This was my first time seeing a dermatologist as an adult and I went for a full body check. I felt extremely comfortable, at ease, and taken care of with Dr. Nahass. He was kind and professional (as was his staff), and I would 100% recommend this practice to anyone looking for a new dermatologist.
Verified patient
Dr Nahass is highly competent and very kind. His explanations were clear and helpful. He made me feel at ease and I definitely will see him again.
Verified patient
Waited about 20-30 minutes to see the doctor, the appointment was quick but he addressed all my concerns and had good bedside manner.
The office staff of Dr.Nahass was very professional, kind and caring. From the reception to the assistant to the doctors there was a clear communication loop. I came into to treat a deformed nail that was falling off and painfully experiencing nail trauma after a paronychia infection from a few months ago. He was able to numb the area with lidocaine and eventually pull the nail off and assure me that my new nail is in good shape. The procedure was a little painful but he was apologetic.
Verified patient
