The doctor is okay, the wait time is just too long!
More than 1 year agoInitials hidden
Dr. Hatcher seemed knowledgeable. However, the way he communicated my condition to me was insensitive to the point it was inappropriate. His bedside manner was the worst I've ever seen, and it appears as though he treats his patients as revenue streams instead of someone who actually cares about their well being. I will return for a follow up visit, but I will not be recommending Dr. Hatcher and will most likely switch physicians.

Excellent! I have been a patient of Dr. Hatcher for many years and that speaks for itself. Although I was tardy for this visit my wait time was very short. I am always greeted by a professional office staff, pleasant atmosphere and Dr. Hatcher is absolutely wonderful!!!

Excellent service
November 5, 2013Norma Q.Verified patient
It was fine aside from the fact that I was told I may have a problem than was not contacted for days after. I called relentlessly waiting to hear my diagnosis and what the next step was and was never gotten back to. I think that's simply awful to take someones health so lightly and not so much as have a message relayed by a nurse or receptionist. Never been more disappointed and have changed doctors.

Overall I had a great experience with Dr. Hatcher. I did not feel rushed and he took the time to answer all my questions and subscribe the appropriate product. The only compliant as mentioned by others is the wait time.
August 25, 2013Mona W.Verified patient
Visit was good except I had to fill out paperwork all over again even though I did it online through ZocDoc. Added an additional 15 mins to my wait time :(

He was wonderful. I felt like he was really thinking analytically to figure out a solution for me and my skin. He gave me all the information I needed to make an informed decision about how to move forward.

He spoke a lot and therefore, he lost my attention. I felt he was somewhat knowledgeable. I will return due to the convenience, but that's about it.

Dr. Virgil was extremely professional and attentive to my concerns. He even went beyond my reason for seeing him and suggested remedies for adult acne

I was very satisfied with my visit and pleased with the level of detail of his assessment. I was also glad about his readiness to perform a biopsy on-the-spot in order to provide an even deeper assessment and plan for treatment.
