Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

I have had 3 - visits with Dr. Beard (Scalf) and her staff. I have had an annoying skin issue for about 3 - years and this group has finally gotten me on a path that I think is going to heal me! Over the last couple of weeks I was administered a patch test by Lindsay, who is also great to work with. The results are rather surprising, as it has been determined that I am allergic to stainless steel and black hair dye. No Rudy Giuliani reenactments from me! The allergy to stainless is problematic as I love to cook and love my AllClad pots and pans, dinnerware will have to be plastic or silver, almost all of the appliances as well as the sinks are stainless and list list goes on. There will be gloves everywhere! I give a 2 - thumbs up to this practice and especially Dr. Beard and Lindsay.

About Me

care philosophy

As a result of changes made during the COVID shutdowns, Dr. Leigh Ann Carter Beard (formerly Scalf) is now practicing solo without Nurse Practitioners or a PA. Dr. Beard continues to provide excellent care with even more personalized service than before.

biography

Dr. Beard (formerly Scalf)  is both a Dermatologist and a Dermatopathologist, which means that she reads the biopsies of her own patients.  This clinical-pathologic connection adds another level to the care her patients receive. ...read more
