DO NOT COME HERE! DO NOT COME HERE! DO NOT COME HERE! Due to my specific and serious dermatological medical needs, I spent a lot of time researching and looking for the just right dermatologist to assist me in curing a longstanding medical condition, and I was pleased to find that help with Dr. Noor. Unfortunately, my experiences with the doctor's office quickly ruined that love affair and took away all my trust. For the third time in several months, I've needed to see Dr. Noor due to urgent medical issues. However, each time, I was given excuse after excuse and nonstop runarounds as to why he was nowhere to be found, and no one seemed to know when he'd be back. Instead, each time they tried to force me into seeing one of their unqualified nurses, while at the same time trying to convince me to give my credit card details over the phone to someone I didn't know to receive care from someone I didn't want. I made the mistake of seeing one of these untrained "professionals" the first time and quickly learned it was a mistake I would never repeat. Every interaction with their staff since has left me questioning if they are running some sort of three-card monty Ponzi scheme, leveraging Dr. Noor's good name and reputation to lure unsuspecting patients in, only to pawn them off onto random unqualified staff members working in the back. PLEASE TAKE YOUR BUSINESS TO A PLACE WHERE YOU'LL GET WHO AND WHAT YOU PAID FOR. read more

I get my lip filer done by Dr. Noor and he is so kind and caring. Very patient and meticulous. I have been going here for 5 ish years and won't ever trust anyone else. Everyone at the office is very kind as well . I recommend him to all of my friends read more

I'm giving Rao 1 star - not because the actual experience was bad. In fact, I hardly remember it because it was 1 year, 7 months, 25 days ago. But yesterday when I checked my mail I got a first and final notice for a balance due. I have no problem paying what I owe. I take issue with never hearing from Rao, no holiday card, no birthday card and more importantly, no bills. Yet 1 year, 7 months, 25 days later I get a final notice with a threat to turn me over to collections. I will say that the person at Rao who works in billing was apologetic and understanding. And I appreciate that. But they need get their 3rd party billing in order. The bill is paid. It's over. But I won't be ever going back to Rao. read more

Rao Dermatology - First and final notice after an appointment from 1 year, 7 months, 25 days ago. - Dermatologists Near Me - New York, New York

Got my Botox done with DR. Noor it was quick, easy, and very effective. read more

Went to Dr. Rao for a simple visit and he was quick to rush me out of the room and was clearly uninterested in answering questions/having a brief conversation about my issues. In addition, his administrative staff is ridiculously incompetent. I went more than 3 weeks ago and haven't been able to pick up a prescription because they don't know what they're doing and don't communicate at all. Will not go back. read more

I went to the office on 57th st for a rash I had on my elbow. The wait was very minimal after I registered (5-10mins). Dr Noor quickly looked at my elbow and knew what to prescribe. He provided me samples which after I used them, my symptoms improved significantly (see before and after). I've only used the samples about 3 or 4 times in the week ans look at those results! I also addressed my acne which he prescribed a gel for. My acne also began to clear up after starting product. I was with him for about 5 minutes. Clearly he knew what he was doing! Remember, this is my experience and my concerns may be different than yours (more severe). However, I think he is worth the shot. I had a very nice experience. read more

Rao Dermatology - My rash - Dermatologists Near Me - New York, New York

See all

Beautiful office - very clean, bright white interior with great ventilation system - felt very safe to get treated there during covid. I went to get a cyst from my face surgically removed. The whole procedure took no more than a few minutes, and I didn't feel any pain!!! Dr. Omar Noor is absolutely incredible!!! I was very worried about having a scar on my face. But he did such a great job - the scar is very tiny - barely noticeable at all !!!! Very pleased with the services and so grateful!!!! Definitely coming back to Rao dermatology to get Microneedling facial, Botox and Juvederm injections next!!! read more

Since June 6th 2019 I m expecting my blood test results . I called the office numerous times and the receptionist sound with so much enthusiasm that I was amazed. No one cares to help or take things serious. I regret visting this place. read more

I loved my experience with Dr. Rao and his team. His front desk staff is courteous, professional, and do a great job with follow up. I consulted with Dr. Rao a few years on a neck scar. He was very meticulous and methodical with the various procedures. We first did steroid creams, injections, and then decided to do a few sessions of laser resurfacing. He was very patient and friendly. I appreciated that he asked about my day and was generally interested in me as a person. His assistants were also very warm. He seemed to be quite busy balancing several practices on the East and West Coasts. Now my scar is barely visible and no one notices it anymore. read more

I was very disappointed in the care I got at Rao. A full body scan for skin cancer consisted of a 10 sec glance. And I called the office twice with a questions about the proper application of a prescription hair treatment I was prescribed and got no return call. read more

I have been with Dr. Rao for over 20 years and he is by far the best and considerate doctor I have ever known. I would highly recommend him for any dermatology needs people might have . Michael Malta read more

Rao Dermatology - Me and my girl - Dermatologists Near Me - New York, New York

I have been undergoing treatment with Dr. Noor for the past 4 months. I have to say that he gives his patients 200% and is very knowledgeable and honest. I totally trust his expertise and am confident with my currentongoing treatment that we are going to tackle this hypertrophic scar. I highly recommend hm for annual dermatological checkups well as treatments for major skin issues. Thumbs up and 5 stars! read more

My doctor was awesome, caring, and helped to reassure me. He explained my diagnosis and went into depth about treatment options. I'm beyond satisfied -- no other dermatologist I've seen has put so much explaining the medical jargon. As good as the doctor is, though, amazing people behind the front desk deserve some recognition. The girls are fabulous, fought my dumb pharmacist and insurance companies to find me a cheaper RX price, and went above and beyond for the referral needed. Scheduling an appointment is easy on the phone or on ZocDoc. If you needed to drive there's an inexpensive garage next door. I seriously couldn't think of a thing to complain about if I tried. read more

I've been seeing Dr. Rao and his team for about three years now and I never plan to see another dermatologist again! Prior to becoming Dr. Rao's patient, I had been to a handful of dermatologists in the city and was never very pleased with those experiences; luckily a friend suggested I visit Dr. Rao and his team. Dr. Rao is knowledgeable, compassionate and professional, not to mention a very nice person who genuinely wants to see his patients healthy and happy. I have seen him for several different things (both medical and aesthetic), and each time the results were excellent. Additionally, his team, including his front desk staff and assistants are wonderful. They are attentive and on top of their game. Dr. Rao also just added a full time esthetician who is very skilled; I'd also highly recommend her for facials, microderm, etc. In terms of the wait, I usually only have to wait about ten minutes for my appointment; once in a while I've had to wait up to 30/40 minutes (this is rare). But I'd MUCH rather wait to see a doctor whom I really trust, verus going to a derma who I'm not totally pleased with. read more

I have been seeing Dr. Noor for the past 6 months and it has done wonder for my skin! I was starting to lose hope as a 25 year old with full blown acne, but 2 months after my first visit I was starting to see results! With consistency, my skin has been the best it's been in years! I was referred to Rai Dermatology through Zoc Doc, but I will be sure to recommend this office to any of my friends looking for a dermatologist. The office is clean and the receptionist is always nice. I will continue to go here for my acne and any other issues that may come up! read more

I recently moved to NYC and decided to try out this office. I have new insurance and have been having issues with my acne medication getting covered. I have to say... the amount of care that Dr. Rao's office put into getting my medication approved along with keeping me involved every single step of the way was tremendous. I have worked in a pharmacy and personally dealt with calling doctors' offices and insurances for medication approvals and it can be a headache depending on who you are dealing with. Dr. Rao's office was so attentive and followed through with every step to make the process as seamless and easy as possible to get my prescription approved in a quick timeframe- and they always gave me a phone call to keep me updated. Thank you so much! read more

I actually visited his office in Somerset NJ NOT the NY location. By far the best experience I've ever had at a Dr.s office. The women at the front desk were both super friendly, I WAS TAKEN INTO THE EXAMINATION ROOM ON TIME, within 3-4 minutes I was seen by 2 residents who were great, within another 2 minutes Dr. Rao came in he was great..... everyone I dealt with there had a smile on their face which made me feel much better. No waiting, no let's make another appointment, no you need to see a specialist.... they took care of business right then and there. Dr. Rao and this facility should teach other medical facilities how to treat patients. They also sent a text message to check in prior to arrival and a link to fill out all your paperwork before you arrive. This was as good of an experience as going to the Dr. Can be.... well done Dr. Rao, the 2 residents (who's names I unfortunately did not get) and ALL of his staff. read more

I've long hesitated writing a review, for fear the secret would get out and it would be harder to get an appointment! The gals at Vogue and Glamour refer to Dr. Rao as the "Botox magician" and they are so right. I've been seeing him as a dermatologist for years. He's so personable, warm, and friendly, but he's also a phenomenal doctor too. He's always up to date on the latest research and best products. I won't see anyone else!! He's the absolute best! read more

BEWARE - DO NOT USE THIS DOCTOR FOR UNDER EYE FILLER!! Skin care? No Problem. Want Botox? No problem. Want your under eye troughs filled? HUGE PROBLEM. After demonstrating how to treat this area with Restalyn Silk in front of 2 foreign female students, my right eye IMMEDIATELY began to swell & bruise. 3 wks & a round of methylprednisolone later, under my eye is still distorted, swollen & heavy with pressure. On my 1st & last follow-up, Dr. Rao decided to NOW mention that he "doesn't usually do this area" WTF! I've had this procedure done before by another Dr with great results & will be using him to hopefully correct this mess. Thank god I have Amex to dispute the $650 spent that I will need to pay for the correction. DO NOT USE THIS DOCTOR FOR UNDER EYE FILLER!! (pics available if interested) read more

I have been a patient of Dr. Rao's for over 10 years and have always felt comfortable and confident with his medical care and his office staff. I continue to be treated for adult acne as his treatment has been effective but he is working with me to decrease my medications. I highly recommend Dr. Rao for acne treatment. read more

Dr. Rao is excellent at providing skilled, subtle Botox treatments. He has a calming manner and made me feel immediately comfortable. I've been a repeat customer for about 2 years now - highly recommended. read more

Dr. Noor is wonderful. He is super-knowledgable about the latest procedures and immediately put me at ease. His office is very efficient so it is easy to get an appointment, and once there, I'm seen promptly. I recommend him highly! read more

Their scheduling policy is just plain chutzpah. I got a groupon for laser, for six sessions, and it had a very tight expiration date. Their hours? 8:30 to 4:30 M-F. AKA, they only intend to serve the unemployed. Don't you know? People without jobs are the only ones that need or want to stop shaving/waxing... Furthermore, Groupons can only come in on Tuesdays and Thursdays, ... and some Wednesdays when the mood strikes them. Tell me that taking into account the expiration date, the hours, and the Tuesday/Thursday policy that this place didn't create their policy for the sole purpose of not having to fulfill the full amount of sessions sold. All that, a coincidence? Me thinks not. Deceptive and weasel-like. Not the kind of people I wanna hang out with. Anywho, given their beautifully contrived scheduling policy, clearly all their appointments are booked up quickly. And then they can't schedule the appointments to reflect the requirements of laser. So that means the few appointments you will be able to squeeze under their draconian rules will not be effective. YAY! Ok let's talk about the actual service. I really did not appreciate that the last time I went, they didn't have goggles for me to wear. They broke, apparently. You provide laser, and even offered a Groupon out to the public for it, and invested in just one pair of flimsy goggles? This place claims to be run by an MD. How do you rationalize swearing to the Hippocratic oath with performing laser on someone not wearing goggles? Also, this is minor, but it matters in Manhattan. Location, location, location. This place is like 15 minutes walking from the closest train station. read more

The staff and the doctors are very nice and friendly. Only few doctor's receptionists pick calls and try to help mew patients. Dr was quick but thorough. read more

Dr. Noor was great! He made my appointment quick and easy -- especially since I haven't been to a dermatologist in years. He answered all of my questions and I was in and out of there very quickly. The office itself is also very welcoming and clean. Very friendly staff. Glad that I was able to find a great dermatologist near my office. read more

Rao dermatology is fantastic. I've gone three times and am about to go for my fourth visit. They are quick, kind and attentive and reasonably priced and accepted by most insurance. They were great helping me find an appropriate treatment for my skin while pregnant as well! read more

I first came for a second opinion and never went back to the other doctor. Dr Noor and team are the best, very welcoming and explain everything clearly read more

Dr. Rao made me feel like an annoyance to him (and it was my first time there - wouldn't he want to gain new patients??? I guess not).....I am not going back. I came in for a minor skin issue and was given 3 options but no guidance regarding which option to choose. He also said I better make a decision soon because he has a meeting........who wants that from a doctor? read more

Stay away from this place, inflexible schedule for laser appointments, and they charge $100 for cancelation that's made less than 24 hours prior your appointment, I had to wait 3 month in between my two laser appointments, be aware!! read more

Having moved around a lot I've been to a number of dermatologists. Now I've seen both Dr. Noor and Dr. Rao. They are caring, professional and efficient. The wait times have always been brief and I feel like I'm getting their full attention. I'd highly recommend this practice. read more

Bad experience. I had previously been to Dr Rao who was nice. This time they quoted me a much higher rate for the same treatment. When i asked them to match rate Dr. Noor came in - very angry - said "OK Sweetie." I objected and said - Seeetie that's condescending dont you think - he said he didn't think so. He then told me he wasted his time on my. Ick. Unpleasant. Obviously I Ieft. read more

Dr. Rao and Dr. Noor are as good as it gets!

Amazing office and staff! Been going to this office for the last two years and dr Noor has always spend time with me with my every concern. I highly recommend! read more

After being frustrated with another dermatologist who, after 8 weeks, could not cure a skin infection, I found Rao Dermatology. Dr. Malik accurately diagnosed my condition and provided prescriptions and within a few days, I saw remarkable improvement. Not only was he very thorough, he was also very professional and courteous, as was the office staff. I will definitely return in the future. read more

Dr. Noor is an amazing dermatologist. He is a board certified dermatologist. He has a great bedside manner. Great office. Friendly staff. read more

I had a 3pm appointment for laser in a small area that I'd purchased with groupon. At 3.20pm I asked how much longer would the wait he having watched two people who arrived after me go through and was told at least another ten minutes by a disinterested receptionist. I don't mind waiting for an appointment but thirty minutes is unacceptable and a waste of my time. read more

I usually see Dr. Noor. My visits have been quick, courteous, and effective. I also love that they do not generally charge a co-pay for a quick cortisone shot! read more

Love Rao Dermatology and all of the services I have received from Dr. Noor! He is super knowledgeable and professional. He administered several laser treatments on my face to help treat some dark spots I have on my forehead. He also prescribed a bleaching cream and I have been seeing amazing results. Getting a laser was a little scary for me the first time but Dr. Noor made me feel safe and comfortable. Also, there is never a wait and the office is super nice. Highly recommend. read more
