Dr. Zelaya has been my dermatologist for the past decade. He is hands down the best dermatologist!!!! Dr. Zelaya has exceptional bedside manner and is very professional. I never feel rushed; answers all of my questions and clearly articulates treatment plan. I have referred my family and friends to him. Dr Zelaya is in a league by himself.

Hands down, Dr Zelaya is one of the best dermatologists that I have ever seen. He is extremely professional and has an excellent bedside manner. He is also able to diagnose the most mysterious skin disorders. I've gone to him for issues that my regular pcp couldn't diagnose. His choice of treatment is also spot on. Any medication topical or oral that he has ever prescribed provides relief within days.
His staff is also friendly and professional.
Can't recommend him enough.

I used the free website ZocDoc to easily make a last minute appointment. I decided at 2am that I needed to see a dermatologist and was able to make an appointment for that day at 11:30am.
For that reason I didn't mind waiting around 30 minutes. The staff was considerate and apologetic about the wait.
I was expecting to see an associate but I met with Dr. Zelaya. He could not have been more compassionate and helpful during our appointment - his friendly manner put me at ease as I was feeling a bit distressed about my skin issue.
I would definitely recommend Dr. Zelaya.

A slew of issues led to a poor visit to the doctor. I had to wait over an hour to be seen, at the end of the day. I had a serious medical skin issue and this was not appreciated. His time with me felt rushed, and he quickly pushed through the visit. To make matters worse, I had called Citi MD to confirm the name of a medication that I was allergic to. I told the doctor, but when I get to the pharmacy, he had actually PRESCRIBED THE MEDICINE that I was allergic to. If not for the watchful eyes of New London Pharmacy (a great place) I would have a serious medical issue.

I actually had a good experience at this location. The wait was about 30-45 mins but it came my kids time to get a nap since they went right from school and I had the usual paperwork to fill out. I waited another 10 mins before the Physician Assistant came in but once she did she was very nice and friendly. She examined both kids, give me a diagnosis and knew exactly what to prescribe. She also gave suggestions and advice on other things to do to keep the pain level to a minimum. I also did not have to worry about the prescriptions since they sent them electronically over to the pharmacy. Meeting

I went to see Dr. Zelaya yesterday after work at his Manhattan office. Big difference from the wait in the Brooklyn office.
It was a breeze in and out in 1/2 hour. As usual he was very nice, polite, and inquired what has been bothering me. He removed two moles quickly and alerted me of other options I can take if interested in in the future. He's always been very professional and friendly which I like.

I made an appt to see the doctor last week in his Brooklyn office. When making the appt I specified I wanted to see the doctor. When arriving at the office I was told to wait in the room the doctor would be in. In walks his P A . I thought she would do some preliminary exam but I was wrong. She looked at the growth on my nose and told me they would be taking it off , which she proceeded to do. Then told me I would receive the results shortly. I walked out of the office amazed that I had driven from Staten Island to Brooklyn to see a dr that I never saw at all. I could have gone anywhere. As

This is for the Bklyn location.
I went there looking to get treatment for an ongoing skin condition. Since I'm a new patient, I was given that awesome packet of forms to fill out.
On the bottom of the first page was a standard HIPAA agreement, asking permission to share your info w your insurance company(ies) for billing purposes but what struck my eye was the following sentence (verbatim) "Please note patient is responsible for any/all charges not paid for by insurance company".
When I asked for clarification I was told this (again, verbatim)
"What that sentence means

(Brooklyn location) today was my second time making an appointment for a consultation and waiting over an hour for it. You would think that there would be some consideration if they were running behind they would at least say something. The waiting area was completely empty today. I ended up just leaving because there was no way I could consult with someone about such a sensitive procedure and not feel pressed about the time. I go there for laser treatments but I won't be returning there again for any further services.

I have unfortunately had the negative experience of meeting with this dermatological office- I would definitely state that I did not have a negative (nor positive for that matter) visit with Dr. Zelaya but my feedback is geared more to the front desk staff- they are extremely unprofessional (minus Amy who was at least helpful after she received an earful from me regarding an unfulfilled prescription) and at certain points rude. They didn't return phonecalls, entered misinformation and gave me the run around on a prescription that my insurance wound up ultimately denying. It was frustrating

I've only had occasional need for dermatology services. Annual check-ups and the like. Dr. Javier is the second specialist I've used in New York for skin-related issues.
I found the experience pleasant, professional and efficient. And I would also say I found the doctor (as well as his staff) very personable and relaxed. Not at all the stiff, uncaring automaton that other reviewers have portrayed him to be.
Certainly worth trying if his offices are convenient and on your insurance policy. I have no plans at this time for seeking a different dermatologist and have arranged a follow

Who the hell misspelled "dermatologist"? I'm sorry, that is bugging me.
I still have this guy as my doctor so I should probably be careful.
This guy is probably perfect for people getting botox and all that because it's quick in and out. Unlike his Brooklyn office, the wait is easy here.
-He doesn't know what prescriptions you're on, you have to record this stuff for yourself.
-Probably has no recollection of you in general.
-He doesn't ask about lifestyle choices but has on occasion made me frustrated because my skin will have random irritated break

I went to see Dr. Zelaya maybe two years ago and now find myself in need of visiting a dermatologist again...and am still searching, because I will not see Dr. Zelaya again. Since I'm here on Yelp looking around I figured I might as well review my experience...
The front office was fine, I waited a bit but not too long, filled out forms, etc. They sent me back to an exam room and Dr. Zelaya came in immediately. He looked at the spot I wanted him to examine, said, "Oh, that's [condition], it's totally harmless, no one knows why it happens, but it will always be there. Nothing
