain proof for her diagnosis. It was just her educated, visual assessment. I had to get a second opinion from another Dr, because what she told me was actually very devastating and "cold." I am so glad I did see another Dr. I would have gone down the wrong path, had I followed what she told me to do. I am upset that she guided me in the wrong direction, but thankful that my intuition told me to get a second opinion. Maybe Dr. Yousefi is better for specific types of skin issues?? I was not happy with her office staff in Arlington either. They were not organized and did not seem attentive to patients. I will not go back to this Dr., ever. read more
