Carolinas Skin Center

I have been a patient of Dr. Nowicky’s for 7 years. He is incredibly thorough and thoughtful in how he approaches each issue, I also appreciate that he doesn’t let me self diagnose and tells me when my opinion isn’t correct, which is most of the time. If you are looking for a doctor that is going to agree with you on everything instead of being logical and thorough, keep searching because you may perceive him as rude when he doesn’t validate your web md or google search diagnosis. Along with other skin issues that he is successfully treating me for, I have had skin cancer twice on my face in a very awkward spot. I’ve had to go to a separate skin cancer surgeon to get it removed and then Dr. Nowicky after for same day reconstructive surgery. This is why there may be rescheduling and shuffling of appointments since the other surgery could go longer or the other doctor has to reschedule. After having 6 reconstructive surgeries that were quite invasive on my face, I wouldn’t trust anyone else. He has done an AMAZING job! My husband and 2 young kids are also patients and he is great with them too. I rarely write reviews, but after reading the harsh words that people are saying, and being able to read between the lines, I felt compelled to speak up because most are not a good representation of this practice. Please take the bad reviews with a grain of salt, Dr. Nowicky is a wonderful doctor.

Something told me to read the reviews before I went to this office. And reading them now it made complete sense. Let’s start from the top. I walk in for my appointment and the white British lady asked for my name. After a minute she said “actually can you check him in” to the other sweet office girl. Super rude and dismissive. I tell the assistant what my issues are and she lets me know the doctor will be in. This man barely looked at me and did not even examine me. He literally stood on the other side of the room while he was talking to me. He spoke in a very rude and disrespectful manner. I tried to ask him questions about what I was concerned with. He didn’t seem to care and said we will monitor it. Wanted to put me on accurate for a few blackheads and irritated skin? I agreed with him I guess since he’s the Dr. After attempting to sign me up for some pledge for Accutane I found out my previous doctor signed me up but I never went through treatment. The way this man spoke to me about having to call and transfer my care to him I had to hold myself back. I had already done the transfer while I sat there and he didn’t even take the time to check. He left and said he wound check. In comes the nasty British lady again accusing me of already being in treatment and that I needed to call and transfer to which I told her I already did. And then she made sure she reiterated that they can’t treat me until I call them and transfer it. All while they are standing in the hallway WITH THE DOOR OPEN. She dismissively said I’ll walk you out and “once you get that transferred over we will schedule you another appointment” I know when I’m not wanted in a place and the reason why. As a person of color I can definitely say that I was not wanted in this office at all. Stay away from this office. I will never return to this awful practice.

Dr. Nowicky and his team are amazing! I've received the best, most professional and reliable care over the years. I don't feel rushed and my concerns are always patiently heard and addressed. Very thorough - which is seriously important to me to leave feeling confident, having gone through cancer twice. Highly recommend!! EDIT 2/23/26: I came on to check office hours, and happened to come across reviews that have me BAFFLED! Like we can't be talking about the same Doc and staff. They've all been so lovely, for YEARS! It's beyond me, how anyone could have had a negative experience. My best guess is that you get what you give, perhaps? They definitely care about their patients and go above and beyond!!

I can't say enough good things about Dr.Nowicky and his staff! I came in a few years ago with psoriasis, adult acne and a history of skin cancer. My acne has since cleared up, my psoriasis is now under control and I have a dermatologist I trust with twice yearly exams. Also, shout out to the front desk, who is always kind and accommodating, especially Felicity who is always willing to go above and beyond! Highly recommend

Felt rushed, some guessing, prescriptions sent. No recommendations on diet change or healthy alternatives to prevent flare up of what I THINK is eczema(don’t even think I got an official dx) Spent 15-20 minutes filling out paperwork including medical history, as well as showing pix of me and my daughters skin issues, only for the Dr. not to review any of it before hand. Felt like he didn’t want to touch me to look at my hands good. Not a good experience. I should have known when my initial appt was rescheduled twice on short notice. Then upon scheduling a recommended 6 week follow up, I was told that my secondary insurance will not be accepted starting September 1st. Why wouldn’t you tell me this when I scheduled the first appointment? Now I have to find another dermatologist that will accept both of my insurances, which I don’t mind after this experience. Edit: 8/27/2025 I received a letter informing me that they are excusing me from the practice AS IF I didn’t already state this in this review. This lets me know that they are reading the reviews and aren’t doing anything to be better! I thought it was comical. Please always check reviews before deciding on a medical practice, restaurant etc.
