First time visit. All covid protocols were followed. Office staff was efficient. Wait time was less then 10 minutes! Total time being seen was 15 minutes. If I’m being picky I would say they need a new stereo system in the waiting room and some relaxing music and lighting also in wait room. Overall a good experience!

I was welcomed and given paperwork to complete. I was called to the exam room, a health assistant was training a new staff member. The doctor arrived on time, completed my exam thoroughly. She was friendly and answered my questions. I will be sure to go back!

The staff and doctors are friendly and great. I have been coming to them for 15+ years. Offices and rooms are always clean . I love that fact that I get there for my appointment, I check in and I am called to see the dr in a timely manner. There’s no waiting around for long periods, which I love !!! Dr. Gwynn and her staff top notch !!!

I love the way the intake team is very cognizant of health issues even before you see the physicians. They query patients about COVID safety. That to me was very important. They were very polite with each patient in a way that made both patients and anyone who accompanies the patient feel at ease.

Everyone at the office was very pleasant. Was seen very quickly. Dr Lonergan was very thorough and has a great bedside manner.
One item, it would be very helpful to have the paperwork sent or emailed early to complete at home.

My third visit with Rebekah Smyth was a few days ago and I've been truly at ease with her. She's been very compassionate and pleasant. I felt welcome from the time I was first greeted by the staff, they have all been friendly, efficient, and kind. With one minor exception, I've spent little time waiting to be seen or waiting for the PA to come into the room. My issue was simple and took little explanation, I felt she would have taken the time necessary to educate me if needed.

I found the experience to be a very positive one. The staff were very professional and compassionate and helped with my concerns about the procedure. They thoroughly explained everything that was to be done and the potential outcomes which helped ease my concerns and anxiety for the procedure. I truly felt like they cared for me as a person rather than just another patient.

I have been to Anne Arundel Dermatology twice in the last few months and I have nothing but good things to say about both visits. A great experience from the time I walked in until the time I left. The office admins at the front desk are professional and kind and get you checked in and out quickly. Dr. Dawn is amazing! She finds out your concerns, addresses them, advises on next steps and you are on your way. Fast and efficient, but not rushed. The entire office is clean and COVID protocols are followed. What's not to like? I would definitely recommend.

I was at the dermatologist’s office for my annual skin exam today, and I overheard that this older man could not afford his copay. He asked if he could pay them when he gets his next paycheck. 😭
I was going to offer to pay depending on their reaction. To my surprise, the front office staff was very patient and understanding. They said he could pay when he had the money. I was extremely impressed with their kindness, professionalism and compassion. 💕 ðŸ‘ðŸ»

This review is specific to the scheduling process. "Current patients" (those who were seen in the last 2 years) are offered same week appointments, while those who have not been seen recently - even with an urgent need (hives) are forced to wait a month to be seen. The system seems borderline unethical. Scheduling is through ann arundel dermatology - 20+ minutes of waiting on a phone system to speak to a human, and cancelling an appointment requires the same process. You get confirmation phone calls, texts, and emails - all of which you cant cancel through. Had to wait on muzak again

I had an appointment this morning and it was fast and seamless. Thanks to Dr. Rebekah who examined my face and her assistant. However, I’m disappointed I’ve been waiting for weeks to get a call from Dr. Wheat on my treatment options.

Came here after a bad experience with Forefront Dermatology in Vienna, VA. Overall I was satisfied with the intake assistant and Dr. Fink. However, if I hadn't been pressed to be seen, I would have left this office based on my treatment at check in. When I checked in there was no one in front of me, or behind me, so no reason in my opinion to greet me and ask whether I was a new patient. I was greeted, I signed my name and the front desk personnel said nothing else. 10 minutes later a woman and her daughter came in and were greeted by the front desk warmly and asked whether she was

I have been a patient of Exel Dermatology for many years. I highly recommend Dr. Suarez. Not only is she extremely knowledgeable but she also thoroughly explains whatever procedure that needs to be done in a way that the patient understands and is made to feel comfortable. All her assistants (especially Ha) are very helpful, upbeat and kind. And as far as the front desk is concerned ~ " Janeth, you are the BEST!

I would go someplace else if you are looking for a doctor that cares about you and have a good bedside manner.

My review is from my experience with Dr. Faria from many years ago and from what I see on other reviews, things haven't changed much. The fact that I still remember how it feels to be ridiculed by Dr. Faria after these years tells you that regardless of her so called expertise from her long years of being a doctor, you are better off going to other dermatologists in the area.

I went to see her regarding my concerns with some bumps on my face. At the first appointment, she told

BE CAREFUL PAY ATTENTION TO YOUR MEDICAL RECORDS! FRAUDULENT CLAIMS.
I know there are a lot of problems with the receptionist so that may be the issue. They charged me for two extra visits that I was not at. I asked for a refund for a prepaid service I was going to have after I realized these fraudulent claims and they asked if they could just give me a personal check instead of going through the insurance. I said no I am going through the right steps to make sure I have records after all of the issues I have had with them. I have come realize that they are billing out of FL and there billing

Dr. Faria is very knowledgeable which is the only reason I'd even give this review 2 stars. I did not have a good experience here. It started with the receptionist who I find to be very rude. I had a bad taste before I even entered the office because she wasn't pleasant over the phone while scheduling my appointment. Not to mention that it was very annoying to make an appointment in the first place because the first few times I called, I got a busy tone. Then I tried to make an appointment online - no email, no callback, nothing. I finally called again and got through which is when I

There are medical doctors, and then there are real healers.
Dr. Faria is more than a licensed medical doctor - she is a true Doctor. Someone who does more than push prescriptions. She takes into account intangible factors and feelings when diagnosing and educating her patients. I was referred to her by a friend who RAVED about her. He was right.

The office space is a little dumpy, but I'd walk through the snow for Dr. Faria.

Luckily for me, this mole isn't cancerous - but even if it were, I know I'd be ok good hands with Dr. Faria!

Researched Dr. Suarez having come from Baltimore where I often saw Hopkins or University of Maryland doctors. Thought I had made an appointment with Dr. Suarez, but then saw Dr. Faria. After a 10 minute exam during which I had no clothes on and the assistant kept walking in and out and actually talked to someone with outside in the hall. Dr. Faria actually asked me if I wanted that mole taken off. Cause if you think it looks weird, we can take it off. Uh, last I checked, you're the doctor, you tell me! Half the reason I went was to see if she thought it looked potentially cancerous.

I wish I had checked yelp before going here. As someone mentioned below, it was one of our most frustrating experiences.
It was the only place in the area that I could get a last minute appointment. Our appointment with the medical staff went fine; we saw the physician's assistant and then she confirmed her diagnosis with one of the doctors.
Our major problem was and still is with the administrative staff; we were billed twice and still haven't received a refund after numerous phone calls! They were very adamant that we pay the $110 fee with our credit card at the desk after our appointment

I went to see Dr. Faria because my mother recommended her and loves her. Unfortunately, I didn't leave feeling the same way as my mom. Dr. Faria was condescending (which according to other reviews is not unlike her) and although she seemed knowledgeable, I'd rather take advice from someone who knows what they're talking about AND is polite. But that's just me and obviously she has charmed others out there so if you're not worried about the possibility of being talked down to, she is probably just fine!

The billing team is pathetic and you can never reach them in Florida.
The issue is that I have paid money at the hospital and they have not accounted for it in my account and send me a new bill showing me I owe them money.
I have also contacted the hospital but they always direct u towards the billing team..

Wow, so incredibly bad. I thought I had made an appointment with Dr. Suarez, but when I arrived, it turned out it was with Dr. Faria. My husband and I both came from DC to the appointment and spent about 30 minutes waiting to be seen. There was a note hanging up in the waiting room asking for those waiting to show patience because the office's policy is to provide thorough and quality care to their patients and, once seen, each patient would receive the same level of thorough care. So we sat patiently.

I was happy with Dr. Faria at first because, although brusque, she seemed knowledgable

Do you know that REAL dermatologists are disappearing? Seriously!

Most so called "dermatologists" are just folks trying to grow their plastic surgery practice and throwing Botox parties. Who do you go to when you really need a real dermatologist? Someone with the knowledge and experience to actually determine if that innocent looking mole on your back is benign or cancerous?

Who?

Well let me tell you about Dr. Duyen Faria at Excel Dermatology institute. This lady is an angel...she is amazing and one of THE most intelligent doctors I have ever had the honor of meeting. Dr Faria
