Dermatology And Skin Care Associates's Online Review Report Card

I had two appointments with Dr. Wienfeld for a second opinion on burns I got from a laser treatment at another clinic. At the first appointment, I waited over 30 minutes to be seen. She quickly took a couple of photos, prescribed 4% hydroquinone, and told me to come back in two months. That was pretty much it--it felt rushed. At the follow-up, it seemed like she hadn't even reviewed my chart. When I mentioned that the area still looked red and brownish and I was concerned, she became unexpectedly rude and defensive. I also told her the hydroquinone was irritating my skin, and she just said, "Okay, then stop using it," with no further guidance or alternatives. It really felt like she just wanted to end the conversation rather than actually help. Afterward, I looked through more reviews and saw that several people mentioned getting burned from laser treatments with her, which made me wonder if that's why she got so defensive--despite the fact that my burn wasn't even from her.

Lora gives the best facials. She always makes good suggestions for me to take care of my skin.

Incredibly expensive for mediocre care and unpleasant office staff.

This place is full of crooks. All they do is keep sending bullshit bills, and try to bait you into more visits and treatments.

Most thorough skin exam I’ve ever had

Dr. LaRaia is the best! I called today, got an appointment the same day, and Dr. LaRaia addressed all my concerns immediately. She is an amazing communicator, and always kind, gentle, and a joy to work with.

I would not use this office. This is the second time in a row I waited and ultimately wound up not being seen due to running out of time. The first visit was last year where I waited OVER an hour in the car, left, drove home, and received a call 40 minutes later saying they were ready for me. This time I waited 40 minutes and had to complain in the hallway before the Doctor even came in. Doctor was not very concerned or apologetic and suggested I make visits at times that work better for him to guarantee I would be seen on time. Offered to waive copay and I let him know that no services were rendered and if I was billed I would file a complaint of medical billing fraud. The only other solution he offered was to make a visit with a different doctor in the practice. (Which of course would be in another 3 weeks.) When I called the office to complain I was just told this doctor tends to run behind. 10 - 15 minutes is "running behind", 40 minutes to an hour is unprofessional. How can I trust my medical care to someone who can't be bothered to be reasonably on time for multiple visits? Definitely advise folks who value their time and medical care to not use this office.

I was very pleased by the functioning of this practice and I was especially impressed by my doctor. I thought he was extremely competent and had a really good bedside manner. I drive all the way from the Outer Cape to come here and I will continue to do so. Highly recommended! Peter Herridge MD

Excellent

Dr Weinfeld is so knowledgeable and always takes time to listen and answer all my questions. She's a top-notch dermatologist. The check-in process is smooth and though I do often have to wait a bit for the doctor to come in the room, I go mentally prepared and never have something right after that I need to rush off to. I know it's because she's not rushing the appointment before me and I'll get the same attention when my turn comes, so would rather that than feel like I'm rushed.
