Frontier Dermatology

Just like many other reviews, I wish I had done more research on this company. The management and providers seemed more concerned about profit than about providing quality patient care. The staff were very unprofessional and frequently gossiped about both colleagues and patients. Additionally, the health insurance benefits offered were expensive with minimal coverage.
During my time there, I witnessed several questionable practices. For example, a skin lesion specimen was taken from a sharps container after it was left on a surgical blade and tossed in. They submitted the specimen despite it sitting without formalin overnight, and there was ultimately no way to confirm that it belonged to the patient. Another example involved a provider instructing medical assistants to mix lidocaine and epinephrine, which is beyond their scope of practice. This resulted in a vial of lidocaine being labeled incorrectly, and three surgical excisions happened without any epinephrine, resulting in the patients having an excessive amount of blood loss and an increased risk of developing a hematoma. 
Plus, if you plan to work at the Port Angeles location, it is directly next to a trailer park and is a run-down building that they refuse to fix because they don't want to spend the money on it. 

I have had the privilege of working at Frontier Dermatology for the past year, and I can confidently say it has been an outstanding experience. The training programs are comprehensive and well-structured, ensuring that I am equipped with the knowledge and skills needed to excel in my role. Unlike many workplaces, Frontier has created an environment where accessibility to leadership and management is not just encouraged but prioritized. The open-door policy makes it easy for employees to communicate their ideas and concerns or seek guidance. The leadership team is genuinely invested in the success and well-being of every team member. More than just a workplace—it's a community that values individual growth, fosters career development and promotes a collaborative atmosphere.

I quite enjoy working for Frontier Dermatology! Management is professional, kind, and cultivates an environment where hard workers thrive, get noticed, and have opportunities for growth. Many of the recent negative reviews are from a single disgruntled and toxic employee and I hope others don't believe their negativity. 

I have been there almost 9 years now, and I would have left it was as terrible as some of the others have said it is. Don't believe everything you read! 

I've had great growth, have learned a lot and am always obtaining new skills. It's a fun specialty that provides great experience, and comes with some great perks! I have no intention on leaving anytime soon. 

I had an amazing experience, and only left because I relocated out of state. Management is VERY welcoming, helpful and maintains an open door policy. I can honestly say that this management team, is one of the best I've experienced! You're not micromanaged in your role, but management is present if you need anything. You're also supported by staff and providers. The culture here is wonderful, it felt like family. This job also came with awesome perks, including a discount on cosmetics, and education into both dermatology and aesthetics. Given the opportunity, I would love to continue working for this company. I highly recommend working here.

I have worked in many Dermatology environments--I think that Frontier does an amazing job of balancing all of the competing priorities that need to be met. Because Frontier is so spread out, it offers the resources of a large company, but the freedom and closeness of a smaller private practice. No company is perfect, but I have found that the staff and providers of Frontier, by and large, truly care about creating the most positive experience possible for patients and staff. Complaints are taken seriously and addressed. Frontier works hard to be competitive in the marketplace, knowing how easy it is to easily find another job in healthcare. I'm glad I joined over two years ago and look forward to being here a lot longer.

What is the best part of working at the company?
The only good thing about working for Frontier is they work from home. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Honestly there is none. No growth opportunities, poor management, hectic training, high turn over. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Favoritism, stressful, management is unorganized and not there to help. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Answering calls, taking breaks, no help with angry escalated customers.

Frontier Dermatology is growing and provides ample opportunities for those that work hard and seek advancement. It’s a really interesting specialty and I’m always learning something new. Management truly cares about their employees and the physicians consistently put patients first. There’s great perks too, with discounts on cosmetic treatments and top of the line skin care products. 

If you respect yourself and the work you contribute, you’d find somewhere else to work. There is absolutely no structure, pay was decent but 40 hours is not guaranteed(even tho they tell you it is), they give you hours based on the providers schedule, the staff of MAs are condescending and picky. If you look a certain way they will judge, management is very dismissive and hardly ever around, don’t care about their workers and are rude.

More than 17 dermatology practicioner jobs are available at Frontier derm and many more other various jobs.  There is very high management and staff turnover at the major hubs.  They are more interested in acquiring practices and growing and adding more dollars for the shareholders than they are in their existing people and infrastructure and patient care .

Workload is too much, wage is very low and new hires earn as much as you do if not more. There is no recognition for your hard work and no room for career growth unless your a favorite. They will add additional duties to your workload and then complain when they are not getting completed or to their standard. Staff to patient ratio is not efficient. If you attempt to discuss an issue/request with a higher up you are dismissed or shunned. The only great thing about this place are the doctors.
