I looked up every Virginia rec here and the only board certified derm I saw was Barry.

NW DC, easy access from NoVa, Dr Pinell (near AU). She removed moles from my face, no scaring! You have to keep out of the sun afterwards, I would not do in May, I would wait until September

I'd probably not put off a mole removal for 4 months if a derm recommends removal. But we have close melanoma family history.

Apparently, you did not look all of them up. Sylvia Suarez is board certified in both general and pediatric dermatology.

I'd absolutely go to a PS for mole removal--even on the body if you notice the scars. They are just better at suturing than derms.

I'm really surprised she doesn't come up on my Care First search.

I had my facial moles removed by Dr Mary Ella Carter. At Sibley. A year later and no scar. $600 per mole without insurance.

For the Dr Patricia Lucey rec, can you tell me if you saw her at INOVA or Tamjidi?

I have learned that the CareFirst website of doctor info is really bad. I just double-checked the website and it says "Gayle D Masri Fridling has no available board certification information". Another doc recommended here did not come up in my search of "dermatologist" but their names came up when I searched for them specifically. So, thanks for the info!
