Google Reviews • Forefront

Dr. Duran is unlike most doctors these days. He immediately makes you feel welcomed and valued. He listens to your concerns, assesses your medical issue and then thoroughly explains the recommended treatment. He takes the time to answer any questions you may have. Eye contact and a genuine handshake lets you know you’re in good hands. My procedure has not happened yet, but I have no doubt his skills will be equally as impressive.

Our visit was the first time my 17YO and I had been to Dr. Duran's office for hyperhidrosis. Dr. Duran and his staff member, Gardenia, were very welcoming and pleasant in making our son feel comfortable in their care. Dr. Duran was very knowledgeable in explaining the condition so my teenager could understand what was taking place. He even offered a less evasive treatment option that we had no idea was available. We look forward to continuing our care with Forefront Dermatology. 😀

Professional but yet friendly. Never in a rush. Takes time to listen and address your issues. Frank and honest in his diagnosis and recommendations for treatment.

Google Reviews • Forefront

The experience was great. It was easy to get an appointment. Dr. Duran had great bedside manners. His staff was pleasant as well. He was very familiar with my skin condition and was able to transition my current medical regimen from Northern VA. I am confident that Forefront Dermatology can take the mantle from Advanced Dermatology in Northern VA now that I have relocated to this area.
