Dr. Vicki Rapaport's Online Review Report Card

Just got my new favorite products! So excited to start using them and watch my skin glow!Thank you, Rapaport Dermatology!

I have suffered from topical steroid withdrawal, also known as red skin syndrome for about 2.5 years. My experience with dr Marvin has been short, about 4-5 appointments but I can say that i am 95% healed. In regards to one of the reviews saying he has an attitude, yes I can agree on that, especially with my first appointment. He seemed demeaning the first time I met him, but after a few appointments I can see he truly cared. I was and still am seeing a naturopath during the time which I can say had also contributed to my healing, but dr rapapport held my hand during this tough and traumatizing journey. I even cried and he hugged me telling me I'll be alright. He provided the medication I needed, and always reassured me that i was on my way to healing.I am sorry for anyone going through TSW, it is hell but I can reassure you my healing went uphill after seeing dr rapapport.

The doctors are great. The billing Department. That needs much work.I went there back in June. They removed something from my stomach to get it tested and looked at by a lab.The Lab, Affiliated Pathologists Medical Group, Billed me $40 after the Insurance made a payment and adjustment. I paid their bill.Then I get a bill in the Mail from Rapaport Dermatology. It was for the same exact thing, TISSUE EXAM BY PATHOLOGIST. Except this was for $60.71.I call the billing department at RAPAPORT and go through everything with them. And I am told "It is for the Doctor". To which I said "HUH?". The bill is for the same thing.I also explained that I pay the doctor in full when I get to the office as you all do not take my insurance but clearly the lab did.They then tell me I would need to call my insurance to have them explain. To which I said "you do not take my insurance". I have the receipt from when I was at the office, I have the lab payment receipts. So what is your bill for exactly?To which she said "Are you refusing to pay the bill?". I was stunned at the comment. I told her "This is clearly double billing".She told me "I already explained it to you and you will need to call your insurance".I called my Insurance. They saw all the bills and said "Rapaport" turned in the bill and they did not pay because they had already paid the LAB. The insurance company said this was clearly double billing and turned it over to anther department to deal with it.Honestly I am sadden by what has transpired because I like the doctors. But the billing was frustrating, double talk and ridiculous on every level. They simply refused to look, explain or even attempt to come up with a single piece of logic of why I was being billed twice for the same thing.The attitude from the billing person was more of "look dummy pizzzz off and pay the bill we owe you nothing"....Side Note: The billing code on each bill is exactly the same.

I went in for a simple mole removal. Everything went well until they left 6 stitches in my back. I had to go to serval other doctors to clean up the mess they made. My scar healed with stitches still in my back that almost got inflected. They can't count how many stitches they put it and how many they took out. Please save your self and go somewhere else. It's a very nice office with nice staff. I'm complaining from a purely medical standpoint because they did not operate on my body properly. If you are looking for the best medical experience. I do not recommend.

SHAME ON YOU DR. MARVIN RAPAPORT!THIS MAN IS A MONSTER!I took my sister to see Dr. Marvin Rapaport after seeing an interview he did on Red Skin Syndrome (AKA: Topical Steroid Withdrawal).My sister had given up hope that any doctor / dermatologist could help her, But then I found that video of Dr. Marvin Rapaport talking to a women who had the same problem as my sister. I can't tell you how excited I was that someone was talking about this disease I told my sister we had to try one more doctor and she agreed to go.Now let me be clear my sister doesn't have a small problem she has a HUGE problem with her skin. I have spent so many months hearing her scream in pain, months of seeing her unable to get out of bed, months of her skin flaking, stinging, and itching from head to toe. 99% of her body is covered in this rash that leaves her with the feeling of a million papercuts and electric shocks from head to toe. When we arrived for the first appointment, we were shocked to see cards and photos from patients Dr. Marvin Rapaport had help. Finally I thought we found someone who could help my sister. He walked in and we were crying with joy that we had finally found someone who would help and acknowledge that the medical system had failed my sister.If only I would have known that Dr. Marvin Rapaport would be the worst, most vile doctor of the hundred we have seen.All seemed to be going ok at first, he acted like he cared and got her on medication that did help her symptoms. The only problem we seemed to have is that when she would go to follow up appointment and explain what changes and problems she was experiencing he would shout at her with the response "I know!!! I know!! I know what problems you have I don't need to know anymore just take the medication." We even asked the nurses if he was always like this with patients and they would say "I am so sorry, he definitely has his ways about him."I told my sister this was not an appropriate response from a doctor especially one who has made a documentary (which he advertised at every appointment) and she should say something but she said he was getting her the medication she needed and she couldn't keep searching for doctors so we would have to deal with his attitude and know he won't listen to her updates.Now as I stated before my sister can barely get out of bed. Even with the medication she is in pain and she is not very mobile. We were told virtual visits were not available and she would need to come in. On one particularly bad day she was not able to make the appointment so she canceled in advance and was told that the next cancelation would cause a $50.00 cancelation fee...which I understood. Several months later she had to cancel again and I called in and paid the $50.00 cancelation fee. I then got a message saying I would have to pay $100.00 deposit to be seen on the next appointment. I told her I had already paid the late fee and I was not prepared to pay $100.00 more but I would come in and pay in advance for the next appointment if it was that big of an issue. She then told me it was fine and to just come in.Knowing Dr. Marvin Rapaport attitude with my sister I decided to take off work and go with her to this appointment in case he yells at her. Well thank god I did! The nurse comes in and takes our info as normal and then Dr. Marvin Rapaport comes in.....He sits in the chair in front of us arms crossed, scowl on his face and legs stretched out like he is some kind of tough guy.My sister says " Hi Dr. Marvin how are you?" He then snaps at her and says "This isn't about me this appointment is about you!"I then say why are you speaking to her like that?He says "She has missed several appointments"I said "She has missed two appointments in eight months and I paid for the second missed appointment and offered to pay in full for the next appointment."He then yells "I don't need any of your lip!"I say "I am not trying to argue but how could you be so cruel and uncaring? You know what she is going through and that she can barely stand, and you just made a documentary about people with her disease."He responds with " I think you should go to another doctor she is no longer welcome here"He then quickly walks out of the room. HOW COULD YOU DO THIS TO SOMEONE???OVER TWO MISSED APPOINTMENTS IN EIGHT MONTHS WHICH I PAID FOR?!This man made a whole documentary about how debilitating this disease is and this is what he does to patients?! Takes away he medication which in itself can cause major medical side effects from just stopping it and not gradually stopping the medicine.At this point we have now lost hope in the medical system.... Even the doctor who made a documentary about this disease doesn't care about patients.

Dr Vicki Rapaport is hands down AMAZING. Wonderful bedside manners. Love CC office as easy!!!!!! She has now seen all of us in our family including our 3 kids. She takes her time, she's incredibly patient and knowledgeable. Highly recommend.

Rapaport Dermatology has helped me in my lowest of lows being a hyper-sensitive and allergic person. First, Dr. Marvin Rapaport guided me through Topical Steroid Withdrawal. He literally held my hand when I was in the first two weeks of withdrawal because my skin was burning and on fire from being on the strongest of steroid creams and ointments. Now, his brilliant staff (Kate and her medical assistants) are guiding me through a severe bout of berloque dermatitis. Although I have a long way to go, seeing Kate every two weeks has been my saving grace. She makes me feel like I am being guided and supported through this terrible ordeal of extreme hyperpigmentation that is all over my face and neck. She is THE BEST! Please go see her if you are dealing with anything related to your skin. She will give you her undivided attention. She will make sure you know the steps treat your condition. She will repeatedly say to call if you need any support or help. You can tell she loves what she does and that she cares. We need more Kate's everywhere.

Vicky is the best. Love the new Culver City location. Not easy to get an appointment but worth the wait

Person who removed mole left me scarred. A suture was sticking out of my skin for months after the removal. I wouldn't go back if they were the only dermatologist in Los Angeles County.

We have been going to Rappaport Dermatology for years. Dr. Vikki Rappaport and her staff are amazing. They have helped me, my son and husband with many issues over the years. They are great with anything medical you may have. I have maybe started at urgent care bc of it being the weekend. But then after seeing their office they give me the treatments that always fix the problem. Weather it's a rash, mosquito bites with alergic reaction, excema, etc. they are hard core about mole check. They keep an eye on everything. I had a terrible nail infection from a nail salon. They saved me.... I went to 3 dr's , vikki Chen is their office fixed me up. I finally can have pedicure Outsid. I bring all my own stuff lol. when it comes to cosmetic procedures they on the cutting edge. They offer everything and have staff facialist. They are awesome! dr. vikki Rappaport also has a great skincare line and also caries Neocuties and skincute als. She put me on a regimen with retina. its working! the entire staff is fabulous!
