Fredericksburg Dermatologic Assoc PC

I went to see the doctor here (I’m not going to name names, but he’s male.) about ten years ago and he was so rude to me that I ended up walking out before the appointment was over. I had two questions for him. I wanted to know if he could help me with my eczema and my dandruff. He informed me that he didn’t have time for «all these questions» and that he could help me with only one issue per appointment. His attitude was also very condescending and holier-​than-​thou. In short he made me sick and it was all I could do not to strike him as he stood there smirking.
Then, about a year ago, I had need of a dermatologist once again. It’s difficult to get an appointment with a dermatologist in Fredericksburg. There aren’t enough of them. It had been so long since I’d seen one that I made an appointment with the doctor who had the earliest available appointment, which was this same doctor. I had forgotten about the appointment from hell from a decade earlier. When I got there it all came back to me, but I kept the appointment anyway because I figured that time changes everyone and that he may have been having a bad day all those years ago.
WELL, he was the same a$$hol3 that he’d been at my previous appointment. Once again I wanted help with two issues: eczema and intermittent breakouts. Nope. Only one. Mind you, the eczema issue isn’t one that required any time. It’s a quick glance and a prescription for Betamethasone. It’s a no-​brainer, so I hardly think that these issues of mine were really as taxing and time consuming as this doctor acted like they were. Again, he was condescending, rude, holier-​than-​thou and just obnoxious in every way. He told me that I’d be hard pressed to find a dermatologist who would be willing to «waste so much time» discussing multiple concerns with me. He was wrong. I’ve seen several dermatologists since and every one of them has been willing to discuss all of my issues. Moreover, they’ve been courteous, helpful and professional, unlike that other doctor from Fred. Derm. Assoc.
The other review for this practice is so positive that I had to google to make sure it was the same practice I was thinking of. I am shocked that anyone is able to stomach the doctor here.

This place is great. The receptionists and nurses are so helpful. It’s probably the only doctor’s office I don’t dread calling when I have to make an appointment or ask questions. They always seem happy to talk to me, or help me out. I had a problem getting a prescription at my pharmacy a few months ago, and the nurse kept wanting me to call back to let me know how the process was going, so she could help in any way she could.
Every time I go its an experience. My doctor is very animated, and gives me an abundance of information with every visit. I can tell he really wants the best for me. I have definitely learned a lot through him. I never walk out of there feeling like I paid for nothing.
And, they actually schedule their appointments CORRECTLY. When I go, there is only one person in the waiting room. They get called. Then about 3 – 5 minutes later I get called. When I am with the nurse answering check up questions, I can hear my doctor in the room next to me. As soon as my nurse is done, my doctor is finished with the person who was before me and is ready to see me. It is the most efficient doctor’s office I have ever gone to. My appointments take no longer than 20 minutes. Its very refreshing – the dermatologist I saw before him took more than an hour to even get into the waiting room.
The fact that I still go to a doctor that is more than an hour away should automatically tell you that I am a huge fan of this place.
