Forefront Dermatology
First time patient and was very impressed! From the front desk, to the MA ( Micheal’s) to Dr. Kellawan. Everyone was nice and made me feel like they were concerned either way my issues. I would happily refer!

Dr Kellawan is very professional, and kind, he explained everything he was going to do. It was clear he knew what he was doing, and my removals were as painless as they could be. I expected pain on a 6-7 scale, but it was very minimal, and I am very happy!

My mother and I saw Emily NP yesterday and had a great experience. My mother is 92 years old and both Emily and assistant Bailey were so kind and patient with my mom. Overall a pleasant experience. Highly recommend this practice. I also see Dr. Kellawan yearly and have always had a good experience

Forefront Dermatology
I have seen Dr. Kellawan several times over the years with a very good experience. Today, however was very different. I waited over an hour to be seen and watched 2 patients arriving with appointments after mine being seen first. Dr. Kellawan then gave me all of about five minutes, examined me from the waist up and said all was good. My primary reason for the visit was very itchy red bumps and was told it was infected hair folliculitis and when I asked what causes such a condition, I was told, “it just happens” and should be of no concern and was then called in a prescription cream. “But I was concerned as to why.” And I waited for well over an hour for such condescending response. Dr. Kellawan may need to revisit his reason for being a health care provider. Patients do have important reasons “for them” when visiting their doctor.

Forefront Dermatology
I went to see Dr. Kellawan because I have been breaking out in hives for over a month. The first vist, he asked me if I had been taking allergy medicine, such as Claritin. I told him yes and that it wasn't working. So he decided to up the dosage. He said if that didn't work he would refer me to an allergist. I was scheduled another appointment for two weeks later. I went in, missed two hours of work, just for him to do absolutely nothing except told me to call this allergist he sends patients to. So, with everyone struggling with inflation and rising gas prices etc, not only did I miss out on two hours of pay, but now I am also stuck with two doctors bills. I would not recommend this practice. Both times, he also seemed like he was in a huge hurry. This practice is more concerned with making as much money as possible and not the patients health.

I do NOT recommend this practice. The staff wasn't exactly friendly and the doctor acted like I was keeping him from something more important. He rushed me through my appointment and brushed off almost every spot I pointed out as just a mole. I'm glad I listened to my gut and got a 2nd opinion because the "fleshy mole" on my face turned out to be skin cancer and the other "mole" is a cyst.

Short wait time, Dr. listened to my concerns, offered treatment solutions. Only negative comment is prescription was sent to Walgreens instead of preferred pharmacy, OptumRX where scripts were sent before. This is not the first time this has happened.
