Surgical Dermatologist - New York, NY

"This is my experience with bringing my son to Dr. Goldberg's office. He is a first-time patient and I did extensive research on the Aetna website before meeting him. His reviews are outdated and this is my current experience. 1. My son had an appointment with Dr. Goldberg, and a young assistant offered that Dr. Goldberg is busy now and instead suggested that we see another doctor. I said NO and added that we would wait because I make an appointment with Dr, Goldberg after I do some research about him, not the substitute Doctor. 2. Dr. Goldberg did a visual screen from across a table. He did not even bother to exam up close my son's skin condition. 3. After a few minutes, Dr. Goldberg recommended using a "spray water" (NOT covered by the insurance) and a pad with medicine (covered by the insurance). He never explained what is in the recommended "spray water" or "medicine pads" that he prescribed. 4. We also made a follow-up appointment. The receptionist asked "do you want to buy the "spray water"? By this time, neither the doctor nor the receptionist explained what are the ingredients. When I replied that I don't know the size and the cost of the spray water, can I at least see it first, she made an impatient gesture and, then place the "spray water" on the table. It is a 2 oz bottle of "spray water", it cost me $31.99 and it is not covered by insurance. 5. After I walk out of the office, I feel like I just went to a retail store that sells spray water, and not seeing a doctor for medical care because the doctor never closely examined my son and never took the time to explain what the prescribed medicine consists of? He never asked if my son has any possible allergic interactions with other drugs that my son may be taking. I came to a dermatologist after consulting with my son's family doctor. After the visit, I felt like this doctor is really interested in performing cosmetic surgery with bigger profit, and does not care about my son's acne issues."

"Dr. Haberman is very knowledgeable about skin conditions and takes the time to understand how your skin conditions affect you, both physically and emotionally. Thank you Doc "

"Saw Jennifer Weiss at this practice via telehealth. She was helpful and office was mostly well-organized. "

"Dr. Nabatian is an amazing Dermatologist all around!! He has the best bedside manner, is kind, smart, thorough, and dynamic. I have been to him for so many things at this point. He has helped me get rid of my long standing acne and has helped my skin look flawless. He has help resolve my eczema, bumps behind my arms, hair loss on my head, and removed my atypical moles and melanoma with no scaring 3 months after it was done. I would highly recommend him to any patient and/or family member looking for a real, hands on, down to earth dermatologist! "

"I have been going to Dr Tzu for many years. She and her staff are wonderful. Dr Tzu has great bedside manner, is super thorough, and her front officr person, Amber, is great. As are her nurses. Highly recommended. "

"While the office staff in his Manhattan office were very friendly, he was awful. I had an appointment at noon, but did not see him until 2 pm and did not leave until after 4. I had some laser done on my arms. I had to call another doctor and request that another doctor examines it and take care of the damage he caused. I had some scarring on my arms, which was supposed to last one week, but it has been there for more than a month. Additionally, he kept attempting to get me to do my lip even though I was adamant that I did not want to do so. He was rude, late, and told me that I could return next week to do my lips. Awful experience, he was rude, and late, and I would not recommend this service."

"I was referred to Dr. Ratner by my local area dermatologist. I had basal cell carcinoma. Dr. Ratner did a surgical removal at the Mt Sinai Cancer Center in NYC. Everything went very smooth with no complications. Dr. Ratner explained everything and the the staff was very friendly .. made me feel comfortable even though the procedure was quite involved and could have been personally stressful. Followup visits were on schedule and went well too. I highly recommend Dr. Ratner"
