Dr. Makhzoumi is very easy to talk to and on occasion joke around with. I feel like Dr. Makhzoumi has gone out of her way to ensure my experiencewith her and her team has been very good. I greatly appreciate her for doing so!

  • Dr. Makhzoumi is an exceptional physician. Her impressive professional knowledge and skill allow her to provide excellent medical advice and treatment. But what sets Dr. Makhzoumi apart is that she radiates warmth and empathy, making a dermatology appointment feel like a conversation with a trusted friend. I am grateful for her clinical expertise and her genuine care and kindness.

  • Dr m is so friendly and knowledgeable and offers explanations for whatever the treatment

  • Felt very secure with my Doctor and with my care and treatment decision and implementation

  • Dr. Mahkzoumi is #1 MOHS/Dermatologist! I left Anne Arundel Dermatology to be seen routinely by experts like Dr. Mahkzoumi. Due to my leaukemia, I tend to have more episodes of skin cancer, which Dr. Mahkzoumi has helped keep at bay by identifying early (e.g. In situ). She is a 5+ star medical professional.

  • They were great.

  • Dr. Z is AMAZING!! Despite her advanced degrees and specialty training in MOHS, she made me feel so comfortable and valued.

  • Dr Makhzoumi is an expert surgeon. A full body exam for skin cancer seems cursory

  • Would highly recommend.

  • I will certainly use this clinic and doctor again if I need MOHS surgery in the future.

  • Dr Makzoumi is kind, humorous and very skilled at her craft.

  • Excellent care!

  • All the staff here are courteous, both to patients and each other. That speaks volumes about their efficiency and caring.

  • Surgeon did not come back in to see me after excision of skin cancer

  • Seemed like a very quick cursory exam b/c less than 10 minutes.

  • She's the best!

  • Resident was very nice and caring. She was knowledgeable of the type of skin lesion I had. Dr. Mazumi was also very knowledgeable and nice. She was apologetic for lack of time she had. Although the skin lesion was benign, I was not provided with a treatment option to have it removed. Visit was rushed

  • Best doctor's visit I have ever had--even with the surgery

  • Graft decision was not discussed until it was well underway

  • Excellent empathy

  • Dr. Makhzoumi is the best!

  • Dr.Makzume was very cordial. I felt the honor to have met her since I work for a Dermatologist who refers the patients to her. She is an excellent surgeon. She made sure I was numb as she proceeded to remove my tumor. My actual surgery was about 20 mins . But I waited 40 minutes afterwards for the doctor and the nurse to return and release me. The nurse said that it was really busy.

  • Dr Makhzomi is a very considerate and professional doctor.I am so fortunate that I have her as my doctor .

  • She explained why a certain medicine was not useful for me.

  • Dr. Makhzoumi was outstanding.

  • She is very good and nice.

  • Horrible bedside manners, said very damaging hurtful things about me, belittled me, mad me cry and showed zero remorse for her hurtful behavior.

  • This appointment was rushed due to overbooking. I did get my concerns addressed and procedures done to remedy the concerns. However, previous visits to my dermatologist seemed more through and caring.

  • Everything went as well as told it would.

  • She was outstanding!!

  • Excellent

  • Dr. Makhzoumi is an exceptional individual and Dr. She showed concern, explained everything, operated swiftly and once lab results were back removed another piece of cancerous tissue. We discussed and she explained the option and decision on wound care, "if you were my father this is what I would recommend to him". I followed her recommendation.

  • Dr. Makhzoumi seems very pleasant and caring. I am a repeat customer and she remembers me and my history. We did discuss alternative courses of action and she proceeded with the one to which we'd both agreed. I really like her !

  • Dr Mac is wonderful. Only wish that I didn't have to see her so often

  • Both resident and supervisor explained and clarified. Both interactive and they make the patient feel like a person not an object.

  • All around excellent experience for me - from resident and the specialist

  • Dr. Z. Makhzoumi is always attentive, explained and listens.

  • I want to be fair. I will go back, but I had hoped for a different standard of care. The doctor visited, but it felt like for less than 60 secondsand with no communication other than introductions. I was disappointed overall and will defer my conclusion pending my followup visit.

  • Good explanation. Every step of procedure explained.

  • Dr. Makhzoumi is fantastic and I trust her with my care completely
