Robert Deangelis, MD

Avoid an appointment with him at all cost. Office is so outdated. It is from 20^th century. Wait time is horrendous. Staff is very unpleasant. He should have retired long time ago. He was super unhelpful. If you have no other choice but see him, be prepared to pay more than $ 100 for the visit. They don’t disclose in advance whether or not they are in our out of network. If you ask them, they will say they are in network but will bill you out of network regardless. I have never had more negative experience with any other doctor.

I first saw Dr. Deangelis in 2007 due to a skin problem (related to pregnancy and nursing) that two other doctors could not help me with. They wrote a prescription to cure my problem, but the medication did not help at all. I was worried when I visited Dr. Deangelis, because I was certain he’d have trouble helping me as well. He was kind and professional. Most importantly, he quickly advised me and gave me very specific (and simple) instructions as to how to resolve the health issue. Within two days, I saw drastic improvement and was fully healed within a week. My husband recently saw him, and is now completely better. Because we’ve had so much success with him, I’m now taking my young son to him, to see how he can help with his eczema. Highly recommended.

Dr. Deangelis is the most unethical physician I have ever seen. I specifically asked if they took my insurance before making an appointment. They said yes. After going twice, they said they actually didn’t take my insurance and charged me the cash rate, which is even higher than they would get from an insurance provider. They admitted they had new staff who where not properly trained, yet they refused to wave or discount my bill. How is this not fraud? I have insurance. Why would I go to someone who didn’t take my plan? If they didn’t know, they should have said that so I could have called my insurance provider to ask. It makes me wonder how bad their business is if they are going to lie to get patients in the door and/​or make a honest mistake and not make it right.
Bottom line, I wouldn’t trust this office for anything. There are enough providers to find someone who you can trust with your health care and finances.

Dr. Deangelis is very professional, knowledgeable and caring. He takes the time to truly listen to you and to address your concerns. Dr. Deangelis is so experienced that he does not have to take a lot of time (YOUR time) trying to figure out a diagnosis and treatment for his patients. He is thorough and very personable. His staff is very friendly, accommodating and could not be nicer. I am so thrilled to have finally found a truly great doctor that I can trust with my health.

I will not recommend anyone to Dr. Robert Deangelis for the following reason:
His office is a party old, from 1970 and he doesn’t have organization skill or communication skill. He does everything by himself. Which means he doesn’t have assistance? He doesn’t have proper equipment such as camera, Mirror, even ice pack on the top of that doesn’t have brochures or cosmetics magazines other up data materials.
His Stuff is not friendly at all. Every time I went there, the waiting time for me was 45miniuts in waiting room, and 30 – 45 minutes in the procedure room.
Dr. deangelis is not focus type of person. He played game with me. Last time I went to him for filer under my eyes. I told him that Botox will not work for my eyes I want filer. I explained to him specifically I have Botox about one month prior to my visit. He said to me «I will do Botox first; if the Botox did not work he will not charge me the filer.» He tried Botox twice but did not work. I told him that how about filler, he told me what filler? He left scar under my eyes. I paid $ 490 for that procedure out of my packet. He doesn’t have knowledge about filler or Botox.
Dr. Deangelis account person is one of his family members. Her name is Diana. She sent the same procedure to my insurance company with different code. She got the money from my insurance. I called his office to clarify with someone. Diana answered the phone. Instead of apologizing to me, she told me «I am talking in circle». She also said that if I go back to the Dr Deangelis office she will call police on me. I did not own them anything.
I figure out, Diana is his wife or his family member. Diana should not talk behave of the license holder which is Dr Deangelis. He is the one took the sate exam, and he is responsible for his own practice.
thanks

I have been to Dr. Deangelis many times over the years and recently started taking my teenage kids. He is down to earth and tells it like it is. He doesn’t over prescribe and is more apt to tell you to use antibacterial soap to clear up acne (which helps!). Good guy who has lots of good practical advice. I highly suggest his services.

I have had many skin problems in my life and I expect a dermatologist to be sympathetic and helpful when at an appointment. I explained my issues in as much detail as I could and received the worst reaction I could imagine. He not only told me i was self-​diagnosing myself but failed to examine my skin to see if he could come up with a better explanation. He seemed to tune me out one I mentioned I might have an idea of my condition (persistent flaky lips that resemble thrush) and told me to ‘use the black chap-​stick’ and maybe that would help. When I told him I was self conscious about my acne scars he said they would fade over time (years). I do not recommend.

Dr. Deangelis is pretty good.
He always seems rushed, but he doesn’t leave until every question is answered, so ask away!
He loves talking about his grand children so I liked that I didn’t have to be the one doing the talking all the time.
I was just disappointed that after two years of getting treatment for my acne (topical ointments and antibiotics) and scar tissues (frozen nitrogen?), nothing changed…

I went to Dr. Deangelis because of Unilocal.I’ve found some great doctors by using this site. But I do have to say this was not one of the best finds.
His office was a little out dated. Once you step in you feel like you’re in an office from the 1970s. But, I can overlook the décor.
I was placed in a room which was actually pretty clean (props) and the wait was extremely short. Dr. Deangelis was a no-​fuss kind of guy who asked why I was there (a mole removal), had me show it to him, numbed me up, cut it off, and put a small band-​aid on, and that was that!
Now, I felt pretty good coming out of there. I was in and out within 30 minutes (including the 10 to fill out my paperwork). But I did have a few problems following the procedure. I wasn’t told the proper way to care for my open cut and it was bothering (hurting and not looking too well) me until I was told by a different doctor how to actually take care of it.
I wasn’t given any follow-​up instructions (except to call if I hadn’t heard from them with the biopsy results), and even when I called them about it I wasnt given much direction. I cannot wholeheartedly recommend a doctor who can let a patient go out of his office without proper after care instructions.

I went to two different dermatologists for years, for various ailments, and nothing was ever diagnosed properly. They waffled, they misdiagnosed, they just wouldn’t commit. I normally was sent home with a free sample of a topical steroid and was told to give it a few months.
Enter Dr. Deangelis. I chose him because he was close in proximity to my then-​locale of Lorton. After years of fence-​riding, highbrow Old Town and D.C. derms, I figured I needed a down-​to-​earth dose of doctor. I figured right.
I walked in armed to the teeth with petty grievances. I won’t reveal them all because then I will be permanently gross on the Internet. What ensued was a round of rapid fire.
«Dr. Deangelis, I have X.»
[Peeks around} «Oh, that’s a simple case of Y.» [writes prescription].
«What about this little pink squiggle on my cheek?»
«That’s a broken blood vessel. I’ll zap that right now» Tsssss.
«And this? My other doctor said it was this.»
«No, that’s this, here.»
Problem after problem, he named them all in nanoseconds and «cured» them too. When I squealed «You’re the best dermatologist ever!» He laughed and said «Well, thanks, I don’t hear that every day.»
