Very professional and kind staff. I really like Dr. Borowicz who explained every detail to me, and made me feel very comfortable. Her assist Sandy explained things very well and also made me feel. Had a great experience at The Derm. this is the 3rd place I have been to get my eczema treated. Dr. Renata Bridise was Great.
She explained what is going on, how to treat it, and what to do moving. Everything was very quick and well organized. I need something thing checked out there was almost no waiting and both the doctor and assistant were very nice. The Derm has been an exceptional partner for me in healing and health.

I have been a patient of Dr Brodsky and Dr Borowicz for many years. I am always greeted with a smile. Dr Borowicz is awesome. A great listener and a caring provider. She always makes sure you are comfortable when doing a procedure. I highly recommend this practice as you will be taken care of with professionalism and a kind and caring staff.

After years of searching for a dermatologist that really cared about my issues, I found a place where I got what I had hoped for. A doctor who didn’t sluff me off because I wasn’t there for cosmetic surgery or botox, a front office that was “happy”, and after one visit, the QUICK responses and attention i got to phone calls with insurance problems got the medication. Very happy!!!

Made the mistake to remove a mole with them and they charge you over a thousand, i had my son have it removed at dr peter johnson I believe and it cost 400$, at the derm I still have to pay over 1200 with insurance. Giving birth is like 6000, how can a mole removal cost over 3k? You’re not doing brain surgery, please don’t go to these people for mole checkup or excision, first of all like many reviewers have said, it doesn’t even turn out to be anything so I just have a scarr n a big bill to pay. I’ve never heard anyone pay so much for a mole removal

AVOID THIS PLACE if you need actual dermatological medical services. It is a boutique for rich north shore ladies who want pay through the nose for botox/filler injections. It is not for people are looking for medical procedures covered by insurance. I went in for the latter - a overall mole check (preventative and should be covered by insurance at 100%) and the removal of 1 skin tag - and will never go back. They took me in for a 3 min mole check and then told me that they have a flat rate of $150 for up to 15 skin tags.....they did that in another 3 mins. When I left, I paid the $150 and

Tried out some cool sculpting on my chin, now it’s uneven because I think the nerves are damaged, one side hangs lower than the other permanently. During the procedure she left me alone in the room for an hour while I laid there with the suction cups popping off a few times. She tried to deny that it’s their fault and says that they never targeted that area. How else would it turn out this way if it never looked like this prior to their cool sculpting procedure.

Wonderful experience from beginning to end. The front desk checked me in quickly and were super friendly. It was my first appointment at the Derm, and I was there for a consultation with Gretchen for a possible CoolSculpt procedure. She's an absolute delight. She spent a considerable amount of time with me, answering my questions and explaining all the possibilities about how the machine can deliver. She was determined to fashion a treatment for me that was unique and specific to my needs, and definitely thought outside the box. It was actually quite funny, I could see her passion for her artwork

Following a 65 minute delay in our appointment the doctor, spent less than 5 minutes with the patient, and proceeded to aggressively sell a specific treatment, without consideration for the need of the patient to properly review the information. The approach was much more of a car salesman transaction(with an immediate sales call follow up the next morning) rather than a professional medical interaction. Understanding that there are limited options available for the specific condition in dermatology, this is still an unacceptable approach to managing patients with high pressure sales tactics. Will

The office staff was very kind along with the nurse that i talked to. My problem was that the doctor barely seemed to look at me she didn't even sit down to hear my concerns. It seemed like she was just trying to sell laser hair removal to me it was a waste of 60$ and since I don't want to wait for another referral and consultation. I'm going back to hope for the best maybe my review will be better after my second visit.

The whole operation seemed like a cash grab. First time I've been to a doctors office and felt more like I was at a car dealership to buy a car and the salesman was ready to start upselling the options. They gave the impression they were most interested in how much money they could get out of you. The first form they give you is just a menu of other services they offer that you may be interested in. I was only interested in treating the eczema on my hands which is the purpose of my visit. Once I was in the exam room the doctor looked at me for all of 90 seconds, recommended some hand cream

If I could give zero stars, I would. After providing a detailed explanation of my struggles with acne for the past 10 years to the nurse, Dr. Sethi came in and glanced at my skin for no more than a second before beginning to sell me products. I kept reminding her that I've tried all the ingredients she mentioned and that the ORAL medication that has previously worked is no longer working. This was the furthest thing from medicine l've ever experienced. Find a real dermatologist.

I had a concern about blemishes on my face. My wife went to The Derm for a checkup and they had to remove a piece of skin from her face. After knowing that I thought I be better get checked myself. So I scheduled for a full body check.
They were very nice and professional. My doctor did a great job of checking me and giving me some necessary advice. She even commended me about having pretty good skin at my age.
It was a good experience and I will go back for regular checkups.

What an absolute disappointment. I was very excited to start my treatment with Dr. Brodsky who seemed very nice, but someone from her front desk staff misscheduled my treatment by a month. I drove 30 minutes to another location, took off of work for two days, and wasted my time pursuing this treatment. Being obviously upset in the office after them telling me I will not be treated today, you would think they would offer any alternative (discounted treatment, another appointment) nope. I am canceling all my other appointments and further treatment because I don't have time to be going to an

I've seen other drs for injectables but dr Jessica Borrowitz it's the best, she's an artist and super sweet. A bit pricier than previously but she is amazing. Everything is just slightly enhanced and not artificial looking. I came back after i was very pleased the first time and I will be her regular. She came highly recommended from a friend.

I went in due to my adult acne, and on my first visit ( I saw Dr. Brodsky) she literally told me to just do accutane! I was like woahhh is there anything else I can do or help me find what's causing it and she really didn't help me much. So I decided to do my own research and found out it was probably my birth control (Implanon at the time) so I took it out and my acne stopped completely. So I go back to see if she could guide me to a better birth control option and she walks into the room and says "I told you it was the birth control you look amazing" and I'm thinking

I have been seeing the doctors at The Derm for about 4 years. I had a few suspicious spots on my face and neck. They removed the areas and offered skin care advice. I love their face creams and makeup. The doctors are friendly and give you the time you need. Unlike other dermatologists I have seen that will not spend more than 2 minutes with you.
