Surgical Dermatologists who are Physicians - Vienna, VA

"Dr. Redbord is an outstanding doctor. She's thorough, patient, informative, and just a genuine nice person. Unfortunately, when I shifted to a Medicare advantage plan, I lost the privilege of her services. Absolutely do not hesitate to utilize this professional. She's first class all the way."

"Avoid. Brusque, curt, rude, and dismissive. I had my first and last appointment today. It lasted all of 10 minutes. I had acne and hyoerpigmentation concerns. As I explained, he interrupted me midsentence, and snapped, "I wouldn't change what you're using now. If you like it, keep using it. Don't pay money on prescriptions just to spend money." Excuse me? I was asking him for his medical opinion on whether I needed prescriptions in the first place. And I don't need accounting advice, thanks. He whipped out two prescriptions (one for a medication I was already taking), and hurried me out. I asked the front desk whether he was always that brusque, and they said yes. They also said his father was exactly the same way. No, thanks. You're not getting my time and co-pay if you have no time for me. This is health we're talking about. He might be a fine doctor if he never had to interact with patients. But he does. Luckily, I won't be one of them."

"First, I am not one to write review in the negative sense. I was a new patient, I had an appointment at 9:30 am, I was second in the reception area, filled out the paper work, they got to be quickly and put me in a room. The Physician assistant asked me what I was there for and I said a little growth that had popped up on my forehead, very small ½ size of an eraser. She then asked if I would like a full body exam. Thinking I am here, it would be a good idea, never know, assistant asked me to disrobe except my underwear and put this paper towel over myself. She left the room, I did it. Then I sat in the room for ½ hour and decided that was too long and without an update I put my clothes on, opened the door found the assistant and explained that sitting in my underwear for ½ in the room was degrading. I very politely said if he can’t see me in the next 15 minutes I was leaving. She said I was the first in the appointment and she would get him. DR. Theodore Sebastien came in the room about 2 minute later. He asked me the problem looked at the growth, then I wanted him to look at another mole, he kind of pulled at my shirt collar, I took off my shirt. He seemed more concerned about other things, did not get his full attention. He said would not remove the little growth, It is considered cosmetic and Insurance would not pay. Never assume I could pay. They gave me some sample cream to use, sent in a prescription to pharmacy and sent me on my way. All in all, started out good, ended poorly, I would not go back."

"Dr. Tinklepaugh and the whole staff are absolutely wonderful. The office is brand new, and everyone is welcoming. Dr. Tinklepaugh is thorough, an excellent communicator, and it's clear he prioritized customer care. I highly recommend him! "
