“I see Dr. Barry every two weeks, I think her bedside manner are great, I also think she is extremely intelligent. Do not underestimate her. As a patient she heard my concerns about what I am going through and really listened. I have a lot of respect for this Doctor, she is short simple, and to the point. Her staff is extremely friendly as well.”

“I had a good overall experience at Dermatology & Dermatologic Surgery Group of Northern Virginia, PLLC. I saw Dr. Nimms for a skin evaluation, and everything was handled professionally and efficiently. I returned about three weeks later for a biopsy, and the process was smooth and well-explained. I received my results a couple of weeks afterward with clear communication. No complaints — solid care and service from start to finish. Highly recommend.”

“Below standard care. No doctor/patient relationship attempts, over years. Routing calls to answering service every morning and randomly during business hours - and they won’t take messages. Answer service woman is plain rude and condescending. Difficult to cancel appointments. So glad I found a better option in Fairfax.”

“Avoid Dermatology & Dermatologic Surgery Group of Northern Virginia, PLLC (Dr. Nims, Dr. Barry, and Dr. Redbord). Ask your primary care physician or insurance for a different dermatologist. I too was referred to Dermatology & Dermatologic Surgery Group of Northern Virginia, PLLC by Tricare Prime. Reading reviews before my visit, it was obvious they were NOT a 5 star Dermatology or Surgery group, but due to insurance restrictions, I decided to try them. I will highlight, I have seen several Dermatologists at Skin DC in Roslyn and had Mohs surgery under the watchful care of Dr. Vishal Patel (in Wash DC) in the past and those were 5 star experiences. The difference was SHOCKING! Dr. Nims’ bedside manner was non-existent. She was completely uninterested in previous relevant medical history and she spoke down to me. Her tentative diagnosis was accurate, but she was unable to do a biopsy on the spot like most other dermatologists in northern Virginia. Instead they wanted me to wait for a month for a biopsy. Ridiculous! Most other dermatologist in the NCR will take a biopsy on the spot and you’ll have results within seven days. I believe they are maximizing billable charges and likely running their own on-site (part-time) lab to bill for that as well. Don’t take my word for it, read the other reviews. Surgery is a BIG DEAL. Fight for your right to go somewhere decent.”
