Justin T Roscoe, MD in Baltimore: Medical Dermatology Without Long Wait Times
Justin T Roscoe, MD operates a dermatology practice focused on medical conditions—acne, rosacea, psoriasis, eczema, skin infections, and suspicious moles—rather than cosmetic procedures, and sees new patients within 2 to 3 weeks rather than months. His practice is located in Baltimore and treats both adults and pediatric patients, accepting most major insurance plans.
What the practice handles
Roscoe specializes in general medical dermatology. Common reasons patients come in: persistent acne unresponsive to over-the-counter treatments, rosacea management, fungal infections, atopic dermatitis, actinic keratosis surveillance, and evaluation of concerning skin growths or lesions. He performs in-office procedures including cryotherapy (freezing precancerous lesions and warts), biopsies sent to pathology, and prescription topical and oral treatments. He does not offer Botox, fillers, laser resurfacing, or chemical peels.
Appointment availability and insurance
New appointments typically open within 2 to 3 weeks. Roscoe accepts Aetna, BlueCross BlueShield (Maryland), Cigna, Medstar (which covers many employers in the Baltimore region), United, and most other commercial plans. Patients without insurance should confirm their out-of-pocket cost at the time of scheduling, as fees vary depending on the visit type and any procedures performed.
How it compares to other Baltimore dermatologists
Baltimore dermatology has a two-speed market. Large academic practices like the University of Maryland Dermatology Clinic and Johns Hopkins Dermatology may offer subspecialty depth (pediatric dermatology, mohs surgery, phototherapy) but often have wait times of 6 to 8 weeks for new patients. Cosmetic-focused practices prioritize Botox and filler clients and may schedule new medical patients only after a longer wait or not at all. Roscoe's combination of medical focus and short lead time attracts patients who need treatment quickly—someone with an inflamed fungal infection or a suspicious mole does not want to wait two months. His practice is suited for routine medical dermatology; patients requiring mohs surgery for skin cancer or specialized pediatric phototherapy should be referred to an academic center.
Who it suits and who it does not
This practice works well for adults with chronic skin conditions like rosacea or eczema, patients with acne resistant to standard antibiotics or benzoyl peroxide, and those with suspicious moles or precancerous lesions who need timely evaluation. It also serves pediatric patients with eczema, acne, or fungal infections. It does not suit patients seeking cosmetic enhancement or those needing subspecialty surgery. Patients expecting same-day walk-in care should look elsewhere; all appointments are scheduled in advance.
What the first visit entails
A new patient appointment typically lasts 20 to 30 minutes. Roscoe takes a skin history and examination, discusses any triggers, reviews current medications and prior treatments, and performs a skin check if the presenting concern allows. If a biopsy is needed, it is often performed that same visit; results return within 7 to 10 days. A prescription for topical or oral medication may be written before you leave, or a treatment plan discussed for follow-up.
Hours, location, and parking
The practice is located in Baltimore. Hours are generally Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., though office staff should confirm specific hours when scheduling. Parking details vary by location; confirm availability directly with the office to plan for your appointment.
Roscoe fills a clear gap in Baltimore's dermatology landscape: patients with real skin problems who need answers and treatment within weeks rather than months, without paying cosmetic prices or sitting in academic clinic queues.
