Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

AVOID! - Misdiagnosed problem, cost more than most
AVOID THIS PROVIDER!! Dr. Burgess misdiagnosed my issue. She performed a painful and expensive treatment that included firing lasers onto my face, which did not solve the issue. She then prescribed a medication the worsened the issue. Awful, costly, and painful experience. I went to another dermatologist, who immediately performed an accurate diagnosis, changed my prescription, and solved the issue.

Outstanding, professional, accessible, answers all of my questions with care and understanding and with respect. Dr. Burgess has done what other dermatologist could not do... she has made my hair grow back! Her products for my skin are excellent, so much so that my other doctors and friends have asked what have I been doing to have such a clear complexion. She is a complete doctor, by listening to me and I do mean actually listening (not doing something else while I am talking to her), but actually looking at me when I am speaking is an indication that she does not consider her patients just another billing number. She has been a tremendous asset to my life. I might also add that I have been a patient of hers for more than 15 years. And obviously I will continue (she has made me look 10 years younger than my actual 68 years, what more could a patient ask for! I truly thank you Dr. Burgess for enhancing my life.

Excellent physician and very personal, lovely bed-side manner. Very knowledgable of the latest innovations and has contributed and still contributes to her field tremendously. She is also one of only two physicians in the area that prescribe Accutane when necessary. The treatment was life-altering in my case, and I continue to visit Dr. "B" for all of my skin care needs. Phenomenal service and results overall w/hands-on care! Sincerest thanks...

Dr. Burgess is a wonderful doctor. She's the one you need to go to if someone else can't determine the cause of your problem or has done you more harm than good. I've been to a number of dermatologists in the D.C. area many of whom are highly regarded. Dr. Burgress surpasses all of them. Besides having great technical skills, she has superb people skills as well. The only downside is you do have to spend a fair amount of time in the waiting room. I've experienced this with other derm docs. too.

Dr. Burgess is absolutely the best dermatologist in the mid-atlantic region (maybe even the east coast). She is a great diagnostician, superb at explaining condition and treatment options. She also the very best for cosmetic options. I highly recommend her.
