This Dermatologist is super close to me so I thought I would take advantage and get a check up here. I try to hide as much as I can from the sun but I have an extended family (in laws) that love the sun. I would prefer my 20 minutes a day of Vitamin D and then be done with sun literally burning my skin. Of course like any insane Generation X female, I used to "tan" in the artificial tanning booths in my late 20's and early 30's. Now that I have mature skin I want NO part of the sun burning me up and ruining my face. I gave this office a visit a few years ago. I really did enjoy speaking to Dr. Beth Adams, who unfortunately is not here any longer/ Her bedside manner was very kind and caring. This was two years ago, at least. I have since then noticed that I have a few "sun" spots on my face and I really wanted them gone. I decided to make an appt and to my surprise the wait was long. I booked the appt in July and the appt wasn't until late August. I ended up seeing Dr. Emily Stevenson. She suggested that I have the sun spots "frozen" off. She told me the cost and I thought this was a reasonable price for removing 10 blemishes. I had the sun spots "frozen". The skin did get red and did scab over the next few days. I hid my face under a mask for a few days and that did the trick. I made sure that the scabs were covered with Vaseline and my skins never got too dry. The scars did heal well. Dr. Emily did tell me that some blemished may need an additional session because they are stubborn. I may have to go back but I won't do that until the Spring time when I am on Break. She also said to wear tons of sunblock which I am trying to. I was satisfied with the service I received. read more

They have really updated this place! It looks great inside I had a visit with Nimra the Physician Assistant and she was really patient with me. I had several questions and concerns about my eczema around my eyes and overall complexion. She addressed my concerns and also suggested additional treatments from the aesthetician that I can do in conjunction with a new skincare routine to improve my skin texture. I'm excited to put her advice and treatment plan to work and see results soon. I feel more confident in my skin now read more

See all

Dr Berne is a wonderful Physician and highly skilled dermatologist. He has been my dermatologist for 23 years. My husband is also a long time patient of Dr Bernes. I highly recommend him. read more

I have been a patient of Dr. Adams at A+G Dermatology for years and have nothing but good things to say about her and the practice! I have fair skin and am worried about skin cancer, so have made several visits to A+G for checkups and procedures. Dr. Adams is professional, informative, friendly and most important a great doctor. Anytime something doesn't look right she is there to check it out and remove if needed. She is very good about not leaving big scars, which is appreciated. The office staff is all wonderful and I always leave feeling confident that any concerns were addressed. I highly recommend A+G Dermatology! read more

Dr Beth Adams is so pleasant, patient and thorough in her care. She never makes me feel rushed and gives me plenty of time and attention to answer all of my questions. She has done 2 small procedures for me and takes care to make the scars as tiny as possible. Annual skin checks too are thorough and very informative. She has also treated one of my teens and was great with them, too. Such compassion and patience! read more

Second time here and they are great. I had Dr. Adams twice, she takes the time to explain things, and she is very sweet, and the girls at the front desk are very nice too. read more

I've known Dr. Berne for over a decade. He's a great doctor and a kind human being. As far as his treatments go, that's where my opinion takes a nose-dive. I went to him for everything from laser hair removal (which was completely ineffective after 10+ treatments) to pimples (also useless). The one thing he's good at is mole removal. He's funny and gentle, and makes the process pretty quick and painless. Office staff are completely moronic and unpleasant with one exception -- there was one assistant/nurse which was brilliant. The rest make you wonder if they check their brain at the door each morning. read more

Similar to the other reviewers...these people seem to think that no one has jobs or other obligations during the day. If I was to come to this practice, I would have to take a day of work to do so or take a 1/2 day because they do not care about accommodating patients..by having a more convenient schedule for those not able to take a day off of work maybe they are doing so well that they don't see the need to but its still a deal breaker. read more

The charged me $500 to look, literally look at some mole and skin tags on my neck!!! I asked the billing person if they over charged me in error. Pat said these are the new prices. The staff is rude and very unprofessional and computer illiterate. I wish I never went here. Poor medical service and high prices. read more

I'm startled by the negative reviews here. My personal experiences have been exemplary over the course of 20+ years. While I don't see Dr. Berne frequently (luckily for me I guess) he's always exhibited extreme professionalism. No rushing through the appointment, always willing to educate in detail and offer alternatives. Additionally he'll take the time to explore whether anything beyond the reason for the appointment is going on (as long as you're there anyway) which shows some sensitivity IMHO. The procedures he's performed for me have all been successful with no lingering after effects. As far as getting past the gatekeeper on the phone, I'm shocked that any issues arose. I've offered to take a short notice cancellation appt if one arises and been called the next day with a couple of offers................... I think it helps to have some flexibility and imagination when dealing with the medical community. , read more

I was asked to pay $125 (I believe...maybe $150) up front for destruction of one small flat wart on my lip. I supplied this along with my S.S., copy of license, etc. I didn't have insurance at the time, but insurance rarely covers many cosmetological procedures outside of reconstruction. The actual doctor visit was fine & Dr. Berne did exactly what I expected in freezing the wart. It was gone & healed w/in a week. When I came back for a return visit (for him to put the stamp of approval on it), the receptionist asked for another $80. She said it 'might be refundable' after the doctor saw me. I reminded her of what I'd already paid & she informed me this this was common procedure. I told her that in my opinion, the problem was solved & I didn't have to pay somebody to tell me that. I collected my things, and left. This is a bizarre treatment for patients that COULD very well be returning for more visits. I, personally, am a dermatologist's Cash Cow. Instead, I find myself looking for another office just because of this heretofore unknown version of "Let's Milk The Customer". I go to many doctors, some who bill only through insurance; but all of them bill you after the fact. The upfront fee was one thing. Getting hit a second time just for the joy of coming in the door of them maybe assessing you ARE healed is another. I suspect had he found I didn't need a return visit for anything else...I would have paid that fee. read more

I was very happy with all my visits to see Dr. Marble. I had a growth in a very personal and embarassing spot. She made me feel very comfortable and did a great job removing it. It turned out to be a skin cancer...The doctor personally called me and put my mind at ease. Before I found A&G I went to just about every dermatologist in the city and suburbs. It was either a 2 month wait for an appointment, a 2+ hour wait in the office, a gross doctor with skin growths all over his face, outdated practice from the 50's (a typewriter? really?), or the doctor was just a jerk. Why is a good dermatologist so hard to find? Anyway, I was thrilled when I found this place. It's immaculately clean, the office is high-tech, everyone is super friendly and professional, and they were all genuinely caring and concerned. The only reason I'm not giving them a perfect 5 stars is because they charge you a $10 surcharge each month if you don't pay your bill in full! I've never seen a doctor that does that. read more

We love Dr Adams. She is friendly and very thorough. Scheduling is easy and they have availability within a reasonable time frame. The office is very bright, which makes it feel welcoming as well. read more

Fantastic service. I just love the attention and care Dr Berne provided to me. I would recommend this office and Dr Berne The staff is very friendly and helpful. You can tell they work as a team I called this office because of an urgent medical need and my doctor was out of town. The medical care and great bedside manner Dr Berne provided me along with easing my worries and I could he he was actually listening and actually you could see he was thinking of a solution for my issue is enough for me to say with him as a new patient Doctors who actually give you great bedside caring treatment is so important and that is what I received here ! read more

great service professional and very informative. highly recommend them.

I would not recommend this place! They will take you immediately if you have never been there before but once you become a patient, good luck getting appointment within 90 days!! read more

I met with Dr. Berne about some concerns I had. I was very impressed with his approach and recommendations. For my main concern, he in fact suggested I see someone else that could better address the problem and for another issue I have a follow-up appointment scheduled in the fall. He seemed less interested in jumping into a treatment plan and more concerned that I make the best decision and know all the facts. As for people's Yelp complaints about the payment system, it seems reasonable to me. If their clients were reliably paying their bills, they would not need to request payment prior to a procedure. read more

I've been seeing Dr. Berne for about 4 years for rather routine stuff. He usually freezes off a few pre-cancerous things and always checks my skin very thoroughly for skin cancer. He has a wonderful bedside manner and takes quite a bit of time explaining things to me. I'm a red head and I have had a few bad sunburns in my day and I feel very confident that he will catch anything before it can turn into full blown cancer. He *always* reminds me to use sunscreen! read more

I persisted and getting an appointment and I'm glad I did Dr. Adams is phenomenal as well as the staff beautiful queen offices as well very very very happy with the results! read more

Doctor had a very calming, reassuring manner. Treated me for a random and hellish post partum rash and took off a crazy mole. Efficient, easy scheduling, great vibes in the waiting room. 5 easy stars. read more

I was sent to Dr. Berne and I have to say he is one of the best dermatologists I've seen thus far! He educates you on the process and comes up with a plan on how to treat you going forward. I have dealt with some horrible doctors, but Dr. Berne and his team have been great! read more

I have been a patient for many years and have always had a positive experience. Though the doctors change, their practice seems to attract a very high caliber professional. My recent trip to see Dr. Adams was no different. She was very professional with a genuinely caring bedside manner. And Tanya her assistant could not have been kinder. They really put you at ease when you are uncertain as to the news they will be imparting. They truly are the best around. read more

I guess they don't need patients... When I came in for my first appointment and was asked to fill out the forms, I was requested to provide my SSN. I declined to give it out and said that our insurance company assured us the number on the card is enough (this was never a problem before). I, of course, had my insurance card and my driver's license with me. I also offered the referring doctor's name to check my credibility, but was told that this is not good enough. After much discussion the receptionist said that I either had to give them my SSN or pay for the visit in full prior to seeing the doctor and then deal with my insurance company myself. So I just left, since I definitely did not feel welcome or treated as a patient rather than an ATM. Also, I was asked to fill out all the info on a iPad-like device (the receptionist said they were going "paperless"). but right after I gave it back to her, she printed everything out, and not even double-sided. What was the point? read more

been going here for years and never had a bad experience, The Dr's here are all top notch in their profession, appt time is always great and I wouldn't go anywhere else. read more

2 stars only because the facility was extremely clean and I did not have to wait too long to be seen by Doctor. Aside from that, no parking at all, front desk employees are not friendly (not one greeted me or said anything to me until I approached them) and Dr Adams barely looked at me before she insisted on the "diagnosis" which is completely incorrect. Huge waste of time and 140$ plus read more

I've been a patient there for several years now and have always had a delightful and efficient appointment. Medically, Dr. Berne seems very thorough and listens well. Highly recommended. JAH read more

This is my second visit here and I've never waited more than 5 minutes in the waiting area or in an exam room. Staff is attentive to your needs and very friendly. Waiting room and exam rooms are spotless! Glad I stumbled upon this place searching for dermatologist on yelp. Definitely doesn't disappoint. read more

After I had my daughter my hormone went on a massive explosion all over my face. I had tried holistic treatments of every kind. I tried mainstream commercial treatments and nothing seem to help. It getting worse by the day. I visited a nearby dermotolgist who barely spoke or looked at me all he did was prescribe a topical that smelled horrible. I didn't go back and was skeptical about seeking out a new dermotolgist. After a few month of feeling worse I decided to give the derm office one more try. I came across A&G as I was driving down Harlem ave. I came in waited less than 10 mins even after I completely goofed up and came in late for my first appointment. I saw dr. Adams she not only made me feel like a real person but she listened and took all my questions. Not once did she rush me or make feel like a specimen. The staff were not only sweet but kind and polite. The doctor prescribed me a topical and oral prescription she has even gone as far getting my blood drawn in order to make sure all angles are covered. I have seen improvement in my skin and I am fully confident that I am back on the road to clearer skin once more. read more

I LOVE Dr. Berne. Every since I met him I've been very happy. He's great with his patients and has easy bedside manner. He just an outstanding physician. He knows his stuff and has high patient retention. He's educated from Rush and trained in (Stroger) Cook County Hospital. I'm a little fastidious about where my doctors are educated from; it's my medical background that accounts for this. The negative: he rarely has open appointments & it may take a full month or more to see him. That's so irritating. Uggh!!! read more

I recently seen Dr. Berne for the first time and I was extremely impressed with his skill and professionalism. I work in the health care profession and set the bar pretty high for my health care providers. He performed a very thorough exam, provided detailed patient education, all while being pleasant and engaging. His office staff were polite, pleasant and helpful as well. I would recommend Dr. Berne to my family and friends. read more

Dr. Berne was amazing. He took a thorough evaluation of my condition, listened and asked questions. Despite having poison ivy, I must say I was an extremely happy customer leaving the office. Dr. Berne gets 5 stars. The scheduling staff that I encountered, however, deserve 1 star. With a referral and a severe allergic reaction, the staff wanted to schedule me out 1 and a half weeks. I pleaded for a same-day appointment and it wasn't until I broke down in tears that they offered me an appointment that same day. When came for the appointment, Dr. Berne said it was a good thing I came in so quickly- ha! read more

The receptionist are rude and walk around as if they are better than their patients. Listen, no one wants to be at a doctors office finding out they have some sort of disease or cancer. They should be more respectful to their patients since we are the ones that see them for a longer time than the doctor. I spent 30 minutes in the waiting room before the doctor saw me. Not one apology or update from them. They re unwelcoming and seem miserable. A&G can be so much more professional if they had professional assistants and receptionists. read more

Made a first time appointment with Dr. Beth Adams. I was very anxious about suspicious bump similar to skin cancer I had a several months before. For cancer screenings, I prefer a female doctor. My appointment was at 10:30am. I was on bus at 8:30am until 10am. I arrived early to fill out forms and was told doctor was not showing up! They said they tried to call but my log shows they called just minutes before I arrived. Did I want to reschedule? You've got to be kidding. Back for almost 2 hours on bus back home. A waste of half a day. Like I have nothing else to do. read more

I would probably give them about 2 and half stars if i could. I went to the office which was miles away from where I live, because I just really wanted to get it over with and they were one of few offices I called that were willing to give me an appointment before the next Rapture, and they were willing to give me a price estimation. I had Dr. Marble and she was to perform a small surgery under my arm. I was really nervous because I don't often see doctors and she was...sympathetic but obviously rushed. She clearly just wanted to get it over with too. She pretty much just did the cutting and ran out. She didn't ask me if I was okay or needed anything or had any more questions. I still had other health issues to talk to her about. I thought I would like her because of her Bio but she made me feel kind of awkward. Her assistant was nice. Later I noticed it wasn't really the best job and it looks like I'll have a gross scar. I'm bummed. I was glad that the co pay was so little but I took off points when I was leaving the office and noticed someone had left their used gloves on the counter next to the computer. Guess I won't be going back there. read more

Hello, I have been a patient of Dr. Berne for many years and their service has always been great; however, recently there has been a great reduction in the service and accuracy of the billing department. They have a policy which states if a bill is left unpaid for thirty days after the initial bill being sent, a $10 late fee is applied to the account. This is not a problem at all because I always pay all my bills on time. I never even pay interest on any of my credit cards but I have never received any of the letters or "phone calls" they supposedly gave me. This would be an understandable mistake if it only happened once but this is the third time this has happened to me. They have the correct address and phone number but I only receive the final notice in which a $10 late fee was applied and they refuse to remove it. I am truly upset because I really feel Dr. Berne is a great doctor but their billing department is extremely unprofessional and incompetent. I really hope he replaces their office manager with someone who really knows what they are doing because I would love to be Dr. Berne's patient again. read more

Today was my first time going in to this dermatology facility, to have a few warts removed, and I could not have had a more pleasant experience. The place is clean and the office staff are polite, helpful, and welcoming. The doctor who I saw was Dr. Berne and he was by far the best doctor I have ever out of all other health care professionals I have seen. He is extremely charismatic and is fully engaged with his patients. You can tell he loves his job and he has the best interests of his patients. During my consultation he spoke clearly and made sure I understood everything he said. He did not rush me whatsoever and was completely open and eager to answer any questions I had. When I was ready to move on to the procedure he explained what he was about to do and told me why he believed his way was the best way, but assured me that if I was uncomfortable we could look into alternatives. Throughout the procedure he explained all of his actions step by step. He also kept making sure I was okay and comfortable. He really wanted to make sure I was not afraid or in pain. He put me at ease and made the procedure go by quickly, through conversation. I was extremely pleased with Dr. Berne and I would highly recommend him to anyone else! By far the best experience I could've had. read more

Dr. Berne is an excellent physician! I have both personal and professional experience working with him! Seriously, the man can perform what I consider miracles. I have seen him for acne, mole removal, and scar reduction. My wife recommended him and has seen him for skin conditions including pregnancy induced PUPPS. Her family has also seen him for skin cancer. He has an excellent bedside manner and is practical in his treatments by considering options, cost and time. I have given his name out for many referrals and do so here! Thanks Dr. Berne, you're the best! read more

I was a patient of Dr. Beth Adams when she was in Buffalo Grove and loved her. Of course, I was happy to travel 45 minutes to her new office for an appointment with her - she's that good. Competent, kind, patient, efficient. I have complete trust in her. read more

I've seen both doctors at this practice and highly recommend both! I have always been taken on time for appointments, which is rare these days. Any issues for which I was visiting this practice were resolved quickly and effieciently. read more

The main doctor, Dr. Berne, is a pleasant man, if you can get in to see him. This is a problem because the person who answers the telephone is empowered to decide whether you need to be seen sooner that months away. Unless the receptionist has a medical or nursing degree, this is a problem. Had to find another skin doctor. read more
