COVID-19 Update

As restrictions are gradually lifted, we are pleased to offer in-office appointments once again. As a health care facility there are a number of government requirements we must follow, and we ask for your cooperation with the following procedures:

All patients and visitors are required to wear a mask. (Homemade and cloth masks are acceptable).
In order to allow social distancing, please come alone to your appointment or have any companions wait in your vehicle. If the scheduled patient requires medical assistance or is a minor, we will permit one individual to accompany them (must also wear a mask).
If you have cough, fever or chills, difficulty breathing, flu-like symptoms, new loss of smell or taste, diarrhea, suspected or confirmed diagnosis of COVID in last 2 weeks, or close contact with someone with these symptoms, please do not come to your appointment – call our office and we would be happy to reschedule your appointment.
Please remain in your car until 5 minutes prior to your appointment, then make your way to our front desk to check in for your appointment.

The health and safety of our patients and staff remain our top priority. We appreciate your patience and understanding during this time. We look forward to seeing you!

Patient Reviews & Testimonials

1st time appointment was handled in a timely manner. Dr. Thompson was excellent and very thorough in my exam. My questions were answered very professionally. Was very impressed.

I have 3 young children & have therefore been to many doctor's offices. I have never experienced such thorough yet speedy & friendly care. Our doctor/PA took time to answer questions, make my child who is quite shy feel at ease and answer questions, and even explained things to us. All of this while we didn't have to wait long in the waiting room (less than 5 minutes) or in the patient room (again, less than 5 minutes). The nurse took time to make my child feel at ease with treatments he'll need and even gave him the samples in his own bag rather than just talking to me. This goes a long way in making sure my child won't be afraid of treatment or the doctors. The checkout clerks were equally friendly and thorough. Staff was wonderful - love this place!

If you are looking for dermatology care look no further! I've been a patient with Dr. John Buker and his staff at Bluegrass Dermatology for 9 years and have had the best of care. By the way, I travel over 2 hours one way for his services. Enough said!!!
Stan E
My experience here has been wonderful. Everyone here was so sweet and kind. Although, they are very professional they were still so kind hearted. I brought my son here first, and when I seen how they treated him, I came. I traveled 186 miles one way, and I would do it all over again. My family and I will continue to come here. They were PHENOMENAL!!!!
Madonna S
The entire time from checking in to checking out was a positive experience. I was treated with respect and consideration. My healthcare provider is great! She is thorough and has a friendly personality that made me feel comfortable. Everyone offered an excellent example of customer/patient service.
Janice B
The staff is very professional as well as friendly and personable. Additionally, the facility is clean and nicely decorated.
Marcia R
This may very well be the most efficiently run clinic I’ve ever visited. I just had my 3rd visit there and it was another perfect experience. I’ll continue to recommend Bluegrass Dermatology to my family and friends.
Rhonda D
Great care by both the clinical assistant and the nurse practitioner. This is an excellently managed practice. They take the time to listen and respond to all my questions and concerns, and give answers, explanations, and instructions that are easy to understand. They are friendly, compassionate, and extremely knowledgeable. I would, and have for years recommended Bluegrass Dermatology to family and friends; they provide the highest quality of care, with excellent providers, in a classy, relaxing setting. From check-in to check-out, Bluegrass Dermatology is the best in Central Kentucky.
Steven P
What a wonderful experience! I was nervous about having spots checked out, and knowing they'd have to be removed. Everyone, from the moment I walked in, made me feel at easy. When Sheri was working on me, she kept me distracted and talking and it was over before I knew it.
I am always glad to see Krista she is the kindest person. She is always interested in your health and devoted to giving you the best care possible.
Mary S
Krista and her nurse that help her with me yesterday are great, and I will refer them to anyone. Everyone there is great, and smiling, friendly, and nicely dressed. The new receptionist that checked me in yesterday, did a good job,and knew what she was doing. I'm glad I chose you all to help me.
David T
Dr Black is a superior Dermatologist!
John P
This was my first visit to Dr. Roth at Bluegrass Dermatology and I loved it there. She was very thorough and asked questions about my years of taking care of my skin. Her assistant was great! Very friendly and comforting!
Lorrina W
I have been seeing Dr. Black for years now. She has also cared for my elderly father and young son when both were dealing with skin cancer or potential skin cancer. Her true concern for each patient, comforting words and attention to detail and care will continue to bring our family back. Whether dealing with very serious health concerns or concerns that might be considered vanity, we have been well satisfied with our care! I have and will continue to recommended Bluegrass Dermatology to friends and family.
Chelle C
My experiences with Bluegrass Dermatology have been positive and I would rate them a five out of five. More specifically Dr. Buker has been pleasant, and helpful. The staff has been pleasant and helpful and the office has been clean and bright. The care has been timely and appropriate.
Thomas W
Bluegrass Dermatology is the absolute best! I got called in right on time and the doctor came to see me right away. I'm used to waiting forever and sitting in the exam room forever, but they were so fast! And Chelsea and Dr. Black were the absolute best! They were so sweet and they took my concerns seriously.
Aya A
Everyone at Bluegrass Dermatology is always so helpful and pleasant. Usually, there is very little wait time, even if you are in for a procedure. I would highly recommend this office to anyone needing dermatology and related services.
Donnie R
Over all very good experience! Very informative doctor and super nice staff! They were very accommodating to my four month old. (He was the patient). Wait time was minimal. Staff was knowledgeable and friendly. Definitely recommend!
Kelley B
Dr. John Buker and staff are awesome. Kind friendly and so interested in the patients well being, I recommend them highly.
John W
Nothing but good to say about this place. Thank you for your service, your patience, your attitude, just overall pleasant experience. Wasn't planning on getting a new nose, but Sun cancer happens. So glad to be referred to Bluegrass Dermatology, would recommend this place highly.
Lynn F
I was beyond impressed with Dr. Black’s knowledge and passion for acne treatment. She made sure to take time to explain her treatment plan in detail and didn’t rush through the appointment. I’ve seen several dermatologist in 2 states and she is by far the best I’ve encountered. I’m finally optimistic about my skin turning around!
Kristen M
What can I say… I love this office and staff! I wish I could see them for all my health care needs. Dr. Black is very kind, companionate, listens to patient concerns, and very thorough. Dr. J. Buker performed my Mohs surgery several years ago, and the results cosmetically were/are amazing! I’ve never left this office feeling anxious or upset from the unknown, or unnecessary comments made to an already nervous patient, as I have other medical offices in Lexington. Very compassionate & professional.
Christy C
I have been a patient of Dr. Roth's for years and Bluegrass Dermatology physicians and staff have consistently been so helpful and awesome!

Gregory B.
