Dermatologists who are Physicians - Washington, NJ

"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 His reviews are outdated and this is my current experience. 1.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. Sciales isn’t just the best Dermatologist in northern NJ, he may very well be the best physician! He possesses all of the qualities that every physician should strive to attain. I can not say enough about my patient experience. Top Notch Physician."

"Terrible. Bedside manner was totally unacceptable. Treatment and evaluation was the strangest I've ever received from any other dermatologist. "It's nothing, don't worry about." Extremely itchy and constantly scratching. "If you wish, when they break loose, just cut off yourself." Even my PCP gave me something for the itch. Why did I bother."

"Dr. Alyssa Fox has been my doctor for 17 years. I am happy with the treatment I have received from her. Explanations are clear about my treatment. I find her to be professional and caring. I am very happy with the treatment I have been receiving over the years. As far as staff, I have seen turnover yes, but I have also been subjected to staff calling me and confirming my appointments incorrectly. But that seems to have subsided. I’m sure there is office protocols. I have NEVER been addressed rudely or brushed off. I recommend Dr. Fox to others as far as treatment goes. She has always been thorough with my care and I am secure nothing will be overlooked. "

"Dr. Geller & his staff are so kind & caring. He answers all your questions & spends his time making sure you are comfortable. I always feel great when I refer him to a friend or family member. "

"The only reason this place is still in business is it's the only game in town. The office staff is unprofessional and rude. The doctors are somewhat pleasant, but you can wait 1 1/2 - 2 hours in the waiting room and then wait another 30 in the exam room and no one cares. I even watched a friend of the staff go in before me because she had plans in NYC. I've been to a lot of doctor offices, but have never been so poorly treated that this place. Do yourself a favor and go ANYWHERE else. "
