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.

Excellent visit with Dr. Nims.
I have been a patient of Dr. Nims since 1991. The treatment provided by Dr. Nims and her staff has been outstanding.

Not a good experience
The doctor lacks a bedside manner. I wanted an all body cancer check and that never happened. She was combative when I could not tell her how I got a lesion that I have had for many years. A true waste of my time. I would not recommend her for anything.

very knowledgeable and experienced
Dr. Nims is very knowledgeable and experienced. She doesn't waste time and tells you all you need to take care of your skin during the examination. I like her methodological style, perhaps because I come prepared and don't need handholding I have had her as my doctor for the last 12 years and have the utmost respect for her and the entire team at Dermatology & Dermatologic Surgery Group of Northern Virginia.

Dr. Nims is so experienced, knowledgeable and helpful. She basically teaches you all about your skin condition while she works. Most doctors say little and give you a prescription. It's a privilege to live close enough to have her as my doctor. She's treated my whole family, so my assessment is based on multiple visits and multiple family members.

Dr Nims has been my mother’s dermatologist for over 30 years. She diagnosed her with a very rare form of cancer, Padgett’s Disease, over 20 years ago. She is excellent, as are her partners. Mom (89 now). Recently had a hypertensive crisis in their office, requiring EMT’s and they were amazingly supportive and of great assistance to both of us in dealing with the situation.
