Question 1

How do I choose the right dermatologist?

Accepted Answer

Look for a board-certified dermatologist (FAAD designation from the American Academy of Dermatology) with strong patient ratings. Consider whether they specialize in your concern — medical dermatology, cosmetic procedures, or pediatric skin conditions — and whether they accept your insurance.

Question 2

What should I expect to pay for dermatology services?

Accepted Answer

A full-body skin exam typically costs $150–$300 with insurance copays of $20–$50. Cosmetic procedures like mole removal run $150–$500; chemical peels $150–$600; laser treatments $200–$1,500+ per session. Many cosmetic services are not covered by insurance.

Question 3

How long does a typical dermatology appointment take?

Accepted Answer

A routine skin check takes 20–30 minutes. Procedural visits (biopsy, removal, or treatment) typically run 30–60 minutes. Cosmetic appointments like Botox or fillers are usually 30–45 minutes.

Question 4

What questions should I ask before hiring a dermatologist?

Accepted Answer

Ask about their board certification and FAAD status, whether they accept your insurance, their experience with your specific condition, how they handle urgent concerns between appointments, and whether cosmetic procedures are performed by the physician or staff.

Question 5

Are dermatologists on this directory screened?

Accepted Answer

All listings are sourced from Google Business Profiles and ordered by real Google ratings and review counts. We display each doctor's rating and total reviews. Independently verify board certification at the American Board of Dermatology website before booking.

Question 6

What if I have a bad experience with a dermatologist?

Accepted Answer

Address concerns with the practice manager first. If you believe there was a standard-of-care issue, file a complaint with your state medical board. For billing disputes, contact the practice's billing department and your insurance company.
