Dr. Linda P. Nims, MD - Vienna, Virginia

Yo Yole

Doctors' knowledge is outdated: she is not up to date about certain medications that can treat various skin conditions and instead likes to prescribe antibiotics.
Doctor is not thorough: skin check performed was rushed, incomplete. Certain areas of the body were not checked at all (like lower back)

I saw Dr. Nims and she was cold and didn't even touch my skin. She prescribed medications improperly did not warn about side effects. I will never return to see her.

Dr. Nims has been my mother’s dermatologist for over 30 years. She diagnosed mom with a very rare form of cancer of the sweat glands, Padgetts Disease, which was on her backside, where she’d never have noticed. Mom is now 89 and I accompany her to this office. Dr. Nims, who we saw as recently as 2 weeks ago, has always been thorough, caring and compassionate. Mom has what she calls ‘Cheap Irish skin’ and she regularly has minor cancers diagnosed and removed. We are confident in the care we receive.
In addition, recently, mom had a hypertensive crisis while there. She takes blood pressure meds and has ‘white coat syndrome’ where she always tests high at a doctors, but after taking her BP, in both arms, using 2 machines then manually, Dr. Redbord advised me it was time to call 911 (BP was 242/140 when they arrived). My dad died of a stroke at 49 so I was, indeed, stressed! Dr. Redbord and the entire staff were amazing during this crisis! They called 911, Dr Redbord spoke to mom’s internist, staff made copies of mom’s medication list for me and Dr Redbord quickly wrote up an event synopsis for me. I couldn’t have coped without their support. When we went back to make up the appointment we missed, mom got hugs from all the staff, which really put her at ease after such a stressful event. I am so grateful.
So, yes, I could always do with a shorter wait time, but frankly, these folks are well worth the wait! Their expertise is proven and their service and sincere caring are outstanding as well.

I've seen the criticisms of Dr. Nims ---- and can only conclude that some people are never satisfied. I've been seeing Dr. Nims since the 1970s, and cannot praise her medical skills too highly. In fact, she has caught some issues that, if they had not been corrected, could have been really dangerous to my good health. This is a fine doctor.

Apart from the long waiting time (45 minutes past my scheduled appointment), I can't fault this office. Everyone was very friendly and helpful. Dr Nims was very thorough and discussed all my worries during my full body skin check.

Ter Minator

Extremely unprofessional and worst of all she is unkind. Long wait, full of attitude, acts like she is doing her patients a favor.

Miss Hattie’s character from the Minions must be based on her!
