Carol L Piatt

One of the best doctors I’ve seen in northern Virginia will continue to come to her is very understanding very intelligent the atmosphere is great makes you feel welcome

I second the previous review. Dr Piatt is one of the nicest people you could ever hope to meet, and a patient and caring doctor — not to mention she is on top of the latest techniques and dermatological treatments (cosmetic and medical). She is also considerate of one’s time as I’ve yet to be left in the waiting room for more than five minutes. Which, in this case, I wouldn’t mind because her receptionist/​office manager Melanie is a delight and I enjoy conversing with her (also, how cool is it that she is allowed to bring her newborn to work? Very cool.)
Dr. Piatt also gave the thumbs up for a much needed psoriasis prescription, a very costly one that other dermatologists refuse to prescribe because it’s only been out for four years. However, she had just returned from a conference that discussed this particular drug and studies have shown that it’s fairly safe. She was the only dermatologist to be on top of this and maybe if the others had done their research, they would not have been so quick to dismiss it. (Either that or they’re getting kickbacks by the other companies who make the drugs they were trying to push on me). There was a lot of hurdles to jump through to get it started but Dr. Piatt and Melanie worked diligently for weeks to make sure the paperwork was processed properly in order for the company to cover the cost 100%.
As far as insurance is concerned, they do not accept it, period. But as far as I’m concerned, I’m more than willing to travel the distance and pay out of pocket to continue seeing Dr. Piatt. Period.

Dr. Carol Piatt is hands down the BEST dermatologist in Northern VA. Before going to her I had searched endlessly for a good dermatologist in NOVA and ended up with nothing but horrible reviews. Dr. Piatt’s office is a nice, small and clean facility. There was no wait time to see her. Her staff of receptionist are the nicest and most knowledgeable people that I have ever dealt with. She listens and really cares about her patients. I would recommend her to anyone!
