Helen Flamenbaum's Online Review Report Card

I am a patient of Dr. Flamenbaum. I have been very pleased with her expertise. BUT, something must be done regarding making an appointment. I waited a full 25 minutes to speak to anyone. It is too bad, but I have gone elsewhere for care. My time is valuable as well.

Made an appointment here because my sister has been coming here for years and I always heard great things. Was extremely disappointed after driving all the way there from Suffolk County and filling out paperwork, to be informed that no doctors accepted my insurance. When I called to make my appointment and my insurance information was asked for and given, that is when that verification process should of occurred. Again very disappointed by the professionalism of the employees handling the appointments and insurance verification.

Dismissive. Didn’t acknowledge my problem. Will be looking for a more attentive physician

Patient for over 20 years and my family as well. We would not see anyone else! Office assistants are terrific and very helpful!

The most wonderful doctor, caring, compassionate, smart. She is the BEST! Always recommend her.

Had itchy rash on arms & foot. Doctor didn't look at foot maybe because she doesn't like touching feet. Offered me a strong steroid pill & mentioned side effects would be migraines, high BP and cholesterol. I asked for an alternative because of side effects & she gave me a different steroid ointment. I did not find out that it was $1000 until I got to duane reade. Used it anyway and it was not effective so I asked for the stronger steroid pill which was only $7. Shocked dat she ddnt say price b4

Dismissed a mole on my leg, which turned out to be melanoma. Fortunately, I got another opinion. She was more concerned about selling me her products. Absolutely horrible.

Always pleasant and extremely thorough

Dr. Flannenbaum has always been friendly and thorough. Me and my husband and our son, all go to her.

Dr Flamenbaum is still a pleasant, qualified md, but was safer to use before she joined Schweiger. in 2016 their main billing office in NYC overcharged my ins. co. thousands of dollars , and myself hundreds, and won't refund either one of us after numerous months. I had to switch to another dermatologist for non-medical reasons. I never had any billing issues when she was not affiliated with Schweiger, so I am fairly certain Schweiger is the problem.

Excellent services, professional doctors and close home

have been going to her for years , I trust her.

I found Dr. Flamenbaum patient, thorough, and informative. Waiting time upon arrival was less than five minutes. She took as much time as was necessary for the exam and did not rush out to see the next patient. I give her the highest rating possible.

DID A FULL BODY CHECK IN A VERY SHORT TIME AND SAID ALL LOOKED WELL. ASKED HER TO CHECK ON A NEW SPOT I FOUND. SHE SAID HOW WONDERFUL A PATIENT I WAS TO CHECK MYSELF, AND SINCE I WAS CONCERNED SHE REMOVED IT. IT TURNED OUT TO BE A PRE MELANOMA. SENT ME TO A PLASTIC SURGEON WHO COULDN'T UNDERSTAND WHY I WAS THERE SINCE ALL THE MARGINS WERE CLEAN. MY BILL WAS $300 FOR HIM JUST TO LOOK AT IT, WHICH WAS NOT NECESSARY.

I took an entire day off to see this doctor. She was late to the appointment by 40 minutes, and spent 2 and half minutes with me and didn't take the time to examine me or understand why I came to see her. She mis-diagnosed part of my common condition. I had to go to another dermatolgist for a really easy diagnosis.

Its like a drill when she enters the room. she has no feeling towards her clients needs. I had two friends go see her and they had the same experience (thinking maybe it was me) No it Dr Flaumenbaum. never again. usuing someone else now.

Dr. Flamenbaum is an amazing doctor! I had horrible acne for years and Dr. Flamenbaum helped clear it up. Now i can wear my hair back instead of using it to hide my face. I have also been going to her for laser hair removal and have seen wonderful results!
