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.

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.
