The one star is for the helpful desk staff and the nice office…read more I'm taking away four stars because the doctor's demeanor just sucked. This is the most unpleasant experience I've had with a doctor in some time. First, she was accusatory (why are you here?), almost scolding me for coming in for an annual checkup. She was cold, condescending, dismissive and SO palely unrealistic. When I copped to going to the beach on the weekends and getting some moderate sun exposure - with SPF 50, a sun hat and an umbrella, always, she asked (was it smugly?), "well......would you ever consider changing your lifestyle to stay out of the sun?" Oh yeah, I'm going to stop all my outdoor exercise and activities - biking, running, tennis, skiing, hiking, snowshoeing, kayaking, etc - and have overweight kids. That sounds like quite a lifestyle change. Why didn't I think of that sooner? Additionally, she seems to be that type that suggests you cut every dot off, to hell with the scars. Seems a bit excessive to me. Back to MGH I go!

A excellent group of dermatology professionals…read more I have had the pleasure of being a patient of a number of physicians at Brigham Dermatology over more than two decades. All have been professional, talented,and had good patient skills. Doctors Rubenstein, Smith, and Merola are of particular note. Whether one's care is preventative or to address particular conditions, there are well equipped to cope. The dermatologists also coordinate well with other specialties. Cutting edge research is also an option. I have been in three research studies, and all were well done with entry information, personal care, and follow up. The clinic staff is among the best at Brigham. They are courteous, helpful, patient, and knowledgeable. At check-in and check-out there are always sufficient staff to meet the patient needs. Nursing staff are very helpful. Parking is made easier by a valet service. I will definitely continue to utilise Brigham Dermatology.

I will never set foot inside this doctor's office again. I had waited over 6 months to get an…read moreappointment. When making the appointment, I didn't feel like I needed to divulge all the reasons why I'm coming to see a doctor to a RECEPTIONIST, so I said I'd like to speak to her about some dermatitis. When I finally had my appointment today, the office assistant was quite adamant that I could only speak to her about the ONE thing I came to speak to her about because they had only allotted enough time for that. So, the doctor just absolutely refused to talk to me about ANYTHING else. It was a serious mind-fuck. Isn't a dermatologist supposed to check your moles or something as part of a routine visit? I felt completely rushed and disrespected - it really ruined my day. And the worst part is that they were so nice and pleasant about the whole thing. I get it. Doctors get paid for procedures they do, not to listen to you complain about how you don't like your complexion. This one will probably be more interested in me when I'm 40 and wanting Botox or skin resurfacing or whatever the fck the bored housewives of Arlington get for their bdays. This was a real disappointment. After reading reviews about a doctor who listens, I experienced something altogether different.

Dr Hirsch does not strike me as the type of Doctor you select for a "routine visit". The woman is…read morerenowned for cosmetic and laser dermatology, which is why I waited for an appointment. In my case, I decided to see Dr. Hirsch for laser hair removal and a general consult about what daily facial skin regimen would be best for me. The woman is adorable. She is full of energy and possesses a staggering wit. More importantly, she is devastatingly blunt. If what you want is unrealistic, she is going to tell you, and I think that is an extremely important characteristic for someone in her field. Luckily, my expectations were feasible, and after a thorough chat about my skin and what over the counter products I could use to keep me looking younger longer (which, although admittedly rather expensive, have been working like a charm!), I was ushered out to schedule the actual appointment for my procedure. The ensuing appointment was just as great as the consult. I am sure I looked slightly nutty in protective eyewear (lasers are bright!), a medical gown, and a hair cap. Yet somehow, Dr Hirsch put me at ease. She even gave me a stuffed animal to hold on to during the procedure. The day after the procedure I was surprised by how red the treated areas looked. It was a little scary! I called the office and the office manager took my information. Soon after, Dr. Hirsch rang my phone and walked me through my concerns. The redness was normal, but she was never condescending, and she even called me each day for 2 days thereafter, just to make sure I was doing well! And the results of the procedure?.... SO GREAT!! I will definitely consult Dr. Hirsch for all of my dermatology and cosmetic concerns in the future.

Decided to leave the practice for another doctor who seems more suited to my issues and has better diagnosis skills. Very upset.

When I signed up to see a dermatologist in Wellesley, I did not expect for it to be in a building…read moreas old as the state. I imagine they make out on rent for this horrible building that was likely built in the 1940s. But the actual offices are nice and super modern - too bad I feel like I went through a time warp to get there. The doctor I saw was perfectly nice but I don't feel that her examination was thorough. She didn't check every place and seemed to take great stock in the fact that I had a mole exam within the last 3 years. The entire thing took 4 minutes. I asked about further procedures and pricing... of course, she has no idea. However, I recently had several rude dermatologists and this doctor was perfectly polite. It also showed up on my mass general patent gateway which is helpful for records and billing.

In my search for a dermatologist, there was little on Yelp to go by. I took a leap of faith with…read moreDr. Bendetson after seeing positive reviews on other sites- and was VERY happy with the outcome. The office is conveniently on Beacon Street, his secretary was friendly and efficient, and my appointment was quick and painless. I had a biopsy done, and although I scheduled a follow-up appointment to go over the results, Dr. Bendetson gave me a call two days later with the results and ordered my prescription while I was still on the phone. He really took the time to get to know me in my short appointment, and made me feel comfortable when sometimes skin isn't a fun topic of conversation. He will definitely be my go-to dermatologist in the Boston-area, and I will recommend him to my friends/family.

All he wanted to do was a biopsy and didn't let me complete the background I was trying to share with him * No courtesy while doing biopsy. No heads up saying "this will hurt a little" * The biopsy results were supposed to be in on urgent basis in a day or so but they were not. No one from office gave me a call and they tell me that I'm supposed to keep calling them to see if the results are back * After 6 days when I called, the results were in and surprisingly, the doctor spoke to me. He asked me which medications I was taking (which I already had told me in person) * The biospy was sent to the lab which my medication names and I finally got a report in my hand mentioning that both of my oral medication are culprit towards the rash ( I'm skeptical about that right now) * I just called there office to speak to the dr for the follow up and the receptionist tells me that he is gone for the day.... and basically hung up on me after that. I am not going to this office again

My skin cleared up within 2 weeks and when I came for a follow up, she remembered my career path and certain details about my life that I never expected a doctor to remember! At another time, I had a slight emergency and I called the office and left a message, and Karen got back to me very promptly and was able to fit me in that day. I so appreciated the Office's understanding. While Dr. Graber does both functional and cosmetic dermatology, I never felt as though she was trying to sell me a product or giving me unnecessary treatments or information. It was great to have a doctor with a cosmetic lens, but not feeling added pressure. I give Dr. Graber and her office 5 stars and have already recommended my friends go to see her.
