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.

PROFESSIONAL
Dr. Nakib is very thorough in her exam. Answers all your questions politely and her staff is courteous. A pleasure to have a human answer the phone as well.

Dr. Nakib helped me when I couldn’t get help elsewhere; had it not been for her I would have been to the emergency room multiple times. She makes time foe her patients and her office staff is nice.

Had a long overdue annual body scan today, by Dr Nakib. First time seeing her. So impressed with her, not only with her obvious certainty in her field, but also with her calming manner with an apprehensive patient! Have already recommended her to 2 friends! Oh, forgot to say we drove from northwest DC for our appointment, and are so glad we did!

My appointment was originally for a cosmetic procedure but Dr. Nakib noticed a spot on my face and asked to get a biopsy. I’m hopeful for good news but if not, at least Dr. Nakib noticed it and recommended a course of action.

Dr. Nakib is an excellent doctor, not to mention very friendly and empathetic. She listened attentively to my concerns, took her time to explain my options, and her bedside manner was very considerate and professional. I'm incredibly happy with the results of my treatment! The wait time for my appointment was minimal and Dr. Nakib's staff were so helpful and efficient, they truly made me feel welcome. Also, the office was very clean and nicely decorated. Overall, great experience and I plan to go back there for all my dermatological needs!

Very bad experience with her. Would rate with lots of minus. If you need a dermatologist in Northern Virginia, run away from this one; run fast and far. Absolutely incompetent. Waste of time and money, but lots of frustration.
