“I have been to so many in person dermatologists and they do not compare to the experience I had booking with Dr. Peppercorn. I provided photos before my appointment and Dr. Peppercorn gave me the most detailed report of my acne and wonderful recommendations as well as prescriptions. In his report he was incredibly empathetic and understood how my struggle with acne has been so frustrating. The process was seamless and the nurse practitioner Danielle was fantastic during my appointment. I look forward to continuing with Dr. Peppercorn and his team! ”

Everything went well; however, they don't prescribe medications, so I have to see a local dermatologist anyway

ZERO. Never provided with a prescription or referral for a skin cancer screening after my appointment with nurse. Waste of my time and copay. I contacted multiple times after my appt and was ghosted.
Verified patientVideo visit
Never got my prescription to go through. Waited over two weeks and still nothing. Very frustrating because I have half the prescription, and the other half is not in my possession. So I am basically wasting half of the prescription without the other.

Waited on zoom for Dr for 20 mins , but he wasnt there. Extremely disappointed that there is no follow up from his side about this.

Horrific service. I was not allowed to see the doctor I booked, they gave me an extremely rushed video appointment with a nurse. Then they asked for my insurance card twice and it took 72 hours to get my prescription. Meanwhile I have a pretty severe rash on my body that they told me is contagious and needs to be dealt with immediately. Absolutely ridiculous, I would stay away unless you have something extremely minor.

Great and seamless experience. All virtual Appointment was within 1-2 days and prescriptions sent to my preferred pharmacy shortly after.
Had an appointment on a Sunday, and they prescribed me something but said I couldn’t get the medicine until Monday bc of my insurance. I’ve gone through this process (teledoc) multiple times and never had to wait to get my medicine because it was the weekend.

Everything was great.
Verified patientVideo visit
I consulted with the nurse practitioner, my concerns were addressed and all my questions were answered. Very pleased with the appointment, being virtual as well I was not sure what to expect.
Verified patientVideo visit
The nurse who communicated with me stated her qualifications and on how the virtual visit may or may not be taken into account for insurance, which helped me understand what I should expect from future communication.
Verified patientVideo visit
The doctor may not have joined the meeting, but he did give a very clear letter explaining the cause of the illness and the reason for prescribing it. The meeting process was friendly. If you know the cause of your condition, you can try this doctor.
