Dr. Comite is a great dermatologist and administered excellent care. He was very informative during each one of my visits, explained exactly what was going on and what he was doing, and was able to quickly fix my issue. Not to mention that he seems to genuinely care! Also, his pricing was much cheaper than I was expecting based on quotes from other dermatologists. I will definitely be coming back to Dr. Comite if another issue arises. read more

My dentist, who is top in his field, recommended Dr. Comite to me for an emergency skin-related matter and that professional recommendation was all I needed. Also, in a list appearing in The NY Times of the best healthcare professionals, Dr. Comite is ranked as a top dermatologist. I see why. I am totally happy with my first-time experience under the care of Dr. Comite, and his super professional and kind staff, and with the outcome of my medical condition. Dr. Comite is very research-oriented and results-based. My situation involved a massive cyst on the back of my neck that had become dangerously inflamed. Dr. Comite successfully removed the cyst and over the course of time under Dr. Comite's care my neck has completely healed, virtually no scar. Dr. Comite uses the latest medical procedures and also uses natural healing techniques. The procedures were amazingly painless, even the multiple anesthesia injections were painless, so Dr. Comite has a gentle technique and on a personal level he is very kind, caring, attentive, and has a calming demeanor. His practice is not part of a big corporate medical conglomerate and so I never felt rushed. After the procedure, he thoughtfully contacted me at home to check up on me. Dr. Comite has my highest enthusiastic recommendation. read more

Dr. Comite and his staff have been very helpful! I was able to get an appointment quickly. Dr. Comite diagnosed my issue and made sure that an affordable medication was prescribed. He was caring and attentive; he called me the next day to check on my progress and ensure that I was able to obtain the medication. I am a pleased patient! read more

I highly recommend this Dermatoligist. The office was so kind to squeeze me in the day of as I was concerned about some bug bites I had. I am very specific and bedside manner is of high importance to me and this doctor was very professional, thorough, and went the extra mile. You can tell he cares! If you want an office that is affordable, reliable, enjoyable come here :) read more

I went to Dr. Comite to have laser treatment on my face for 4 brown spots I wanted removed. The procedure did not take long at all and was not painful as I was expecting. Before starting the laser treatment, he clearly explained what would be done and what I would feel and what possible side effects would be over the next few day or weeks. He took photos of the areas he would treat. He is very professional and knowledgable and answered my questions and concerns. I appreciated that later that night he called me to see how I was doing and to find out how my skin was feeling and looking so far. It shows that he really cares about his patients. Within just a few days 3 of the 4 brown spots were totally gone and with no scarring! The 4th brown spot got much lighter and smaller. It actually was a birthmark so not surprised it didn't completely disappear. I am extremely pleased with the results! His office is conveniently located to Grand Central Station and the subways which pleases me. His staff was very nice and helpful. I highly recommend Dr. Stephen L. Comite as a dermatologist and will be sure to recommend him to friends! read more

I'm very surprised by all of the 5-star reviews for Dr Comite on Yelp. That should be a sign that perhaps some of these Yelp reviewers may not be authentic? Not even one with even a 4-star? I believe Dr Comite has good intentions. But patients should watch out for certain business practices designed to keep you coming back for more visits than required. For example, Dr Comite may take samples and send them to a lab but will insist that you visit him each week for a quick billable visit where he will look at you for 30-seconds and say 'we're still waiting for the lab results to come in'..... if you're not careful, the office may keep this up for up many weeks and then try to repeat the process. If you choose to visit Dr Comite or any dermatologist, do not go back to the office for a visit until you're certain any test or lab results are in, otherwise you will be paying for meaningless visits. Also, the costs of these lab results seem to vary. It's good to ask questions about why one particular lab result may cost $70 and another similar one may cost $400? Another thing that a patient needs to be aware of is that Dr Comite's philosophy toward dermatology is all about 'managing' and reducing your symptoms. In my opinion, he seems to more much focused on long-term, minimally invasive procedures.. such as the application of topical medications, and recommending lifestyle changes and over-the-counter products, etc rather than prescribing powerful medicines or employing hi-tech devices and techniques that other doctor's may not hesitate to recommend. In the past, Dr Comite has given me one diagnosis and then months later, he will offer a contradictory diagnosis. If your condition does not improve, I have seen him become agitated and blame the patient and their genetics for the problem or lack of progress. At other times, Dr Comite was very kind, patient and attentive. So it your treatment depends on his mood that day. Another tip if you visit any dermatologist for a consultation, is that you might just go into the office to deal with a small, localized issue, but the doctor will insist on giving you a 'full-body' exam, which will quadruple the cost of your consultation without warning. If you are paying out-of-pocket, then I advise you to refuse this request for a 'full-body' exam if you are just going in for a quick consultation. Overall, I think Dr Comite cares for his patients. But if you're not seeing any improvement in your condition after several months, then don't hesitate to seek care elsewhere. read more

very friendly doctor! I searched Google to find dermatologist near me because I had weird bump on my upper lip area. I called in to make an appointment and was able to book on same day! Office was easy to find, very close to Grand central station. I went in and since I was a new patient, I filled out some info and soon, I was called in. Dr. Comite examined the problem area very carefully and told me my options. He answered all my questions and was very patient. He asked me several times if I had any other questions. He referred me to plastic surgeon near me who is very good with reasonable price since I needed a surgery in sensitive area. Dr. Comite himself called me later to check on me to make sure I had any other questions and told me I can call him anytime if I have any questions. I was surprised since no doctors did that EVER!! I called many other dermatologists in Manhattan to compare initial visit price since I don't have insurance and Dr. Comite's office had most reasonable price and was close from me. I definitely recommend him to my friends & family!! read more

Dr. Comite has helped overall improve my skin with his recommendations and facial creams. He is a very patient doctor and is willing to answer any questions you may have - he spent the time to answer all of my questions in terms of improvement and medications. His staff is very friendly and also willing to answer any questions - Scheduling is easy, as well as rescheduling. The wait in the office is usually 10-15 minutes max. Overall I think Dr. Comite is a wonderful doctor, and I would recommend him to anyone that wants immediate skin improvements. read more

I wish all doctors were as skilled and kind as Dr. Stephen Comite.

I have seen Dr. Comite for about 10 years to monitor my skin for cancerous moles, etc. He always explains the procedure thoroughly & follows up with a phone call. He has also treated me for Eczema and other skin issues. I find him to be knowledgeable and caring and have recommended him to friends. read more

I've seen Dr. Comite for many years. He is simply the best derm around!

Dr. Comite is a caring and thorough dermatologist, who I cannot recommend highly enough. I have been seeing Dr. Comite monthly, for the past few months regarding an Accutane course to combat acne. I relocated to New York from Philadelphia mid course. Dr. Comite made the transition painless. He is always up to date on the latest procedures and treatments. Dr. Comite specializes in the treatment of acne via Accutane. He has given me such great advice for how to deal with side effects and dryness. Another benefit of using him as a doctor vs. many others is that he does his own blood work. Firstly, with accutane you need to get blood work done every month, which in most cases may mean not only a monthly doctors visit but also, a trip to the lab. Dr. Comite does it all in office, streamlining the process. Overall, Dr. Comite is an amazing dermatologist. I am so happy to have him as my doctor. read more

I can't recommend Dr. Comite enough - he is exactly what you want in a doctor. He explains things clearly, sees patients quickly, and has a staff that is kind and helpful. He is at the top of his field and can answer any question from the mundune to the complex. I and my entire family have been seeing him for over a decade and have always been impressed with his knowledge, responsiveness, and care. read more

I cannot recommend Skinprovement Dermatology enough! I had been dealing with adult acne for years & they finally helped me find the solution to combat it for good. They helped clear my skin up in just a few months! Since they are a small team, they really make you feel like family & you can tell they genuinely care about helping you improve your skin - in whatever way that may be. Very thankful I found Dr. Comite & his team! read more

Dr Comite has been my dermatologist for almost a decade and I can recommend him without any hesitation. He takes his patient's care to heart staying up to date in his field and listening attentively to whatever concern you might bring to the appointment. He always ensures you are comfortable and informed before starting any procedure. Quite simply - an excellent doctor! read more

Fantastic Derm! I saw several Derms over the years and no one was able to successfully diagnose the type of dermatitis I had nor come up with an effective solution. Until I went to Dr Comite about 14 years ago. Dr. Comite is thorough, conservative in his treatment and really cares about getting results for his patients! read more

Dr. Comite has been my dermatologist for as long as I've gone to one (almost two decades)! There is obviously a reason I continue to return to him and his staff. Dr. Comite is a wonderful dermatologist, but he possesses a humanity I feel is rapidly disappearing from the medical world--he truly understands "bedside manner" and I always feel like my skin is in good hands. He assesses each patient's situation carefully and does not make rash or impulsive judgments or suggestions based on fillers or whatnot that could make him money. I could not recommend him more highly. I have never asked him a question to which he did not have an answer! What else could you ask for? read more

I'm happy to add to the great reviews. Dr. Comite was professional and knowledgeable and was patient in explaining this thoughts. He followed up with a phone call to ensure things were going ok and now he's my go to Derm in Manhattan. read more

I go to Dr Comite every six months for a full body checkup. His office is extremely efficient, never a wait and you get in and out quickly for routine visits. The doctor is very knowledgeable and thorough but also attentive. He follows up afterwards after any procedure to see how you are and takes the time during and after the appointment to listen to you. Excellent. read more

Dr. Stephen Comite is one of the most thorough and caring doctors I have gone too. He goes the extra yard. Most times when I go to him he calls me at home to follow up. There is never a long wait when I have an appointment.He also makes excellent recommendations when I need to follow up with another doctor. The staff is both friendly and professional. read more

I started seeing Dr. Comite approximately two years ago. Though in my 30s, I was still getting pimples on my face on a consistent basis and I figured that enough was enough. Dr. Comite helped me with a more permanent fix. He understood my situation and put me on a new acne routine. While my skin improved, I was still frequently getting pimples. Dr. Comite then recommended that I take the next step and go on a low dose of accutane. Problem solved. I haven't had a single mark on my face since I started the medication. I'm hoping that continues forever but even if it does not, I trust that Dr. Comite will be able to work with me on any future issues. read more

My children - now adults - and I have gone to Dr. Comite for more than 10 years for a wide range of dermatologic treatments. He takes time with each patient, discusses all treatment options and never rushes his patients. He always checks in the same day or at the latest the next day, to answer any questions, be sure I don't have any complications and make sure I am comfortable. When he's away, he has excellent coverage. His staff is friendly, warm and knowledgeable. They call to confirm appointments, and remind me the day before! He has excellent training and regularly attends conferences/seminars/dermatological society meetings to ensure he stays on top of new developments in the field. Overall, I am highly satisfied and will continue to see Dr. Comite for my dermatological needs. read more

Dr. Comite is so caring and dedicated. He took his time with my husband's in office procedure, and made sure everything was fine before we left. He made sure to follow up later on as well. His office staff is wonderful as well. We are thrilled to have discovered him and will continue to return and recommend him to others. read more

I've been a patient of Dr. Comite for almost 30 years. I've had a history of troubled skin, and still get flare-ups in my 40's. Dr. Comite and his always kind staff have taken care of me through my issues through all these years, and I'm extremely grateful for their help and counsel. Thanks Stephen, and look forward to many more years of working with you. read more

I was in NYC on a business trip and was referred to Dr. Comite. He got me right in, clearly got the right diagnosis, set me up with the right meds and even recommended others doctors I could see on my other stops on my business trip if things didn't improve. He called my cell the next day to make sure things were OK. I'm a fan. He was great, staff were great, easy and effective. read more

I have been a patient of Dr. Comite for more than 15 years. Simply put, he is the best dermatologist around. He has excellent training at the best hospitals in the country, and is an excellent clinician. He caught a very early Melanoma that saved my life as it was caught early. In addition to skin cancer, where he is an expert, he also has managed to keep me looking young through his cosmetic procedures. He has an excellent sense of aesthetics, and never does too much. I have gone to other dermatologists and can say with 100% certainty that if you want an excellent doctor with the skills to diagnose, the experience to treat, and the aesthetic sensibilities to keep you looking young, Dr. Comite is your man. I choose my doctors based on their expertise and excellence as a physician. Dr. Comite has the qualities one would look for-- broad experience, excellence and best in class. read more

Dr. Comite is an exceptional dermatologist. I have been going to Dr. Comite for almost 15 years and I do not have enough good things to say about him and his staff. He has that rare combination of being both extremely knowledgeable and highly personable with a first-rate bedside manner. He is up-to-date on all issues and very detailed. Given my fair skin and some other medical issues, I have regular issues with my skin and the doctor has always quickly and very efficiently dealt with all my issues. I have received many compliments from close friends saying how much better my skin has gotten over the years. He provides very quick and personal follow-up (with any moderate issue, he almost always calls later that day to check in). He and his staff take detailed and comprehensive notes (my file is now almost the size of novel) which means that nothing falls through the cracks. He is extremely accommodating when it comes to appointments. Moreover, I recently had a skin issue come up on a Friday before a holiday weekend so I contacted him and he came into the office on his day off to take care of the issue. I know there are very few doctors who would do this but it is a perfect representation of the type of doctor and person he is. I give Dr. Comite my highest recommendation. read more

My wife, my children, and I have been patients of Dr. Comite for too many years to count. Between fair skin, moles, rashes, acne, and various other skin-related issues, he and his staff have provided my family with nothing less than exceptional care. When we've experienced rashes, he has cured them when possible and provided medication to keep them in check when not. When he's had to remove precancerous moles, he has done so with no or the most minimal amount of scarring. When my son was suffering from acne, he treated him with Accutane, completely resolving the problem. Dr. Comite is compassionate and caring and his staff is efficient and friendly. In short, I believe that he is an extraordinary doctor. read more

Dr. Comite and his staff are absolutely amazing! I was recommended to him from family and when I first went to see Dr. Comite my skin was in bad shape-I had very active acne, worse than I ever experienced before in my life. After having graduated from college I didn't expect this skin change and I didn't know how to improve it or if it would even improve. Dr. Comite however, was extremely knowledgeable, optimistic, and truly cared about helping me get my clear skin back. My visits were always friendly and comfortable which was important to me during a time when I was feeling less than myself. After only a few sessions, Dr. Comite and his team found the correct treatment to clear up my skin. Within a month my skin showed improvement and in only two months my skin drastically improved. After being a patient of Dr. Comite's for over four years I couldn't be happier! My skin has continued to be clear and I know if I have any questions or concerns an answer is just a phone call to the office. I'm so thankful to have found such a dedicated doctor in the field of dermatology. I highly recommend him to anyone with any dermatology needs. read more
