A spot that has changed shape is not something to put off, and the wait for a new-patient visit can feel long. The dermatologists in Lexington on this page hold 1,810 Google reviews between them, with ratings from 4.0 to 4.9, and the gap behind those numbers is mostly about scheduling, wait times and how much of the practice is medical versus cosmetic.
Short answer: Dermatology Consultants has the most Google reviews, 692 at 4.7 stars, and has served Kentucky patients since 1976 by its own account. Central Kentucky Dermatology (4.9, 496 reviews) and SkinMD (4.9, 260 reviews) rate higher on fewer reviews. Modern Dermatology of Kentucky sits at 4.0 across 362 reviews, with wait times and scheduling the main complaints. Fees vary by visit type and insurance, so ask each office for an estimate.

How the scores work
Every number on this page comes from public Google data on the date shown, not from opinion or payment. Rating is the live Google star average. Review volume is how many patients have rated the practice, ranked against other Lexington dermatologists. Confidence weighs the rating by that volume, so a 4.7 from nearly 700 people carries more weight than a 4.9 from a few hundred. Recency shows how recently patients are still leaving reviews. No business can pay to change these numbers.
What does a dermatologist cost in Lexington? (2026)
Dermatology fees depend on why you are going. A skin check, a biopsy, Mohs surgery and a cosmetic injection are billed very differently, medical visits often go through insurance, and cosmetic treatments usually do not. We don’t have sourced Lexington prices for these practices, so confirm which plans each one accepts and ask for an estimate of your out-of-pocket cost before treatment.
