Please recommend good Rosacea specialist

Hello,
I have been diagnosed with Rosacea. I have moderate red flare and P&P on my cheeks.
I have been prescribed Metro gel and Tetracycline by my physician.
They did help a bit but the redness or P&P doesn't completely go away.
My physician referred a Dermatologist to me. I wasn't completely pleased with her.
She seems more into botox, cosmetic surgeries etc..
Do you know of any good rosacea specialist in and around D.C Metro area.
Did anyone of you have been treated with these specialists ?

Tried searching on this forum and net but couldn't find any reviews.
Thanks in advance.

Welcome K.
It can be tricky to find a good dermatologist with the added advantage of being close to home. Would you be prepared to travel if need be? I know some people recommended an IPL provider in NY but I think it mentioned a Derm as well. I'm in a bit of a rush to attend a meeting so please forgive me for not checking out the thread myself.

I'm way over here in California, but maybe this link will help?

Thank you Lisa and Cathy. Probably I can travel far to get hold of a good Rosacea specialist.
However, it would be nice to find someone who is close by especially if some of our board members have experience with them.
I feel most of the doctors I've visited, are mainly after money. They rush things up and don't even care the emotional stress we are going through.
I would like to visit someone who has in depth knowledge of Rosacea and the current research that's being done on it.

Anyways, I would really appreciate if anyone who recommend rosacea specialist around D.C area.
