Patient Reviews for Dr. Sumayah Jamal - MD, PhD
Dr. Jamal was very knowledgable of my skin condition and provided me with the best treatment options possible. She made me feel comfortable as she was attentive and validated my concerns. I would definitely recommend Dr. Jamal.
She was great! Very professional, knowledgeable, and friendly. Her office is super organized and her staff is friendly and polite. I loved my experience!
She's just great!
Dr. Jamal was very professional and answered my questions regarding my visit that left me reassured.
My visit was amazing the staff was friendly, courteous, and speedy, lol like nearly no wait time, and Dr. Jamaal...A absolute "Gem", simply plesant and professional
It was an excellent and productive experience. I'm very happy with Dr. Jamal.
Professional and friendly!
Very friendly and knowledgeable
Her front staff needs a little work but she made some recommendations that sounds pretty good and I will stick with her. Her PA's were very nice.
I saw Doctor Sumayah once since I've been to her office. I ended up having another doctor as a regular. She is amazing nonetheless. The office is clean, and her staff is nice. I would recommend.
Very bad follow up 2 Month to schedule an appointment that got cancelled 1.5 mont later. Happened twice...
Very attentive, resposive to questions, clear and personable. I felt that I was able to make informed decisions after speaking with Dr Jamal.
She is very thorough with her assestments
Dr. Jamal is the best.
I had an early appointment so I did not have to wait. The main Dr. is not there on the weekend but I was still pleased with the service I received.
The staff are quite friendly and the atmosphere is very calm. The dermatologist that attended to me was patient and seemed to be knowledageble. I will definitely be returning and hopefully, the results I am looking for is fulfilled.
Incredibly thorough and detailed skin check. Highly recommended!
I've been seeing Dr. J fr years. Her office managers have acually gotten MUCH better (or maybe changed altogether), so the wait time has drastically decreased. Dr. J is one of the more digital saavy docs that I see, so it's really easy for her to look up my records, send in percription info to the pharmacy, etc. Very easy!
Dr. Jamal is down to earth, and nice.
So far so good :)
i was a patient aprox 4 years ago, and she has not only maintained the standards, she has done the impossible! improved already great standards. david howson
The results after my visits were awesome and I keep getting complimented and have informally referred her to friends. I do think her bedside manners could be better though. Other than that, I think you'll get great results with her.
She was very professional and very well qualified. She is also a very good listener. I will gladly keep her as my doctor (dermatology) from now on. Thank you Doctor! Dérahonon Djédjé
Very nice and extremely professional. Will definitely go back!
My first trip to a dermatologist ever--which I was very nervous about--turned out to be completely painless. Everyone in the office was incredibly friendly; overall, a great experience!
I have seen Dr. Jamal several times and I am always irked by her bedside manner. She is condescending, always in a rush, judgmental. And she is always trying to get me to buy $40 cleansers and scrubs, knowing full well there are comparable products out there for less money. The office is clean and I rarely have to wait. I adore the nurses that work there and wish they could be the only people I have to deal with - they are sweet, upbeat, understanding and patient. But it's time to find someone else.
Dr Sumayah had a great way of explaining what my skin condition was, what caused it and what I could do to prevent another flare up. She is friendly and professional, and also has flawless skin, which is always reassuring in a dermatologist. I highly recommend her to others.
Doctor was very thorough and put me at ease. Quickly diagnosed the possibilities of my condition and informed me of all ways that i can have it resolved. Would definitely recommend this facility to others.
