I’m sorry to hear you are having difficulties with a diagnosis and follow up care—I know how frustrating it can be. My experience with GW Derm was okay but not very personal. I felt they were lacking in patient care and communications. I saw a second dermatologist (who I can’t remember the name but openly admitted they specialized in cosmetic stuff) who recommend both Dr R. Prussick (years of experience & very good with patient care) or Dr Ben Lockshin (has received derm awards). Good luck and keep your chin up!

I second Prussick who I've been with since moving into the area a few years ago. He and his staff are very good with patient care even when I leave feeling frustrated (chronic eczema since I was a kid, symptoms are under enough control that I am functional & living good enough lol).

FWIW, I've been going to Ben Lockshin's practice for over a decade at this point (his father, Norman, practiced there before him) and have always had a solid experience.

One thing I would recommend is coming with a full list of what you've tried so you can go through it with the doctor and don't forget anything. My derm (Saurabh Singh) is great, but it is a BUSY practice and I feel like I always have to be on my A game to go through everything before he's off to the next patient. I've seen other docs in the practice in urgent cases b/c it can take months for me to see him for routine check-ins and had the same feeling.

They're good, but they're also scheduled really tightly I think.
