Wow where do I start? One of my family member's was a patient of Dr. Lubianker. He had been complaining about a strange growth on his face. The dr. kept telling him it was just scar tissue from a previous skin cancer removal. A yr later, someone finally got smart and did a biospy and it turned out that it was a recurrent skin cancer. As of today, he has had several stages of surgery to remove the tumor and they still aren't able to get it all out without permanent damage. If I was able to give negative stars he'd be a -50. If you want a Dr. who is going to advocate for you and listen to your concerns do not see this man. read more

Doctor L was able to diagnose and fix my daughters skin condition with one visit. After using the medication he prescribed her long term problem disappeared in a week. The visit was short, quick and painless. read more

Wish I had read these reviews before making an appointment. I've been terrified to get a mole looked at for years. When I finally booked and appointment and then came to my appointment, without any explanation or information, he removed the mole without any warning and put a bandaid over it. I woke up in the middle of the night to it bleeding through the bandaid and hurting. So then he schedules a follow-up appointment to review my test results. I took off work early, asked my mom to take work off early too to go with me because I was nervous. We sat in the waiting room for 45 minutes past my appointment time before they took me back. Once in the room, I waited another 10 minutes before he came into the room. When he got into the room, he looked at where he had removed the mole to "check it's healing". Then informed me that my test results weren't in yet but that they'd call me if there were "any issues". I had been anxiously waiting for these test results for a month. Skin cancer is a sensitive subject and not something I take lightly. Completely insensitive and wasted my time. I could have looked at the area and told anyone it healed fine. I wouldn't have come in had I known the test results weren't here. I don't doubt that he is knowledgeable but his customer service and bedside manners are horrible. Wish there was as a zero review. read more

This man should not be a doctor or work with the public in anyway shape or form. This creepy man has no personality and should have retired 80 years ago. He does not listen to, or seem to care about any of your concerns. It seems like he just wants to get you in and out as fast as possible His extremely rude staff does not inform patients about what is covered by insurance. I just received a surprise $190 bill two months after I had one mole removed. This operation took him all of five seconds to perform. I didn't know that mole removal is performed with the same kind of razor that you would find a Ace Hardware. DO NOT USE THIS DOCTOR!!! read more

I sure wish I would have read these reviews before I took my mother in law there. He basically came in, 5 second look, literally tossed the prescription at us and walked out. I don't think he even spoke. read more

Rude staff, I just got off the phone with her and hmmm I cant say anything nice so dont say anything at all. no good results from this doctor's services :-( no bueno and can anyone out there recommend an Acne doctor? read more

I find Dr. Lubianker and his staff to be pleasant and accomodating. Maybe things have settled down since the other reviews were given. A local doctor recommended him and said that he was the best at diagnosing a dermatology problem. read more

First off, I'm mad at myself for not trusting the reviews before I went. Most of the reviews were several years old so I gave this guy a chance. A total waste of my time and money! I had a $60 co-pay for my daughter to literally see this guy for less than 2 min. He didn't even look at her. He walked in and just started filling out a prescription, which you HAVE to fill in the downstairs pharmacy because no other pharmacy would be able to read what he wrote! He didn't even spell her name correctly! And he only wrote the prescription for a 30 day supply because of course he wants to see her again! No thank you! I have to accept the fact that I threw $60 away and move on! DO NOT GO TO THIS DOCTOR!! read more

Just had to vent this. I made the decision to try Dr. lubianker out despite the poor ratings, posted here and several other sites as well. I figured that there couldn't be much harm as what I was being seen for was minor, and he was close. Well..... Let me first say that my first appointment went O.K. (as stated in other post, his manner and personality leaves a lot to be desired) he took a biopsy and said see you in a month with results. I went in today with an appt. time of 10:15. Waited till 11:20 then finally asked what the deal was, and was told he was running behind. Duh!! but I was next up. They called me back about five minutes later, put me in a room and the doctor comes in and says oh we don't have your test results back. There at my other office, sorry. What?! Words can not convey just how unprofessional this man is. He did not seem to care at all that he wasted my time, or that he was totally unprepared for my follow up even though he had a month to do so. It's worth the drive and money, to go elsewhere if at all possible. read more

Some of these folks complain about the bedside manner. I've never had an issue with it. While a dermatologist from the Mayo clinic was unable to diagnose my disease, after 3 visits, Dr. Lubianker new what it was right away, and ran the right tests to confirm. It is a cancer that is diagnosed in about as many people per year that are struck by lightning. read more

Went to this doctor for my daughter's skin, the staff was rude, the doctor was rude and didn't listen to anything we were saying. So we never went back I can't believe anyone goes to this doctor, there are way better skin doctors out there and better staff to check in with. read more

I have gone to Dr L for many years for difficult to solve long term skin problems and find him to be helpful and kind. He has had me try many new medications some of which the pharmacist has never heard of. Dr L. seems to be a quiet sort of person and that is okay with me. He will listen if you speak to him in a calm "straight to the point" way. I have also gone to other dermatologists in the area and although they may have more dazzling personalities, I find that Dr. L's recommendations end up being the best at least for me. He gives me sample meds to try before I go out and buy the expensive meds. Perhaps he does best with the older, calmer, respectful patients. Actually I find he charges less than some of the newer dermatologists. read more

First time we saw him was in Gilroy. It went ok. Then we went to his Bascom SJ office because he told us to go there for our follow up, since we live up here. His staff was very nice, but none of our papers (or the patient before us) came over from Gilroy. We had to redo all of it. First thing, it's NOT ADA Complaint. We couldn't get my mom's wheelchair into any of the exam rooms. When he saw her, he rudely asked why did we go to SJ, they did not have the facilities for a wheelchair and we should have gone to Gilroy. Really, he told us to. Then after all that, he saw mom for maybe 5 minutes, didn't write anything down & told me to come back in a month but make the appointment for Gilroy. I have asked the healthcare provider to find us a different dermo for her next follow up. read more
