Cured my acne - Check Gave me great botox throughout years & I mean years. Juvaderm once or twice. Removed my two tattoos. Long overdue from a patient that is vain, a perfectionist and has driven him crazy for roughly 12 years now. Now I have to follow him in the city. read more

Great Doctor....calm surrounding, nice staff. One on One attention. Dr. listened to your problem. Been seeing him for about 20 years now. read more

Dr Westfried scared my face in 5 places with a Lazer he used for Rosacea. The.machine was rented and I know this because wheni arrived there 10 minutes late he said I gotta hurry I pay by the hour. He proceeded to Lazer my face and pressed the Lazer into.my skin and caused it.to bleed which I thought its the procedure. I had/ have Rosacea it causes pink/flushed skin and then white- hole scars from the result of the Lazer. Fast forward, I'm older now my skin lost laxity and have 5 deep white holes. He apologized and attempted.to fix the damage by doing microdermabrasion, it didn't fix anything. I should have sued him. Do your homework and move on to the best Dr you can find, read the reviews, ask friends who they use and good.luck. read more

Very sorry to hear the good doctor passed away. He did not have the best bed side manner at times but he knew his business very well and helped thousands of patients over his long career in medicine. Thank you! Al B read more

Dr Morris acts like people should worship the ground he walks on. He has zero patience for his patients even if you are waiting over an hour to see him. I tried to describe my skin condition and he just shushed me and told me to take of my shirt already. He always acts like you are wasting his time and he makes sure you feel that. The who consult took 2 min and left the room without allowing me to ask him questions. I highly recommend not seeing him and get a better doctor. read more

I've been to Dr. W's twice at this location. The first time I was so pleased with my no fuss visit. He took off a mole and prescribed a cream in 5 minutes. Today, I waited 50 minutes. (I don't mind waiting, I understand offices overbook sometimes) But I was seen for 1 minute and left. My skin didnt improve with the previous cream and I told the lady that. She wrote something on a piece of paper. When the doctor finally came in, he just prescribed the same thing to me again, because apparently for acne scars, its laser treatments or this one damn cream. And he knew I couldn't afford the laser treatments. I wasn't even complaining about acne scars.. I was complaining about the actual goshdarn acne. Unless you're in for a cosmetic procedure or something super serious... you're visit will probably only last for 5 minutes. Which can be good or bad. read more

I can only speak for my experience. I can't speak for how your experience may go. This is going back over a decade ago, before Yelp even existed, but for some reason Dr. Westfried just popped in my mind now so I thought I should write this. I had several black ink tattoos I needed to get rid of. They weren't the deepest or darkest tattoos, but they were conspicuous enough. I went for a consultation with Westfried at his 15th Avenue Brooklyn office and he made it clear to me that there were no guarantees the tattoos would come out. We agreed to start laser sessions and lo and behold, the tattoos began fading and they kept fading. After quite a few sessions (I forget exactly how many) the three black tattoos were for all practical intents and purposes, gone. I also had a couple of other larger very black, very deep tattoos which fortunately were in inconspicuous places. Westfried was upfront about those, saying they wouldn't fade the same way the smaller shallow ones did. Granted the technology may have changed since then. All in all I was very lucky to find Dr. Westfried--he removed several tattoos I really needed removed in a reasonable time and for a reasonable price. read more

Misdiagnosed me basal cell carcinoma. I believed him because I heard he was a good doctor and it took me five years to get diagnosed with the cancer. Luckily it wasn't life-threatening but still I'm so disappointed in him actually I'm disappointed in all doctors these days. They don't have to be Marcus Welby but they can be a little more astute. read more

Extremely knowledgeable and thorough. He was very helpful and correct with his diagnosis. I've recommended him to my friends and family. read more

Went to see him 2014 he's a great dr wish I knew where his new office is located he used to have his office on Neptune in brooklyn. He so pleasant and friendly. read more

This guy is horrible! I went to him twice. The wait time wasn't bad either time, but he isn't personable at all. The first time I went for a biopsy to see if I had skin cancer from a cut that wasn't healing. Other than him not being personable the first visit was ok. The second visit (1/17/14) is where I have my gripes. He gets the biopsy back and it concludes I have skin cancer (BCC). He tells me he doesn't know how deep it is so he is sending me to another doctor for MOHs surgery. Then he proceeds to rip the scab off of my face and then puts cotton on it with two bandaids that don't stay on. I get home and the cotton is stuck to my face. I try to take it off with some warm water and no matter how gentle I do it, it starts to bleed. So now the real problem comes into effect. I call the place I need to go for surgery and make an appointment. They tell me I need the biopsy paper which was sent to them and a referral from Westfried in order for my insurance to pay for the surgery. Westfriend didn't mention anything about a referral and says the biopsy paper would be enough. So I have to go back and forth between places on the phone. I called Westfried 6 times over the last week for a referral and they have given me the run around. Friday (1/24/14) his secretary said they would send the referral to the place I'm going. I call them again today (1/27/14) and the place says they didn't get the referral. Why is it so hard for this guy to send a referral to the place HE referred me to? I have surgery in 2 days (1/29/14) and this guy STILL hasn't sent the referral after me contacting him numerous times!!! He should have given me a referral on my second visit when he referred me to another doctor. This is ridiculous!!! I'm never going back to this guy! I'm surprised he still has a practice. read more

Great doctor, quick and to the point. And frankly to be fair, he is a dermatologist. I don't really need him for much else other than to look at stuff and prescribe me things I know I need. His visits are about 3-5 minutes long depending on if you need something more invasive done (like a removal of something. Tip: you'll be waiting. A long time, about 15-20 minutes from your appointment time. Bring your phone, a game or a magazine. read more

I been going to Morris Westfried MD since 1980. Far as I am concern he is a great doctor I know sometimes he seems to be in a rush and does not sit down and talk. But far as I am concern I like a doctor that gets right to the point. As i write this today I live in Las vegas and i am going to make an appointment with him so on my return to NY I can see him read more

I love going to this guy! He's quick and he knows what he's doing. He's super friendly and was really helpful in telling me what do in order to get insurance. He cuts to the chase. Being from New York I have zero patience. Instead of charging me for extra things, he gave me samples of a cream to try out. The girls at the desk even gave me a coupon if I want to fill out a prescription and get more of the product. I just wanted to add a review because I really like Going to this office, and it's rare That you find good doctors or offices these days! read more

Oh Dr. Westfied...what to say, what to say. I've been going to Dr. Westfriend for the past hmmm I'd say 8 years? And yes, everyones reviews are correct. You will always wait MUCH longer than he sees you. And he normally sees you for about 5 mins TOPS. Which took me a really really really long time to accept. Unless you are doing laser or something like that, don't expect to be seen for longer than 5mins. Here is what he does well: he doesn't bullshit you. It is what it is and he has no problem telling you that. If your insurance only covers the shitty medication that wont really help, he has no problem telling you "I'll give you this cream, but it probably wont work". His problem is that he doesnt explain himself, so naturally anyone will react to that last statement in confusion like "why is he giving it to me then!?" He is not the worst, let's get that straight and clear - - but he could try to be nicer and more personable. The receptionist are mixed, some are really sweet, some are nasty and rude. Depends who you get that day. read more

Think Dr. Doom, think Dr. Strangelove then think Dr. Westfried. This is your dermatologist of last resort. If you want to be seen promptly and that's all that matters this is doctor to see. Of course, that is if you don't mind being rushed out 3 minutes later. Saw him a while back. I came to check on a suspicious spot. He quickly took a pair of scissors and cut a piece of skin off. Then with me bleeding profusely onto my shirt he explained that he wanted to get it tested. When asked a question he ran out of the room and his assistant ushered me into the waiting area. End of visit. read more

My sister recommended this doctor to me saying that every time she had to see him, she had the best possible result and experience. I went to see this doctor on kinda an emergency basis (since the office of the random doc I saw a week ago on Saturday was simply closed today, Wednesday). Dr. Westfried was about to leave when I came in as a walk-in, an entirely new patient. And while I was handed a pack of forms to fill out, he took me to his office before I got to filling them out, heard me out about my problem, and even though he had a different hypothesis about my condition, he trusted me enough to go with what I said I had (poison ivy acting out after the medication I had to curtail it ran out and so it wasn't fully treated) and prescribed me the same med (which always worked for me in this situation) and for more days than it is usually given, hearing that my experience was such as I needed to be in this medication longer than would be enough for most people.) I really appreciate doctors who listen to their patients and trust them; after all nobody knows our bodies and experiences while we are ill better then ourselves, and the less are mapped to a stereotype which is then gets treated, the better the care we receive, the more customized it is and effective. I do not mean to say that doctors should just take their patient's word and prescribe what a patient asks; we go to doctors for their expertise, judgement and interpretation of our symptoms, but our history of dealing with the same or similar conditions, and medications should be taken in consideration and is very important for defining the treatment. This type of commitment to communication with the patients is paramount and is unfortunately very hard to find these days. read more

Went here to get my tattoo removed. What an amazing experience.. Office staff was so nice and knowledgable. Pricing was low. Best part is the tattoo is gone and you can't tell I ever had it!!! Thanks Dr. Westfried! read more

Best doctor ever. We love him. He gets to the bottom of the problem from the moment he looks at it. People say he is cold!! Well I don't care how his personality is. I care that he is respectful and excellent doctor. read more

Dr. Westfried is an artist and I love my experience with him each time. He has been doing my Botox for years and has not only eliminated lines and wrinkles from my face but improved the texture and quality of the skin as well. Everyone I have referred him has thanked me over and over. The best part is his injections are fast and painless! read more

After many years of dealing with psoriasis, and going through multiple doctors I found Doctor Morris Westfried, and I am very grateful that I did! This doctor knows exactly what he is talking about and has helped me find treatments for my psoriasis this past year that no other doctor has helped me with. I've had doctors tell me my psoriasis is just pimples!!! I highly recommend him for anybody suffering with psoriasis. read more

Some complain that Dr Westfried spends only few minutes with them... well, he does not need to spend more. He diagnose , he does what needs to be done, he prescribes meds and he goes to the next patient. he is not your psychiatrist to hear the story of your life. I know him for 13 years and I do have random skin conditions now and then, I should say once or twice a year. And guess what ... any time I see him he helps my conditions go away. What else should I expect from specialist? And John, yes if you are overweight and diabetic you will see surprises on your skin and if doctor tells you that, that is not rudeness that is doctor trying to help you. read more

I agree with other reviewers in saying that visits usually do feel very rushed. But this doc knows his stuff and treats everything from skin cancer to acne. He's the most knowledgeable skin doctor in NYC you wil. l have been going to him since i am 18, I am now 32. He cured my cyctic acne when 5 other docs had no clue how to treat me at all!! I do agree that his bedside manner leaves a lot to be desired, for sure. But that is a small sacrifice for great treatments. I no longer have acne but I do go to him still for skin check ups and am going to also see him for some stretch mark removal which I hear is very effective. I only give him 4 not 5 stars because he def does need to spend a bit longer with patients, esp. if they have questions. read more

I think people need to be a little more careful with the way they comment on someone's livelihood. After reading the only reviews left here it seems to me that these people were looking for a psychologist rather than a very efficient no fuss doctor. I've gone to Dr. Westfried 3 times so far for my tattoo removal. I keep going to him for: 1) his credentials, 2) the results being seen, 3) the fact that he didn't nickle and dime me like everywhere else I looked into tried to do, 4) he uses way more methods of comfort care to help take the pain away during the lasers than other centers do (ie: numbing injections, cool air, asking if he needs to stop, etc) and 5) plain and simple because he does what needs to be done (extremely well), and then we both go our separate ways. If you had enough hugs as a child then he's the doc for you. If not, go anyway and get over it. I also love the PA there, she is a sweet woman who makes me like her even while she is poking me with 13 numbing needles. I also never have a problem getting an appointment or communicating with the office. read more

I went to Dr. Westfried for face rejuvenation as i was very unhappy with the puppet lines around my mouth. He recommended Juvederm. He did the filler over a period of time so that i had a chance to see the improvement litlle by little and to stop when happy with the results. My skin looks so refreshed and natural. I am extremely thrilled with the end result.! I will be back to him for other types of facial rejuvenations he does as a face lift is not an option. read more

I've been to Dr. Westfried for Laser Hair Removal quite a few times, his laser wasn't for my skin type and he continued to use the laser on my skin knowing that it wasn't the laser that was supposed to be used..He continued taking my money and using the wrong laser..I told him the laser wasn't working for my skin, he finally then told me the type of laser I needed, he didn't have that in his office....THIS DOCTOR IS SUCH A RIP OFF!!!!!!!!!! read more

I would give this doctor a negative five if I could. This man destroyed my face with his laser treatment. I now have more scars, discoloration, cystic acne and fat loss. I have been to other dermatologists and a burn specialist after he performed the laser procedure for scar removal. I was told the settings he used were too high especially for my skin tone.There is nothing I can do to repair this, I might have to see a plastic surgeon. I have been living a nightmare since. I don't want to leave the house anymore. This man took an oath to practice medicine ethically and honestly. He only cares about the money. DON'T TRUST HIM WITH YOUR FACE. read more

i'm laughing as I read all of these negative reviews about Dr. Westfried...because I think he is a top notch dermotologist!!!...I've been using him for about 20 years now...& he knows his stuff!!!...I've brought my kids to him & my husband as well...When my husband had a unique case of psoriasis about 15 years ago...even the top doctors at NYU were baffled as what to do...but guess what Dr. Westfried knew what would work...yes some of his tactics & recommendations are aggressive...but they do work!!!...We highly regard him in this field!!! read more

Dr. Westfried is the best! I have been seeing him since I was teenager, about 15 years now. My family have been patients of his for a long time too. I normally don't write reviews but in this case I felt it appropriate. Recently a friend of mine went to another dermatologist for a suspicious mole. The doctors said it was nothing and not to worry. I told my friend to go for a second opinion. It wasn't nothing. It was skin cancer. Dr westfried took care of it. Highly recommend Dr Westfried. He's extremely knowledgable and really cares. read more
