Since the beginning of the pandemic I have avoided going to a medical office unless I absolutely had to. Recently I have developed an extremely uncomfortable rash and knew it had to be treated. I made an appointment with the confidence that it would be a safe environment and that my rash would be treated. Every expectation I had was confirmed. The front desk staff, the manager, and the entire staff all masked and welcoming. The Medical Assistant, Bitsy , so warmly escorted me to my exam room and asked me preliminary questions. Then she introduced me to Dr. Fenton who i had never met. I was so grateful for his knowledge and time he took to diagnose and explain the course of treatment he was going to recommend. Wonderful bedside manner! Every expectation was exceeded! read more

Horrible dermatologist. Always making you wait 20-30mins after your appt time. Doctor totally dismissed my concerns. Kept giving me the same medication and treatments, multiple times even though is was not working. One time doctor walked out while i was still getting a bandage on my body. and was open on the table. i've had this skin condition for YEARS and they just kept giving me the same medication over and over again and never trying anything new. i found a new dermatologist and was finally diagnosed with something and now am getting the right treatment. read more

Going to a dermatologist is as scary as any Dr but Schweiger makes it easy. Always on time. Clean offices. Friendly staff. Dr Fenton is excellent. read more

This practice has shown me there is still compassion in the world. They are kind and caring giving you the patient the time and respect your individual case needs Thumbs up to the office staff, Dr Dolitsky and her assistant Karen I would recommend them to anyone who needs their services and caring ways. read more

This practice does not respect its patients. I waited over an hour for my annual screening. My friend waited over THREE HOURS to see the doctor. Do NOT go there if you do not have the first appointment of the day. Doctors are good, management is terrible. The days of a full waiting room ended with COVID. Get with the program! read more

They help treat my acne when I was young. I remember they were a good bunch of people. I grew up in the neighborhood so they were good to me and some of my friends and our pimples. read more

Horrible office with zero cost transparency. The physicians will proceed with anything without consent and then send crazy exorbitant bills. Example: came in for advice on my recent acne flare up. The PA proceeded to pop pimples on my chin which I did not ask for nor did she ask if I wanted this. Because of this, I got more pimples in the area and had scarring. Then a few weeks later the bill came in and they had labeled it as "Acne Surgery". After insurance, I still owed $130 (over $300 before). I reached out and pushed back on this, to which they claimed it was an appropriate charge and I gave consent (which I did not do). Excuse me, while I go change my career to acne surgeon - I'm a pro. It took me months to get this fixed because their billing department is in no way shape or form connected to the actual practice. I eventually spoke to someone there who was able to get it taken care of, 4 or 5 months later. Just as a word to the wise, ask up front every step of the way while you're at your appointment. It's okay to tell a doctor you're being mindful of cost and would like to be aware of what will be charged so you can deny it up front. read more

If there could be less than one star, that's what I would give this place. Came an hour early for an appointment and was told that they only see people by appointment times. Suffice it say, an hour past the appointment time we still weren't seen. The medical assistant had a horrible attitude. The whole experience was all around terrible. read more

All these reviews about people getting POP BILLS are true. I just got mine in the mail and someone from an AUSTRALIAN number just called me saying I owe $325 after a year of going there. I had NO procedure done. All they did was check my skin and gave me meds that my insurance paid for. This is a SCAM. read more

Went there a year and a half ago and JUST got billed for some treatment they gave me during a routine skin evaluation, that didn't work, which they say is my responsibility because Medicare and the insurance I had at the time paid what they felt was fair. The insurance company I had told me I should have only had to pay my co-pay of $40; I did ask the staff at Schweiger if I owed anything after each and every visit, and they always said no. A year and a half after treatment, they claim I owe, not $40, but $450! Apparently they went nuts with some kind of laser device on some age spots, which they certainly didn't discuss with me ahead of time, and that's what this was. They also said they would "take care of" a patch of dry skin on my back with their pricey little laser treatments, and that NEVER got any better. Now I live in another state, am retired and on a fixed income, and don't want anyone playing with my credit, so they got their money. But I have the satisfaction of telling you that if you deal with this outfit, this is how you will get treated. I see from the other reviews I'm not alone. read more

I made an appointment online but then received a cancellation email, so I called the Long Beach office. The woman who helped me on the phone was excellent. I received the same appointment I had originally made. The office practiced every safety precaution; the assistant in the examination room did a fine job and the doctor (Charisse Dolitsky, MD) diagnosed me quickly and provided me with free Rx samples, since I don't have drug coverage. read more

This office is a nightmare. Shall I begin with the billing department? The billing department that never calls back despite leaving 6+ voicemails during business hours for bills I shouldn't be getting. All the way to the incompetent doctors that sent a 19 year old for "skin cancer removal" which resulted in 7 ripped stitches only to be told it wasn't skin cancer. Avoid at all costs, how there are good reviews ...mind boggling. read more

didn't have a good experience here. came in for a full body check & because i had a random flare up of an uncomfortable rash on my leg. the full body check took all of one minute which i was surprised as i have a lot of freckles and am very fair skinned. the rash i have on my leg was diagnosed from the doctor looking at it from across the room and she just said, "looks like eczema". i've never had eczema in my life. i was prescribed two creams that didn't work and now i have to take time out of my busy schedule to find another dermatologist. read more

After my annual full skin review I was informed that I needed surgery to remove some cancerous cells. I had the necessary surgery a few days later under the capable hands of Dr. Fenton. He was ably assisted by three Physician Assistants. I observed the entire procedure with great interest. Afterwards, when answering my wife's text, "Are you OK?" I replied "Wonderful! Already had the first surgery done. Antibiotic will be available for pickup tomorrow, Back here in two weeks to remove stitches and do another smaller surgery on the opposite side of my leg. Great surgery and staff!" This was definitely the "A" Team. They provided me with an extremely interesting and enjoyable experience dealing with all my questions as the surgery progressed. All of this despite the fact that it was all about excising skin cancer. read more

Expected to get full body exam and in one quick 10 second glance I was done? I had to point out the things that concerned me and a quick 10 second freeze of two small growths and I was done? Felt it wasn't a through exam and was rushed out in the two minutes I was in there? The growths that were frozen haven't gone away and appear to be the same? Very disappointed and feel a total waste of time going to this Group! read more

I met with Linda the physicians assistant as well as Daniella. They were super nice (andand very professional and competent. I had a really good experience!! Update: I showed up at 6pm with no appointment with my son who is a new patient. Lisa at the front desk was super nice and between her and Daniella, they took us in with no questions asked! These people really care. This is my second visit here and I'm so happy. read more

I am happy to say that my wait at Schweiger Dermatology was very short. I was greeted kindly by front staff and then within a few minutes, escorted to a room. The intake person (her name escapes me) was such a friendly, pleasant woman. I waited only a brief time before Dr. Dolitsky arrived. I have to say that the entire experience was uncomplicated and comfortable. It is not often that I get to say that about a doctor visit. read more

Very pleasant and friendly. Appointment time was fast and sufficient. In and out. My second time there and I like the Dr. I recommend as I was recommended by others. Dawn Chase read more

I was using Great Neck Dermatology (which became a Schweiger office) for 20 years as I lived on the North Shore, I moved to the South Shore and debated trying the one in Long Beach, as opposed to driving North. Well, all I can say is do NOT be fooled by the home residence converted to a Doctors office. I stopped in first to check it out and the place was spotless, modern and everyone was very helpful. They did all the insurance paperwork and then booked me for the following week. When I arrived for the appointment 15 minutes early, they were moving folks in and out with precision. I got called in, an assistant asked all the medical questions/history and type them right into the iPad. 5 minutes later, Dr.Tutone (who had worked in Great NecK) came in with a P.A. and did a full body scan/checkup in about 15 minutes, explained the problem areas and gave me a plan for my issues. I was in and out in an hour and felt really confident that I received excellent medical expertise. I'm scheduled to see them again in three weeks. I was very impressed with all the staff, the most modern equipment and up to date medical experience. Paul C-Lido Beach read more

I was so pleased to see the social distancing in the waiting room. Everyone in masks. My Mom who's 91 and I had appts back to back which I so appreciated. The staff was so patient and accommodating. You guys are great. Thank you. See you soon read more

I recently started going to the Long Beach office. It is always a great experience whenever I go in for an appointment or treatment, and the staff is so friendly! read more

This is the first tine I've been there with them under the Schweiger Banner. The office is remodeled and beautiful, there was little to no wait time the Doctor came right in after the Nurse, no waiting in your robe for 20 minutes! I had a thorough annual screening and a prescription I needed called into precision pharmacy across the street ASAP. This was the best Doctor experience I've had in a long while, and while i always see a different doctor ( whomever is available really but always a female ) annually ~ I saw Dr.Tutrone this time and he was amazing! As was the nurse before him, I'd choose him again anyday. read more

Amazing. Beautiful clean office. I have come to them with many different skin problems, and they have cured everything ailing me, from folliculitis, dermatitis, hyperpigmentation, allergies, and a cyst. The doctor is very knowledgable and answers questions thoroughly and with wisdom. Have nothing bad to say about them! read more

I have been a patient in the practice for years. The doctors and staff are excellent BUT the billing dept is horrible!!! You have to leave a message when there is a billing error BUT no one calls you back. I have been billed twice for the same date of service ( this is not the first time) This will ruin their practice. Watch out folks and check your bills read more

This place is one of the only doctors offices I look forward to visiting. The staff is friendly, building is clean/modern and doctors all seem to really care. I've been coming here for over 10 years and am always impressed. Most other dermatologists have been unable to help my awful skin but here I get answers that work! read more

Been to countless dermatologist groups in the past and always felt like a number. Stumbled upon Schweiger Derm in Long Beach. Beside finally finding a doctor who rectified my lizard like dry skin problems, I felt like the entire office appreciated my business. Friendly/clean(including the toilets) and knowledgeable are the reasons I will be coming back for all my derm needs! I highly recommend them! read more

Zero complaints. The staff here is super friendly and the waiting room is very pleasing to the eye. As a new patient, they give you an iPad to fill out your personal history on, instead of all that annoying paperwork, which is awesome. Once I got into the room, I waited less than a minute to see the doctor. Cool dude, nice and laid back, listened well, seemed concerned, answered all my questions. read more

This was my first visit to a dermatologist, and Melissa Rosenhan was great! First, there was virtually no wait, and Melissa was super friendly and thorough. She went over how everything works, gave me opportunities to ask questions. Top notch experience! Bonus points for having an appointment available on a Sunday morning that's fits perfectly with my busy schedule. read more

I have been a patient at this office for a while. The front desk staff members REFUSE to say hello when you walk in! They are extremely rude. I received a phone call from the manager because I was extremely unhappy with the service and said she has never received a complaint about her staff members. In other words, she called me a liar. The front desk lacks communication skills and will ask you for documents that you already gave them. read more

Initially getting an appointment was challenging... the automated wait for a text is frustrating... however the appointment time was promptly kept..and the md was knowledgeable and immediately treated my inflammatory lip problem... I felt relief shortly after leaving the office and my prescription was promptly called in..and a follow up appointment provided.... read more

I have been coming here for my skincare for 4 years now. I've seen more than one doctor and they are all friendly, informative, thorough and respectful. I highly recommend this place. read more

Had two procedures done, and had to return to see why my hand was not healing... Dr spoke to me for 30 seconds and referred problem to his assistant Gina. She is the best person in this entire office, When I questioned the Doctor about my first procedure, which he originally said if "you aren't satisfied with the results we can do it again with no problem - I was informed at the desk I would have to pay again for the procedure, not just for another office visit. By this time the doctor was no longer in the office for any discussion. I called the office and asked for a call back from the Doctor only to get a call back from Debbie the "office manager" who claimed she did not understand my message. She was totally uncooperative and rude... as a result they lost two patients, read more

I have been going to Dr. Dolitsky for over 10 yrs but had to see other dermatologists from other practice groups when my health insurance changed in the past. Now that I'm back because she is under my insurance plan, I have a fair comparison with other dermatologists. She's very thorough and compassionate. The office is very clean and staff is organized. If you need a good dermatologist, definitely go see her. read more

I was able to get a same day appointment for a skin condition that needed immediate attention and I was grateful for that. I didn't have a long wait time once I arrived. The staff and the Dr. are all professional and I was given prescriptions for 2 medications that I hope clear up my skin condition soon. read more

A terrible experience for my child. A simple procedure turned into hours of my pain for my young child which was unnecessary the doctors office did not explain options and did not do a good job of treating a young child I would not recommend taking children to this facility read more

Thorough exam where you feel like they care about your health. Friendly staff. Gives lots of samples :)

The most friendly and welcoming staff you could find in any Doctors office. Debbie and Susan really go the extra mile to make your visit a very simple an enjoyable experience a pleasure to interact with. PA Linda Dodick is my absolute favorite, always takes the time to explain and answer any question or concerns you might have. Wonderful Team! read more

Been seeing Dr. Dolitsky for years and wouldn't go anywhere. Always on time & the staff is WONDERFUL!!! Highly Recommend!!!

I've been coming to this practice for years and it seems to have grown into a better practice over the past few years. Every staff member is friendly, helpful and professional. I feel comfortable seeing any of the doctors or the PA's when I schedule my appointments because although they have different styles and personalities they are all great. The office is immaculate and the wait times are usually fine (I have no tolerance for excessive wait times). The only recent issue that I've had is that I asked for prices of a treatment and they were very very high so I went elsewhere. When I discussed it with them in person I was told that the process were lowered and I will use them in the future for that treatment. Oh one more thing that I don't mike is that the automated system is a bit excessive with reminders about bills and appointments but I spoke to them about it and they can change settings. Definitely recommend read more

Had I known I would have had such a good time in a doctors office, I would have made my appointment much earlier than I did. Aside from the very knowledgeable and caring Dr Dolitsky, the staff, when you arrive and through your the visit, are smiling, friendly and very efficient. Kudos to Shushma, Kelly and Michelle. read more
