He has a great sense of humor and most important of all, his patients are not scared of him especially those who are young like my daughter.

My daughter's face became better here and if one medication doesn't suit her skin, he will always switch to another medication until he finds the best one. He's very professional and the wait is not bad either. I would highly recommend him to anybody who needs a dermatologist!

Comparing to similar facial spas at similar price level in Flushing, this place has nicer environment and larger space. The whole process is relaxing and comfortable.

I feel like they PLAN their mode of operation to extract as much money from you that they can. They will convince you to buy multiple packages and upgrade your bundles. It's ridiculous. It's hard to say no because they are very convincing and are nice. They will compliment you as a part of their ploy. For example, they convinced me to agree to paying for my "acne" facial with two packages which totals to about $100! The only difference that this provides is that they use acne products but it's the same amount of time and the procedure is the same as a basic facial. That's so scammy. If you post a "before" and "after" photo on Facebook or Instagram, they'll give you a free facial session or $35 worth of product.

Finding a good healthcare professional that is knowledgeable about south Asian skin is such a hard…read moretask. I have been trying to seek one out for the longest but didn't have any luck till Metro Dermatology. Either the dermatologist tried to sell other products onto me, did not care to examine my skin, or just had a really busy office which took forever to get seen. Thankfully, I found Gurpreet Kaur who is a PA that works for this facility. She's not only very knowledgeable about south Asian skin but she's extremely patient and well versed when it comes to skincare in general. I have been coming to this facility for almost a year now and when I had come initially, my skin was absolutely horrible. I was going through hormonal breakouts and it left me with a lot of scars and pigmentation. After a nine month process, I was able to reduce the scarring significantly through retinoid. I have actually used retinoid countless times in the past because many of my previous dermatologists recommended it to me, but I never really saw much results. Many professionals gave me the gel version which seemed to irritate my skin (I know retinoid is supposed to do that, but the gel just didn't work well for me.) Plus no one ever told me HOW to use it, which was frustrating too. Gurpreet Kaur really took the time to change my retinoid to a cream and even explained how to use it. I have been using it consistently for nine months now and I love the results that I'm seeing. She also recommended that I do six salicylic acid treatments which I am almost done with to help my texture. The treatments along with the retinoid have made my skin smoother, and I have been seeing less blackheads too. I am really happy with this place so far, I can't wait to see how my skin looks in another couple of months.

This review and rating pertain exclusively to Dr. Charles Kwak. I strongly advise against…read morescheduling an appointment with this particular doctor. I visited Dr. Kwak on July 13, 2024, at the Fordham location. I am aware that Dr. Kwak also works out of the Queens Elmhurst location. So this is to warn other patients who may be scheduling with him at this location. When Dr. Kwak entered the room, he immediately began discussing my previous visit and medications with his assistant, without first addressing the reason for my current visit. It was evident that he had not reviewed the notes taken by the assistant upon my arrival, as my current visit was unrelated to my previous one. I had to tell Dr. Kwak three times that I was there for a new, unrelated issue. Despite this, he quickly and dismissively asked to see my skin and began prescribing medications without investigating the cause of my skin reaction or considering my recent allergic reaction and complex medical history, which the assistant had carefully documented. As he rushed out, I remembered that he had not examined my face, where I had another issue, because I was wearing a mask. The assistants tried to inform him, but I heard him dismiss them in the hallway, falsely claiming he had seen my face. When I confronted him, he attempted to gaslight me, insisting I had pulled my mask down, which I had not. He once again, started suggesting a face wash without any further investigation or questions. The stressed and exasperated looks on the staff's faces reflected my own frustration with this doctor. While I sat in the room, I could hear Dr. Kwak loudly speaking to other patients, prescribing medications without listening to their concerns and cutting them off mid-sentence, just as he had done with me and the staff. The staff at this location have been wonderful, and my experience with Dr. Curtis Chen was excellent. However, my encounter with Dr. Kwak was a stark contrast. Despite his impressive credentials and advocacy claims on the website, his behavior was dismissive, rude, and unprofessional. If he cannot provide compassionate and attentive care to the underserved population, he should consider retirement. The people of the Bronx deserve better than the neglect and harm caused by doctors like him. He also has several other negative one star reviews stating they had a similar experience to mine here: https://www.healthgrades.com/physician/dr-charles-kwak-29hnm

25 years as a patient of Dr. Miriam Casal at Piel Viva! and she never stops impressing me…read more I've been a patient of Dr. Miriam Casal at Piel Viva for over 25 years, and I can honestly say that choosing her was one of the best decisions I've ever made for my skin, and my confidence. What sets Dr. Casal apart is that she never stops learning. Year after year, she stays ahead of the curve, always incorporating the latest treatments, technologies, and medical advancements into her practice. The results? You don't just hear about them, you see them, and you see them quickly. Just this past March 16th, I had a BBL treatment with Dr. Casal and a Halo Scion session with Marisol, and as always, I was in the best hands. Both treatments were performed with incredible precision and care, and I'm already looking forward to seeing the results unfold over the coming days. But beyond her expertise, what truly makes Piel Viva special is the whole experience. Her staff is not only highly knowledgeable but genuinely warm and welcoming. You never feel like just another appointment on the calendar. And speaking of appointments,they always run on time. That kind of respect for your time is rare and deeply appreciated. If you're looking for a dermatologist who combines decades of experience with cutting-edge medicine and a team that truly cares, look no further. Dr. Miriam Casal and the entire Piel Viva family have earned my trust and loyalty for 25 years, and counting.

It in fact left a quarter-sized hole in my chest, that has turned into a raised, discolored scar, and shows where every stitch was. I was very upset, and went in to have them look at it. They were completely unsympathetic and told me "we can't predict how things will scar". I never would have agreed to the procedure if I thought this outcome would be a possibility. I have worn scar tape and used scar creams for over a year now, and it still looks terrible. Like someone put a cigar out on my chest. It shows in almost every shirt I wear and makes me constantly self-conscious. All for a tiny freckle, that they only thought MIGHT become something bad in the future. I will never go back there and would caution others to think twice and ask more questions than I did before agreeing to any procedures they recommend.

I trust and appreciate Dr. Zang's treatment! Due to rheumatoid xerosis and skin allergies, dry skin is prone to large rashes and changes. In the past ten years, my skin has been carefully treated and maintained by Dr. Zang, but it has improved with age and xerosis. A wart occurred on the breast many years ago, and it is getting bigger day by day. It was surgically removed by other doctors. Less than a year later, the same one occurred at the same place. After Dr. Zang removed it, there has been no recurrence so far, and the scar has long since disappeared. A few years ago, there was a lipoma on the root of the thigh, which was red, swollen, inflamed and painful. After the operation, he recovered quickly. Because her clinic moved to Flushing, I seldom go there. Recently, lipomas occurred in different parts of the thigh, which could not be resolved with anti-inflammatory drugs, so I went to Dr. Zang for treatment. It was almost lunch break when I arrived at the clinic. After the inspection, Dr. Zang still decided to perform an immediate surgical resection. During the operation, She carefully resected and sutured, cared for almost no pain, and took care of postoperative medication to restore all joints. The staff in the clinic are rigorous in their work and treat others with kindness. The clinic is clean and the items in the treatment room are in order. I am old and sick, but when I met Dr. Zang, a doctor with high medical skills and ethics, my heart is full of warmth and gratitude. Jun Zhou New York
