Masri Fridling is board certified

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!

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

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

Really?

5 second google search

Dr. Patricia Lucey is a specialty care physician board certified in dermatology. She joined Inova Medical Group after graduating from residency. She completed a year-long fellowship in cutaneous oncology/melanoma at the Washington Hospital Center/Washington Cancer Institute, focusing on the detection and management of pigmented lesions, melanoma and other skin cancers.

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

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.

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

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