Subtracted one star because the other reviews are correct that the wait is usually long but otherwise perfect doctor. I haven't been here in awhile but service has always been great and dr is attentive. Location is prime for a walk after or before the visit. read more

Dr Alexander Ehrlich has been listed on Philadelphia magazines Top Docs and I agree. I've been seeing his for decades now, he's always available, takes his time listening to patients, and I believe he really does care. He explains procedures in full. Makes sure you know how to use any new RX and his team is also very accommodating. They even offer free samples at the front desk. I love this place...and it's at Rittenhouse Square? Dr Ehrlich's patients appreciate his vast knowledge of all things pertaining to skin. A true gem in Philadelphia. read more

Dr. Ehrlich is am excellent Dr. He is very careful when removing a skin growth and always makes sure you are comfortable. He is great​

Dr Ehrlich is a great doctor. He is very thorough physician. I have been seeing him for nearly 10 years and I took my elderly parents to see him as well. Due to his care he was able to identify on 2 different occassions skin cancer on my mother by sight the first time and then by following moles he charted in her chart. The same occured with my father, the lastest one just this past month, he was great workng with my father who had Lewy Body Dementia read more

This place is really great. First time visiting a dermatologist and it was great. Didn't have to wait any time. My appt went great and the doctor was really helpfully. read more

Way overbooked, staff that doesn't care, and an arrogant provider. An hour wait in the waiting room, and then another hour in the exam room. There were no emergencies that day, and with all that wasted time I read reviews of the doctor online that all back up my experience. Believe the hype! read more

Dr. Ehrlich was great and his staff was super nice and helpful. I actually got my appointment confused and came on the wrong day, but because I had to take time off of work, the receptionist was nice enough to squeeze me in. I only went in to have a mole removed, but Dr. Ehrlich asked me if there was anything else I was concerned about he gave me a sample cream for goose bumpy skin (apparently it's a skin condition) that I've had on my arms for years! I super glad he gave me this - now I'm looking forward to tank top season! read more

Dr. Ehrlich and his staff are excellent. He often runs late... and I mean, 45 minutes to an hour late. So I call the office about 15 minutes before my appointment (since that's how long it takes me to get there) and ask how late he is running, and adjust my arrival time accordingly. They don't mind you doing this, and it's always worked out fine for me. So helpful! The doctor himself is great - very nice, if a little bit shy, but interested in my life - asked about my job, my neighborhood, as well as a knee surgery, and remembered the details next time I saw him. He also moves pretty quickly, which is fine with me. I'm not one for long appointments. His nurses are great too - one gave me a bunch of free samples and they all hand out discount cards and stuff. I can't recommend him enough, but did take off one star for timing issues! read more

They made me to wait 1:30 hours to visit the doctor (before going, I requested to delay my appointment for 1 hour so that I can go to the class I wanted to go, but they said they cannot). The doctor listens and mentions different options and prescribe what you prefer. The doctor gives prescription for a couple of months only so that you have to go there more often. read more

Dr. Ehrlich is simply an exceptional physician. I probably should've reported that earlier, as I've been with him now for several years. I came over to his practice after I moved downtown. Prior to that, I had been in treatment with another dermatologist, who was also excellent but she retired and recommended Dr. Ehrlich to me, upon her retirement. Dr. Ehrlich has been caring and thorough on each and every visit. I'm one of those people who stupidly spent way too much time in the sun as a kid into adulthood (beach, baseball, golf). My skin is my biggest medical challenge. In the past 2 weeks, I was doing a topical medication to address some rough patches on my face. I had a quick and dramatic reaction that I reported to the office. Dr. Ehrlich has now followed up with me on Facetime calls yesterday and again today. My health clearly matters to him. I wouldn't want it any other way. read more

We were patients of Dr. Alexander Ehrlich several years. We came from Cherry Hill, NJ to Rittenhouse Square, then waited almost 4 hours each visit. The wait was just too much every time... We now use Dr. David Finkelstein in Voorhees, NJ. We are pleased. read more

I am extremely disappointed in this practices lack of concern for patients time. The first time I went, I waited for an hour and a half to be seen past my appointment time. I just thought he was backed up that day and it normally doesn't happen but I just went for my second yearly check up and I was kept waiting again! My appointment was at 4pm, I showed up on time and overheard that there was another patient waiting who had an appointment at 3pm. I asked the front desk if I was going to wait, and she pretty much told me yes and this is what always happens. I told her that left work early to get to my appointment on time and now i have to wait for another hour when I could have been at work!? She was understanding but didn't really even say sorry or do anything about it. How can anyone think this is right!? I told her I would stay until 4:45 and if I'm not seen by then, I'm leaving. That's what happened. I ended up leaving because there was still 2 other patients in front of me and it was nearing the end of the day and had other obligations. This is extremely unprofessional and disrespectful and I do not recommend this place to anyone. read more

I will start by saying this review is for my second (and last) appointment. My first appointment would have gotten a much better review. The positive: front-line staff are amazingly friendly and patient. And I suspect as frustrated by what I am about to describe as I am. The negative: I waited in the waiting room for 2.5 hours. Let me repeat that: 2.5 hours. I would have written this off as a bad day (I am reasonable if they have some emergency) until I read other comments here. This office needs to fix this. Other customers were walking out. I was informed that this is "why they tell us to call before coming, to make sure the doctor is on schedule" ... 1) I was never told that, and 2) is this so common that they have to add this disclaimer on the confirmation calls??? Every other doctor I see has a policy of first in, first seen .... As long as you have an appointment. So, if I have an 11:15, and show up at 11:00, I'd be put in queue based on that arrival time. Not here --- people who walked in after me, yet had earlier appointments, were seen first. Or maybe they were just warned that he is "always behind." But not good optics in my opinion. I was seen at 2 for an 11:30 appointment. I missed lunch. I had to call work from the waiting room, and take extra sick time. This is money out of MY pocket. But I needed the medical care. I heard the front desk talking amongst themselves that the doctor "needs to hurry up" ... And boy did he when he got to me. Four minute consult after 2.5 hour wait. My issue was dismissed. I was rushed. I since made an appointment with a different dermatologist ... Hopefully that one will go better. read more

Highly recommend Dr. Ehrlich! He made me feel very comfortable and eased my nerves. Was very thorough during the procedure and explained everything he was doing! And answered all of my million questions afterward. The receptionist was also very friendly! read more

Dr. Ehrlich is a miracle worker. I know this sounds like hyperbole, but after having visited several doctors (including a very well-regarded GP in Philly) for what appeared to be stubborn pimples, I am pretty amazed that it took Dr. Ehrlich all of 3 seconds to determine that they were actually warts and not more than another 10 minutes to get them taken care of. Having suffered from those unsightly things for almost two years (applying god knows how many types of creams, antibiotics, and salves), this felt nothing short of a miracle. Yet, that was not all. My wife also had an appointment for her acne which she has suffered from for years, and not surprisingly, it's taken a toll on her emotionally. Visits to dermatologists in the past have yielded only head shakes and a one-word answer: Accutane. Anyone who's suffered from severe acne knows that Accutane is the "nuclear-option" of acne treatment, with potentially serious fallout. For example, the risk of birth defects is so serious that they insist women using Accutane must use not one but TWO different contraceptive measures. Also, you have to get blood tests like every month. In any case, my wife and I were expecting to pretty much hear the same one-word answer. To our surprise, however, Dr. Ehrlich didn't even mention Accutane. When I brought it up, he explained that he didn't like to use that as a first option and would prefer to try some other options. So he prescribed an antibiotic instead. I was admittedly skeptical, thinking that he was just wasting time. But within a month or so, there was already a dramatic reduction in my wife's acne. Neither my wife nor I could believe it! We've had follow-up appointments and my warts are completely gone now (took one more treatment), and my wife's acne continues to clear up. The doc also prescribed some creams (that we got for free through some coupons he gave us) for my wife to clear up the scarring. Feels pretty miraculous. YES, others are correct in pointing out that it usually (Ok, always) takes several hours of waiting before you get to see the doctor. For my wife and me, those few hours have been worth it. All the best! read more

Dr. Ehrlich is very thorough and knowledgeable. I have been going to him since I was a teen. He has helped me tremendously with my acne when I was a teen. He has also helped me with my Rosacea. He is also able to do some procedures in office. I really look up to him as a Dr. I wish there were more Dr.'s out there like him. As far as waiting room I would rather have a Dr. Who cares about each of his patients then one who rushes through. Sometimes things take longer than expected in medicine and a case may take longer than expected. Medicine is not some snip snap timer microwave oven, but rather can be complex from patient to patient. I know myself as I am a Dr. He is one of the best dermatologists if not the Best around that is why he is so popular. He is well worth the wait. I have seen him oodles of times for my skin especially as a teen and the wait was not that bad. When he sees you you are the center of attention and he problem solves it is well worth the wait. He also works very hard squeezing patients in. We have a Vet Practice on Manning street and I often see him leaving very late to accommodate his patients. Being from the area too. Ever since I was a child till current day the word of mouth recommendation for him has been excellent too. He is widely recognized as the best dermatologist in the area. He is very well loved by the Rittenhouse community. He really cares. Recently I had a skin condition in which I could not sleep at night with insanely itchy knees and painful too. I was also terrified that if I did not do something I would have permanent scarring. They were able to squeeze me in. I was literally freaking out about what ever was going on on the skin on my knees. I had all kinds of differentials running through my head I was really freaked out. He calmed me and was very through in his questioning and history taking. He thought that perhaps I had had a contact allergy. Finally I remembered that about 2 weeks prior I was at a horse event and tripped and had fallen outdoors. Now being a girl scout in the past and a camper I had learned about poison ivy and always had avoided successfully. I fell on my knees and that is exactly where I had this horrible skin condition. He quickly calmed me and helped me realize it was most likely poison ivy and came up with some great treatments and solutions. My knees are back to normal now. Also my mother and father have seen him too and love Dr. E. My experience has only been positive. I have been a loyal customer for over 20 close to 30 years! That says a lot about this A +++ Dermatologist!!! You should be honored to have him as your doc! read more

Was a patient of Dr. Ehrlich's for years until today. His lack of respect for his patients' time is remarkable. Stay away from this trainwreck. read more

This is my second visit. My first visit was over a year ago, and judging by the other posts this is a long term and constant theme: you will wait forever before being seen regardless of your appointment time!!!!! I am currently in the waiting room at 1pm. I've been here since 11:25am for my 11:30am appointment. There are still 3 people in front of me. No one has acknowledged to anyone their apologies for the delay. Oh and a pharma rep was seen for 30minutes in the middle of my wait. Never again. I also utilized my time to find 4 other dermatologists within 0.4 miles of this location. read more

Dr. Ehrlich is ok in that he doesn't rush you and he generally fixes whatever problem you need fixed, but no dermatologist is worth a 4 hour wait. 4 HOURS! I made a 10:30am appointment and was not seen until 2:30. This did not just happen once but every single time I went. That is extremely unprofessional. For that reason I do not recommend this dermatologist. read more

Best dermatologist I've seen in Philadelphia (and I've seen a few). They managed the wait times well by having me call the day of the appointment and telling me to come a little bit later. It didn't take much time. I appreciated that he has vitiligo, as I do. That made me think he got into the profession to help people and not to push unnecessary cosmetic items and procedures, which was in keeping with my experience of him. read more

I was in and out of the office in 40 min and didn't have to wait very long at all. Dr. Ehrlich was sweet, engaging, and very knowledgeable. The staff was also nice and helpful. read more

Dr Erlich is a really good doctor but Every time I am here I have to wait for an insane amount of time. Today I wasn't seen for 90 minutes after my appointment time. I question if I will come back for this reason. read more

Good place especially if you live or work right in center city. Have not been to the doc since I was born (more-or-less) and the receptionist took the time to explain what I needed to do with my insurance to get in the door. Was also able to schedule an appt. at the last minute - other places 6 months out; plus. They were a bit busy and I waited for about half an hour. Busy is a good sign to me. Doc runs an efficient place but did his job well. I was suprised. read more

This has to be the worst run doctor's office in the history of medicine. My first follow-up appointment was the last of the day, at 5:45p. They have wised up now and told me to call first to see how far behind they are running. At 5:05 they had no idea what time I'd get in, as the 5, 5:15 and 5:30 had not shown as yet. They said call back again. I live near the office but work in North Philly, so I can only call so many times before I'd need to leave in time to be there. I had dinner plans later that night so I cancelled. Rescheduled for a day I was off, at 12:30. Called at noon and was told delayed until at least 1, call again. I called at 12:30 and said delayed at least until 1:15. I cancelled and will never go back, I don't care if my skin falls off my body. The audacity that this doc and his staff have is mind blowing, thinking people can schedule and reschedule countless times because they do not have a clue how to run an office; it is highly unprofessional, and insulting. I lived down south for awhile and every doc's office had a sign 'If you are waiting more than 10 mins for your scheduled appointment, tell us'. Somehow they made it work, and respected their patients'/customers' time. Save yourself some headaches and find another dermatologist. read more
