A few years ago, I had Mohs surgery on my nose at Schweiger Dermatology for basal cell carcinoma…read more Before the procedure, I was told I might have a scar--but what I ended up with felt more like a disfigurement (see photos. The crater on my nose is from the surgery). Right after the surgery, I was handed a plastic surgeon's business card and told I'd need reconstruction. Recently, I was diagnosed with basal cell carcinoma again. This time, I chose a facility in New York that has both a Mohs surgeon and a plastic surgeon on-site, hoping for a better outcome. I asked Schweiger to forward my biopsy results to the new facility a week ago. I've left multiple voicemails and emails--but haven't heard back. This is cancer, and time matters. The lack of response is upsetting and unacceptable. I wonder if they've lost my records or won't send them because I've chosen a different provider. As you may imagine, I can't recommend Schweiger Dermatology based on my experience.

Avoid Schweiger Dermatology - Poor Billing Practices and Cold Service…read more I went to Schweiger twice. The first time, they resolved my scalp hair loss issue--effective treatment. The second time, I had skin tags removed. The procedure was quick and healed well, though it left a small scar. I can live with that. But the experience beyond treatment was frustrating: The doctor was clinical and brief. No real discussion, no clear explanation of what he planned to do. Just in and out. Billing was a nightmare. I paid $175 upfront, then got billed $64 again for the same visit. After submitting proof and being told I'd get a refund, I was contacted again a month later--no record of my payment, no record of my submission. I had to threaten legal action just to get someone to take it seriously. They scheduled another procedure but refused to give a cost estimate until after surgery. That's unacceptable and feels like a setup for surprise billing. I've since switched clinics. The new place is transparent, professional, and respectful. Schweiger may get the job done medically, but the lack of communication and shady billing practices make it a hard no for me.
