    Not one to typically post Google Reviews, but sharing my experience with Dr. Agha and her team to hopefully help other patients with atypical or cancerous moles. Had I seen someone share their experience on here, I would not have trusted Dr. Agha with my skin. Summary of my experience: Dr. Agha excised two of my moles after pathology determined that my moles contained atypical cells. A week or so after getting my first mole excised, I noticed that my excision did not seem to be healing well & asked Dr. Agha about it when she was performing my 2nd excision. She removed a few of the stitches stating that it was a little irritated and gave me Synalar to put on my excision. Shortly after that procedure, I noticed that my excision was opening significantly (despite me resting during that time) & was developing exudate (which looked almost like a tooth was growing in my back). I began growing concerned about my excisions & how they were healing, so I reached out to my best friendā€™s mother, who is also a dermatologist. After looking at photos of my back, she encouraged me to send Dr. Agha photos of my excision in the patient portal for her to provide medical advice on. She encouraged me to have her re-suture the excisions as to avoid worse scarring. Taking my friendā€™s motherā€™s advice, I posted photos in my patient portal & asked Dr. Agha if I needed to come back in to have them looked at. After not getting a response back from Dr. Agha, I called her office & her Physician Assistant informed me that Dr. Agha told her to tell me that I should let them heal open as to avoid more scarring and suggested that I clean them with hydrogen peroxide and continue applying Synalar on the excisions. I went back to my friendā€™s mother & told her that I was informed to let them heal open & to apply hydrogen peroxide to them. She was shocked by that advice and informed me that hydrogen peroxide would kill the cells I needed to help my wound heal. She then recommended that I saw a Plastic Surgeon to fix the work that Dr. Agha did as to prevent worse scarring. I then went to a Plastic Surgeon who also was concerned with the medical advice and work done by Dr. Agha. He informed me that the sutures she used, chromic sutures, are sutures that are often times very aggravating to the skin & as a result, not often used or recommended by his office. Thankfully, he was able to remove the exudate that had developed & re-suture my skin. The difference between the work he & Dr. Agha performed was astonishing. Thankfully, my wounds healed wonderfully after the work my Plastic Surgeon performed. Why I am writing this: I am very lucky to have physicians in my life who can provide me with medical advice. Had I not had access to other physicians, I would have thought that what I went through was normal & would have had horrible scarring on my back compared to what I have now. I also am writing this because my experience with Dr. Agha was further worsened by the lack of communication with her office. When I received a bill in the mail from Dr. Agha, I emailed her & her team asking if the amount I paid my Plastic Surgeon could be deducted from the out of pocket amount I owed her. They never responded to my email & after sending follow-up emails & calling her office - I was able to speak to Dr. Agha. She was extremely defensive when she jumped on the phone & started to tell me that I was wrong for going to a Plastic Surgeon without giving her a chance to ā€œfix her workā€. Each time I tried to speak, she would cut me off and talk over me. As a patient who has an extreme fear of needles & had a horrible experience, getting yelled at on the phone made this the worst medical experience I have ever had.

    My first and last visit. I was sent to Rania Agha to simply have an old scar from malignant melanoma to be checked. Suddenly out of nowhere I was handed a pamphlet to prepare to have surgery on a varicose vein without her knowing me at all. Secondly out of nowhere without my permission she sprayed growths with a freezing solution. It did not remove the growths but caused me permanent skin irritation. Next thing I know I'm being scheduled for an ultrasound on my leg when it was supposed to be my arm. She gave my area of malignant melanoma no attention other than to say she could remove scar tissue She told her staff she was going to take care of me. I have Medicare and BCBS, she said if there was a remaining balance she would dismiss it. Well, guess what. I received a portion of the bill. I called to remind her and was informed she would not dismiss it. I would like to know what she plans to do with the irritation she has caused to my skin which I did not give permission to have treated. It was the strangest doctor visit I have ever encountered. By the way, I will not be paying the balance. We'll call it even for the suffering of the areas that were sprayed unexpectedly. I hope this doesn't have to go any further. I am still extremely confused by the entire experience.

    Dr. Agha is amazing! She helped me with my cystic acne problem and went above and beyond to ensure that I received the recommended treatment. I donā€™t know many doctors that will help the way she did and Iā€™m very grateful I found her. Very knowledgeable and friendly staff as well. I highly recommend this to friends and family.

    Dr Rania is wonderful. However her staff is TERRIBLE! That's why I will not be returning to her office even though I have been visiting her from 10 years! She needs to hire better people that have some manners. I have known her since last 10 years. I tried to resolve this matter today with her staff while I was there but got no where. The front desk girl is the worst!!!!! She has no skillet for this job nor peoples skills. I don't think office manager knows much either because they charged me $40 extra today for the same treatment I've been going to without any explanation and notice... when I questioned it, they were no help. I asked her what did I pay last time and they give me misinformation. When I checked my credit card bills, it doesn't line up to that they were saying. That's one issue, which might be just error, but see below more details. Additionally, they scheduled me for hair removal treatment when I have never gotten hair removal from them. Then they put me on hold for 30 mins when I call them. I guess I will be taking my business somewhere else!!! Until they don't reach out to me to apologize, I will not be returning to them. UPDATE -- Dr Rania and her staff called me to resolve this matter. That's why I'm revisiting this review and editing my rating to 3 stars. She would get 4.5 stars if the staff was better.

    Let me start off on a positive note: Dr. Agha herself is very friendly and easy to talk to. Her staff has always been very nice and friendly as well, so it eliminates some of the intimidation that doctorā€™s offices can give off. The interior of the office waiting room and patient rooms are very nice, and they even play music in the patients rooms. Iā€™ve been seeing Dr. Agha for just under a year, and at first her friendly nature and upbeat personality were really reassuring. Iā€™ve been having some eczema and other skin issues that seem to keep coming back. Weā€™ve mostly done a lot of topicals and some changes of products Iā€™m using since I started seeing her in January. I went back to her this month after my immunologist recommended me to see her again for my eczema. Her dermatology assistant came in and asked me some questions before Dr. Agha came in herself. We did the small talk thing of ā€œhow have you been?ā€ and such before she started explaining to me what the new plan of care would be. She prescribed me a topical that she told me point blank wouldnā€™t work. She told me that she was telling me now what to say when I came back for my follow-up and that Dupixent would be the new medication that was going to change my life. She also told me to go to her preferred pharmacy because she doesnā€™t want to deal with the pre-authorization from my insurance. She then walked out of the room and her assistant came back with paperwork to fill out for the Dupixent. The appointment itself took all of 15 minutes with Dr. Agha only coming in for about 5 minutes at the end. She never explained to me what Dupixent was and how it worked. I went home and started researching Dupixent only to find out that it is an drug that deals with the immune system. I decided to ask my immunologist to educate me on the matter because I had no idea what that meant. My immunologist educated me about what it is, and that itā€™s a drug type that thereā€™s no plan to really take you off of it in the future. It would also be an injection that I would have to get every 2 weeks to maintain. I was very disappointed because this was not any information that was given to me by Dr. Agha before just prescribing it to me. I think itā€™s really weird of a physician to tell someone that theyā€™re going to prescribe them something that she knows actively will not help the problem just to prescribe me something that will make me keep coming back without educating me on any of it. I was under the impression it was an oral medication, not an injection that can only be administered by a doctor. Her appointments are so quick to the point that they feel impersonal. Sheā€™s very quick to tell you to buy something, whether itā€™s medicine she compounds in house, products she sells in house, or medication without educating you on what these things are and what they do. I will not be coming back for medical reasons. I cannot speak for cosmetic services and therefore will not comment on those services.

    Dr Agha is the best dermatologist. She takes her time to listen to you and treats you like family. I have a history of skin cancer and Dr Agha has watched over me . She is an excellent Mohs surgeon. I saw my dentist last week and he was impressed on how well my face looked and said your surgeon did an excellent job. I also had treatments on my varicose veins and my legs look and feel great. Her staff is very friendly and greets you by name. I am so lucky to found Dr. Agha.

    I canā€™t thank Dr. Agha enough. My surgeon recommended I go see her and she was kind enough to meet with me the same day. She made me feel hopeful that my ongoing medical issue would finally be solved. With her help, Iā€™ve seen results Iā€™ve spent years trying to reach, tears of joy! She is attentive, personal, and so informative. I feel safe in her hands. I just wish I met her sooner!

    Dr. Agha is an excellent, knowledgeable, and experienced doctor who treats her patients like her own family. She did my varicose veins and now my legs feel great! I also see Dr. Agha for skin-related issues. Sheā€™s an excellent Mohs surgeon. I highly recommend Dr. Agha!

    I have always gotten great service from Dr. Agha over the years I have seen her. She is both personable and efficient, and is good at making people feel comfortable. She also goes above and beyond to make sure I get the results I want. I recommend!

  • 5/5 Ashley M. 1 year ago on Google
    This practice is terrific. Dr. Agha combines expertise and a willingness to listen and discuss. Sheā€™s also an excellent surgeon. I had a very rare skin cancer diagnosis (Amelanotic Melanoma) and without the help of Dr. Agha taking the time to do a mole check (I was there for cosmetic reasons) I may not be here today. Also, the staff is very friendly and professional. Iā€™ve never had to wait more than a few minutes when I arrive on time for an appointment. She is not only professional but has been a friend for personal concerns as well. Highly recommend this practice.

  • 5/5 Cheryl H. 1 year ago on Google
    The most caring, thorough and compassionate doctor I have ever met. I have a disabled adult son that Dr. Agha treats for his skin conditions. Dr. Agha is wonderful with him. She recently treated my skin cancer with Mohs Surgery. I am grateful for her quick actions removing it. The scar is fading nicely due to her careful sutures to ensure a great result. Myself and family see Dr. Agha and I highly recommend her practice.

    She is fantastic! She was not only beyond nice and knowledgeable with me but also with my mom. I highly recommend her and anybody who is Spanish speaker as well. The place is beautiful and the staff are so friendly!

    I never write reviews but after seeing my results, I just had to. I came into the clinic a few months ago because I was struggling with acne and tried literally every single over the counter acne product you could think of, which did not help me. One visit with Dr. Agha and she instantly knew my problem, gave me a few medications, and within weeks my acne began disappearing. I literally could not have had better results than this! Not exactly sure what the other reviews are going on about, but my experience with the doctor and staff was amazing, and my results were better than I could have hoped for. I still go for my monthly follow ups and I'm very happy with her work, she's a very well-informed doctor and she actually makes an effort to form a relationship with you instead of just quickly walking in and out of the room. I could not recommend her enough, she's amazing.

    Dr. Agha was so kind and heard my concerns and addressed them immediately! Her office was absolutely pristine and I will be a lifelong patient along with my mom and brother. We appreciate Dr Agha and her staff so much!

    As a medical student doing my final year rotations, I can say that Dr. Agha is committed to patientsā€™ health. She and her staff are always thriving to address all patient's concerns and needs. Furthermore, she's updated with the latest treatment and procedures available. Highly recommended!!

    I heard about Dr. Rania Agha through a family friend who recommended her. I decided to go for a lip filler consultation, not thinking I was going to proceed with it that same day, however, Dr. Agha seemed extremely knowledgable on what she does, so I actually decided to get my filler done within that same appointment. I am SO happy I did my filler with her! She explained to me everything she was doing and why she was doing it as she went along. My lips look AMAZING- I'm in love with them. Dr. Agha even gave me a free syringe because she wanted to finish the job and make it look perfect! Absolutely wonderful patient service! The other staff there were also very friendly which was great

    When you first walk in, the office seems so neat and clean, and you are greeted with kind staff members. Dr. Agha assesses the case in the best way and comes up with medical treatments asap. The staff members and the doctor herself have been more than kind to me during every visit and have helped with a lot. Most kind and cooperative doctor I have ever met. Definitely recommend this doctor 200% for all your cosmetic and skin related needs.
