Pamela J Basuk, MD

One of the best dermatologists on the island! Very pleased.

Dr Basuk is great and amazing doctor. The wait time to see her is horrible. Arrived 10 minutes early for a 1pm appointment didn’t get called in until 2:05pm Dr Basuk didn’t see me until 2:45pm. I was in my car at 2:55pm. Better plan a good 3 hours of your day with commute time to go to an appointment here.

Receptionists are very cold and I am waiting about an 35 minutes past my aptoinment time and I was 25 min early.
Now waiting 50 minutes to see the doctor

I was a pt. of Dr. Basuk’s through a couple of check-​ups. My Insurance changed at that point and they turned their nose up at it like I was a beggar. Several Doctors did the same while other quite well respected Doctors and Surgeons on my list were quite glad to come along.
In the final analysis it was a blessing in disguise. The first time I went I chalked the abrasive manner up to my imagination. The second time it was full on. I felt ill at ease being challenged on my every comment. I get the impression this lady rules her office with an iron fist by the millisecond.
I was actually relieved to have a legitimate out. I was so intimidated by the general demeanor here that I withheld my upcoming change of venue until I was back out to the desk. The woman was visibly annoyed that I didn’t tell Dr. Basuk I was leaving. I figured as much! I didn’t want the challenge so I acted like I was stupid just to avoid confrontation. I felt whatever attitude she gave me would be better than taking the «bull» by the horns! I get the impression a man acting stupid in that office goes over pretty well. It’s most likely expected! Come to think of it I didn’t see any men there either time. Go figure.
The last straw was a small co-​pay I had been notified of last week. I was going to pay it at my next statement. Nope! They put it through all by themselves without notice. I guess I’m lucky I didn’t pay it yesterday or I’d be dealing with them again. I was going to use a different card but it’s out of my hands! That to me is the absolute worst behavior. No faith that I will take care of it. The charge was nowhere near 30 days. Tough act!
On the upside I certainly feel she was quite competent; however, my impression is the whole experience was outside my comfort zone and that’s important too.

Dr. Basuk and her staff has my complete trust. After meeting with Dr. Basuk over 3 years ago, I continue to visit her office for routine acne maintenance. We treated my acne quickly and I was able to go from moderate face acne to completely clear within a few months. I’ve been to three dermatologists in the past. I’ve even traveled out to Manhattan to see a highly recommended doctor. I highly recommend Dr. Basuk and her staff.

My whole family sees Dr. Basuk as does many of my children’s friends.
She has been a long time provider of services to us for various skin problems.
I have gone to many other dermatologists and have found Dr. Basuk to be the most knowledgeable, professional, reliable, competent doctor and that is the reason I have stayed with her.
I would highly recommend Dr. Basuk for any and all types of skin problems.

I drive all the way from Queens to see Dr. Basuk. I’ve had problems with dermatologists in the past… not following up, not prescribing me good meds, not answering my questions. I’ve never had a problem with the staff responding to my phone calls and Dr. B actually knows what she’s talking about. Dr. B is of city quality working out in the ‘burbs!
