I recommend her without hesitation. read more

I've been seeing Dr Marcy Alvarez and consistently have an excellent experience. She truly listens to her patients, explains medical concerns clearly, and gives straightforward instructions that are easy to follow.

From scheduling appointments to being greeted when you arrive, the staff creates a smooth and comfortable experience every time. It's clear that patient care and professionalism are priorities throughout the practice. I highly recommend this dermatology practice to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, compassionate, and attentive dermatologist in Miami Beach. read more

Recently had a cyst removed from my shoulder at Lincoln Road Dermatology by Dr. Maria Alvarez. The procedure was simple, painless and efficient and Dr Alvarez has alway been extremely professional and knowledgeable each and every visit. The office staff are helpful and always timely. I would highly recommend Lincoln Rd. Dermatology if you are ever in the need for any dermatological issues... read more

eDr. Marcey Alvarez is fantastic! Caring, knowledgeable, and my skin has never looked better!

I was a new patient, there for medical consult. I was early and Dr Alvarez was able to see me early. She spent 10 minutes telling me her medical hypothesis, wanted to do minor surgical proceedure then, acted irritated and annoyed that I asked her advice on topicals I was using and that I asked for some symptom relief options before opting for a proceedure that would "leave a scar" amd another that would keep me indoors for healing on the same day without any prep on my end. She saw what she wanted to see and rushed thru the appointment when she realized I wanted a different approach, at least to begin. The PA was nice. The topicals I was given made my skin worse. I think the expression is, when all you have is a hammer, everything lools like a nail. Well, that's not the experience I am looking for. The funny thing is, of the 15 minites she was ahead of schedule, she could have put 5 extra minutes toward the consult. Instead, she saved time from my alotted consult time as well. I have been to other dermotologists in the past and this experience comes in at the bottom of the pack. read more

I arrived early and was let in immediately. The staff is very nice and helpful. Dr Alvarez was very welcoming and professional. read more

I had an ablative laser treatment done, and it was so seamless working with Dr. Alvarez. Not only is she highly talented, but she's personable, and all of the staff are great too (which in my experience, is unusual for a medical clinic). Couldn't recommend more. read more

The entire staff was very welcoming and professional. This was my first visit and I left feeling that I was well taken care of. Dr. Alvarez seemed very knowledgeable and extremely thorough. I was referred to her by my primary who takes my well being very seriously. read more

Amazing people Very accommodating. Clean office. Dr. Alvarez is the top of the top. And. I'm a doctor. Been going here for years. Thank you for all you do read more

Dr. Alvarez is the best! great bedside manner, helpful staff, knowledgeable on serious skin health and cosmetic elements too.

I have been with Dr. Alvarez since October 2024 for acne treatment and my skin has never looked better! She has been so patient and informative throughout the accutane process and I am so grateful. I make the drive from the Shores to South Beach because of how amazing they are. LRD has an AMAZING staff that is efficient and always kind. I always love my experience here and am so happy I found Dr. Alvarez! read more

I've been going for years and years. Dr. Alvarez is the best. I couldn't be happier or more satisfied. What more is there to say?

I moved far away from South beach and switched dermatology offices but I couldn't find an office or doctor that made me feel like I was getting great care, I had to go back to Lincoln Road Dermatology! That's enough, they are it. Pay attention to detail, great staff, and Dr. Marcy is the sweetest most personable derm I know! read more

I am not evaluating the Dr. I am evaluating the problematic way they have to make an appointment. They treat you as each client is a problem for them. They want you to first do a whole sheet on the internet, then scan all your paperwork and wait for them to answer. In most doctors' offices, you could present your driver's lic. etc there, here no. read more

Both my wife and I recently became patients and we both love the practice and Dr. Alvarez. Thanks for your diligence and professionalism

Terrible terrible. Front desk staff is rude and un-accommodating. Online booking is terrible. Would recommend avoiding at all cost.

This One Star review has very little to do with Dr Alvarez's medical abilities-something which it is hard for a patient to judge. This low rating is based on the sharp practices employed by her firm. Thus far, this office has charged me $116 for $100 worth of services. First, they failed to apply a $50 deposit required to make a first appointment just keeping the money instead. Then, they charged me a $66 copay where they should have charged me a $50 copay. So I had paid $50 before I walked in the door and another $66 before I walked out. The office knew that they had the deposit, so I cannot imagine what their excuse for not applying it would be. As regards the co pay, Dr Alvarez alternately claimed that they just assumed that it would be 20% or that they called my insurer who told them it was 20% The doctor's office is still reviewing these matters - if and when I get a refund, I will update this review. But I cannot rely on medical opinions from a party whose integrity I have legitimate doubts about. UPDATE: Following a conference call with LRD and my insurer, I received a refund in the amount of $16 today. read more

For the first time while living in Miami, I needed a dermatologist to address a tiny skin concern. Lincoln Road Dermatology ended up meeting all of my needs: easy booking (online via Zocdoc), readily available appointments (some places I called wanted to make me wait 1-3 weeks), and decent reviews. While the idea of having to go to Lincoln Road for a doctor's appointment seemed stressful, I decided to give it a go. I was able to fill out all my paperwork online beforehand which was a timesaver once I got to the office. Unfortunately, they were running behind about 30 minutes. They assured me that this was not normal and I'm choosing to believe them. Dr. Marcy Alvarez was very kind and efficient. I was in and out in five minutes with everything I needed. She made me feel comfortable and answered my questions. I saw results within a day of her prescribed treatment! The front desk staff was also very welcoming. Overall, it was definitely a pleasant doctor experience compared to some others I've had in the 305. There's street parking and garages near the office but, with the way parking prices are in South Beach this day, you'll pay a pretty penny. Such is Miami life. read more

Dr Alvarez has so many aspects of her practice together yet she is a bit dismissive and cavalier unless your are forking out quick money for fillers. She tends to "side" with other medical professionals in her referral network and not stand up for her patients. While she demonstrates knowledge and competency and is quick to fein concern before biopsy of visible areas, her concern is questionable as she sidesteps anything of grave concern - like cancer- and is quick to refer out to (or steer to?) other specialists. Her front desk staff is amazing and she has built a good solid practice. It is my hope that she will no longer dismiss patients after a quick , often incorrect, assessment of their situation, standing and means, and that she will offer multiple referrals rather than steer patients to professionals she claims she would visit herself . If is also my hope that if a biopsy comes back with a cancer reading that she take the time herself to call the patient and present all options for treatment and respective referrals. She is a good Dr who merits recognition , but a little humility and empathy could get her a lot farther. read more

This is the BEST place for your skin in Miami ! The Dr. has great bedside manners and really knows what she is doing. I'm new to the area and I'm so thankful I found this place. Scott read more

First off -- cool location -- 1111 Lincoln! Doc Alvarez is pretty amazing. She runs a super efficient and well staffed team. I've never waited more than a minute or two in the waiting room and Dr. Alvarez spends her time with me -- she doesn't rush you in-and-out, just churning patients. She genuinely cares and when you're dealing with skin issues, that means a lot, since often skin issues make you real sensitive and concerned as a patient. She's great and I highly recommend. read more

Dr Alvarez doesn't know much about dermatology. I ended up spending about $1000 and wasting 2 weeks of time, while my skin condition kept on getting worse. They never called me to follow up and tell me that my test results were in. When I did it myself, I was diagnosed incorrectly and started wrong treatment, that obviously did not improve my condition. When 10 days later I insisted on another visit, I was charged $125 as soon as I walked through the door only to find out that my previous test results and diagnosis were wrong, so I have to pay for yet another test. Ridiculous. I left and never came back. My new doctor put me on the right treatment and I'm seeing huge improvement in just 24 hrs. This visit was a complete waste of time and money. Do not recommend. read more

Dr Alvarez is a MIRACLE WORKER. I've had cystic acne for YEARS. I've seen many other dermatologists and they were not able to find a routine that worked for me. I thought after puberty, my skin would clear up. However I'm 24 now - clearly that wasn't the case. Within three months of this routine, my skin is at a place it's never been. I'm comfortable to go outside without makeup - which is so foreign to me. I can be confident at the beach and pool now. Thank you so much, Dr. Alvarez. You've changed my life for the better. I am crying tears of joy. Also, the routine is very inexpensive - with only one prescription that is also inexpensive! Thank you thank you thank you!!!! read more

Lincoln Road Dermatology - Dermatologists Near Me - Miami Beach, Florida

Great place to be treated. Nice doctor and staff, located in the heart of Miami Beach.

Sorry never have I posted a bad review but I can't help it. First time ever I would say staff was friendly and helpful but the doctor was dismissive. Time management is so hard as a doc but when 2 people have the same time apt and she takes the long procedure ahead of the short consult that then has to wait 1 hour is just wrong. I will not be back even with the convenience of the location read more

I was originally going to see Dr. Barba for my annual and cosmetic but I got tired of her lousy office staff and long wait times (usually over an hour!). Then I found Dr. Alvarez. I will never change doctors. Not only is her staff professional and I've never waited but Dr. Alvarez actually cares about your health not just the Botox. I trust her completely and love her personality as well. She's the best. I'd give her more stars if I could. read more

I had a horrible experience with Dr. Marcy Alvarez. She came in, was very dismissive, and instead of helping me kept saying "How did that happen to you...it's so weird," basically trying to shame me for the problem I was having. Then, instead of helping me, she took a swab of my skin to send to the lab. Then, she literally just put a bandaid on my skin and sent me on my way. For a bandaid and a swab, I was charged $88. And just now I got another surprise bill for $21.90. Over $100 just for some rude, dismissive, and frankly mean doctor to literally swab my skin, slap a bandaid on, and call it a day. Avoid this doctor at all costs, she doesn't help you, and she only tries to squeeze money out of your visit. I saw her for a grand total of about 5 minutes. She literally doesn't care if she helps you or not, it's just a money squeeze. I thought doctors were supposed to help people, but not this one. I had to go to a proper doctor a week later to actually fix my problem. This was a horrible experience with Dr. Alvarez, avoid going to her. read more

They are not flexible. Attitudes and won't work with you.. Will not wait more than 10 minutes for you.. Just a money grab. No real customer service. read more

Great office, wonderful and very professional examination.. have been coming for years,,,but still no donuts

I came for an annual dermatological checkup. I live in Miami Beach. The office is speedy and well run and Dr Alvarez is great. I was attended by an assistant Jessie. Dr Alvarez went over every part of my body including my butt in my genitals (very properly) and made observations that were both educational and reassuring. I learned and felt assured and comforted. You rock Dr. A! read more

These guys (ahem...gals) are spot on. South Beach is awash with lame medical services so when you find those who are not only great BUT also friendly you want to share it with other locals. A bit of unique perspective here as someone with a medical background (17 years of direct patient treatment) as well as 10 years on the medical management/consulting side. From both perspectives, this practice, Doc, and team get an A++. To name just a few: **On top of the science and evidence. Not relying on outdated information. **Will explain the technical stuff to you in terms you'll understand. **Not pushy with selling. **Friendly and smiling. **No surprises on what you'll need to pay. 100% accurate estimates at the time of service (Earth to Mt. Sinai, yes this is possible!). **Super clean environment. No medical smells. **Appointments run on time, What else could you possible want in a dermatology office?!? read more

Thanks to fellow Yelpers advice, I booked an appointment with Dr Alvarez prior to a recent trip to Miami. The main purpose for my visit was a Botox touch up (hush, stop judging me), but I also wanted her to check out a mole on my neck that a different dermatologist told me I needed removed. The other derm had refused to remove the mini mole for fear of scaring and referred me to plastic surgeon (which seemed a bit aggressive considering its size). However, Dr Alvarez said that she could easily remove the mole with minimal to no scarring. I was beyond freaked out about the procedure but Dr Alvarez calmly talked me through the removal. Six months later, I have no trace of a scar (or an ugly mole) and, of course, religiously now apply SPF 35+ to my entire body. My Botox and the mole removal turned out fab. I love Dr Alvarez and her amazing skills will ensure that I continue to visit her whenever I'm back in the Miami area. read more

Based on ALL you great Yelpers & your reviews,I decided to try Dr.Alvarez for my new go to Doc for dermal fillers I've just relocated to Miami Beach,& as another YELPER said ' she was in my neighborhood ' What a FIND! I'm VERY fussy about dermal fillers.. & DR.Alvarez is quite simply..THE BEST I'VE BEEN TO! All those hi priced Docs in Beverly Hills!!! LOOKOUT..HERE COMES MARCY! Her demeanor is great,she's REALLY SMART & really knows her stuff!! Prices are very fair too! Gonna try the hydrofacial right before the holidays ( I hear Joey is terrific at them!!) stay tuned !! THANKS YELPERS!!! You got THIS one SO RIGHT!! read more

I saw Dr. Alvarez three times over the past few years. This last time, I didn't feel like I received her focused medical attention, nor the time before. She overlooked or didn't comment on something on my back, which greatly bothered my husband. During the visit she informed me she doesn't bill insurance for (some or all) mole removals. She had a cash Price List taped to her wall. I've never paid cash for a mole removal. Cigna and BCBS cover mole removal in all cases. She and I had a little debate over it. I came to my own conclusion for the policy change and the shift in focus. Since that last appointment, I saw a different dermatologist to look at my back again and remove two moles. My insurance covered his fee and the lab fee. read more

Came in to get a biopsy done on my skin. I hate going to the doctor, I especially hate it when I know something is wrong. Dr. Marcie was kind and explained what she was doing and what could be the outcome. The PA that first saw me was kind and knowledgeable as well. The entrance to the office is through the back of the building not off Lincoln road mall. I made an appointment same day and am a cash patient. The price is very reasonable and what I expected. The lab and visit is all lumped into one sum. I waited very short time to be seen after arriving at my appointment, a huge plus as so many doctors do not respect the value of time but only theirs. The office is super clean n modern. Results came back within 2 days so the agonizing wait is minimal. The office explained the results what next is to be done and recommendations. The quoted me prices as well if the office was to do certain procedure themselves which was very reasonable as well. As long as you ask the questions you will be answered and not felt rushed. Definitely would recommend this office for your derm needs and everyone go get a full body check up we do love the beach! read more

My skin has never looked better. The entire team at Lincoln Road Dermatology is outstanding. It feels more like a spa than a doctor's office. It's tastefully decorated and Dr. Alvarez and the staff are so wonderful, easy going and helpful. I've had a few skin issues (body and face) and right away Dr. Alvarez knew what it was and how to fix it. I also had the hydra facial and the next day my skin looked PERFECT. I was somewhat in disbelief, even my roommate said my skin looked the best it ever did and I've known her for 5 years. Overall, they're professional, friendly and just great energy all around. They also give free samples and coupons for products! In addition to facials, they also do laser hair removal and botox. If you need a dermatologist for medical or cosmetic purposes, this the one! read more

Service: probably the most important part. From the receptionist to Dr. Alvarez, the whole team is great. As a working gal, it's always hard to schedule those derm visits - they are so accommodating and great. Laser: I purchased the laser package for my underarm and bikini area. I am SO happy. Yes, it is significantly more expensive than buying a groupon, but it shows real results. I'm on my fourth session and I am so happy with it. The best part is that it is relatively painless... and if you're in pain, they give you a stress ball and an ice pack to make it all better. Facials: I just got my first hydrofacial. My skin looks great and I am very happy with the results. I also picked up a bottle of Latisse here. The office is really nice and clean. The doctor is helpful, open and honest. I love coming back because they're always excited to see me and eager to help. Highly recommended. read more

Have continued to come to Lincoln Rd Derm - always excellent. Everyone at the office is pleasant and Dr. Alvarez is always straight up and honest about what to expect. It is the only place I would go for my skin care upkeep!! read more
