Dermatologists of Southwest Ohio Reviews ( 250 )

  1. I’ve only seen this Doctor twice, but both experiences have been very good. The receptionist was very friendly and the wait time was brief. In the exam room I waited only a minute or two for the doctor to come in, he is a very pleasant and …

  2. My visit with Dr. Cortez was an exceptional experience as always. She is very timely, personable, professional and very experienced. Couldn’t ask for a better dermatologist!

  3. I went in for an appointment and they diagnosed me and prescribed me with expensive medication that later my doctor disagreed with. The dermatologist asked me to come in a few days later so we could do a patch test to see what was causing …

  4. If you are looking for a fabulous, knowledgeable and amazing Dermatologist you must see Dr. Matthew A. Bakos.
    I have been a patient for years and have recommended his services to many friends and family over time and everyone agrees he is “the best”.

  5. Quick to get an appointment, no waiting, friendly office and medical staff, PA listened and discussed with me. He gave a clear explanation and a recommendation for treatment. Really positive experience, could not have been better.

  6. I had no long wait before I saw the doctor. First I saw an intern and a resident and they looked at my issues. Then the doctor came in and examined, and they all three agreed on my questions. Check out was very timely also. So it was a great doctor visit.

  7. Dr. LaPage was amazing with my 13 year old who is deathly afraid of needles 💉 and needed a skin biopsy. The staff was friendly and over all the experience was fantastic and I will hence forth recommend him to anyone looking. We lucked out not knowing anyone in the field to get someone so great! …

  8. The office staff was very friendly and and helpful from the time I walked in to the time I left. Dr. Serrao was very understanding of all of my issues and assured me that he could help. I didn’t have any wait time at all. I am extremely happy with my care and have recommended him to my family.

  9. Most of the staff were nice, some were, rude especially when you asked questions. A blonde with long hair and a short heavy set one. Dr. Hall and his PA were great all with the rest of the staff.

  10. Dr. Verma is who I see at this office. She is so nice and compassionate. I have had a great experience having her as my dermatologist. She always knows the right treatment on anything that I have had done in the office

  11. Once an appointment was finally made, everything else was great. Getting to make an appointment only issue. The person on the phone couldn’t quite understand that I only see English speaking doctors. This is MY choice.

  12. I had never been to this Practice, and scheduled my first appointment for an aesthetic procedure. When I asked the receptionist how long the appointment would be, she replied “15 minutes.” I was surprised by such a short amount of time …

  13. I wanted to change my appointment to an earlier date(asap). They were very accommodating, gave me several choices.
    The staff was very nice and helpful. Dr. Vangapandu was very kind and friendly.

  14. The office employees are always friendly and willing to answer any questions you have. In and out of the visit in about 20 minutes without feeling you got rushed through. Good overall experience as I have had in the past.

  15. It was my first visit, but the attention I received was truly wonderful. Danielle answered all of my questions and never made me feel like my concerns were not important. My only complaint was the lady at the check in, didn’t seem to be very happy. Maybe she was just having a bad day. She came across as a little rude.

  16. I am always treat with respect and am confident that I will not have to wait long to see the doctor. They are always so cheerful and alway helpful! They are great!

  17. The Nurse (or PA) was very nice. Dr. La Page was very reassuring and kind and resolved my issue. Very willing to listen to me and try to help me. I felt like he sincerely cared.

  18. I was seen promptly, in and out of the office in just 45 minutes including treatment. Everything was explained thoroughly to me. Dr. Olsen was very friendly and patient, thoroughly answering all my questions — including a couple that …

  19. Professionally and gently treated by staff and medical personnel. My only negative is that I had to wait for 30 minutes. My appointment wasScheduled for 7:45 AM and I was not taken to an examining room until 8:15.

  20. Dr. Vangapandu was early to the appointment, handled the new patient process and explained the treatment. The online forms and prescription process were convenient and I was the best, most efficient process I have ever participated in at a doctor’s office. I definitely recommend.

  21. The staff are friendly, professional and respectful. Dr. Serrao is thorough and his bedside manner puts one at ease. I’m not a fan of needles and I’ve had two areas that warranted removal and biopsies. Both were performed with skill and patience.

  22. Efficient sign in, prompt escort to room, instructions, Dr. came in, very quick and thorough exam, explaining along the way. In and out, incredibly fast, appreciated!

  23. Dr.Reed was very professional and friendly. Also very efficient. I came in for a skin screening and a suspicious mole. She did the skin check and removed the mole at the same appointment. I was in and out within 30 mins. Very impressed.

  24. I did not have the need to visit before the Pandemic we all are living in today. However, the entire staff ensured everyone’s safety with a well organized, spaced, and clean environment. At the same time providing personable care to me and actually finding out/treating my skin issue! Keep it up and God bless each of you!!!

  25. I’ve seen Dr. Verma for the last several years for an overall skin check each year. I’ve had a few minor issues as well. I was able to see her each time I needed to outside of a general checkup. She’s personable and answers questions clearly.

  26. I am so impressed with the organization and efficiency of this office. I have been there 4 times and never waited for my appt more than a few minutes. I see the Nurse Practicioner and she is very thorough, reviews my treatment options with me and answers my questions well. Check in and check out is fast and friendly!

  27. This office is very efficient. No waiting forever in the waiting room. Was seen by the doctor within two minutes of entering the exam room. After an examination, I was given an explanation of what was needed to correct my problem. Check out was fast. Great experience.

  28. Dr. Bakos makes me feel comfortable and at ease during treatments. That means a lot to me. He’s very easy to talk to, he answers questions freely and his staff are polite and kind. I am glad to have Dr. Bakos as my dermatologist

  29. Laura Midtlien is wonderful. She always takes time to answer questions and even spent time addressing an issue outside of the scope of my scheduled visit. She is knowledgeable and empathetic. She and Dr. Bakos are great.

  30. I was on autopilot the morning of my appointment and went to my primary care doctor instead. I was late and a bit embarrassed but they saw me very quickly. Dr. Sri Vangapandu identified an issue with my skin that was simply missed by three …

  31. I recently saw Jennifer Midtlien APRN at the Dover medical building location in Kettering, it was my first time ever seeing a dermatologist, she was very professional and friendly, not too mention efficient, I am glad that I was referred to …

  34. This office is welcoming, and efficient. Dr. Verma was prompt, friendly and thorough in examining my skin. She answered all my questions, and me feedback on the condition of my skin and helpful information to follow. I trust her expertise and will return again.

  35. I have been with Dr Barbara Cortez for years and she is always attentive to my issues. I hope she’s around for many years. My father absolutely loved her. She is the best. The staff is kind and accommodating.

  36. Dr. Christine Beaujean is the BEST dermatologist imaginable. She is extremely knowledgeable; exhibits empathy and caring as part of her “everyday bedside manner”; and is, just as a “person,” a deeply interested-in-others human being whose …

  37. Staff is very friendly and helpful. Dr Bakos was prompt and took time to answer questions and outline my treatment. I have recommended this office to several family and friends.

  40. Melissa greeted me warmly and took extr care of me. Dr. Shannon Verma is always exceptional . . . Professional, warm, gracious. I enjoy my opportunities to return and be so well cared for.

  41. Wow I am very happy I went to them! I have been battling eczema for about a year now. My primary care doc told me to just put aquaphor on it 😑. Everyone here was so nice and friendly, they actually want to help. I got some actual medications to try, hopefully it helps! …

  42. Mother is 87yrs. I asked Receptionist to inform the nurse to keep me posted on the steps due to her hearing and confusing. She had to go back 4 times and each time I had to ask what was going on. I think the family should be informed on each step and how long it takes.

  43. I had seen 3 or 4 dermatologists for a couple of skin problems for the past 20 years, trying to get answers. I was accused of causing the problems by two of the dermatologists I had seen. The first time I saw Dr. Cortez, she diagnosed me …

  44. There was a mix up with the information I was given about the procedure I was scheduled to have. Dr. Verma and Melissa handled this so well. First, professionally, by answering my questions and coming up with a better way to handle my …

  45. This was my first visit to this dermatologist and Everyone in the office was so nice. From the girls at the desk to the doctor. Yes doctor sri is very professional and friendly. I trust his expertise and will return again.

  46. Everyone in the office was so nice. From the girls at the desk to the doctor. I’m not sure of the ladies name, I think she was the MA, she was amazing. Everyone seemed to actually care. …

  47. All was good. And, as usual, a busy office so 40-45 minute wait to be called back to a room. But that’s okay. If the doctor is giving their patient the time the patient needs, great. I would want the same. When I got in there though I felt …

  48. This was my first visit to this dermatology office. My only bit of a complaint was that the waiting room is quite small and it was filled with so many patients. …

  49. Great care, answered all questions, very personable staff, everyone seemed to have their patients wellbeing as their top priority. I wiuld recommend them to anyone who’d ask.

  50. Thanks Dr. Kirkpatrick and staff! I was in quickly, staff was friendly and professional. Had a procedure at the surgery center that was performed quickly and thoroughly.

  51. Was quite aggravated that the front desk person wasn’t at her station when I walked in and instead was helping a different patient while not behind the desk Two separate times she said I’ll be with you in just a second -while behind the …

  52. Nice facility and friendly office staff. Park on the Rahn Rd side for easiest entrance. Wheelchair accessible, elevator. Overbooked, 20 min wait. Dr. Meeks is very nice and made sure my needs were addressed. Overall, very good. I’ll definitely return for any future needs because of Dr. Meeks and the friendly staff.

  53. As usual I was delighted by the friendly, efficient, professional and comprehensive medical care that I received on 9/14/2022 at DOCS. I heartily recommend this practice..

  54. Doctor seemed to be in a rush, spent more time waiting than I did with the doctor. Very pleasant, prescribed medications but not a clue what I have. Did say no cancer, yes.

  55. Very well with the surgery. The thing that was upsetting was the fact that I was not notified my wife and son were not allowed to wait in the waiting area. The receptionist said I should have been called with that information. I didn’t …

  56. Practice is well organized, facilities are spick and span. Very neet. Personal corteous and kind. Dr Cortez is a concern and committed professional. Strongly recommended for your dermatology needs.

  57. Dr. Hall and his staff are top notch! My Mohs procedure went well and everyone walked me through the process step by step. I would highly recommend Dr. Hall.

  58. Did not wait long. Dr. Bakos was his usual smiling self and took care of several skin needs I had. Have been well taken care of by him for some time now.

  59. This place is awesome! The dermatologist who saw me listened to all my concerns and educated me on what I have, and how to move forward. I have total confidence in her ability to take care of my situation.

  60. I felt like a number. Rush me in and out. Very disappointing. Maybe try talking to the patient, slow down, and actually focus on the patient and their needs. The doctor even stated the wrong auto immune disease that I have. This happened my last visit as well, but with a different doctor. Probably going to look for a different practice.

  61. Really enjoyed the staff today on our first of many visits. Everyone was helpful and welcoming. Hardly any wait time. Our primary doctor is familiar with our needs and knowledgeable with what we need. We look forward to more visits with this team!

  62. Doctor Sri is the best Dermatologist in the state of Ohio and that’s why I’m willing to drive an hour to see him. He took the very best care of me when I had a place of melanoma removed and he personally called me to discuss the results. He …

  63. The Doctor and staff are always pleasant, I’ve been going here for several years and the wait time is never long. I wish all my doctors appointment time was like this.😊 …

  64. Office staff were super helpful, friendly and very upbeat. Office was very clean. First time patient and all questions were answered, explanation of treatment and what to expect was clearly defined. Will definitely be recommending this office.

  65. My wait was not long, both Dr Cortez and the other doctor were very professional and answered all my questions. Also, the nurse helped by explaining my follow up care and treatment.

  66. Had to wait 30 minutes and then doc made me feel very rushed when we had our 5 minutes together. Not a great first impression. I was also referred upstairs to another doc verbally for issues I raised, but then no formal referral at checkout. Made to feel like they just wanted me out of their office.

  67. Dr Hall did a great job no pain and procedure was completed very fast. Both attending Nurses were outstanding, explained surgical procedure and post surgical instructions expertly, great job thank you!

  68. Dr Bakos is thorough, professional and caring. Took a small sample of tissue from my ear as a precaution to ensure no pre-cancerous concerns since I’m outside every day. I trust him explicitly.

  69. I really appreciate Dr Cortez’s thoroughness and friendliness during my 6-month checkups. Helps put me at ease. Would recommend her to my mother – and I did. 😀 …

  73. I received a bill from this office for someone that doesn’t live at my address, perhaps an old tenant. I opened it to look for contact info for the office since that wasn’t on the envelope, which maybe was not the best but when I called to …

  74. Dr. Verma is absolutely the best dermatologist I have seen. She makes you comfortable, explains things and takes time to address all of your questions. She is very thorough and I highly recommend her to anyone!

  75. I had my first appointment with Abby Sipe, NP-C and she was absolutely amazing! She took the time to explain how to treat my wart that keeps returning and why the OTC products weren’t working for me. If you’re looking for a healthcare provider that has great bedside manner and informative, I would recommend her.

  76. So glad Dr Bakos could see me! He and his entire team of professionals are the very best! They are super busy due to the their excellent care, but when seen, they treat you as if you are the only person being seen that day. Highly recommend this practice.

  77. Dr Cortex is absolutely an amazing Doctor. She takes time to listen to you and is engaged in what is going on with you. I would highly recommend choosing her to help with any issues you have.

  78. Very friendly staff and NP Jennifer Mitliedn(I probably spelled her last name wrong, lol)talked me through my entire procedure which only lasted 5 minutes. Very professional and courteous. 🙂 …

  79. Dr. Bacos is great and very pleasant. I habe been visiting his office location in Centerville for several years which is very convenient. Appointments are always quick and on time.

  80. Dr. Serrao searches for cancer, not just looks you over. Catching skin cancer early is a big deal, I have had it cut off of me 4 times. Two places looked perfectly normal, even when you knew where it was. Other doctors I have been to in the past looked me over so fast I feel as though the would have missed it.

  81. I was called back to an exam room within 10 minutes of my appointment time and waited less than five minutes for the doctor. Doctor and staff are very professional but also pleasant to work with.

    Dr.Sri was thorough and knowledgeable.

  87. Dr. Hall is an excellent plastic surgeon, and his office staff is so friendly. I have never experienced such a pain-free easy procedure. I would highly recommend him to my friends!

  88. Staff including Dr. Fenster & Caitlyn were both very nice & extremely efficient. Procedure only took a few minutes. Waiting for lab results was much longer, but exactly what my information said. 1 1/2-2 hrs. …

  89. Dr. Cortez is fabulous. She is super knowledgeable and very much on top of all new therapies. Would highly recommend whether you just need a skin check or have chronic disease!

  92. The staff was very efficient and friendly and worked seamlessly with the physician. Dr Kirkland performed at his consistent high level to remove my skin lesion painlessly. Highly recommend him and his staff.

  93. Doctor was very kind and thorough. Allowed me to ask any questions I had and with his treatment my warts cleared up in a few weeks after following their instructions! 10/10 would highly recommend for any skin related ailments or issues 😁 …

  94. Absolutely unprofessional. The “doctor” Jennifer something has NO professional and sensible skills. The younger checkin lady was very friendly but the positivity stopped there. The other lady (some old chick) at the check in desk was rude …

  95. Excellent visit. The doctor was on time. Dr Beaujean has a very “joyful” energy that helped me to remain calm. The procedure was done, questions asked and answered, and I felt feeling less anxious that when I went to the appointment. I would recommend Dr. Beaujean.

  96. I so appreciate how friendly and helpful this office is. It took a while to get a new patient appointment, but that is to be expected. I’m so grateful that I got to see Dr. Bakos. He is decisive and inspires confidence while being very kind and caring. Thanks very much!

  105. Dr. Kirkland is a very thorough surgeon. He makes certain he has done everything to perfection to make you healthy. His staff was friendly and comforting today. If and when I need more help I will look to Dr Kirkland to take care of me.

  106. All the people that work there are very polite & cheery. The waiting room is spotless & your wait is not long. Dr Shannon Verma is understanding of your questions & gives precise answers without being abrupt. Very thorough. Paying & setting your next appointment is a breeze.

  107. Everyone was pleasant from start to finish. I arrived early to do paperwork and was called back at the time of my appointment.
