I did not have to wait but a few minutes to see the dr. Very nice lady addressed my concern with a mole. She burned it off, with just a little pain.

I’m 55, and this is my first time visiting a dermatology office. I’m so happy I chose Forefront Dermatology in Knightdale. From my first visit, the staff have treated me with kindness and made me feel comfortable and welcome. The service has been excellent so far, and I truly love it there. I’m grateful to have found a place where I feel cared for, and I’d gladly recommend them to others.

–Forefront Patient

John Shepard is a great physician and is helping me to retrieve hairs I have lost. He started my hair treatments immediately. I was very surprised. I'm seeing some hair growth now and I'm very pleased.

–Forefront Patient

Everyone in the office was friendly and helpful. Great explanations of instruction for medicine prescribed.
