“I was made to feel comfortable the moment I walked in the door. The front desk was very courteous and assisted me with all of my inquiries, to include opening up a patient portal on my phone. Everything was bright and clean. My technician, Leslie took her time and answered my numerous questions. I think that I talked during my entire facial, that is how comfortable I was. I loved her music also. I've already scheduled another session. Distance wise, I do not live near this office; however, the travel time was worth it.”
“Cultura Dermatology & Plastic Surgery is the GREATEST of them all in the Washington, DC VA area. I know there are other similar services but let me TELL YOU about my WONDERFUL EXPERIENCE!!!!! I had my 1st appointment for complexion blending services on 6-24-26, and I received nothing but TOP NOTCH services from the time I walked into the door until exiting. The staff, ALL OF THEM, were super nice, helpful, friendly, professional and had shown TOP NOTCH customer service skills. Oh yeah let me not forget that it is CLEAN, Welcoming, and has that friendly atmosphere that is GENUINE. I was nervous at my first appointment but all of the staff that I spoke to and/or greeted me was VERY friendly and they all made me feel very comfortable. I like this place a LOT and am glad I made the decision to come ger serviced h ere. I've been to other places in the DC/MD area for dermatology services, but nothing COMPARES to CULTURA. Thank you, Dr. Battle and your entire staff, for having such PHENOMENAL and RESONABLY priced services. You guys are the BESTTTTTTTTTTTTT. If any potential customer is reading this post just know that Mrs. Vickie will not fib for no one and will tell the TRUTH. This PLACE is the BESTTTTTTT.”
“I quite literally cannot sing the praises of Cultura Dermatology & Plastic Surgery Center highly or enthusiastically enough — but for a practice this singularly special, I sure am going to try. I'm a repeat patient, having had two procedures at Cultura two years apart, and Dr. Kelly Bolden (renowned head of the plastic surgery center, double board certified) is quite simply the finest surgeon I could ever have hoped to find. The quality of her work is incredible, and her extraordinary warmth matches her extraordinary skill: patient with my every question, generous with follow-up, and genuinely enthusiastic about helping me take a big step I'd wanted — but hesitated — to take for myself for a very long time. Then there's managing director Hiba Bittar, who is sunshine personified. She delivers a patient experience that is second to none, full of the countless kindnesses that make you feel truly seen and cared for as a whole person, not just a number. And it doesn't stop with these two: every single member of the Cultura team has been wonderful, without exception. Two weeks after my second procedure, I suffered a sudden, nearly fatal emergency accident (completely unrelated to my procedure or my care at Cultura) that hospitalized me for an extended stay and significantly complicated my recovery. Dr. Bolden and her team of experts have been there with me every step of the way, That unwavering commitment to their work and their patients — even when life throws the unthinkable at you —is part of what makes Cultura a truly exceptional practice. Dr. Bolden helped me find a self-confidence in, and love of, my body that eluded me my whole life. She is the only plastic surgeon I will ever return to or recommend. I'll close as I began: I cannot recommend Dr. Bolden, Hiba, and the entire Cultura team highly or wholeheartedly enough. Trust them. You'll be so glad you did.”
“I’ve been a client for over 13 years. Sally ensure my facial hair and facial moles are completely removed. Leslie does my chemical peels and hydro facials. The customer service is always pleasant and professional. I’ve tried other places that are closer to my house. I prefer to travel two hours each way for the excellent service that I always receive. If you’re considering giving them a try, you won’t be disappointed.”
“I drove 45 minutes to my appointment, only to be told it had been canceled because I didn’t confirm. Staff should verify contact information when appointments are scheduled and clearly communicate any confirmation requirements. What made the experience even more frustrating was being told the next available appointment was two hours after my original time. After already making a 45-minute drive, what exactly was I expected to do for two hours? This was extremely inconsiderate of my time. If confirmation is required to keep an appointment, that policy should be clearly communicated, and patients should be notified before making the trip. Offering an appointment two hours later was not a reasonable solution. I hope management takes this feedback seriously and improves its communication and scheduling practices so other patients don’t have to experience the same unnecessary frustration.”
