I went recently to this location to visit Dr. Nazarian. I was very impressed with my visit. The office was very clean. The receptionist was very kind and friendly as soon as I came in. The seats have notes in the waiting room to identify the seats that could be used for safe social distancing. I did fill out the paperwork ahead of time before my visit, and it did not recognize in the system. I was told that they had updated their computer system. When I arrived, I needed to fill out the information on the iPad. I suppose it was ok because I did have to wait anyway. The receptionist was very apologetic. Dr. Nazarian and the staff saw me promptly as I did see she had a lot of patients that morning as I arrived. She was very thorough and took the time to explain, address and listen to what my concerns were. She is knowledgeable, very kind, warm. You can tell she is a beautiful person inside and out - and does care about her patients. I have gone to other Schweiger offices and I have never had the positive experience that I did here at their Upper West Side location. I will most certainly be back. read more

Dr. Jocelyn Gandelman bedside manner and follow-up is amazing. She solved my skin issues that was happening on and off for years. other doctors I've seen would keep prescribing me steroids but she truly cares long term what would happen to your skin and the follow-up was what i needed to get the issue resolved. I do wish this place gave more samples like the other schweiger Derm offices. It's rare here even when asked. read more

CROOKS. AVOID As a medicare patient I pay 20% co pay but Schweiger charged me 25% for every procedure over a 2 year period. Impossible to reach customer service and after admitting to me it is an error they send the bill to a collection agency. The surgeons over book appts and have permanently scarred me as they are to busy to render appropriate care. read more

My 15-minute appointment led to over two hours of phone calls trying to reach someone in the office due to a prescription mix-up. The medical assistant failed to ask for my preferred pharmacy and sent it to the wrong one. When I notified her, she promised to cancel and update it, but the correct pharmacy didn't received the prescription because she didn't cancel it correctly. I've been unable to reach the office directly, resulting in multiple calls rerouted to customer service agents across the Midwest and New York who have tried to escalate this. They too, have not been able to get a response from the Hackensack office. Still no response, and my prescription remains unfilled. What a shame. Update: I called the pharmacy and they finally received the order, over 2 hours after I left my appointment. read more

I went for a cyst examination that was on my shoulder. Doc took forever to come in, was very dismissive of my concerns and basically said they mostly/only do cosmetic stuff here. Then had to pay copay and fee for the consultation even with insurance. scam PLACE. read more

I went to see Dr. Nazarian for the first time in 2019 for a skin rash; she was amazing. I recommended her to everyone. I went back last year for treatment of a scar that continued to get reinfected and for brittle nails. She told me there was nothing that could be done for either and was pretty dismissive. She suggested I go to a nutritionist. I went for a second opinion at - of all places - a strip mall dermatologist. I saw a nurse practitioner who 1) correctly diagnosed the star 2) gave me a quick injection and follow-up appointment, and 3) a product to help strengthen my nails. In two weeks, the scar was nearly healed. Needless to say, I don't know what changed, but I probably won't go back to Schweiger. read more

I've always had such a great experience being a patient over the years at Schweiger. This Review is specifically for Dr. Kass Sadri. I had to get a precancerous mole excised off my chest, as a woman thats a pretty vulnerable spot. When I found out I had a male doctor I was very apprehensive. I could have not felt more comfortable. Dr. Sadri told me every single step along the way. We spoke about college as he worked on me to get my mind off it and he thought I was the impressive one going to art school in Manhattan when he's the one working medical magic LOL. I went into this procedure not caring if I had a huge scar or not. I write this review a year after my procedure because I was just looking for my scar and could barely even find it, thats how good of a surgeon he is. Dr. Sadri's medical and personal skills are impeccable. I would recommend him to anyone! Thank you Dr. Sadri! read more

I recently visited Schweiger Dermatology after a horrible experience with a different dermatologist downtown. I showed up early to my appointment and the ladies at the front desk were kind and welcoming. The team was accommodating and were able to get me in early. I then met Vivian Parham and was so pleased with her professionalism, knowledge and ease. It is difficult to find Doctors of color so this immediately made me feel comfortable. I have already recommend Vivian and this office to several good friends and I will be back for my follow up apt soon. read more

I have had several visits with Alexandra Gold and I am so beyond pleased! I came in with horrible breakouts and and with the personal regimen that she established, my face was completely clear in less than 3 months! She is extremely thorough with each appointment, taking the time to access the situation and explain the best possible solution that is customized to my needs. She is up to date on the newest and latest products and treatments. Alexandra always makes me feel very comfortable in her care. I would recommend her for all areas of treatment! Attached is my before and after over the course of three months. I am so grateful to Alexandra for these incredible results!! read more

I can't remember the last time I felt so welcomed at a medical office. The reception staff were super friendly and kind, as was the knowledgeable and personable practitioner I saw, Vivian Parham. Grateful that this gem of a place takes my insurance! read more

i just went and they are very convenient. Saw a PA named Vivian who I could not believe wasn't an MD dermatologist Very gentle, easy to explain the issues, very very knowledgeable. I'm a physician myself. I applaud good treatment, respectful service with kindness wherever I find it. five star visit. read more

This place is a joke. I made an appointment for my son's rash on Zocdoc. I checked in at the office and paid my copay. Then the receptionist told me the doctor doesn't see minors. They could have told me before I came into the office or before I made my copay. I had to wait for 30 minutes for the receptionist to pay me the refund when she kept attending to other people who came in later than me. Unbelievably awful service. read more

I decided to experience for myself what certainly felt like a bag of mixed reviews (both on Zocdoc & Yelp) in hopes of finding the right doctor for my general skin concerns. Very hesitantly I decided to schedule for a consultation with Dr. Gold - and boy, do I regret this. To be perfectly frank, my 2-stars are only achieved by the pleasant attention of the receptionist that morning and the very short waiting time; after this brief interaction, everything pretty much fell into a pit of despair. The nurse practitioner who saw me first, quickly introduced herself and started asking the standard general questions in order to prepare Dr. Gold with my concerns before she came in herself. The main issue at this point, was that this nurse practitioner made it a clear point to stand so far away from where I was sitting down that it almost felt as if she was disgusted with my presence in this office - it was a very odd situation and something I've never experienced in my life before. This whole interaction lasted for about 5 minutes or so, going over general questions and the like - sadly this was the bulk of my visit to this office as Dr. Gold could only deem herself to see a patient for about 3 minutes or so. After this, Dr. Gold entered the room and asked all the same questions again (perfectly fine procedure, and many doctors certainly do the same in order to ensure all pertinent information is being collected), however - and this is a big however - she would not let me finish answer any question she was posing, quickly interrupting with another question. I never really got to answer anything fully before she started putting on her gloves and approaching my face. I had also inquired about a general examination of my face to determine if there were any treatments she would recommend - this never happened. I had inquired about discussing my skin "history" as I have really sensitive skin and a very thorough medical history with dermatologists which I would have loved to have discussed with Dr. Gold - this never came up. I had inquired and showed great interest in learning what kind of skin treatments this practice could offer (peels, facials, microdermabrasion, botox, etc.) - this never came up. After the quick repeat of questions by Dr. Gold, she quickly scrambled to get a magnifying glass of sorts to look at my face (mainly my nose area), and in less than 20 seconds or so she took gloves off, put everything away and sat down for a diagnosis. She very hastily explained what I was being prescribed and seemed incredibly annoyed at any and all my follow up questions, which I was posing to ensure I would apply the medication correctly. Honestly, I don't even know if I applied anything correctly in the 2-weeks I was instructed to use the various products. All in all, I was in and out - I kid you not! - in less than 10 minutes, including my interaction with the receptionist. Now, I don't know about ya'll, but even though I'm blessed to have what I consider amazing insurance with Aetna, I still have a co-pay that needs to get paid (a little over $60 for full disclosure) and it's highly culpable to me that for "x" amount of money that a patient is expected to pay (let alone whatever else the practice gets from our insurance companies), they only allow themselves to see a patient for about 10 minutes. Aside from this huge grievance in regards to the time spent actually seeing the doctor, I did not see any results with the medication I was prescribed. Not surprisingly, considering I only had someone look at me for seconds before spewing a list of products to get at the pharmacy. Do yourself a favor, read the lower reviews and you'll find the same common variables in regards to Dr. Gold. Steer away. read more

I've been in to see Alexandra Gold about 5 or 6 times this month for a skin condition that another dermatologist could not exactly say what it was despite being a top dermatologist whose name is well known and highly regarded. I went back into Schweiger Derm because I felt the most confident with the information and treatment ideas I had initially received. I had made my initial appointment in a rush and I will admit I was hesitant for a few reasons but within moments of my exam, I felt at ease. Alexandra is confident and smart and was very honest about my condition. I had done a fair amount of research on my own. She gave me a treatment plan and slowly but surely my nightmare condition resolved itself. Who knows how long I would have been dealing with this issue had it not been for my visit here. Everyone on the staff is so sweet and patient and kind and they made my life that much easier by recommending a pharmacist who filled my script same day and delivered to my door - what a luxury. I can't say enough kind words about everyone I've encountered at Schweiger and am truly thankful for the wonderful care I received. 10+ stars! read more

Melissa, I understand you trying to defend your practice; however, to now imply it was a miscommunication is not only weak, but insulting. Most of your "good" reviews are few and far between and suspicious at best (perhaps friends of "doctors" with one or a few reviews and mostly for mere cosmetic procedures). As I said, maybe good as a Botox shop (I wouldn't know) but most definitely not a true medical forum with a doctor that adheres to the Hippocratic Oath. She was curt, condescending and failed to address my concerns and issues; if she didn't want to be there she should not work on Friday's or maybe not practice at all. We ALL have bad days; but when you're on - you're on...check your baggage at the door. I would not recommend your practice. 8/8/2018: Look at the email I received today Are You a Botox First Timer? Did you know that one of the most popular methods for Botox is referred to as "Baby Botox"? This is when a lower volume of Botox than typical is used to target fine lines and wrinkles. This method is ideal for first timers or for younger patients. Is it right for you? read more

I've been going to Dr. Nazarian since July and I'm so impressed with my results. Dr.Nazarian is friendly, knowledgeable and she doesn't push you to use products that you're not comfortable using. And my regime is easy. read more

Schweiger Dermatology Group - These are my current results from July to November - Skin Care Near Me - New York, New York

I have been going to Scweiger dermatology for about 5 years now. I was there this week for a check up. It was the first drs visit of any kind that i have had since the quarantine. They as usual, made me feel comfortable and cared for. The staff and the drs are as good as you can get. Even in a stressful time like now .with Covid 19 on everyones mind.. I feel very lucky to have found them. I have friends that say how tough it is to find caring professionals. Im in good hands here. My dr is Alexandra Gold. She is pleasant, understanding and so knowledgeable. I have skin rashes and dark spots. I sometimes feel self conscious about it. I feel very at ease discussing my issues here. I highly recommend her or any of the specialists. read more

The office is lovely and the front desk staff are very nice. I made an appointment through zocdoc, which alerts you that your appointment may be with an assistant acting "under the supervision" of a physician. I had an appointment with Alexandra, and there was no supervision. Normally I wouldn't really care, but she misdiagnosed me: she said two cysts on my face were actually broken blood vessels that would remain there and the only way to treat them would be with a laser, $250 per location. Well, they came to a head and healed in about a month. I'm not surprised that she misdiagnosed them since she seemed to be in a huge hurry and only glanced at them, but now I'm concerned that I need to get my annual skin cancer screen repeated since she either doesn't know what she's doing or wasn't paying attention. read more

So far, all of the prescriptions and treatment plan I've gotten from them have been reasonable and seems to be working quite well. The only thing that stopped me from giving 5 stars is that they really try to rush you in and out and they never address all of the issues I come in with in one appointment. I have to be ridiculously persistent in order to get any time and attention here. They're just always in a huge rush and try to make you schedule several super short appointments rather than one regular one where all issues are addressed at once. Also, a couple of the people that work here can be quite judgmental and rude. But I do have to give it to Dr. Nazarian because she has suggested treatments no one else has suggested before and they all work great. I initilly was a bit more frustrated with the flaws I've mentioned and decided to seek help elsewhere, but had a pretty bad experience with the other derm I tried so it looks like I might end up a regular patient here. They still seem fishy to me though. I just can't feel comfortable with how they rush around and don't have time for their patients but expect us patients to make so much time for them. read more

I have been to other Derm offices and this one is the first I actually like. Staff was friendly. I was taken in right on time for my appointment. I saw Elana who had a great bedside manner. She made me feel comfortable and I felt like she was actually listening to me and my concerns. Will definitely continue going there. read more

Very good experience, Dr R. Nazarian was very helpful and explained everything in details.I will definitely recommend her to my family and friends, she is a great asset to Schweiger Group. Excellent. read more

Highly recommend! The office itself is so nice and clean. The receptionist was very welcoming and helpful. Hardly hard to wait at all for my appointment, and the appointment itself was super quick but didn't feel rushed. It was a very pleasant experience and I would definitely go back. read more

Very friendly from front desk to the Doctor I worked with! Came in for an annual checkup. They were prompt and on time seeing me which is so hard to find. Thanks for making it hassle free! read more

I've been going to Alexandra Gold for a few months now and have been thrilled with how it's going! She helped adjust my Spironolactone prescription to combat my breakouts and we created a plan for a way to treat my other skin concerns (aging mostly)! I had a Vi chemical peel with her last week on my face/chest and am ecstatic with the results! My skin looks amazing (glowy, clear, reduced micro lines and dark spots). I'll definitely schedule another chemical peel for a few months from now :) I highly recommend Alexandra Gold & Schweiger Dermatology UWS. read more

Physician's Assistant Elana Litwin is excellent. She is very personable, knowledgeable, and has a professional bedside manner. Elana thoroughly answers patients' questions in a very clear way. I'm so glad I found her. My scalp and skin issues alleviated rather quickly with her specific advice and basic prescriptions (I'm very holistic so I wanted non-invasive products). I've been so impressed now I refer others including my mature mother who has been fortunate to get Elana's help resolving her dermatological issues too. I also like how clean the office is, how the medical staff is properly masked and that they've social distanced the seats for COVID safety. This location is perfectly situated in my residential neighborhood and is also close to the trains and buses. read more

I recently had a follow-up appointment with Alexandra Gold and was really happy with her. I have struggled with acne for a while and she was able to make a plan for me in which I've already seen results. She wasn't quick to jump to conclusions and took the time to listen to my daily lifestyle to see what would be the best route. I highly recommend her! read more

OK so I've seen a few of the providers at this location and had great experiences with all of them. Most recently I saw the PA Alexandra Gold. I was struggling with some stubborn acne on my chin and around my nose. Alexandra evaluated my skin and educated me that it indeed was an acne more related to rosacea. She prescribed me some mediations and explained clearly to give them at least 8 weeks trial, however, I felt like we were managing and treating my condition together. She did send my prescriptions to a mail order pharmacy, however, the pharmacy completed the prior authorization so I didn't have to wait. A day later my meds were being sent to me. Could this have been any easier? Thanks Alexandra for the thorough evaluation and ACTUALLY explaining the treatment plan to me. I wasn't ready for things to be perfect on the first prescription try, but they kinda are. read more

I came in for a skin cancer screening, and to talk about some steps to take for anti-aging. Staff is very friendly. They have great hours. Definitely recommend. read more

It was like a Botox Spritzer - weak from the start, and wears off fast.

I had an excellent experience here. Alexandra was incredibly professional, kind and patient. She made me feel at ease and listened to my concerns. I'm so glad I found someone I can trust. read more

Update: I have been going to this location since the summer to find out what it's going on with the skin around my eyes. It has been more than 6 month and I'm still waiting to learn what is going on. I have no problem with Dr. Nazarian but the rest of the staff has this attitude and sense of greatness and that they are better than me. I am not going back. When I go there I feel belittled by the receptionist and the other professionals. They only see me for about 3 minuets and then dismiss me. I don't travel in rush hour after work to make my appointment to be treated this way that's not the way health professionals. read more

The best experience ever. I have had acne on my stomach since I was in middle school but never really took the steps to treat my acne consistently. The staff here is extremely patient, kind, and all around pleasant. Request for Alexandra if you decide to choose this location she literally is the best. read more

1st visit went well! Bright, clean office and waiting area. Nice staff and doctor's assistant. And, Dr. Nazarian couldn't have been nicer, more thorough and cognizant of my time. read more

I loved my experience here. People will forget what you said ... But people will never forget how you made them feel. I went while on a lunch break and I was in and out, back to work in under an hour without a parking ticket. read more

Had a great experience here today! I visited to discuss eczema and acne. Made an appointment quickly via Zocdoc. Was greeted with exceptional warmth by Tasha at the front desk, who pointed out the restroom, water dispenser, Keurig machine, and phone charging station. Was only a short wait til a nurse, Carla, brought me back. She was incredibly sweet, efficient, and professional. She stayed while the PA, Alexandra Gold, came in. The appointment was really quick but not at all rushed. By the time I left, my new prescriptions had been sent to the pharmacy to be delivered tomorrow, I had samples in-hand, I was given hand-written instructions to follow, and I had an appointment for a follow-up. Easy and comfortable. read more

First time patient. Front desk staff was so rude and unprofessional in their demeanor that I walked right out and didn't even bother to see this doctor. I have 0 patience for rudeness in the health care industry. Total lack of sensitivity and professional behavior. read more

Had a 1 year old baby with me showed up 10 minutes late so they cancelled my appointment. Said I could come back in 3 hours. This place is garbage read more

I am so grateful that Schweiger Dermatology is in my neighborhood. As someone suffering from hormonal acne, who is trying to conceive and therefore has very few options for treatment, they are a lifesaver. I went in for cortisone injections for multiple cysts on my face and neck, and they could not have been more accommodating, kind, and understanding. They also offered me some additional options for the awful acne and redness I am battling. For someone who was nearly in tears over the state of her face, they made me feel much better and it is a huge relief that I can get a same day appointment and the treatment that makes such a huge difference in my self esteem and my pain level. I would recommend them to absolutely anyone!! read more

Dr. Rachel Nazarian is the best dermatologist. She has exceptional bedside manners, takes her time to address every question/issue and provides the best treatment options. My skin has never looked better and I always feel so great leaving the office. I highly recommend her for any skin issue/treatment from annual skin checks to Botox peels and lazer. I've done them all and am Very pleased read more

Always very prompt service since I started there as a patient - which is so rare at any doctors office - they understand scheduling! What a relief. And really great staff. Been seeing Ali there and she's excellent. read more
