Dermatologists who are Physicians - Oakhurst, NJ

"Was left waiting hours in waiting room. Front desk blamed the doctor, Dr blamed the front desk. Removed a cyst in my scalp. I questioned bump when removing stitches, he said it was nothing. Well ..It is something and getting big and painful. Guess he is too busy or in a rush to care. Yes, he gives you his personal cell number if you need him, but that is for acting like he cares"

"I have seen Dr Trusky about 5 times over the last couple of years, after first time I met her I knew something was off with her personality but I gave her the benefit. After my experience on 8/21/2018 I should have trusted my gut the first visit and found another Dr. My initial visit I waited more than an hour for her in waiting area and then another 30 minutes in a room. This 8/21/18 visit topped it all, I made an appointment to recheck a mark that had resurfaced after she had removed it in April (and neglected to provide results of the biopsy) and to ask about additional areas of concern as I was rushed last visit due to her lack of bed side manner in April 2018. This time she had me wait 1 hour in waiting area, and told me as a courtesy she saw me and that I was late, but what I received in service was anything but courteous. Dr became agitated as soon as I started asking about different moles, I was told she could only discuss 1 incidence with Aetna (new to me); she also charged me a new patient fee without explanation even though I was an existing patient. I said I made the appt to ensure I do not have skin cancer and that if necessary I would pay regardless of insurance. I mentioned that a mark she had froze was only half removed, she was rude to her medical assistant questioning whether she performed the initial service, she was dismissive and aloof, she did not listen to what I was asking and she kept telling me this was not an emergency. I never said it was an emergency, I took the day off to get screened and she said she could not deal with this today. After she walked out of room and left medical assistant perplexed I asked her to have a conversation with me, where she stated she was releasing me as a patient, and continued to repeat that this was not an emergency. I am still dismayed by her odd behavior. Dr Trusky needs to understand that patient is also a customer and my time is as valuable as hers. Anyone who conducts themselves so erratically, dismissive to patients, and only cares about insurance premium is obviously in the wrong profession. Staff has room for improvement when you over hear them talking about patients and then the Dr."

"My husband had a visit and my husband insisted on a skin biopsy which came back positive for melanoma. He went to NJ Cancer Center for a second opinion and a second melanoma was found they sent him back to Dr K for a biopsy which was positive his surgery was done at Sloan and he is still a high risk patient "

"I tried to call to schedule an appointment. The receptionist was mumbly and ineffectual. She told me that none of the doctors at this practice accepted Aetna and that if I wanted to make an appointment it would have to be with a practitioner and not a doctor. I told her that I was confused by her statement because Aetna showed multiple doctors listed in the directory that should accept insurance at the requested location and that I would be reaching out to Aetna to clarify. She then stated that the doctors accepted Aetna and asked me if I wanted to make an appointment. I asked her which doctor's would be available to which she replied none of the doctors were accepting new patients and I would be scheduled with a practitioner. She didn't seem helpful, attentive, or knowledgeable."

"Knife happy! His first option is to cut you up instead of discussing alternative forms of treatment."

"Dr. Quinn was very thorough in her examine. She took a skin sample but could find nothing conclusive on the skin surface. However the cream she prescribed cleared up my rash and stopped the itching. For the Cyst on my thigh she prescribed antibiotics that all but cleared up the cyst. On my follow-up visit she said no further treatments were needed at this time. I was advised to come back if it flared up again. She also prescribed more cream and for itching just in case it started back up again. Both the doctor and her nurse made me feel relaxed and like I was her only patient in the world. Something you would not expect from a young doctor. I strongly recommend her for anyone. "
