What Patients Are Saying
Robert R.
Doctor and two young female assistants really made me feel at ease about disrobing during my first session. It was a first-time experience for me to do that.
James J.
Being new to the area, I didn’t know any physicians. We live in Louisville, so I settled on East TN Dermatology. My first visit was with. A PA. She and her associate were so professional and thorough- not rushed and explained everything well. Went for my second annual where a pre-cancerous lesion was found and dealt with. Highly highly recommended!.

Personable, thorough, excellent providers and care. Highly recommend.
shawn e.
Great job! Have been to Turkey Creek location and went to Dowell Springs location b/c I could get in to see the provider sooner. Marcus, PA is great in any location lol. Thank you to all the staff from check in to exam then check out!
Steve W.
This was my first experience with Dr. Clarke. I couldn’t be happier. She was very personable and professional. She addressed all of my concerns. I’ve been to a half a dozen different dermatologists over the past 5 years and she’s the first I would truly recommend!
Lysenia R.
They are kind when you arrive, punctual in the time of attending, attentive, empathetic which is very important I had also seen other Dermatologists but no one had helped me Dr. Maben is the only one who has helped me even they help you with the approval of your medications thanks to them my confidence, safety has improved because my skin has improved too much and my eczema already lets me sleep and I was able to leave the house with confidence and security again and by the way I have been with the Doctor for almost 1 year waiting for the review
Brian N.
Very friendly comforting staff. Very knowledgeable. 10/10 would recommend!!
Jeff D.
The MOH's surgeon, Dr. Marcourt was excellent and very informative.
Melissa H.
The whole intial process was amazing. Helped me with my insurance issue and afterwards. They deserve an award. I had a panic attack leaving and scared everyone there. They made sure I was ok and didn't let me leave as soon as I came too. They made sure I was extra ok before I could leave the office. I am very grateful that this office is going to help me with my treatment journey. I trust them 100% thank you all for today!!!
Annemarie K.
Very helpful
Kelly A.
Staff is top notch! Dr. Helen has a great personality and put me right at ease…she is skilled which minimized the length of wound. Shannon was wonderful in explaining every step of procedure and follow up care. Hope I never have to see them again but if I do, I will know I’m in good hands.
Bennett M.
Very positive experience during the appointment
Tatiana H.
I had such a great experience with Lina Weber! She took the time to calm my nerves and make me feel comfortable with a plan moving forward; not a lot of doctors have been so understanding. I really appreciate how thorough and kind Lina is!
Andrew C.
Today was my first appointment with this team after nearly two decades since I last saw a dermatologist. From the online booking to the in-office check-in and consultation, my entire experience was great and efficient. Within five minutes of checking in, I was back being seen by a doctor and assistant, who listened closely to my concerns, provided a detail explanation of my care plan, and had me out within 10 minutes.
alexis s.
I couldn’t say enough great things about Meridiem. Leslie specifically is wonderful! The confidence she has given me without makeup is incredible. Codi is also amazing at facials and also giving the most relaxing experience. 10/10 recommend!

Dena M.
I was very impressed with the care and understanding the staff and the Dermatologist showed during my visit. Though it was my first visit and I will definitely recommend friends and relatives to Anne Arundel Dermatology.
Dena M.
Very welcoming staff, lots of patient access for near term appointments and a provider who spent as much time as needed to completely answer all questions. My estimate was brought to me in the exam room before proceeding with treatment. Rare to find a personal touch in a physician practice these days but they NAILED it.
Dena M.

Meryl is always very kind, professional, and makes the whole experience comfortable. The only downside has been the front desk, which can be quite rude

Dena M.
Nice friendly office
Dena M.
Great experience today! Mary at the desk was super nice and professional. I didn’t have to wait in the lobby at all to be seen at all for my appointment time. Once in the exam room, the medical assistant was nice and professional. I waited only a minute after she left and APRN Sanjani Patel was already coming in to see me. I feel like she was very thorough looking at all of my moles (I have a lot) and she recommended me some prescription wipes for my back acne. The office is also stocked with nutrafol supplements, skin ceutical products, and Alastin products which is great because I was able to pick up something I was running low on. I will definitely be returning to this location!
Dena M.
Brianna, is terrific. Took care of a problem I had and it has not reoccurred. She has a great bedside manner and a pleasant to visit! Would recommend to anyone!
Dena M.

Chloe is the sweetest and such a skilled esthetician! I’ve had Hydrafacials, microneedling, and chemical peels with her, and every treatment is thoughtful and customized. She’s incredibly knowledgeable about the products she uses too. You can tell she genuinely wants the best for your skin and takes the time to get it just right. Highly recommend her for your skincare treatments!!
Dena M.
Extremely professional! Highly recommended.

Dena M.
Dr Harvey and his staff are an excellent choice for skin care. He and his staff are always welcoming with their knowledgeable, friendly, and professional manner. The office is clean and comfortable and the building offers ample parking with handicapped spaces close to the entry, which is covered for easy drop off should there be rain. I wouldn’t want to go any where else.
Dena M.
As usual, the office visit went well and quickly. I travel a long distance to visit this office and it is worth it.
Dena M.
Knowledge service professionalism are all top-notch

My son had an excellent experience with dermatologist (Dr. K ) and Lillian. From the moment we walked in, the staff was welcoming, professional, and efficient. Dr. K took the time to carefully listen to our concerns, thoroughly explain my son’s condition, and discuss all available treatment options in a clear and reassuring way. I truly appreciated how knowledgeable and attentive they were. I never felt rushed during my appointment, and all my questions were answered with patience and care. The treatment plan has been very effective, and I’ve already seen noticeable improvement. I highly recommend this dermatologist to anyone looking for expert care in a comfortable and supportive environment. Felicia Thomas

Wonderful medical care from start to finish and I would highly recommend them to anyone

Dena M.
I just wanted to take a moment to leave a review and say how amazing the staff here is! I’ve had my fair share of experiences with different dermatology offices, both within this company and outside of it, and this office really stood out to me. Keonna at the front desk was incredibly friendly, welcoming, and efficient. She made the check-in process easy and was just a pleasure to interact with. Dr. Becker was also wonderful! He was very friendly, personable, and talkative in the best way...not overwhelming or annoying at all. He actually took the time to talk with me and made the experience feel comfortable and relaxed. Overall, I had a really positive experience and truly appreciate the staff for making my visit so pleasant. Great team!
Dena M.

Dawn at the front desk was very patient and understanding. Carly Griffies did her usual very meticulous exam, I 've always felt like she'd miss nothing that could do me harm.
Dena M.
Excellent, professional, frienly.
Dena M.
Meridiem DermSpa is the best, the people are always nice, helpful, and professional. Sarah has done most of my procedures and I adore her. She always makes me feel that I'm perfect the way I am, the treatments I choose are just to enhance. She's encouraging yet not pushy, she explains everything to me clearly, and ensures that I'm comfortable. As soon as I leave from an appointment, I'm ready to make another. Highly recommend going to Meridiem!
Dena M.
All staff was excellent!!!
Dena M.
The Mount Airy office of Anne Arundel Dermatology has been our Go-To place for several years. I have 2 girls 4 years apart and my youngest daughter recently asked to try some alternative acne treatments. We were very pleased to have not one but two different medications as options offered by Amy Spangler. We made sure to make a follow-up appointment right away so we can follow-up under the timeframe that she recommended. Appointments can seem difficult to find in under 3 weeks, but they are usually able to offer alternative appointment times if you call back within a week or so later. I highly recommend this practice which has had Dr. Germanas at the helm since my oldest daughter was an adolescent.
Dena M.
Anjana is such a caring and professional PA. Her kindness and no nonsense approach is so appreciated.
Dena M.
Dr. Zook is awesome!! He’s gentle, kind and very knowledgeable.

Dena M.
Cassidy is amazing!
Dena M.
I had a truly wonderful experience with Dr. Giblin. He performed a cyst excision for me and from the very beginning, I felt I was in excellent hands. He took the time to thoroughly explain the entire process and patiently answered all of my questions, which greatly eased my concerns. During the procedure, he consistently checked in to make sure I was comfortable. His calm and reassuring manner made the whole experience much easier than I had expected. After the procedure, he carefully reviewed the wound care instructions step by step to ensure I fully understood how to take care of myself at home. I was especially touched that he personally called me later that evening to check on how I was doing. That level of care truly meant a great deal to me. I feel incredibly fortunate to have found him. He is not only highly skilled, but also kind, attentive, and deeply committed to his patients. I would highly recommend Dr. Giblin to anyone seeking exceptional medical care. Patient : Zhenkun Zhao
Dena M.
One of the best in the field!!
Dena M.
I was very pleased with my appointment with Allison. She was very detail-oriented and took the time to discuss my family history and my concerns.
Dena M.
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.
Dena M.
Cam is the absolute best! I have seen her for lip filler, and she has exceeded my expectations. She is always kind, patient, and caring, and goes to great lengths to always make sure I am comfortable throughout the visit. I cannot recommend her enough! I have gotten so many compliments on my filler, and it’s all thanks to Cam!
Dena M.
Friendly and knowledgeable staff. Easy to find, plenty of parking.
Dena M.
One of the best medical offices I’ve ever been to. Front desk was thorough friendly and professional. Nurse Peaches was caring and listened and explained things. Dr Haibo was fantastic!!! He knew what he was doing and explained so well. Asked several times if there was anything else he could do (he asked several times cuz I kept asking him things as they popped in my head) Highly recommend this hidden gem in Clinton. Best dermatologist I’ve been to. Worth the higher copay I had to pay to not use the other one.
Dena M.

I have been going to Anne Arundel Dermatology for several years now and have always had a great experience. They are very professional. Always on time. Always listen to my concerns and take whatever amount of time is necessary. They do not rush through the appointment, making me feel "like I don't matter." When it comes down to it, going to this doctor's office is a pleasant experience!
Dena M.
I would highly recommend Southern Dermatology for all of your skin care needs. The dermatologist was very knowledgeable and professional. The treatment that was performed was very effective. All of my concerns were resolved. I look forward to seeing this practice again next year for my annual visit.
Dena M.
The staff here couldn’t have been nicer!!
Dena M.
There aren't enough words to describe the personal attention, dignity, pleasant professionalism and concern the entire staff displayed. Casandra the PA explained everything in detail and the entire staff went out of their way to make me comfortable. I can't wait to go back for follow-up.
Dena M.
Great staff, and knowledgeable Practitioner!
Dena M.

Dena M.
Very knowledgeable and professional
Dena M.
I had MOHS and plastic surgery on my nose, the staff was very professional and well trained, plastic surgeon did an excellent job as did the MOHS surgeon.
Dena M.
Tinuke and her team are amazing! I've been seeing her since 2023, and I came in with concerns about early signs of acne. Even though my acne wasn’t severe, I was worried my concerns might be dismissed because it was very minimal but she completely understood and validated how I was feeling. Since then, my skin has transformed and now has a healthy, glowing look. Of course, I still get occasional breakouts (age-related), but I always feel reassured knowing I can count on her for support and honest guidance. Highly recommend!
Dena M.
So friendly and very thorough!!
Dena M.
Janet Benton NP is the best at what she does. She’s kind, gentle and a great listener. I can’t recommend her enough.

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.
