Firstly, I reviewed this facilitator before but my review mysteriously disappeared. The office manager called me and asked me to rescind my review. After speaking with him I couldn't find my review. I went to this doctor complaining of unexplained hair loss and an unexplained rash. The technician i think she was actually a physicians assistant offered no diagnosis ordered no labs and then with a shrug suggested otc products. Turns out I had a tumor that was secreting testosterone the cause for my hair loss. A simple blood test could have easily diagnosed the problem. read more

I called for an appointment. It took them 5 days to call back. On phone they did not think my insurance would cover the $10,000 cost of a very small squamous cell carcinoma removal WTF? and that i should go somewhere else. They did not even bother to check with my insurance company, BlueCrossBlueShield... STAY AWAY FROM THIS AWFUL DOCTOR OFFICE. All they care about is MONEY MONEY MONEY and NOTHING ELSE and you won't even get to talk to a doctor only some stupid PA or less. read more

This place would have KILLED MY MOTHER! As it is, they RUINED her life! Because of their continued MISDIAGNOSIS, she has had to have extensive surgery, 2 skin grafts on her head. (She is now bald on half of her head); radiation and 2 types of immunotherapy. She has had so much pain for years, all because they wouldn't listen! Mom had a mole that she was concerned about. The PA at Park Ave. kept telling her it was nothing. She went back 3 times in 18 months because it continued to grow. Every time, the PA refused to biopsy it and told Mom "It is nothing and it never will be." Finally, she went to Precision Dermatology and saw Dr. Shvartzman. He said "We need to biopsy this." He did. It WAS CANCER which had now spread all of the way to her skull! Her whole life now is oncologist appointments, immunotherapy appointments, pet scans, blood tests; and now pulmonologist and a pain doctor because of side effects from the treatment. ALL of this COULD HAVE BEEN PREVENTED if the PA would have simply done a biopsy! I am so angry that this irresponsible PA ruined my mother's life! She was so vital before this. read more

Don't waste your money. For a full body check-up, they kept me covered up and only looked at my ankles and back! Plus I was told I would be seen by a doctor and it was a PA, without notice! Honestly my husband checks me better than that!!!!!! Now I have to find another dermatologist and take time off work again AND pay all over!!!! read more

I admit, I should have read the reviews FIRST! Now I am so frustrated and feel like I was tricked!! Rather than go over all the details, I'll just cut to the bottom line. I feel that I experienced a "bait-and-switch" technique when dealing with Dr. Schmieder (Sr.) on my procedures and costs thereof. As I read Epiphany T's review of September 8 (from just two weeks ago!!), yes, "finessed" is a good word! A few supporting details - To manage my out-of-pocket expenses, I decided I would visit several practices and get their assessment and quote to remove a BCC from the tip of my nose. My first stop was PAD and I told Dr. Schmeider (Sr.) I was shopping to get quotes. He immediately began hyping how he would remove the spot and "fix" the little scar on the side of my nose for a flat $1000. Of course, "wow, fix the scar too, sure, let's do that". After the procedure and follow-up, the story changed to "oh, your nose looks great just how it is, we don't need to go back to remove the scar". Hmm... Ok, so I didn't make a big stink about it, but I have a REALLY good memory! Next time around I get a full body exam and it was determined that I needed three spots removed and they quoted me two Mohs and one scrape for $1,401. I said, I'm sorry, I can't afford that and asked if they would accept $1,000 for all three, after a call back, they confirmed the $1,000 for all three, there words were "everything included". When I got there for the treatment, it was determined that I only needed one Mohs and two scrapes. So, I'm thinking, ok, no problem, I agreed to the price and I stand by it. As I was leaving the office and scheduling my return for the removal of sutures, I was told I owe another $350. Of course, I objected and said they need to research the previous agreement and we can settle this during my next visit. An hour later I receive a VM saying the remaining balance is $355 and if I don't pay, it will be sent to collections. WOW! That's a giant leap from "good morning darling" to "you're a deadbeat" (so to speak). There's much more to the story, but I think this is enough for now. To be FAIR, Dr. Schmeider (Jr.) strikes me as a fine person who I connected well with and the support staff that I interacted with were great. The lady who did the sutures did the best I've ever seen! Interestingly, they have 23 reviews on Yelp, 10 are 1 star and 8 are only 2. I'm no math genius, but my estimate comes to more than 80% are negative reviews. And Dr. Schmeider (Sr.) said in his 20 years at the practice he had never heard of such issues. Hmm... Incidentally, when I asked the Dr. about a price sheet, he said they didn't have one. Hmm... Bottom line: READ THE REVIEWS, if everything goes well for you, that's great, but at least you go into this establishment fully informed and with your guard up!! read more

Could not have been happier with the care and concern of Park Avenue dermatology. Recently had Mohs surgery for basal cell cancer on my face and was quite concerned what the scar would look like Well. the scar is almost nonexistent only a week later ....thank you Park Avenue dermatology!!!! read more

Previously have seen a few different Dr's, ARNP's & PA's there and all of them have been great & professonal! Been going there for years and they are always super considerate & helpful! Really like P.A. Mrs. Yancey. She is very thorough on skin checks and extremely good at working with people. She discussed & explained all the options with me on my removal issues and was so kind and patient with my concerns and questions. read more

My two teenage sons and I have been patients at Park Avenue Dermatology for well over 13 years and we have always been so pleased with their doctors, PA's, NP's, and nursing staff. We have seen several professionals , including Dr. Schmieder himself, and he is a true genius in the Dermatology and Aesthetic Industries. They are so intelligent, caring, and thorough. Their office uses state of the art medical tools and technology. We have seen them for a rare wart, normal and systemic acne, severe dermatitis and more. They have never let us down, always got us back to our healthy 100% selves! Their rates are fair and they work with our Insurance wonderfully. We are very happy patients...and won't go anywhere else... One last bit, Adilen Dillingham, PA-C, is our new fave doctor there! She is so caring and smart, takes time with us in the examination room, and fixed my terrible acne cysts in a week and a half! read more

: Your automated phone prompts are hurting more than they're helping. "I really needed to talk to someone because my problem was complicated, but when I called the customer service number, I had to go through all these prompts that got me nowhere. And after all that, I still had no answer to my question. This is after 2 days. Finding a different doctor asap. Don't waste your time going here. read more

An embarrassing condition led me to this office. The staff here made me feel at ease about my self consciousness. Emma and Dr Robinson are the best! read more

I was referred to this dermatologist office by my primary care physician because I have a small growth under my skin that needs to be removed as it's causing itchiness & pain. My physician told me to "Just leave it alone" then after my insistence she agreed to refer me out..but not before she glared at me and said "If they even will do it" She was right. My first visit I was finessed and fast talked by the dr without so much as a complete exam. I was told take these scripts and if it's not gone in 3 months we will do a biopsy. Let me mention all the amazing meds he mentioned were never prescribed or given as samples. I received some basic triancinalone cream that did nothing. Next visit different dr...I was told due to the location I would need to see an ENT to make sure nothing else is going on. That could have been assessed at the first visit. I feel like these physicians are milking the insurance companies because this could have been taken care of but all these unnecessary visits and copays and nothing has been done and it's almost a year now is ridiculous. Finding another dermatologists office. read more

I had an appointment am I am disabled which takes me 2-3 hours to get ready. I had an appointment and was running a little late. I called and was told not to worry. I arrived 17 minutes late, there office said I was over 15 minutes late . The DR refused to see me I would never recommend this office to anybody to treat a Handy capped person this way. read more

I had 3 mo. of treatment/expenses when a biopsy test was done for an answer. Should't the test have been done 1ST? What a waste of time & money(imagine what insurance paid to the practice). Then I reached out to the "director of personal" to address this issue in house and get back to me with a resolution. I have never spoken to him since. Another example of how inadequate both medical and administrative services are. I'm going to another practice, I suggest you do the same. read more

So... I was feeling like this location, and the PA-C I was seeing were a good fit. Until the other day that is. I have been asked to return every 3-4 months due to the fact that I have so many miles and freckles. Miss Lee also said for me to let the front desk know whenever I make an appointment, to ensure it is a longer one, so she has enough time to spend with me. Ok fine. Well first, front desk usually gives me pushback, saying all appointments are the same amount of time. That's fine, I'm just doing what I've been asked to do. I had my check-up this past Thursday, and I am still reeling from it. First, they had a student doctor come in right away, without asking if I was comfortable with that. But she acted like I was the creature from the black lagoon during her "inspection" of me. It was like she was tossed out by my skin. Then Miss Lee came in, and I figured ok great, she can show this uppity chick how it's done. Nope. They discussed in front of me just how "moley" I am, with Moss Lee commenting "I know! The first time I examined her, I was like I need a shot of bourbon afterwards!" Then she, the student doc, and nurse all snickered. I was stunned. Absolutely stunned. I didn't realize that examining my skin was such a chore for you. I assumed that is what you were here to do. She barely checked my chest and stomach, which I may add, she has removed moles from before, and they quickly left the room. And almost as quickly, I am done with Park Avenue Dermatology. This isn't junior high school people. Do your job, and if you must mock me, do it out of ear shot, and on your own time. SMH read more

My experience at the North Florida office with radiology tech Jeanette was awesome. 20 doses of radiation. She was very kind and well versed My experience with PA Ms. Lee has been great as well. All in all a very positive experience! read more

I had a horrible time with this place ' A horrible scar to boot ' the surgery took about 3 an half hours 4 or 5 rounds of needles in the face one time cause they waited too long before the doctor came back in my face was not numb now more ' No papers that tell me how to take care of my wound ' Called back to ask and left them a message to call so I would know ( no call back ) showed up to remove the stitches' no nurse or doc saw me A person said sh was the one they had taking the stitches out that day Soo I told her get ahead she cannot be next worst than the others So out of all this the young lady who was going in the reserves did a good job taking out my 25 stitches' Not once did anyone call to see how I was doing ' What a bunch of non caring somewhat incapable people read more

Dr. Schmieder has always taken care of me and my family. he's one of those rare physicians out there that I can tell patient care is still a priority. I've seen him and many of his PAs and have never left disappointed. thank you for everything you do! Wait time can sometimes get lengthy, however in perspective, less than other specialists. Nurses are kind and very knowledgeable. read more

First time patient. I was late with my toddler by 15 minutes and they made us sit in the waiting room for 90 minutes for a visit that took less than 5 minutes. I tried to call them and even though their offices open at 8 they do not answer their phones until 8:15. read more

I have used this practice in the past but recently the service was not very good. I have had a rash and itching since 7/13. I went to the Kingsley office on 7/25. The PA said to increase my allergy meds and come back in a month and they would do a test to see if they could determine the cause. I had already been itching for two weeks and they wanted me to wait 4 more!!! I called the 8/1 to try to see someone and have the test done earlier. Left a message for the nurse and gave my cell number. On 8/10 a nurse called back...my home number while I was at work. I have already seen an allergist and have drug and environmental testing scheduled so I won't be using this practice again. read more

Doctor K. Is great. He spent extra time and answered every question I had. I would recommend him to everyone. The support staff are very friendly and go overboard to help with all my needs. I wouldn't go to anyone else. read more

I've been going to dermatologists for years and I have still not met one as great as Dr. Schmieder. Today, I had a biopsy on the bottom of my foot. I didn't feel the injection and the surgery was quick and painless. I am continuously impressed by the friendly, professional staff and cleanliness of the office. I recommend them to everyone! read more

Left this office very very upset . My appointment was 2:30pm and I just walked out the office (3:52pm) WITHOUT seeing a doctor, smh!!!! A woman comes in AFTER me and gets up after 45 minutes of waiting and complains ..... she got called in BEFORE me, huh?!?!?!?!!? Devil is a lie, I got up calmly and told the front desk I need a refund and I will never return! . read more

Tks Dr Schmeider for accommodating me today i wasn't expecting it pls express my appreciation to Ms Jordan Ms Renee n Ms Kim for their indulgence. You n Mary will always be in our daily rosary. God bless you all!! read more

I had a rash so I came to this practice, I saw a physician's assistant, she spouted unsolicited religious advice at me, she looked at my rash and immediately gave a diagnosis and a prescription. The diagnosis was wrong. The prescription suppressed the problem for a little while, then it came back. I came back and asked to see someone else, so they had me see another physician's assistant. He ran a test and confirmed that the original diagnosis was wrong. He looked at it and told me it was dermatitis and gave me another prescription. After doing some background research I found that dermatitis is a generic answer for a rash. The prescription helped for a little while but still did not solve the problem. I went to Southside dermatology (a completely different practice) and insisted on seeing an actual doctor of dermatology. He ran a biopsy and gave me a definitive answer for what it was and gave me solutions that worked. I would not recommend this place to anyone. read more

My husband gave me a gift certificate for microdermabrasion at Park Avenue Dermatology as I have had this procedure done at that location several times before and was very satisfied with the results. But when I called for an appointment I was told that I would first have to make an appointment for a cancer skin check before I can schedule a microdermabrasion appointment because it had been over a year since my last skin check! I have never had to do this before! I understand the importance of regular skin check, but I feel that is up to me to decide on when. My gift certificate should not be held "hostage" so that they can get paid for an extra appointment. read more

Dr. Schmieder is a life savor for me and my son!!! Without our church family telling us about him, my son would still be in horrible shape! Thankfully, Dr. Schmieder runs a clinical trial program for extreme eczema that has help save my son's life so far. He is truly a blessing and has the bedside manner to support that as well. When we prayed, he prayed! Awesome! read more

Excellent care by Dr Katz and Frazier and PAs in diagnosing and excising squamous cancer on my face. Very professional. Would recommend.

I went back to Park Ave To see Dr. Schmieder ' Too my surprise he was not the one who did the cancer removal on my face like I had thought ,Dr Schmieder was away And another doc had done it .I must say that Dr Schmieder was awesome he was so concern and sorry about my first experience with the office and surgery .He is going to try to minimize the scaring without any payment from me ( He does not have to do this But this is who he truly is he is a caring ,compassionate doctor ) His staff was great ,I called my sister and told her she should go see him for her skin cancer ,He is that trustworthy and I would recommend him to anyone he really cares ! I am the same Wanda F Palatka Florida' Will post pictures of my face later on ! read more

I received several Ult Light facials from the esthetician, Janet, but the second to last time I came, she "zapped" my mole on the side of my face. The next time I came was my birthday, and she began massaging me, but didn't prep for my facial. I was confused, as I had paid full price for the facial, not a massage on my hands. She then informs me that she can not give me a facial until I see a dermatologist and have my skin looked over, but never tells me why or admits that she made a mistake last session. I had no insurance to cover a full body look over. I feel the esthetician was forced to do so by her boss Mary Schmieder, after admitting her mistake to her boss. Mary was always trying to sell me extras like Botox, face lifts, and creams; when, at 30 years old, I was only looking for simple techniques to maintain my youth. This place is a money pit and I am very upset at the way I was treated.. to be told on my birthday that they could not honor what I had already paid for and scheduled, and the way human errors were handled absolutely shocked me. I will never go back to these greedy people. read more

I called to make an appointment for Botox. I was told I had to see a Dr. Mary???? and it would be $125. I usually see Dr. K. and love him. I went in and waited 45 minutes, I heard her assistant Sarah outside telling someone Mary was on the phone again and made patients wait all the time. Finally she entered and told me what I needed instead of listening to what I want. She seemed a bit condescending and arrogant, insisting that I would call 911 if I knew how much Botox was in her face. Honestly she needs a face lift and a good diet. She called in an asthetician to sell me on ridiculous procedures that require $$$$$. No thank you, this place is worse than a car lot. Never go there. read more

I've been very happy here. Dr Schmieder has such a calm and friendly demeanor and I've been happy with the PA's I've seen...like Ms Lee and Mr Robinson. The nurses are all very good as well, but I especially like Christina. She is beyond kind and she's very meticulous about making sure that everything is done properly. read more

The staff here are courteous, patient, and kind. Dr. Frazier and the PA's are knowledgeable and always willing to answer my questions. I have been dealing with a medical/ skin issue that was interfering with my quality of life. This team was willing to help me get answers when I had no where else to turn. I am very grateful. read more

Based on a friend's recommendation, I took my son to meet with Dr Schmieder. My son had been struggling with severe cystic acne, and we had exhausted all of the typical treatments. Dr. Schmieder treated my son like one of his own and took a very personal, hands-on approach. My son instantly formed a bond with Dr. Schmieder and trusted that he could and would do whatever necessary to help him. My son's case was complicated and painful, both physically and emotionally. Dr. Schmieder and his staff were there every step of the way. They researched and found the most cutting edge technology/treatment available. After starting this treatment, we saw drastic improvement. We have been able to eliminate all other medications. The change has been so remarkable. I have seen a complete turnaround in my son's outlook and confidence. Dr. Schmieder gave me my son back. I am so grateful for all of the staff at this clinic, and I truly feel that everyone cares and takes a personal interest in my son's recovery. read more

Park Avenue Dermatology believe their time is more valuable than their patients. They wanted me to sing a statement that if I cancel my appointment within 48 hours I would be required to pay a $25 non-refundable payment. I added the statement that if they canceled with 48 hours or did not see me within 30 minutes of the appointment time they would be required to pay me a $25 non-refundable payment. As I believe that my time is as valuable as theirs I believe this would be fair. They would not see me under these conditions. Their reasoning is they cannot control what may go on in the office? As if their patients have complete control of everything in their life that they can guarantee events up to 48 hours in advance. I firmly believe that Doctors should be held to the same standards as everyone else. If I have an appointment to meet one of my clients they have the expectation of me arriving on time. Why should Doctors be exempt? All patients should start holding Doctors to the same standards they hold they patients. Remember, the Doctors are being paid by you, so you are contracting their services, the same as a plumber or electrician, they are just better educated. I have billed a Doctor before for making me wait 2 hours after the appointment time. I left and sent him a bill for time spent waiting, time of travel and mileage. He actually paid after he called and apologized. If all patients started doing this things would change. read more

To be honest the reason I went here (Max Leggett location) was because it is convenient to home and my previous dermatologist closed its Northside office. I went in for my annual skin check and from the moment I walked in the office I did not feel as if I were welcomed there. I wouldn't call anyone rude, but the receptionist, MA, or doctor all were not what I would consider to be friendly. As far as the exam was concerned, the Dr. was in the room with me for less than two minutes, lifted my arms a couple of times and said, nothing to worry about, see you in a year. I don't think so. I will go back to my old dermatologist even if I have to drive some to get there. I guess I wasn't big enough money for them. read more

My experience at Park Avenue Dermatology has always been exceptional. As far back as I can remember, maybe since the late 90's, my spouse and two boys were seen and treated, and always felt like family. Dr. Schmieder and his staff are very professional, efficient, and truly care about you. My personal experience as a vulnerable blue eyed and fair skin patient, prone to conditions from excessive sun exposure, remains a great experience. Each visit begins with a detailed visual body scan for any concerns by the doctor. My concerns are treated with great respect and discussed in language which is easy to understand. Each visit feels like a family reunion in some ways. Thank you Dr. Schmieder! read more

The customer service in this office is non-existent. After waiting 45 minutes after my daughters scheduled appointment, we were finally taken into the back office for the visit. We were told that the prescription would be sent into the pharmacy and should be ready in an hour. It wasn't even ready in a day. The prescription was never called in. When I called back to the office I wasn't even able to speak to anyone, I had to leave a message. At 3:00 in the afternoon?? Ridiculous. Never received a phone call. The next day called again and the lady took a message. Still no return phone call. Not sure if the spelling of the pharmacy was to hard, it's only 3 letters. Absolutely unexpected outcome for the visit. I wouldn't take my goldfish here if he had a rash. read more

I had a great experience with Park Avenue Dermatology. I had precancerous cells in a mole on my shoulder and Dr. Krishnamurthy removed the mole. I was a little nervous in the beginning. The assistant who numbed the spot was very gentle. During the surgery Dr. Krishnamurthy and the two ladies who assisted him were talking, smiling and asking me questions but were still very professional. Their good vibes helped keep me calm. Dr. Krishnamurthy would also pause during surgery and let me see what he was doing, he did an amazing job! The procedure did not hurt at all! Will continue to use Park Avenue Dermatology, and will refer people to them who are looking for a dermatologist. read more

i spent over 1500 in 72 days with Dr Mary, she suggested Botox and fillers as a great way to refresh my tired look, i had an appt 12/18 2015 in which i received most of the treatment to my forehead, brow area, around my eyes and some under my lower lip wrinkles, she said if i was not pleased to come back in 2 weeks, if was during holiday season but i went back for a retouch on jan 6, 2016, i was charged 670 additionally even though both my forehead and eye are showed loss of earlier products....i went this week to talk to both dr Mary and her Husband/Partner about my displeasure, sine my results have completely disappeared, i was pretty much told these products have no guarantee and work different on everyone...i am more than disappointed, i was referred to them by Dr K who is in practice with them when i went for a skin cancer check., and i asked him if he did Botox, he sent me to Dr Mary said she's the best read more
