Had to have MOHS surgery yesterday on my ear for basal cell cancer...I had been seen by other…read moredermatologists in the past for this problem (not these offices) and they did not do anything to correct or treat it. Dr. Leftkowitz and his assistant, Danielle were absolutely terrific. Took a while, yes to remove everything. (That is what you would want, no?) but Dr. Leftkowitz was thorough, friendly, humorous and highly-skilled. Danielle, his assistant was incredibly comforting, sweet and professional in every way. Experienced, compassionate, and such a wonderful human being. Felt like an "old" friend. A great team and I am so thankful I had them. Because this issue was not treated properly in the past by others,( it had gone deeper) it was a long, timely procedure, but I felt reassured in their competence in removing all the cancer cells. Had to have the plastic surgeon, Dr. Singer suture up the wound but he took the time to make the best decision in what would cosmetically look best and promote the proper healing. It was a large wound and required numerous stitches, but I felt confident in his decision-making. Dr. Singer is another asset to this dermatology office. ***I honestly DO NOT understand all the terrible previous reviews..the staff here were kind, efficient as they could be considering the incredible volume of patients seen, and very pleasant. Friendly, understanding and highly professional. A definite 5 star experience for me. Pleased with the whole Advanced Dermatology experience here in W. Islip and Amityville with Dr. Flashner.

My recovery from the reduction was smooth. I don't know how he did it without me telling him, I am exactly what size I wanted my breasts to be. The caring bedside manner and his staff are amazing at what they do. The insurance paperwork, the instructions, and so diligent of the process were helpful. My only regret is that I didn't have this done sooner. Whatever procedures I have in the future will be with Dr. Pinksy. I have my life back with confidence and couldn't be any happier!!!

Dr. Deane is soft spoken and kind and immediately upon meeting him I felt good about having surgery. He showed me what he could do and the likely outcome if I had lower blepharoplasty (as I developed these bags under my eyes after having facial fillers). Dr. Deane provided me with information and did not push me at all to make a decision. He is very knowledgeable and I was very comfortable with no reservations going into surgery. Dr. Deane and his staff were so kind and conscientious; from the office staff to the nurses and billing staff I felt well taken care of. Although I'm still healing I can already see the improvement. So happy! Thank you Dr. Deane!

At the weight he suggested for the "correct BMI" I would be uncomfortably thin. -I even tried to suggest alternative measurements to determine my surgical risk factors like A1C, Body fat%, Blood pressure, Cholesterol, etc, and he was completely dismissive. -I understand that BMI can indicate certain risk factors during surgery, especially if you're diabetic, have HBP, high cholesterol, etc, but he wasn't interested in assessing my health in the slightest.

Dr. Stephen Harris 500 Montauk Hywy…read moreWest Islip, NY Do not go anywhere near this doctor. He robbed me of my remaining life.

I had written a negative review on vitals. com about Dr. Harris and it was removed. The public has no way of knowing when a doctor is really no good. They control everything. You really have to do your homework before using a plastic surgeon. This decision is one of the most important one you will be making. It will influence the rest of your life.

Horrifying and terrible experience from start to finish seeing Dr. Dobryansky for a broken nose…read moreissue. DO NOT GO HERE FOR NOSE SURGICAL ISSUES. It started with a miscommunication between the doctor and the office on surgery scheduling and the nurse was extremely rude to me when I already confirmed with the doctor. Second and more importantly, Dr. Dobranksy did not communicate or educate well AT ALL and had poor bedside manners when asked questions. I had a broken nose and showed a picture and was told (since going through INS and not cosmetic) that "the hardest thing to do is straighten a broken nose" but then said "I could do it though". I should have done more research myself, but naively thought I would be guided and educated by the doctor. He made my cry right before my surgery after showing a picture again, was so rude during my post op follow up/his nurse was EXTREMELY rude and my nose looked EXACTLY the same (nothing like the picture I showed where his words were exactly "I can get you to that"). He simply should have said, I can't do what you are asking for ... I felt scammed with his miscommunication, dishonesty and lack of education to the patient. I had surgery for no reason. His staff was extremely rude throughout a hard process (as it is dealing with your face) AND to top it off - they never called my medication in before surgery, he said there was no stitches on the outside of my face and after leaving I realized THERE WAS anddddd they didn't follow up ONCE post surgery...insane and terrible experience all around.

IF YOU HAVE HYPERPIGMENTATION AND BROWN SKIN, THIS PLACE IS NOT FOR YOU…read more I'm a South Asian woman with Fitzpatrick IV skin -- medium-deep, melanin-rich. My skin condition was actually pretty good over all, except for a recent tan and hyperpigmentation. The staff member whom I consulted with recommended a series of Helix Cool Peel treatments, claiming "there is minimal downtime, just a little red for a day or two" and that 3 peels would "almost completely take care of all the problems." No legitimate skincare professional should make that promise to anyone, let alone to a patient with darker skin where chemical peels carry a documented, well-known risk of making pigmentation significantly worse. She then enticed me with a limited-time "special discount." Thinking I would miss it, I fell for the scheme and hastily accepted the deal. After the procedure came the aftercare instructions. There was no real mention of sunscreen, which is the single biggest omission, regardless of the client's skin color. They failed to mention that the controlled micro-damage to the skin barrier leaves it significantly more hypersensitive to the sun, requiring more protection than usual, not less. A competent, up-to-date with research professional treating darker skin types would have specified SPF 50+ tinted sunscreen with iron oxides. These are critical for protection against visible light, which disproportionately triggers pigmentation in darker skin types. Instead, they said to avoid the sun and left it at that. Being huge on sunscreen, I followed my usual routine plus wore a hat, mask, and sunglasses. I didn't know it, but these precautions were barely keeping the worst effects at bay during this period. On one sunny afternoon, a couple of weeks after my last peel, I removed my hat and mask for about half an hour during a special outing to take photos. I had applied EltaMD tinted sunscreen earlier anyway. Hours later, I caught my reflection. My medium brown skin had turned muddy brown -- visibly off, the way a person looks when they're pink all over from a bad sunburn. It was the exact outcome I had been most afraid of, and I didn't any active treatments to fall back on. I hoped it was temporary. It wasn't. My foundation shade no longer even matched. In retrospect, it makes sense. The staff appeared to have fairer complexion, which isn't disqualifying, but they likely didn't have personal experience with tanning quickly the way I do. They should have taken even more care to follow the latest research about dark skin. It took months to reverse the damage, but 1 year later, my skin looks normal again and the hyperpigmentation has even faded somewhat. It's all thanks to topicals like tretinoin, azelaic acid, and hydroquinone, which are the dermatological gold standard. They're slower, yes, but gentle, and they actively mitigate accidental sun damage by interrupting the pigmentation cascade. I'm also looking into trying RF microneedling, specifically Morpheus8, which is significantly safer for darker skin. They work alongside the topicals and can raise your improvement ceiling from 30-40% with topicals alone to 60-80% combined, without the dangerous post-procedure hypersensitivity window. To find these special deals, not scams, check Groupon. Before booking anywhere, research the risks for your specific skin tone, then call and ask the practice directly: What is your post-procedure sun protection protocol for Fitzpatrick IV skin? What is your plan if my skin darkens after treatment? Can I see before and after photos of clients with my skin tone? If they can't answer specifically, walk away.
