Her office could be run a little better, but I guess that is a result of how busy they are and how many folks are all in the waiting room.

Usually when people make appointments during the week they are making time in their work schedule to make the visit which is extremely inconsiderate. Why send out a confirmation text message if you aren't going to even be at the appointment yourself? Zeroooo Updated based on the poor response: Implying I went to the wrong office just shows the lack of accountability by the team here. I'm old enough to read the sign on the building/door... I don't need anyone to call me now I'll go elsewhere. There's always some weird excuse in the reviews here where the customer always seems to be making something up because there's no way the office could own up to a mistake. A helpful tip for future business responses would be something along the lines of ...(We apologize for the inconvenience and value your time. I am not sure what went wrong but if it helps we will fit you in at your availability). Imagine getting a response like that? I guess I went to a phantom office where all the employees are invisible. Silly me.

Two months before finding my current dermatologist's office, I suffered an awful experience at this…read moredermatology office in Great River. They barely glanced at my skin before dismissively telling me to use some over-the-counter cream - which they must have known wouldn't help. They made my appt with two male doctors, whom I don't remember the names of, and a newly hired female doctor for my final appointment. They just wanted my $20 copay to rush me out the door with their halfhearted 'Have a nice day.' What a waste of time and money! My current dermatologists, MDCS in Commack, are fantastic! They listen carefully, show genuine empathy, and offer thoughtful solutions to approach the problem. Even when I came in stressed, which wasn't helping my skin issues, they took the time to understand my concerns truly.

The wait time to see the doctor is minimal (they must know how to schedule!). Once you are brought into the exam room, you wait a very short time to see the doctor who also is very friendly. A pleasant experience overall! Besides the overall service I also feel confident in the treatment that I receive. If you have not tried it, I would suggest you give a try. You will be very pleased with the experience.

I've been a loyal patient of Schweiger Dermatology in Smithtown for years and have always had…read morepositive experiences, which is why I felt comfortable booking a same-day appointment at the Deer Park location since it's closer to home. Unfortunately, this visit left me feeling uncomfortable, dismissed, and taken advantage of. I struggle with significant anxiety around doctors, especially in clinical settings, and instead of feeling supported, I felt judged and spoken down to. The provider I met with had very poor bedside manner and made assumptions about me and my body within minutes of meeting me. At one point, she even commented that I was "getting bright red" while questioning me, which only heightened my anxiety. I was too nervous to speak up in the moment. What stood out the most was being told multiple times that I "never have to come back" and could just return to the Smithtown location. That felt unprofessional and dismissive--especially given that I had just paid a significant amount out of pocket for the visit. To make matters worse, I was informed that treatment would require a follow-up appointment, leaving me feeling stuck after spending money on a visit that ultimately didn't help me. I deeply regret not staying with my original location. I've referred many friends and family members to Schweiger Dermatology over the years and truly value the practice as a whole, which is why this experience was so disappointing. I sincerely wish my visit to the Deer Park office had reflected the level of care and compassion I've consistently received elsewhere.

Not what you expect from the Northwell Health Family. Came here as a referral. And when you wait…read moreover 2 months for an appointment you think your about to get into a wonderful practice. Little did I know I was waiting to get into a factory of yearn and churn with no individual follow up or caring. Not to violate HIPA regulations I won't get into specifics but the front desk has some great people but there or others that are extremely short and go as far when your asking a question to respond with " they will either call you a script or whatever..... they won't....". Last I checked we were a patient and we mattered. Then when you come on time for your appt be ready to wait about an hr to then be told the dr is behind 45 mins a patient and this is at the start of the day. Umm how does that happen. Wonder what would happen if I called and said I was 45 mins late. We know what would happen. And the part about the Dr's and follow up and assistance. See the stars above.

He basically dismissed my concerns. my son who is 22 has acne on his chest, back, and arms. He prescribed body wash and gel cream. Said it would probably take 12 weeks to show a difference, but then said to follow up in a month. Why? So he can see him for 5 minutes and charge us? Then when I got bills for our co-pays, I paid them only to get a new bill for both a month later. Both payments cleared my account before the new bill was issued. Now I've been trying to call the billing service for 3 days and it's always busy. I've called over 20 times and I can't get through. I hate this office!!! total incompetence!!!!!!

Before that, the doctors he had been seeing could not make a correct diagnosis and prescribe the appropriate treatment. The doctor immediately determined what kind of disease it was and prescribed an ointment. A few days later, there was a noticeable improvement.

I was told it would take up until 10 months before I would see the complete results. I was told I that I was given the strongest dosage and that it was a onetime procedure and that within the 10 months I would see the results. Well, it's been over 10 months and Nothing! I went back for the 10 month follow up 3/14/2026 as explained by the clinical director. After the tech took the pics, she asked me if I was happy, I said NO nothing's changed. I want my money back. That Monday the clinical director called me Jemima. She told me she saw a little difference, and she asked me what I wanted to do. I said I want my money back she said no but, I could come in and try a different procedure. I told her NO for 2 reasons 1) you told me it was a onetime procedure 2) that I was given the strongest dosage 3) I would still have to wait another 10 months to be disappointed, and besides every time I called which was too many times to count because I wasn't seeing any results. Everyone kept reassuring me to wait and give it 10 months it. I will be happy you'll see. 12 months later I still have the eye bags. It clearly DID NOT WORK FOR ME. Just in case you say I give a good surgery that was done the day of the service not the 10 months after which is what I had to wait to see the full results which is nothing.
