Rachel E Careccia

I have been going to Florida Medical for a little over one year. My husband also has been seen by Dr. Careccia for treatment for skin cancer. Dr. Careccia also did minor surgery to remove a cancerous growth on my back and I can honestly say I experienced no pain or discomfort after the surgery and I can barely see a scar. However, most of my appointments have been with Heather Leto and I am so grateful that my husband referred me to them. I have had some facial treatments done by Heather and she is outstanding. The first time I met her and spoke with her, I knew I had finally found someone who is dedicated to her work, extremely informative and an expert at what she does. I have recommended all my friends and family to this dermatology clinic. They are fantastic.

I met Dr. Carrechia years ago when my youngest was in elementary school and he's now 25! She has treated all my family and has so with kindness, grace and excellence. She was great with my young son who was an extremely difficult patient. I knew when she was able to care for him, she was simply amazing! Dr. Rachel is #1 in my book!!!!

I am so satisfied with the care given by Heather Leto. You and your office are and will be the dermatologists that I will continue to use. Simply the best!

hello.You did some biopsies on me a a month or 2 ago.My birthday is July 20,1954.Please send me my biopsy results to me by email.I am out of the country

Feb. 9, 2022: I have been seeing Dr. Careccia for many years now. Also, her assistant Heather Leto. I LOVE these women. They are the absolute best in Dermatology. They are so thorough and clearly explain everything you may need to do. Don't know what else to say ... they are the BEST, BEST, BEST.

The whole team is wonderful! Heather Leto’s treatment plan for me has completely transformed my skin, and Karlie’s aesthetician services have taken everything to the next level. Everyone is friendly, professional, knowledgeable, and make me feel like everyone is happy to work there and to be helping me be more confident in my own skin. The facilities are always clean and comfortable. I can’t recommend them enough!

Doctor Carrcca has been my Dermintoligst for over 6 years. During all visit the doctor's her staff to be very professional during all of my visits. The doctor and her staff are a very caring group of medical professionals who put me and my welfare first. The Doctor on 3 separate visits found after biopsies that needed further attention. All had positive outcomes. Doctor Carecca is a credit to her profession in the medical community. Doctor Carrcca has been my Dermintoligst for over 6 years.

Dr. Careccia is terrific. Staff is outstanding in particular Heather who really helped make changes for the better to my skin.

Dr. Careccia is fantastic along with PA Heather. Both are professional, provide great customer service and have a strong "bedside manner".

Dr. Careccia is incredibly thorough, kind and professional. She answers any question you may have and REALLY knows her stuff.

The staff - receptionist, assistant and Dr. Careccia we’re very thorough and professional. They were also very personable and welcoming. Dr. Careccia takes her time with you during the exam, explains her observations and answers questions easily. The entire visit was very thorough, educational and helpful.

What a kind and understand doctor. She is just great.

Professional, thorough, informative, and very caring!....in fact, the entire staff are phenomenal and skilled....what's not to like!!!

Very friendly office with great customer service. Highly recommend!

The appointment was thorough but quick ( on my lunch break). All questions answered. Rachel and Amber were excellent!

First visit for the hair loss issue. Doctor Careccia was very helpful and informative. Staff Laura is very nice as well.

I want to give a big shout out to Heather Leto! She is so caring and has taken great care of me the last few years. I've had a few spots that needed to be tested and it was a breeze.

I actually saw Heather Leto she was really nice and took her time explaining everything to me that i was at my visit for. And Brianna was awesome too she was very nice and made sure i was comfortable the whole time i was there

My first office visit with Dr. Careccia was a wonderful experience. Dr. Careccia and her staff made this a very comfortable and pleasant visit. Everything was explained in detail and my concerns were all addressed. The office is run very efficiently, and I highly recommend Dr. Careccia and her staff for excellent care.

The whole practice is A+. I have lived in many states. The whole team is amazing. Dr. Careccia takes care of my overall skin health - detailed! Brenda and Heather take care of my aesthetic needs. I almost live there. Seriously the best! Kelly

Both my husband and I see Dr. Careccia and couldn’t be happier! We tried a couple of other dermotologist before finding her, and are so glad we kept looking! She takes the time to explain things, and doesn’t make you feel rushed! Highly recommended!

Dr. Careccia's professional experience shown through expertly. She exemplified a sound knowledge of medical diagnosis and recomendation of medication prescribed. She easily makes the patient feel he/she has made the right choice in her as dermotologist.

Dr. Careccia, Heather Leto (nurse practitioner), and Brianna (MA) are so through and knowledgeable. I always leave with questions answered and reassured in my treatment plan. I truly feel they have my best interest in mind and educate me along the way.

Dr Careccia is very knowledgeable , personable, and a true professional.

This was my first time here and let me tell you the experience was AMAZING! Keely was the first person I got to meet. She was a doll! Very sweet! She’s a wonderful first impression to your office. I then had the pleasure of meeting Brianna. She was extremely educating and made me feel extremely comfortable. Mrs. Heather was AWESOME! She knew right away what was going on with me and relieved me of all my worries. I look forward to coming back for my follow up in 3-4 months! I definitely RECOMMEND!!!

My wife and I have been going to Dr. Careccia for over a decade and wouldn't go to anyone else. Recently we had an emergency and Heather Leto, NP who works with Dr. Careccia was able to see us - she provides just as great care along with her A+ Medical Assistant Briana. You are in good hands no matter which professional you see.

I met with Keely who was absolutely delightful and from there my time spent went from wonderful to amazing. Brianna brought me to my room and prepared me for my visit with Heather. Heather was just as pleasant as the rest. I am very impressed with this location, will highly recommend them, and look forward to follow-up visits!

Love this practice! Heather Leto is awesome and always takes good care of me while taking her time with examinations and explanations.

I have had nothing but wonderful experiences at the practice of Dr. Careccia. I’ve been a patient for almost four years. The Doctor, the Nurse Practitioner, Heather Leto and the Medical Assistant, Brianna along with the front office staff have all been very professional, yet personable, courteous and friendly. The treatments that they have suggested have been well thought out and highly effective. My confidence in their abilities has extended to bringing my teenage son to this practice for treatment.

Regularly scheduled six month exam to look for any skin problems including any signs of cancerous growths. Follow up on previous surgery.

Dr. Carrechia was fast, caring and careful. She did a very thorough skin check.

Skin check and follow up appointment

Dr. Careccia's staff has treated three members of our family, including my 100 year old mother-in-law. We are very grateful for their skilled, thorough, patient diagnosis and treatment of our skin ailments. Heather Leto, in particular, exhibits such high level nursing experience and is a great mentor for her medical assistant, Brianna. We will miss Brianna, as she heads off to medical school. Our family is pleased to recommend Dr. Careccia's dermatology office to anyone with skin concerns.

I've been a patient for a few yrs and recommend her highly. Some of the best doctors are not the best in bedside manners especially on a busy day. I was prompted to include in my review a reply to a one star review by a person who had a whole body examine for melanoma. Complaining of the doctor starting with the feet and working upward being possibly not hygienic, that may seem unconventional, but I have gotten it done the other way around by another doc who forgot to finish the rest of my body! I have this to say: Did you go to this appointment with unclean feet or other parts of your body? If you wore flip flops after a few hours of running around and then went to the appointment I would say shame on you! Any doctor appointment expects you to have the courtesy and sense to be freshly bathed without perfumes or makeup in some instances, in order for the doctor to be able to judge your condition without those things interfering. And if you were, then you had nothing to worry about.

Heather, Dr. Careccia’s nurse, examined lesions prior to removal and determined they were benign. Brianna, Heather’s assistant, also performed extremely well with pre- examine questioning and post-treatment procedures and information.

Dr Carreccia is a true professional. This doctor's mission is to ensure that you stay healthy. Dr C. is always on the lookout for your best health and well being. She tells it like its is, honest but understanding and with good advice, guidance and support for your long term health. Dr C is very through, doesn't t miss anything, which probably will save your life at some point!. Her staff is friendly and efficient, they don t miss a beat. I highly recommend this doctor for all your needs in this area.

Fantastic experience. Checked in online prior and walked right in exactly at appointment time. Saw Heather Leto and can't say enough nice things about her and overall professionalism. Recommend office to anyone 100%.

Dr. Careccia is extremely caring and thorough, as is her staff. She has been very helpful to me in managing my various skin conditions as well as skin cancers.

Dr. Careccia was professional and very thorough in her explanation of a melanoma lesion on my upper back. When she removed the lesion my anxiety was lessened due to her caring and friendly attitude. She is very skilled in surgical procedures as demonstrated by the small and unnoticeable scar. I highly recommend her.

I went in for a black legion on my genital area that looked like cancer from all the info I gathered on the internet(rapid growth, a large size, uneven borders, uneven colors). Dr Rachel Careccia looked at it and told me she thought it was a mole and that I shouldn't worry about it, or to watch to see if it grows in 2-3 months. I told her I have been watching it for a year, its been growing rapidly, and I just want it removed. She said ok she couldn't remove it at that moment and I would have to come back another time, and pay another fee to get it removed and biopsied. When she gets the results in...surprise surprise its squamous cell carcinoma, and she calls me back to come in immediately rushed in priority before other patients, just to tell me treatment options which she could have told me over the phone, but instead wants to tell me in person so she can charge me another $250.....This doctor has skin cancer as her specialty in her bio. That sounds like MALPRACTICE to me if she specializes in skin cancer and tells you to not worry about a cancerous legion, that its just a mole. I have went to other dermatologist that say: if in doubt cut it out, not her though. I also have some skin discoloration on my feet/lower legs, which she didn't know what it was and had to take pictures of it. I went to a well reviewed mohs doctor after this, she knew exactly what it was on my feet without having to google it. Don't go here unless you want to be told your cancerous legion is just a mole, and get charged for multiple visits for something that should have been handled in one visit. Worst "so called doctor" I've ever seen! Its sad when a patient knows more about skin cancer than a doctor that specializes in it, just from doing research on the internet.

Both doctor and staff are great!

Listens to my problem, frankly solved a skin problem 2 other dermatologists could not solve. Appointments very punctual.

I saw Dr. Careccia 3 days ago and 1 of my symptoms is 100% better. Thank you!

It’s always great here. All staff are very professional. Facility is spotless and Dr. Careccia is Amazing.

I am very pleased with Doctor Careccia and her staff.....their professional approach, the time they take to discuss any questions and provide information in addition to expert care. I trust and have found effective the treatments she has recommended and performed.

My wife and I both visit Dr Careccia and have for years; she and her staff are extremely competent and caring. She has solved issues others couldn’t and her bedside manner is professional and caring - 5 star!!

Dr. Careccia is one of the best dermatologist I have been to. I was diagnosed with melanoma a week before I moved to Florida in 2015. I started coming to her about 6 months after I moved here. With her any new lesion on me she takes it off. Even if to her it looks benign, since my history of melanoma, it comes off. She takes no chances. I also learned that she is a dermatopathologist meaning not only does she look at skin daily, she looks at pathology slides of skin cancers, rashes, ect. That makes me trust her even more knowing that she knows what she is looking for. Her entire staff is great! Always so friendly when I go in. I highly recommend her to anyone who wants a friendly. caring, compassionate doctor! Dr. Careccia is one of the best dermatologist I have been to.

Dr Careccia office is prompt, her office staff is great. Dr Careccia goes out of her way to explain the procedures she performs, she explains the aftercare instructions you need to follow. I highly recommend her for any new patient in need of a Dermatologist.

My Daughter and myself are both patients there at the clinic. I highly recommend her! Dr. Careccia is a very personable and caring physician, with a wealth of Derm knowledge. My daughter has a hair loss issue and Dr. Careccia is helping regain hair growth!! Love her Staff too!! :)

I have used Dr. Careccia for several years now. With a family history of skin issues, she sees me at regular intervals for an exam. Recently, I detected a suspicious place. When I called in, they give me an immediate appointment and saw me the next day. It can't get any better, in my opinion. She and her staff are caring professionals. I highly recommend her.

Dr. Careccia treated me for the past year. I was very satisfied with her attention to detail and explaining everything to me is a manner that I could understand. She was always timely and asked me a lot of questions, and took the time to make sure that I was in good health. I am happy that she was assigned to my case.

If Dr. Careccia performs a full body dermatology exam on you, be sure to tell her face first, then feet! NOT the other way around, as was done to me. After handling my toes and feet, she put her hands all over my face to check for abnormalities. One only wonders if she bothered to wash her hands before seeing the next patient. This woman is not a practitioner of patient-centered care.

I. Love. Dr. Carechia. ???? both my daughter and I are patients at her Carrollwood office. She is rather difficult to get into as a new patient but it’s well worth the wait- once established as a patient then it’s not as difficult to schedule an appointment. We have followed her recommendations and have seen such a major difference in my adult blemishes and my little one’s eczema. My daughter would be up all night long scratching and clawing at her skin with any eczema flares and now it is well managed thanks to Dr. C. I highly recommend her for any age and skin type. Her office staff is also very thorough and friendly. PS- prior to being a patient here we were at another dermatology practice for months and to no avail had no results...So second time (and last time) was the charm for us! I. Love.

Dr. Careccia is a wonderful doctor. As with most doctors these days, a visit begins with an assistant asking questions and taking notes before the doctor sees you. Only, when Dr Carrecia comes in, she has obviously reviewed the notes, and any lab work and is well aware of the situation, not requiring another bout of 60 questions. She is warm, friendly, caring and obviously very intelligent. She puts one at ease immediately and gets right to the heart of the matter. She exudes a sense of confidence which makes the patient more confident. A truly great professional. Dr. Careccia is a wonderful doctor.

Dr has staff make all calls RE biopsy results even positive cancer diagnosis. Does not discuss diagnosis, treatment or prognosis. Had non medically trained staff handle everything which is basically to set up procedure appointment. Would put all zeros if I could. Recommend go elsewhere

My daughter went to see Dr. Careccia and she was wonderful. She identified 3 different skin issues she had and treated them accordingly. She was great with my daughter and very thorough. The wait time wasn't long either which is big plus for us.

For my total body exam, I took in a list of about 20 areas of concern. Dr. Careccia said that she has a specific routine of doing an exam so that she doesn't "miss anything." In addition to her specific routine, she addressed each area about which I was concerned. None of the areas that I asked about looked worrisome to her. However, due to her specific routine exam she noted a precancerous lesion that I had never noticed! Also, she does an antiseptic cleaning of the exam table between patients!

Dr. Careccia is wonderful! I was seen exactly on time for my appointment. She gave me excellent advice and options, and her staff was extremely attentive and accommodating. I didn't think my insurance would cover my medication, but her tech looked up a local pharmacy and verified my insurance would cover it AND printed a coupon. I had an excellent experience and I look forward to continuing my care with her.

She is very friendly, interacts well with patients, and is knowledgable and very thorough.

Dr. Careccia is wonderful! I always appreciate her thoroughness - and how she makes it easy for me to understand the "science" of what she's recommending for treatment of both me and my kids. Highly recommended!

Highly recommend -- I went to a few other local dermatologists in the area and was disappointed with the quality of care. Dr Careccia did a much thorough exam than others, and I feel very confident in her diagnosis. I plan to have the rest of my family see her.

I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS DOCTOR. Diagnosis incorrect because Diagnosis not correlated with clinical facts . Apparently doctor perfers to make assumption. For me this resulted in antibiotics being unnecessarily prescribed. Refused to do a biopsy to correctly diagnose condition . Waste of money,Waste of time . RUDE

Very caring,.... Terrific listener .... Great touch Had Dr. Careccia preform a removal of some skin cancer located on my back... The Doc and her staff were extremely professional in the way they handled the whole procedure. Well done ladies

My experience with Dr. Careccia and her staff has always been great! I believe that with my issue, she was the most thorough with the process of evaluating my condition to ensure the best possible result and with subsequent monitoring has kept me in a normal lifestyle. I highly recommend her!

If there was a star that I could not highlight I would. There is a 30$ copay and all she does is tell you what you already know---actually she did not tell me anything.. she had a nurse assistant tell me everything. In the middle of my question she straight out walked up and left....like seriously so rude. This is a person's face we are talking about..for you to disregard it like nothing is very rude and very unrelatable for a doctor. There are many other dermatologists in Tampa. Save your copay

I visited Dr. Careccia for my acne. She told me I would see a change in 4 weeks . Well it's been over 6 weeks and my acne has worsened . I went to a new dematologist that told me that what Dr. Careccia gave me would not of made a big impact on my acne , and only would worsen over time. What I really need was an antibiotic pill , which I was not given . So now I am 6 weeks in the wrong direction. Also , when I would see her , she acted like she had no time for my questions and wasn't sympathetic

Without a doubt, Fantastic
