Dr. Goldman wanted to sell me pharmaceuticals for some thing I requested surgical stainless steel, a cylindrical scalpel to remove the root of! I had an ample explanation Dating back to 1997. And he misled me, even after I reminded him of Hippocratic Oath. Nurse was GREAT at appointment 🅰️➕➕ to her!

I would highly recommend Dr. Gutmark and her team, they are all extremely professional, have great bedside manner and know what they are doing! Ive been here for several issues, and have been very happy with my care. They do get busy but Ive never had to wait too long for my scheduled appointments. Dr. Gutmark is great at her job and is also mindful of how scars heal for minor procedures, and does her best to minimize scarring and is always open to conversations with patients about preferences. I will be continuing my care here as long as I can.

I have had multiple dermatologists due to a condition that was misdiagnosed for nearly 15 years. When I saw Dr. Gutmark, she immediately ordered a biopsy (no dermatologist had ever ordered one before), and although the insurance company initially denied her request, she did not waver, and shortly thereafter I was correctly diagnosed with something that multiple dermatologist missed. For the first time in my adult life, she was able to correctly treat me for something I had been suffering with for years. Her medical skill, bedside manner, and empathy for her patients is unmatched. She is the best dermatologist I have ever encountered and I would highly recommend her to anyone I love.

I wouldn’t step foot in this office ever again. There is no diversity here. The doctor assume all I wear is braids, I wonder why he assumes that. Anyway, after losing my hair from a visit to a hairstylist, I cut all my hair off and didn’t use heat or braids for two years. I’m not sure what the stylist did (hence the purpose of my appt), but the doctor was very narrow minded and kept telling me I was using braids and hot comb to make my hair that way. Braids did not cause this as I wasn’t wearing braids when it happened nor after… it definitely wasn’t a hot comb either. People typically don’t straighten their scalps. There it is, that’s my appointment. I’m sure you can deduce with type of person in this doctor is. If you’re not black, I don’t know you might like it.. It does look nice inside and may provide better service for a preferred racial group

Dr Gutmark is fantastic deserves an entry in the Guiness Book of Records for fastest and accurate diagnosis. Dr Goldman is fantastic.. he spends the time needed to explain the diagnosis and answer all questions. Both doctors helped to improve my condition instantly. The office is nice, new and clean and a quite unexpected when opening the door from the outside. I can’t agree on the negative comments regarding staff and Dr. If anything is missing it’s probably a charismatic staff member with a strong character that makes everyone leaving with good vibes.
