Verified patient
Dr. Appiah was very personable, professional and knowledgeable. She impressed me with her genuine concern for my health. Even though there seemed to be a large number of patients in the waiting room, Dr. Appiah never made me feel like I was being rushed. This was my first visit and I am blessed God made a way for me to connect with this doctor. The young lady who called me in to take my information was likewise personable and attentive.
Verified patient
The waiting area was not COVID safe. The chairs were not spaced out. The doctor was ok. She came in wearing a sweatshirt and I wasn’t sure she was the doctor. She felt my lump and gave me quick options. I didn’t feel that she spent that much time talking to me and it felt rushed. Nice personality though.
Dr Appiah is very professional, addressed my concerns and answered my questions. I have been her patient for quite a number of years and been totally satisfied with her care. Office staff is pleasant and friendly as well as Dr Appiah’s assistant. I receive reminders of my appointments both by phone and email, which I find very helpful.
Verified patient

Verified patient
I recommend All Phases. I have seen two of the doctors in the practice and they are both friendly and provided high quality care.
Great service!
Not the best experience at this office. Had a five minute appointment and the doctor seemed rushed; did not take time to explain the medications I needed and almost nothing was covered by insurance.
Dr. Appiah is wonderful. She is very thorough, answers all questions and concerns and advises appropriately. I highly recommend her.
The front office staff was professional, personable, and informative. Dr. Appiah has a pleasant personality. She is efficient and she answers all your questions. I find her very comfortable to talk with about any issues.
Verified patient
The office staff was professional and efficient but I was not satisfied with my experience with this doctor. For a first-time patient with history of melanoma, she took about two minutes for a skin check with no conversation or questions and asked me to schedule a follow up when I had a more detailed question. Only advice was wear “sunscreen and a hat” - true, but pretty basic.
I'm sure she's a good doctor but she did not invite communication from me about my condition. Little to no empathy shown and I was a new patient. Thought she would have had better bedside manner especially for Black female patient.
Verified patient
Dr Appiah was very professional, a great listener with wonderful bedside manner. She listen and understood my concerns. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a dermatologist.
Verified patient
Dr. Appiah is straight forward, no nonsense, and direct. As a Black female patient, I feel comfortable discussing my concerns with her and her staff. I would recommend her practice.
I will not be returning
I am very pleased with my visit today.
