Recently had my first visit there and I had a full body examination by Dr Lucy Chen. Dr. Chen was terrific doing a thorough exam while allowing me to keep my personal privacy. The entire practice was very professional and the place spotless. Neil Ostroff read more

Absolutely the BEST dermatologist in South Florida. Six decades of "fun in the sun" in South Florida has given me a full array of sun damage. Stacy has worked miracles. Very professional and makes good recommendations for my particular skin issues. Don't even think of going anywhere else! read more

Very helpful staff and wonderful doctors. Recommend for any dermatology needs. Front of house was very kind.

I was quoted a lower price on full face at my consult, I paid $175 to book. I returned for a test spot of co2 laser, I was told Dr Chen recommends ematrix and the price went up. When Dr. Chen came in she said we're going to do ematrix on cheeks, then she also did my nose. I thought, well that's not what I wanted or asked for but she's my doctor so she knows best. Not thinking this is a money grab. I realize now that's exactly what it was. She went over twice on a low to medium setting, which is weird because everyone said on this setting it's 4+ passes. At checkout I was charged full price for full face which I said must be a mistake, dr only did cheeks for two passes and nose. I was told the doctor said that's correct pricing. When I look at my face my full cheeks weren't even done. I honestly feel like I was hoodwinked for $650. I wasn't given proper or full service. I'd paid a deposit for my consult and instead of being charged the difference I was charged full amount. When I called the phone hung up on me while I was speaking to someone so I had to drive back to ask for the refund. Will not be returning to this office which I hate to say because I went to the Mercy Riverchase Derm location for other lasers and treatments and had no problems no complaints did fully what they said they'd do for exactly the price I was quoted. read more

See all

We went to see Dr Lucy Chen because she got amazing reviews. She was very charismatic, knowledgeable, and very kind. Why the two stars? Well, the main reason for the visit was to get a refill for a prescription cream. I made that very clear when making the appointment. However, the actual visit felt more like being at a makeup counter at a retail store than seeing a medical professional --it was all about the upsell. Instead of giving me the cream I had been using successfully for years (because they don't sell it in-house) they recommended an alternative in-house product they claimed was better for $100. I tried it for a month with no results and noticed I was allergic to it. When I told them the reaction my skin had, they gave no refund or exchanges but did happily recommend more of their products that cost $100+ each. It is, at the very least, ethically questionable when the SALE is more important than the patients wellbeing. And, since trust is first and foremost when seeking medical care, I will never be going back. read more

Great care. Super clean. Dr. Chen is wonderful. I would highly recommend Riverchase in Bay Harbor, Florida

Dr. Chemento is the best. I did IPL, Botox, blue peel, and filler and I look 10 years younger. Highly recommend

I was under the impression I was seeing Diane Walter, instead I was placed with Jeriel Weitz. Dr. Weitz was not helpful whatsoever, provided no solutions, and actually made me feel worse than I did before coming in. She spent about 60 seconds with me total, was stand off-ish, and overall not welcoming at all. It's a shame! read more

Wonderful first visit will definitely return had laser done immediate results very pleased

I have been a patient of Dr. Chen for a few years, now mostly always for checkups and the occasional removal of small items here or there. This last checkup however, it was determined that I had a small Squamous cell skin cancer that needed to be removed with a Mohs surgery, which is really not as much a surgery as it is a more detailed excision that gets tested on the spot. If the first cut gets all of it, they stitch you up and that's it, but if doesn't, they continue until the area is clean. As much as these may be routine procedures for skilled dermatologists like Dr. Chen and the other experts at Riverchase, who were carefully selected by Dr. Walder, it was still a little unnerving regardless. The procedure was done today and Dr. Chen, Jamie and the entire staff were fantastic. They are as professional as they come and wonderfully caring. I highly recommend Dr. Chen and the entire team at Dr. Walder's office. read more

Soooo expensive! The range of services they offer is broad, that's good. Stuff are pretty nice and knowledgeable. However, every time I come here, I feel like I'm being taken advantage of. Their prices are ridiculous - some even higher then in NYC. I wanted to do couple of procedures but I just can't wrap my head around the quotes I was given. The pricing is plain unrealistic. read more

Miami Beach has a reputation for inhabiting beautiful people. For years many have been trying to figure out what makes our people so beautiful. Some have guessed that our excellent weather and beaches get the credit, others believe it is the local's diet; but the real secret is starting to get out and her name is Dr. Diane Walder. Simply put, Diane Walder is the Rolls-Royce of skin care. Dr. Walder is a nationally recognized expert in her field. She is the dermatologist that locals use and celebrities fly in to visit. Her practice is comprised of herself and two outstanding skin care professionals; Dr. Cynthia Golomb and Dr. Stacey Chimento.

I was born with psoriasis. Since a child I have been going to dermatologist after dermatologist.. always leaving the offices feeling like nothing was done. Lately my psoriasis has gotten so bad it took family members noticing the rashes and me walking weird due to the psoriatic arthritis to make me realize it's time for a change, and urged me to go to Dr. Chimento. So many years of suffering I felt useless and in my mind thinking I will live the rest of my life like this.. and that is so not the case. My appointment with Dr Chimento was today and let me tell you.. I am so happy that I went, she prescribed me medication that will not just deal with my rashes but will also deal with my arthritis, unlike most dermatologists who just give you a bunch of creams and call it a day. She was so nice, made me feel more than comfortable, and very compassionate. read more

The office and staff are amazing! So helpful and friendly and making appointments are a breeze. And, Dr. Chimento is fantastic!!! At my first appointment, she made me feel so comfortable, like I had been a patient there for years. She is so kind and knowledgable, and I will absolutely be back! Thank you so much!! Janine read more

I have been seeing Dr. Chimanto for four years now and I have to say she is by far the best dermatologists I have seen. She is very caring, takes time to talk through and understand my concerns, she is also very prompt in returning calls, which is sadly rare nowadays. The office staff have always been very helpful and make it easy for you to get in and get out. I highly recommend Dr. Stacy Chimanto. read more

I have scheduled two visits with Dr. Lucy Chen. The first was in May when she detected a potential squamous cell carcinoma which was subsequently confirmed after a biopsy was conducted. Dr. Chen referred me to a local surgeon, Dr. Edward Gross, who was excellent. I called last week and was able to schedule an appointment with Dr. Chen for today to look at some other areas of concern. She evaluated the areas and completed 3 separate procedures that I was very happy to have take place. Dr. Chen is an amazing dermatologist who I am very happy to have found. She is an extremely experienced professional, yet has a very personable approach that I highly value and appreciate in a doctor. Dr. Chen will be my dermatologist for any and all future issues that may show up. I also am very impressed with Lacey, Dr. Chen's nurse, who is a phenomenal human being. Both Dr. Chen and Lacey are dedicated professionals who love what they do and they take a lot of pride in providing the best patient care and creating the BEST patient experience. I am grateful to both of them and highly recommend Dr. Chen to anyone looking for an exceptional dermatologist. The office staff, especially the appointment scheduler and Eileen, are also very personable, professional and efficient. When there are so many dermatologists out there, I assure you that if you go to Dr. Chen, you will be happy to have met her. read more

The office was clean and the front desk is very kind. They helped me and I was seen by Dr. Chimento shortly after I checked in. I just wanted to get my skin checked being that I have fair skin and I moved to Miami, FL from NJ. I was hesitant to find doctors here because I love my doctors back in Jersey, especially my dermatologist because he is wonderful. I have had my fair share of horrible dermatologists so I am very selective. The man I went to in NJ, I had to travel 1 1/2 hr to see him but it was worth the drive. So, we can see I am very selective. (Lol) Well, I figured I couldn't keep flying to see my Dr's in NJ so I made an appointment to see Dr. Chimento. Dr. Walder had good reviews and I figured, "Dr. Walder wouldn't let just anyone work for her if she is this good so let's see how this goes". I was nervous and I wanted to see Dr. Walder, but I ended up seeing Dr. Chimento because her schedule worked out with my schedule. Well, Dr. Chimento was everything in a dermatologist that I was hoping for and more. She checked me thoroughly. She was knowledgeable and had a very nice personality. I was not prepared for how thoroughly she checked me, I greatly appreciate getting a full body check for any unusual freckles or moles that I can not see. I will now consider myself a regular because that experience really gave me peace of mind. I am very happy to know I have a great dermatologist here in Florida, so I no longer have to fly back to NJ to get checked. I highly recommend Dr. Chimento. read more

The best dermatology office in town!!! Doctors Cynthia Golomb, Stacy Chimento and Diane. Walder are the best. The receptionists, assistants and office manager are the most wonderful people, always helpful and very professional. For over 15 years I have been going there and I never had the feeling that I walked into a cold and sterile doctors office, its zen like decor makes you feel welcome and at home. The only thing missing is a Nespresso machine :-) ! read more

I initially came here because I was suffering from severe hormonal acne. Stacy was informative on prescribed medications and was very honest about the time expectancy of my desired results. My cystic acne is completely gone. She also performed E-Matrix laser treatments for my acne scars and enlarged pores. LOVE my results and love this place. The employees are very warm and personable. Highly recommended read more

Dr. Chimento is a super star! She's really good at lip injections, laser procedures, and medical visits. She is very friendly, explains things clearly, and doesn't make you wait. read more

I went to three other places to consult about a procedure I was considering. Every other place did NOT charge a consultation fee. I was very surprised that I was asked for $175.00 upon leaving. I was not told this when I made the appointment. WOW. Im from the midwest and thats alot of money for me. After the consultation I researched the Doctor they had me talk to. She was young and didnt have a lot of experience. Again...not mentioned when I called for the appointment. Disappointing loss of $175. read more

I am so Happy I found Dr. Stacy Chimento she is not only a very knowledgeable dermatologist but she is also very approachable. I been to lots of dermatologist but I always leave with a feeling like I been robbed. In this office I buy what I want and I don't feel like I am being pushed into buying all sorts of stuff I don't need. I love how easy and quick my appointments are and I would definitely recommend Dr. Chimento to anyone in need of a good dermatologist read more

Dr Lucy Chen removed a large squamous area on my forearm......wound was professionally sutured and healing nicely. No pain...which surprised me. read more

I can't say enough, Dr. Chimento is amazing! I was looking for a derm that would incorporate the medical with cosmetic. Everyone is super friendly and helpful. Such a wonderful practice. read more

I always have the most wonderful experience when I visit Dr Diane Walder. I am always greeted with a warm smile and gracious welcome. The entire staff makes me feel special. Dr. Walder has been my dermatologist for 25 years. She has treated my daughter and myself with the upmost care and concern. I would recommned Dr. Walder to anyone seeking the highest level of experience and care. Roz L. read more

Scheduled with Dr. Chimento and had a few things done today. She is excellent! Very quick, and has the perfect answer to anything I asked her. The only issue was that she was very busy today so I couldn't get all of my concerns addressed in one shot. It was a slightly rushed visit. Hopefully when I go back she is less busy. Definitely happy with the staff in the office and everything else. read more

Dr. Chimento is amazing! I had my first visit with her a few months and she was completely welcoming and extremely knowledgeable. She has been the only dr. That's been able to clear up my skin. 100% recommend read more

Thank you Dr Chimento and the rest of the staff at Dr Walders office. You all took such amazing care of me and everyone was super nice. Thanks for fitting me in last minute. You all are great!!! read more

Dr. Chimento is the best you could imagine and so much more. I was teased most of my life because of my severe acne, but with her help I'm clear for the first time ! I have told everyone I know about her. Now my mom and best friends all come to her too. I would never go to anyone else because I feel like she cares and I can trust her 100%. The staff is fantastic as well. I actually look forward to going to my appointments . The only down side is that I usually have to wait two weeks for appointments. read more

The service is amazing, I would recommend Dr. Walder to anyone. She is very knowledgeable and her staff is very attentive.

A true gem in Miami! Dr. Walder is amazing!!! Such a great experience with her and her staff. I love a Dr who under sells. She is so sweet, caring and thorough. I have tried the best Dr's all over and she is A1. If you need a dermatologist that is experienced in skin care and fillers and that will have you feeling on top of the world when you leave, look no further. And to add more icing on the cake, her staff is just as amazing as she is. I could go on and on, but to summarize, I left her office happy. Wish I could give more stars :-). Ironically I found Dr. Walder after reading reviews of another dermatologist's page. The reviewer suggested Dr. Walder after a not so pleasant experience with the other dermatologist. Thanks Yelper ;-)! read more

I went into the office because I developed a nasty rash all over my body. They charged me 175 dollar fee for being a new patient even thought I had been there before and then another 200 dollars by taking unnecessary tests to make more money. Additionally I was charged 300 dollars by the lab company they sent a sample to. This is an office whose mission is to make as much money as possible, not help people. It cost me a fortune and they didn't help me. Go to a functional doc instead read more

Dr chimento she is the best dr in that office I will be not go to see her !! She real she good she everything I only trust her

Dr. Stacy Chimento recently performed an IPL laser treatment on my face and chest. I have Rosacea and Melasma, this can be very difficult to treat. Dr. Chimento specializes in Rosacea. The laser can severely agitate the Rosacea , and also cause the Melasma to darken if not done properly. When I asked her assistant about using numbing cream, as this procedure can be painful, she told me they get better results without it. I was a little scared as my pain tolerance is not very high. I have had bad experiences with other dermatologist burning me with horrible blisters forming on my face; and they did use a numbing cream. Dr. Chimento took the time to explain to me in detail what she was going to do, and that we would take breaks during the procedure. Her assistant used a cooling gel and iced the areas during this treatment. I felt no pain or discomfort whatsoever. Dr. Chimento is a very kind, compassionate doctor. She takes the time to listen to your concerns as a doctor should be to a patient, old school. She does not push additional, unnecessary treatments on you as so many doctors do today. She is a great doctor with a kind heart. read more

Dr. Chimento is AMAZING. She is an artist and perfectionist. If you are looking for a little "natural" tweak here, go not further. She knows her stuff. Additionally, the office staff is incredibly nice....that is a rarity. :) read more

I've gone to so many dermatologist for the dark patches on my skin and for my adult acne, and my face never gets better. In a month Dr. Chimento made my face clear! I saw the difference in a week but by the end if the month, not a blemish in sight. She is also so nice & her staff is very accomodating. I highly recommend Dr. Chimento & her team! read more

I love visiting my dermatologist! Dr. Diane Walder has my total confidence. Whether she's dealing with a medical condition ( a cyst on my shoulder) or a bit of a "touch up" (who me?), her confidence and kindness put me completely at ease. The design of the office and waiting room and professional staff reflect her commitment to a high level of care. And then she walks in and makes everything better! read more

When going to a doctor's appointment you often feel some anxiety , when you have a appointment with this office that is not the case, the staff is first class and makes you feel welcome and at ease, the doctors are fantastic and explain everything to you. I would say that it was a very nice experience and I look forward to my next visit. I am considering a laser procedure for uneven skin tone. I would recommend this office to all. Well I went back and had the Ulthera treatment now being offered, I was told it would take anywhere between 3-6 months to see any skin tightening, it only been 3 weeks and I have friends asking what have you done. I am very pleased and will be back read more

Love the staff, Dr Chimento and Dr Walder are amazing. Botox, fillers, infini laser plus general derm

Dr. Stacy Chimento is a treasure! I am so happy I was referred to her by a great friend.
