Google Reviews • Forefront

I’ve struggled with hair loss for years and felt completely lost about what to do. As a Black woman with a challenging 4C texture, my hair is a huge part of my identity, so watching it thin and break over time was devastating. When I finally decided to seek professional help, I knew I needed a Black dermatologist who truly understood my hair. I found exactly that in Dr. Adekemi Akingboye Harvey, MD, FAAD. She diagnosed me with Central Centrifugal Cicatricial Alopecia (CCCA) and prescribed two medications—one of which she explained is specially mixed with oil by a single company in Tennessee so it adheres better to textured hair. That alone told me she gets our hair. She even shared her own personal experience and her sister’s, which made me feel incredibly seen and understood. My hair is thriving now, and I’m beyond thrilled with the results. I’ve been recommending Dr. Harvey to everyone I know.

Dr. Harvey gets an “11” from me. I’ve been to two other dermatologists trying to have my skin condition diagnosed and treated. Neither was of them hadn’t a clue (yet didn’t own up to it) and said it was dry skin and suggested itch relief cream and moisturizer! Dr. Harvey instantly identified the problem made a proper diagnosis and treatment.
