“Well the receptionists were not pleasant and quite frankly I had a bad feeling about the practice. Their office is not made for disabled people so I couldn't even sit in a chair because I could not get into that portion of the office. So definitely this office is not for people who are disabled like myself”

Gave me prescriptions and scheduled me for a follow up appointment
Overall it was a fine experience ”

It took doctor Forero less then 10 minutes to access me and create a regimen. The appointment was short and sweet and wait time depends on how early you get there in my experience.

Dr Josie Forero is an excellent dermatologist I have seen her a few years ago for a skin check and she found a couple of areas which ended up not being cancerous. I am awaiting the biopsy results of another area and hopefully will have the same results. I highly recommend Dr Forero and Water’s Edge Dermatology
October 23, 2024Michael C.Verified patient
Ive had eczema since I was a kid and have tried many things to treat it. She really listened to me and went above and beyond to order what i needed from a special pharmacy. I definitely recommend her if youre looking for a dermatologist ??

Ok
August 7, 2024Hilton M.Verified patient
Seemed extremely educated and knowledgeable regarding skin issues. I don’t like going off reviews that relate solely to how nice the staff were and how clean the office was. What I care about is does the doctor deal with my health needs. Doctor Forero did! I have a couple of biopsies she took, which will await the results. A recent prior appointment with a different provider did not notice the items doctor Forero noticed. Dr Forero has a much more thorough way about her examination I felt.
July 16, 2024Paul B.Verified patient
The Front Desk staff very nice and greeted everyone with a smile. The medical assistant Fabiola was very hospitable and friendly. Dr. Forero was very meticulous and knowledgeable. She made sure to give a thorough assessment which made feel like cared and committed to doing her best. She has very good bedside manner. I will be returning.

The Dr was great, advised me the mole I was concerned about was a harmless cyst, but noticed something on my neck that did need a biopsy. She did the biopsy right then. Very professional.

I do not think the doctor knew what my condition was. She used her phone the whole time and my questions weren’t clearly answered. I do not know if she’s unfamiliar with treating skin of color but her knowledge seemed very limited. I was not pleased. I did not feel reassured that she understood what was happening with my skin. She even said she doesn’t know the cause. I don’t feel satisfied. She couldn’t answer if my condition was due to my diet, the sun, couldn’t recommend anything good. Just didn’t feel like I got a good consultation. She was not knowledgeable about dark skin.
