In addition to skin checks and dermatological issues, I have gotten Botox, chemical peels, & laser hair removal treatments and I appreciate that she has never tried to over sell me on any of those things.

She gave me a big, long hug and took the time to sit and talk with me. That meant the world to me. At one point she has some issues finding quality staff to work for her so please don't let that deter you from seeing her as a physician. That's not her fault. I highly recommend using her as a dermatologist.

I made an appointment for my teenage son at the Verona, NJ location because he needed treatment for…read moreacne. Unfortunately, the experience was extremely disappointing and upsetting. Dr. Natalie Lau, the physician assistant, came into the room wearing a mask and examined my son from a distance. She never came closer to him and appeared to evaluate his skin from approximately a foot away. She asked him a couple of questions and then prescribed medication. That was essentially the entire visit. As a parent, I found the interaction incredibly unprofessional and upsetting, but what bothered me even more was the impact it had on my teenage son. When a young person is already self-conscious about their skin, they deserve to feel that their doctor is comfortable, attentive, and genuinely interested in helping them. Instead, my son was left feeling as though the provider was uncomfortable being near him. A good healthcare provider should establish trust and a connection with their patients, especially when treating teenagers. Patients should never feel as though they are being treated as something to be avoided or feared. If a provider is uncomfortable getting close enough to properly examine a patient's skin, perhaps this is the wrong profession or, at the very least, the wrong setting for them. I expected a professional, compassionate, and thorough evaluation, and unfortunately, that was not what we received.

Over the years, Dr. Rabner has removed many precancerous moles and a melanoma. It was caught and removed early and I am grateful for her thoroughness and expertise.

It is just over a year ago I underwent removal of a cancerous growth on my scalp that had to be…read moresealed with a skin graft from my stomach all because Dr Rabner, who examined the open, burst cyst on my head that turned cancerous three times in the decade prior kept telling me "NOTHING could be done." First time she just ignored it, addressing a separate problem, and when I mentioned that I had come about the cyst too, got a simple shrug. Second time went to her because she is who I was sent by a GP and she had such good reviews and I thought perhaps because I was really there for other issue that first time I would get better results with a second visit. This time Dr. Rabner went into a long, medical explanation this about why NOTHING could be done even asking, "well what's bothering you?" My response, "having an open sore on my head doctor!" launched her into a steroid treatment that time. (Third visit with her was also about another issue she didn't fix, but I was sure to mention the sore again and have it ignored again) Her response should have been to explain at first visit, over a decade back, that dermatologists don't do removals from the scalp, which is what another dermatologist finally told me, referring me to a surgeon who did the initial cyst removal in his office less than a week after my first visit with him. If that had happened 10 years prior I would've avoided cancer, anesthesia, a skin graft, and a permanent bald patch and dent in my head. Do NOT trust this doctor.

I would NOT recommend going to Vital Aesthetics. Anytime you schedule an appointment, it gets…read morecanceled and then rescheduled multiple times. This is what happened to me. When I finally got an appointment to come in (that wasn't canceled), I waited awhile in the waiting area to see the dermatologist. The receptionist was nice and friendly however I did notice she was calling a lot of clients to cancel their appointments and then reschedule them. The interior of the place is nicely decorated with chic decor and chill music playing. I notice some of the other staff weren't as friendly or welcoming towards me which is disappointing as a new client. When I finally met with the dermatologist and her assistant, they definitely rushed through the consultation and didn't spend enough adequate time to truly listen to my concerns. I suspect they were in a rush since she they were dealing with another patient in another room. I wish they could have really listened to my concerns and made me feel more seen as a patient. I did get some skincare samples which was alright. Overall, it's not worth going to Vital Aesthetics especially if you have any dermatological concerns. I will DEFINITELY look for a new dermatology office and won't be coming back to this place since my experience with them was lackluster, frustrating and unimpressive. The place is so disorganized and messy especially when it comes to scheduling appointments. This place is not worth the time or money at all.

I usually arrive a few hours before my appointment time, so I have no complaints about wait times. I first became a patient of Dr. Downie 16 years ago when I was living in NJ and her office was at another location in Montclair. I needed a doctor who specializes in the treatment of African skin, which easily scars and hyperpigments. A few customers in my hair braider's shop recommended her. Dr. Downie successfully treated my melasma because I have not since had a recurrence. Dr. Downie is both my medical and cosmetic dermatologist. I drive over and hour and a half from Eastern Long Island to see her. She has performed on me many cosmetic procedures, which beautify my skin. I use the skin and hair products she recommends. My scars have reduced significantly, and my hair is now growing like wildfire. I have never received more compliments from strangers about my image. All staff are friendly and professional. I will continue patronizing Image Dermatology because of the stellar treatment that I get here.

This is for my 2016 experience in this clinic. 2…read moreappointments in 2 weeks, both early Monday mornings First appointment: I got confused and came 1 hour 30 mins early. Even though I have an appointment, I didn't know my school needed a full physical exam, so they clinic had to do an unscheduled physical exam, which they normally don't do. So I appreciated that. Total time: 2 hours Second appointment: I arrived 15 mins early for a follow up. I agree with the other reviews below about the front desk's attitude. Both times I said hi after coming through the door, neither of the front desk girls said hello. No one said to have a seat, to sign in or to fill out any form. First time, I put my name on the sign in list and I knew I was a new patient so I started filling out a new patient form (because like I said, no one was even acknowledging my presence). Boy, that's got the girl UNHAPPY that I was jumping the gun. Well excuse me for doing what I was supposed to do. Second time, no "hello" but at least I got a "thank you" for the co-pay. I used to work in a doctors office so I know what's up, and I also know it's tough if you're real busy and ppl don't treat you right. So, I forgive them, but I'm giving them a low review still because the massive amount of attitude they hand out to other patients. Surprisingly, when I was in with Dr. Schmalz and his assistant, they tried really hard to accommodate my unscheduled physical exam and took care of everything. I was amazed and felt very "loved." There was no rushing or rudeness. The doctor and the nurse seemed to know each other for a long time so between themselves there's a type of communication that would take a stranger some getting-used-to. Between themselves, they're gonna sound like they're mad at you for just being there, but they really are not because when they talk to you, they're really nice. So, don't be intimidated. If you want to use this clinic, I highly recommend coming in earlier in the day.

After being a patient of Image Dermatology for over 3 years, I am saddened to write this review. I…read morehave been a patient of Megan and always found her to be a thorough and professional provider. I've had some recent concerns and called the office to schedule an appointment with Dr. Downie as she had closer availability. I received TWO text message confirmations for my appointment prior to and one email confirmation ( all attached below). I arrived to my appointment today and was told they " couldn't find my appointment", that I could be seen however there were 6 people ahead of me which would result in over an hour and a half wait before I was seen. I expressed to the office that while I anticipated a wait, 1.5 hours was well beyond an acceptable wait time. I am an understanding person and have no problem waiting 30 minutes beyond my appointment time, even 45 minutes if there is an emergency however, 1.5 hours is nothing but a reflection of poor office management. Additionally, as my appointment was confirmed but somehow not coming up in the system, I asked for reasonable accommodations from the office. I did everything correct as a patient : I confined my appointment, I arrived early to my appointment and remained respectful in communicating my concerns. I requested, as the error was on the office and not myself, to be seen later today at 3:30. Again, reasonable accommodation request considering I showed the office proof that my appointment was confined by their system. The only options provided to me were to see Megan on another day and time or to see Dr. Downie during her next open appointment which was at 5:00 pm today. When I expressed that 5pm didn't not work as I needed to head to work that time, I was offered to come at my requested 3:30pm time and wait 1.5 hours to be seen... so still 5:00pm. Very unprofessional and quite frankly rude. I'm not sure about this office, but I'm sure in business and healthcare, when a error is made by the practice, it is then their responsibility to fix the error without additional inconvenience to the patron. Late appointments are cancelled and cancelled appointments result in a $100 fee so there is a communicated expectation of respecting the doctors time, however this same expectation of respect for time is not given to patients. I gave this dermatologist office two stars purely for Megan, however this practice has lost me and my future additional referrals as a client.
