Everything about the AD & CS office in LaPlata is commendable.
Dermatologist Dr.was great and so was the assistant.
Concerns of a bump that popped up and grew rapidly
Even though paying out of pocket provider refused to see me because I have insurance. I didn’t want to use my insurance and was refused because I didn’t have a referral from the insurance I didn’t plan on using to pay for the visit.

Melissa is AWESOME!!! Anytime I have problems with my skin, (acne, keloid, alopecia), she is my go-to person. Highly recommend her!
Verified patient
Front desk staff friendly & welcoming. The office was nice & clean! I was a new patient so prior to my visit, I reviewed prior comments and some of the comments were not very good; but I wanted to see for myself, and low and behold, the staff & atmosphere was totally opposite from some of the negative comments I had read. I had a nice pleasant experience & would recommend this office to my friends & family! I was seen by Malissa Vernecion, she was professional, very informative & had a friendly demeanor! I have nothing but good things to say about my visit!
Verified patient
Appointment was rushed, I didn’t feel like the provider took time to listen to me and spent less than five minutes( and that is being generous)in the room with me. Patient in the waiting room was there for more than an hour with out being seen so was very unhappy. I will be finding a new provider and will not return to this practice

Melissa Venancio in the La Plata MD office is excellent. I always enjoy coming to the dermatologist to see her for a skin cancer check (even though it's sometimes scary because I've had basal cell carcinoma 5 times). She knows exactly what to do and, in addition to being very professional, she is also very friendly.
Thorough and efficient appointment!
