Dr Virginia Reader is the best!! She is very thorough and knowledgeable and takes the time to answer any questions you may have. Her assistant, Jana(I think), was very kind and respectful of my privacy.

I adore Dr Reeder. She’s professional, efficient, and a patient focused mentality. I’m always in and out of her office within an hour of my appointment time and I have the option of telehealth at some intervals of treatment. She is thorough in her exams and ALWAYS ask if I have particular concerns. The nursing assistants are just as good. I go to Dr. Reeder, not Advanced Dermatology.
