Made office visit to ask about several skin concerns. Everyone was professional, and it was a welcoming warm atmosphere. Dr Wilmoth and Ms French eased my worries and removed two skin lesions painlessly. I have another family member that has also received excellent care at SD. I recommend this facility! 8/31/26 visit - Dr Boyse and staff put me at ease and I trust them with my skincare.

Dr Kang and staff at Anne Arundel Dermatology provide excellent comprehensive care! I have a rare autoimmune condition that affects my face and mouth. I have been to a number of providers who did not get the diagnosis correct. When i was diagnosed correctly, the treatments were not very effective. I was referred to Dr Kang by my oral pathologist, and Dr Kang was so thorough in his evaluation, requesting all my medical records so that he could review them and come up with a treatment plan, and he did! Within approximately eight days, my mouth inflammation stabilized and the swelling in my face as well. I can’t thank Dr Kang enough for his excellence in the practice of Dermatology! Nurse Lisa

The office staff is always super sweet and even engages with my children if not too busy. I see Whitney Colella, PA and I have always had a really great experience. She’s professional, personal, friendly, and makes things quick and easy. She asks questions and listens to all of my concerns and I’ve always been well cared for by her! I genuinely enjoy visiting this office - thank you all!

April was wonderful! She explained things clearly, and performed the procedure so quickly and painlessly. I've had two other moles removed and this was the best of the three experiences by far. Highly recommend!

Dr. Boswell solid
cam c.
I am totally satisfied with his medical examinations. However, trying to get in touch by phone became a horror show since he became part of the larger group. The first call said there was a 39 minute wait time. I was able to leave a message to be called later. I was unable to answer the return call, but a message was left on my machine. Unfortunately, the message started skipping and I could not hear all of the new phone number to be called. My second call soon got the recorded message announcing the wait time as one minute. It then kept repeating the one minute wait time message over and over and over. After 5 minutes of this, I hung up. On my third try, the recording said over and over and over that the wait time was the 8 minutes. After getting frustrated again, I was about to hang up when suddenly the call was answered--by a lady who sounded very, very bored with her job.
cam c.
Always superb. Consummate professionalism and efficiency throughout. First rate medical care and clarity.

As someone who has spent a lot of time in the sun (and on the sea), it's important to have a good dermatologist! Dr Crane and his staff are excellent.

The staff is very good at their jobs. Sometimes you have to wait because an appointment ran longer than expected,which could happen to anyone, anytime. They do their best and I would go no where else. I'm a natural red head so I get checked every six months I always know right where the problematic areas are. Catch it early people.

So I’m a honest reviewer. If they don’t earn it I don’t just give 5 stars. This place deserves 10! So so pleasant. My son sees PA Brittany and she is so wonderful. So kind, she listens very well, she thoroughly answers and explains things wonderfully. She has helped my son with his hormonal and bacterial acne so much. We have nothing negative to say about this place. Also- they are very good with getting you in at your appointment time.

I recently visited Dr. Nina Schram for my son’s dermatology appointment, and I cannot speak highly enough about the experience. She was incredibly kind, patient, and attentive—she truly listened to all of my sons concerns and immediately provided a clear, effective treatment plan. Her entire staff was just as wonderful. From the moment we walked in, everyone was welcoming and professional. The nurse who assisted us was especially sweet and gentle, which made the whole visit so much easier and comforting for my son. Thank you so much, Dr. Schram, for your compassion and exceptional care. We are truly grateful.

The nurse practitioner was honest with me and did not try to upsell me into biopsying my mole of concern. She was straight up that the cancer risk was low, while she could not guarantee it was cancer free. I appreciated the transparency.

My experience is always wonderful ❤️ Dr. Childress is the best ever ❤️

Every treatment I’ve received from Brittany has been exactly what I hoped for. The med spa industry is so oversaturated, and it’s hard to find someone with the right experience who is committed to continuing education and truly takes the time to get to know you, and your face. An appointment with Brittany feels like a real consultation. I can ask about other skin concerns, and get her advice, and without feeling pressure. The experience is so much better than the typical transactional, in-and-out Botox appointment. (however, if you need it to be quick, she will accommodate!) She is incredibly particular and strategic with the number of units she uses, which I really appreciate. I couldn’t recommend her more!
cam c.
Great staff and excellent service!
cam c.
This was my first visit at a dermatologist. The experience was so much better than I could have imagined. The physician assistant quickly put me at ease, her energy was warm and welcoming, her knowledge And ability to articulate in language that I can understand was exceptional. Under procedure was very quick. I’m thankful that the physician assistant had the skill set that she did inclusive of the way that she spoke to me simply telling me details throughout each process, such as you will feel a little stinging, you will feel a little heat, you will feel a wire across your leg. She let me know what was happening throughout and just simply had overall great communication. I would highly recommend this location to anyone and the most important part is I walked out of there feeling all my needs were met.

Charu, Sandra, and Claire are an extremely talented and well-educated group of cosmetic providers that will undoubtedly impress you with their passion and knowledge of aesthetic treatments. I have had the chance to have treatments done by each of them -- a full face BBL with Charu, Botox with Sandra, and filler with Claire. Every treatment has exceeded my expectations in terms of comfort and results. This new office is modern, spacious, and conveniently located. I highly recommend checking them out!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Outstanding Dermatology Care — Dr. Rachel Orleans This was my second visit with Rachel Orleans, MD, MPH, and I continue to be extremely impressed with the quality of care I am receiving. Dr. Orleans is knowledgeable, thorough, professional, and genuinely attentive to my concerns. She has been doing an outstanding job treating my CCCA, and I am very pleased with the progress of my treatment so far. I appreciate having a dermatologist who is knowledgeable about CCCA and takes the time to explain my treatment and address my concerns. I feel confident in the care I am receiving and would highly recommend Dr. Orleans to anyone looking for a knowledgeable and compassionate dermatologist. ⭐ Dr. Orleans and her clinical care: 5/5 stars! I would, however, give the billing office 3/5 stars. I paid $70.00 upfront in coinsurance/out-of-pocket costs, but my insurance ultimately paid the claim at 100%. According to my records, BCBS issued an EFT payment on July 26, 2026. I would appreciate having someone from the billing department review the account and process my $70.00 refund as soon as possible. Overall, I am very happy with my treatment and the care I am receiving from Dr. Orleans. I hope the billing issue can be resolved promptly so that my overall experience reflects the excellent medical care I have received.

The PA at AAD Ally Yatros is the best! Always prompt, professional and knowledgeable. She's also very kind and caring.

I've been coming to NA Derm for over 10 years. I absolutely love Dr. Douchy; he quickly diagnosed my Melanoma, and sent me to Emory. I'll always be grateful to him for his quick action that may have saved my life in the long run. His PA - Leah, is so sweet, and she puts me at ease with my concerns. She is thorough also, which I appreciate, because of my history of Melanoma. The front office staff are so sweet and friendly as well.

I want to take a moment to applaud Michelle Brown. Over the years, I've been to several dermatologists and have had both good and not-so-good experiences. Michelle took the time to thoroughly examine every concern, and I left feeling like I had one of the most comprehensive annual skin exams I've ever received. She was incredibly thorough, knowledgeable, informative, and genuinely delightful throughout the entire visit. The front office was well organized, and the entire staff was friendly, welcoming, and efficient. I highly recommend this office to anyone looking for a dermatology team that truly cares about their patients and provides exceptional care.

I visited Sharnel Reed for a CoolPeel Tetra Laser treatment and she completely exceeded my expectations. Her knowledge, professionalism, and genuine care for her patients stood out from the moment I walked in. Throughout the entire procedure, she checked in regularly to make sure I was comfortable and reminded me that I could speak up at any point — which made the whole experience feel really relaxed and stress-free. The treatment itself was painless, and her attentiveness made it even better. Her medical assistant Nicolette as well as the front desk staff were equally impressive. She had me settled into the room immediately and walked me through exactly what to expect before we even got started. That kind of preparation and communication makes a real difference. I can't recommend Sharnel Reed and Academic Alliance enough. If you're considering this treatment, you're in great hands.

Dr. Steve Watson was great in diagnosing the growths on my arm and froze them as the method of removal. I highly recommend Dr. Watson at Raleigh Dermatology.

I had such a wonderful experience with Dr. Sabini. She went out of her way to squeeze me in for an appointment, which I truly appreciated. From the moment I saw her, I felt comfortable and well cared for. She was gentle, knowledgeable, efficient, and made everything feel easy. I don’t normally see her at the Suwanee office, but after this visit I was so impressed. I also ran into a problem with a new credit card, and Sam Coad, the site manager, immediately stepped in and saved the day. Her kindness and helpfulness made an already great visit even better. Dr. Sabini and the Suwanee team made me feel genuinely cared for. I would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for a warm, professional, and positive experience. Five stars!

Very professional as well as courteous with all I have dealt with... Dr. Lisa Anderson is very thorough and great in her field... I have never had any negative issues with them...

When you walk through the doors of Anne Arundel Dermatology, you know it’s going to be a pleasant visit. I have been there twice and the front desk staff have been consistently professional, pleasant, and inviting. As far as dermatology services, I see Allison Scaduto.

Dr.Fetzek is exactly what you want in a dermatologist, takes the time to listen and address any and all questions or concerns you may have.

Care That’s Close to Home
MARYLAND
Your Post-Surgery Questions, Answered
Most patients are largely healed within two to four weeks, though scar maturation can take several months. The timeline varies depending on the size and location of the wound, your overall health, and how closely you can follow wound care instructions at home.
The most important things in the early weeks are keeping the wound moist, protecting it from sun exposure, and following your provider's care instructions closely. Once healed, aesthetic treatments such as laser therapy and microneedling can further improve the appearance of scars.
Most aesthetic scar treatments can begin once the skin has fully closed and matured, typically 3 to 6 months after surgery. Your dermatologist will assess your healing and recommend the right timing for your specific situation.
Follow-up frequency depends on your cancer type, stage, and personal risk factors. Many patients see their dermatologist every three to six months for the first year or two, then annually if no new concerns arise. Your provider will give you a personalized schedule.
Contact our office if you notice increasing redness, swelling, warmth, discharge, or pain around the wound site, as these may be signs of infection. Any new or changing spots on your skin should also be evaluated promptly. When in doubt, reach out. We'd rather hear from you early.
Yes, skin cancer can recur at the same site or develop in new areas, which is why ongoing screenings are so important. Patients with a history of skin cancer also have a higher risk of developing future skin cancers. Regular monitoring gives us the best chance of catching anything early.
