Google Reviews • Forefront

Rachel and staff was very nice. I went for a skin check. Rachel was very thorough. My only suggestion of improvement about the office is that I did the check in before with Phreesia and then was asked for info again when I arrived (pictures of insurance card, photo ID and insurance information). When I said I completed it online, the receptionist said that they have 3 systems to enter it into. Why not customize Phreesia to not ask for stuff you know you will get in the office. It would save staff and patient time. I work with Phreesia at my work so I know it’s very customizable. The online check in did save a lot of consent signing when I got there.

Rachel and her team at Forefront Dermatology were great. Both my husband and I (at different times) have had appointments with Rachel. She is very thorough and listened to all my concerns. She and her team made me feel relaxed and calmed my fears. They addressed the problem and answered all of my other questions. I always felt like I was the only patient they had! I can wholeheartedly recommend Rachel and the team at Forefront Dermatology.
