I had a great experience with Dr. Duran at my last appointment, he explained everything thoroughly, answered all of my questions and I didn't feel rushed. I would highly recommend him and Forefront Dermatology.

Great experience at Forefront Dermatology with PA Erica Carter. She has a pleasant and friendly personality that made me feel comfortable during the exam. The exam was very thorough and complete. She explained her diagnosis and treatment so that I could understand what was needed. I will be going back for any other dermatological treatment.

I was greeted by Dr. Duran's nurse, Gardenia who asked me a few questions and we discussed my concerns. She was lovely. Dr. Duran came in and was very pleasant. We talked about excision of a cyst and he removed a couple of milia. He talked with me the entire time and was very reassuring. The front desk staff was very nice and got my surgery scheduled asap. Overall, a wonderful experience.

Erica and the staff at Forefront are very professional and kind. I felt like Erica listened to all of my skin concerns and checked my skin very thoroughly. I would recommend Forefront to all of my friends and family!

So grateful I found this place! PA Erica was wonderful. She addressed all of my concerns and was very kind and attentive. I never felt rushed or like I was just a number. Every member of the staff I interacted with was friendly and professional. I highly recommend this office and will definitely be back if I have any other issues. Thank you all so much ♥️

This was my first experience with a dermatologist. I have a spot on my leg I wanted looked at and also get a full body check. Scheduling was easy and I got an appointment for 2 weeks out, not bad for a specialist. I filled out the paperwork online so I showed up for my appointment at the time I was given. My first impression wasn’t the best, as the receptionist was very cold. No smile, no anything, all business. I asked her a question and she acted like it was an answer I should have already known. Not really rude, just not friendly. The receptionist is the first and last person you see, so she should be friendly, at least smile. Next I was greeted by Gardenia, Dr. Duran’s nurse. She was extremely nice and pleasant! The doctor was very nice and knowledgeable as well. Very thorough and seemed to know his stuff. I plan to go back in a year. I really like this place, with the exception of the receptionist, who was on the right as you go to the desk.

–Forefront Patient

Everyone was very kind and friendly.I didn't have to wait long to be seen.Dr Duran was very kind and patient answered my questions and did what was needed.I highly recommend them.
