Leopold S Laufer, MD

Dr. Laufer is one of the best dermatologists in my opinion hands down! Not only is he brilliant he is also kind and gentle. Yes the wait is not great but he and I am worth it! His staff is great and always so accommodating. My favorite derm doc!!!

Well I had the worst experience my first visit… but I gave the office the benefit of the doubt I made a second appointment!!! Fool me once but never again! My first appointment was a wait over 2 hours. Dr. Laufer although tries to be charming about the long wait. It does not work…
This time I tried to get the first appointment in the morning. Great the line outside was spilling onto the street when dr. Laufer opened the door himself coming from the parking lot! Ok the receptionist WAS inside but kept us waiting. After signing in process was over the wait was almost an hour. Once called, dr. Attempts to be charming but then fails. Can we focus on the skin cancer treatment and biopsy the ones that were earmarked the last visit. I was noticeably upset and then proceeded to freeze one of the sites on my leg, freeze one on my arm. 1 2 3 seconds I pointed the ones out and he then attempted to leave the room… where are you going? I asked what kind of treatment for my face did you want to do? Oh yes! He said… big mistake! He proceeds to put medicine on my face, lip, forehead then he leaves! A worker takes me into another room and puts eye goggles on me and lasers my face. She leaves. Hands me eurcin lotion sample size and then leaves!!! I’m done I asked? Yes. Ok no instruction of what to expect! Well after I got home my face was burning like it was on fire!!! I gave it the day and got worse! I stayed in the house for 3 days! I called the office. What a surprise! He is on vacation! Well I demanded something has to be done! I look like the terminator melting! Ok she says ill call the doctor!!! Can I go somewhere else? He does not have coverage? No she said wait till he call you. Finally he calls which felt like forever!!! Steroids was prescribed! I had an reaction to the treatment! Duh! Well maybe you should have tested a small part of my skin and NOT my whole dam face!!!
I will NEVER go back! Skin cancer should not be treated this lightly. And running an office that is overbooked and crowded does not Give Good QUALITY Care! Shame on him! If you want quality care, I recommend anywhere else!

I don’t like writing bad reviews but this whole experience got me so upset. Being a new patient i came in 40 min before my actual appointment because i knew i had to fill out paperwork. My appointment time came and left. People who came after me were seen but i was still waiting to be called in. I asked receptionist what is going on and why i was not call in to see a doctor. Her response was that is how it is in our office, so i told her to cancel my appointment and i walked away (after waiting for 2 hrs). I have never seen anything like this. I will never go to this doctor or recommend him to anybody. There was not even «sorry we are running a bit late». NOTHING!!!

I’m sure you’ll receive optimal dermatology treatment here. What is not right is the fact that Medicaid is not accepted. Or in the receptionist ‘s words «we don’t participate in such peasant things.» Ok, so ye poor slobs who cannot afford health insurance and have skin ailments… go jump off a cliff!

Extremely rude staff and doctor. He had his back towards me the entire time we talked. Always felt rushed and didn’t provide any help at all. All for a two hour wait and copay. Thanks?

Few months ago I had an emergency, with half of my face swollen and in terrible pain I contacted Dr. Laufer’s office. A secretary did mention that without an appointment it will be a long wait but advised me to come either way. I had no insurance at this point, everybody knows that a simple Doc visit could cost you a fortune when you’re paying cash. I came prepared with a book and was pleasantly surprised that my wait turned out to be under an hour. Considering that waiting room was full of patients it was literally unbelievable how fast he was able to attend to each one. So finally I get to meet the Doc, and he is indeed charming and extremely pleasant man. He gives me a shot to ease my pain, prescribes antibiotics which he generously gave me samples off and this all costs me under hundred dollars. I mean. incredible is an understatement, antibiotics alone would’ve cost me over hundred if I had to buy them in a pharmacy. He advised me to see him in a week for a follow up, which I did, a visit cost me nothing. This is an example of a very rare type of a Doctor, that treats you like a human being and genuinely cares about you and your individual needs/​situation.

Dr. Laufer is friendly, pleasant and has a great bedside manner. I didn’t feel rushed at all. He did a thorough check for blemishes and melenoma. The wait was less than 15 minutes, the staff polite and friendly. I definitely recommend this doctor.

After waiting for an appointment for 1 month and spending the time and money on getting there I was not allowed to see the doctor because I did not have a photo ID with me. The receptionist was EXTREMELY rude. I did not get to see the doctor and I really needed to.

This place is conveniently nearby my house and Dr. Laufer is an intelligent sweet man that simply can cure anything! I know I only went there for cystic acne and nodular cystic acne on my back and chest but he prescribed a few things for me and made sure to make a follow up appointment to whichever day suited me. I don’t mind the wait time for such an amazing dermatologist. He’s very generous with samples which I’m very happy about.

Dr. Laufer is the only doctor I’d trust with my skin. He’s very personable, attentive and professional and takes his work seriously. He’s not the kind of doctor to rush you out without explaining everything to you first. The only problem I have is that the waiting takes forever and I once had to wait 3 hours.

Dr. Laufer treated my grandfather’s skin cancer and greatly prolonged his life. I had to go to the office with my grandfather on many occasions and got to know Dr. Laufer and his staff very well.
Though sometimes you have to wait a few weeks for an appointment, once you get to the office there are usually no lines. The doctor will see you 5 to 10 minutes after you walk through the door. The doctor himself is very sweet, very attentive and knows how to make his patients feel comfortable and welcome. There is a radiation therapy office on the premises. The staff is very nice and professional, and the office is always clean and quiet.
