Engelman Michael's Online Review Report Card

Excellent! Have been a patient for over 20 years. Extremely thorough exam and listens to concerns and questions with knowledgeable advice and treatment.

He is a good doctor, I do not know about the other reviews but he is friendly and does his job right. He talks to you about concerns and addresses the problems (if any) that you have. My whole family goes to him for any moles or skin problems we have and he is great :)

Wow. I really wished I had looked this up before my appointment. Unfortunately my experience lines up with a lot of the criticisms here. I had requested a doctor at the Coral Springs office who could treat keloids with steroid shots and the office assigned me to him. His general bedside manner was, well, not encouraging. No real greeting or introduction. But I thought he must have been busy and overwhelmed, so I tried to be polite and understanding on my end. I asked him if he could also include a local anesthetic (the injections can be extremely painful, depending on the area). My old derm was able to do it so it caused no pain at all. He said that this was not the methodology he was accustomed to. His tone felt very dismissive, as if I was being a baby asking to avoid pain. But he (literally) shrugged and said he'd try if I wanted to. I have never seen a doctor shrug, or be so cavalier about a patient's concerns. At the last moment (as in he's literally floating over me with the needle), I chickened out. His manner just did not inspire trust. And honestly, I just don't think he was knowledgeable enough about the treatment. To be fair to him, a lack of knowledge about possible keloid treatments seems to be a general deficiency in today's dermatology. I've been rejected by several doctors (including POCs) in my search for relief from keloid growth and the physical pain it causes. I have several large ones on my back and chest. The fact that this condition most effects people with high levels of melanin (i.e. people of color) makes this deficiency among the profession really frustrating and heartbreaking. As a black women I feel like my skin doesn't matter to dermatology in America. I've only found one doctor in South Florida who has been able to provide knowledgeable treatment, but she's no longer within my insurance network. Meanwhile, I'm just praying I can find someone else who can help me. In all, if you're looking for keloid relief, I would recommend going elsewhere. And let me know if you have success somewhere else, please. :)

My doctor’s visit was not how I expected it to be. I feel responsible to warn you. I didn’t find him to be very friendly and even a bit rude.He approached me with a scalpel in order to cut a piece of skin to do a biopsy. However I did not approved for a biopsy prior to that.I didn’t expect this for a simple eczema skin issue. He then went on becoming rude towards me.The visit then had to be interrupted. Please be careful.

I just love Dr Engleman who is a keen professional as well as a wonderful Doctor. He truly cares about his patients and he has a great staff who is very helpful and easy to work with. I know I AM IN GREAT HANDS!!!

This was my 1st dermatologist visit and read reviews before visiting and I was worried. But he was very friendly and addressed all my concerns and very thorough.

Am shopping around for a Dermatologist and the review I read of one patient who said Dr. Engelman came in didn't greet or introduce himself to her which was not professional and not good for his business, therefore am looking elsewhere.

Horrible. Didn't even say hello when he came in the room. Immediately Yelled at me for taking a prescription prescribed previously by one of his own partners. Then, when I asked him what else he would recommend for my issue, he gave me attitude and just kept saying he didn't like the medicine i was prescribed. I wouldn't send me dog to this man. Find yourself another doctor.

I have had him as my doctor for years and he is excellent and quick with his examinations.
