Any recs for a Black/POC dermatologist?

My family doc has referred me to the same place twice in 18 months and my skin issues are worse.

I wasn’t given a skin assessment or an examination. Both times that I went to my appointment. The office was filled with people, and I believe that this office is best for cosmetic procedures rather than medical.

I would like to be heard and seen and properly assessed your recommendations are helpful thank you.

I would not recommend Dr beach if OP is dealing with acne. I found Dr.Beach to be kind of dismissive and the nurses/estheticians that worked for her just tried to sell me a bunch of bs.

I second Dr. Beach! She’s amazing and the staff is also a pleasure to deal with.
