Bajoghli Amir A, MD

My husband and I have been to this office here in Woodbridge many times. We are very pleased with the entire staff, and Janice and Dr. Bajohli. They are quick to identify cancerous lesions and treat appropriately. Just be prepared for long wait time, but that is only because they really take time with their patients. You can expect a highly skilled, compassionate and professional group of people.

This review is just for the appointment making process. Unfortunately I have a referral to this practice so I couldn’t just hang up and call someone else…
I called at 9:05am and when the phone was answered, someone said «Hold, please» then immediately put me on hold before I could reply. I am thinking… Nice 1^st impression but whatever…
Then I wait… on hold…
After FIFTEEN MINUTES on hold, I get my cell phone and without hanging up my home phone, I call again. A receptionist answers right away! I was so pissed! There I am on hold and they are taking care of anyone who is calling while I sit on hold. I tell her that I am on hold on my other line and have been for 15 minutes! She said. and I quote, «We have alot of lines. We are a very busy practice. What can I do for you?» NO APOLOGY! Are you serious? You have so many lines you don’t know to answer calls on hold? Puh-​leeeese.
I booked an appointment with Janice Rasmussen so I will let you know how THAT goes…
Just wish medical practices would realize that the reception is the 1^st impression patients get.
Terrible.

Took my mom to her appointment at his Stafford office. We sat there for almost an hour! When I went to check on what was the hold up, the receptionist tells me a procedure took longer than expected. No apology. Sat there for ten more minutes because she tells me the nurse will take a couple minutes to refresh an examining room. Still nothing. Never saw the doctor. My 80 year old, diabetic mother got tired of waiting. And I left there, no apology from his staff for his absence.

I saw Janice Rasmussen the Nurse Practitioner so my review is for her:
I recently had no luck with my previous dermatologist up in Reston VA. I then made a quick appointment with the Nurse Practitioner Janice Rasummsen at Bajoghli’s office in Woodbridge. She was personable and knowledgeable. I did not experience too long of a wait around 15 minutes. I would recommend making an appointment with her if you need a good practitioner that will give you more time and attention than most doctors in this area will.

During previous years, I had experiences similar to that described by Katie F. However, this is one of the few dermatology offices in Woodbridge so I was loathe to change. When I scheduled this summer’s appointment (for full body check and a specific concern), I was scheduled with Dr. Nelson. My wait for Dr. Nelson was short. She listened to my concerns (with full eye contact, unlike Dr. B). She also took a good 5 minutes for my full-​body check (unlike Dr. B’s typical 1 min check) and she used a UV light! She treated my concern on the spot and fully explained the procedure and side-​effects.
While Dr. B’s manner in horrible, I would strongly recommend Dr. Nelson… and that’s why I give this office 3 stars, instead of 1 for Dr. B.

After sitting in an exam room 40 minutes past my appointment time, he walked in looked at the concern I had on my arm said «its a blah blah fibroid blah blah, nothing to be concerned about, You don’t need to do anything to it» and then walked out. 25 dollar co-​pay down and all I have to say is that i am sure he spends more time on his botox patients rather than those who have skin cancer concerns
