Jefferson Dermatology Associates

Everything was rushed from the check in to the actual sit down with the doctor. I was seen by Dr dasgeb. She was very forward and condescending Ave her bedside manner SAS poor. I went for a check up on my acne and she acknowledged that she was more of a cancer doctor and a suggested antibiotics.

i hadn’t been there in awhile so they told me to come 30 minutes ealry (to fill out forms). i get there an hour early and still have yet to be admitted or even handed the forms. This happened to me before and was why i havent been there in years. They are completely incompetent. if you have time to waste just sitting around, then by all means, go there. You be disappointed. Best part is, i am the only one waiting here now.

So I called to make an appointment and was told ‘our schedule is not available until Friday.’ Excuse me? You can’t make an appointment. Huh?

Appts are too far out. I had a prev skin C that was treated here. When i had a concern a few months later. I called and was giving a appt 2 ½ months out. I was then told to call daily to see if anyone canceled. I did so for a few days before finding another place.

Don’t bother! I called today for an appt and was told the next available appt was 4 months from now! Don’t even bother calling.

I had a little bump on my back that turned into a big bump, and eventually had to be removed.
I walked in for my appointment and was greeted by SUCH a nice staff. So kind and professional. I also was taken back within ten minutes, which lets face it doesn’t happen in the medical world.
The doctor who did the removal was so sweet, had a great bedside manner, and explained to me exactly what she was doing. It was short and painful.
I would NEVER go to another dermatologist after such a great experience here.

Did you know that the Urology department at Jefferson is the oldest in the country? I came here for my annual grope and poke. The Doctor was very helpful in going over the results with me and put me at ease with his explanations. Just about every guy hates this necessary check but you could do far worse than Jefferson Urology.

I am a an ongoing saga of allergies and skin ailments. Jefferson Dermatology is my savior! I have been to several other derms over the years with little help, and frankly a bit of unwanted attitude, but Jefferson is nothing like that. They listen! They’ve now treated me for chronic eczema and a random contact dermatitis, both with super fast results. I was able to get in for a new patient visit within two weeks, then for an emergency within one day. The staff is professional, nice and just seem to know their stuff. My life will never be without some stupid skin issue, but knowing I have the dermatology team at Jefferson definitely eases my stress just a little.

I just had my first appointment here. It went really well and the doctor I saw knew more than any other dermatologist I have ever been to! After I was brought back I think I was in the room no longer than 15 minutes.
I just turned 30 and I need to start being more involved in taking care of myself since I have blonde hair and really fair skin. she noticed little things that I never picked up on and was very comforting to know that she is a rock star!
The office was very organized and friendly during my visit. My appointment was at 7:15am and I will definitely continue going to morning appointments but most importantly I will be back there for my annual check-​up.

I called for an appointment at Jefferson Dermatology because my Jefferson ob/​gyn encouraged me to see someone in dermatology. I’ve been experiencing hair loss/​thinning over the past 8 years that no one has really been able to solve. I had given up on seeing dermatologists for it, but my ob/​gyn thought that Jefferson’s academic environment would lend itself to «unsolved mysteries». When I called, the scheduler told me nobody at Jefferson focused on hair loss, but in the past, they sent hair loss people to Dr. Lee. I said that would be fine, so she scheduled me with him. It was a pretty decent wait for an appointment– I think in the range of a month or two.
On the day of my appointment, I arrived about 15 minutes early. I didn’t get called up to do my paperwork until my appointment time, but the lady behind the desk was efficient and nice. They got me back about 10 minutes after my appointment time, then I briefly talked to someone for for about 30 seconds about my reason of being there. I then waited in the room for about another 15 minutes until Dr. Lee came in. He basically told me there was nothing he could do, since female hair loss is not well understood. He did tell me there was another doctor in the practice who was focusing on female hair loss, and he would ask her to review my case, but that she likely wouldn’t have anything more to help me either. It’s been a few days and I haven’t heard anything, so I’m guessing she wasn’t interested in taking my case. Dr. Lee seemed very intelligent, efficient, honest, and thorough. However, his blunt academic speak took me back a few times. I didn’t mind, however, I imagine if I came from a different background I would have appreciated him wording his thoughts more carefully.
Even though I was frustrated that I wasted an expensive co-​pay and a morning of my time for nothing, the visit went better than expected– I’ve seen a lot of condescending, uncaring, un-​knowledgeable dermatologists over the past 8 years. If I ever have a dermatology need in the future and I’m still in Philadelphia, I’d definitely return to Jefferson– I trust that Dr. Lee and the other dermatologists know what they are doing.

When you have red hair and skin so white they hold a light up behind you to xray you, its a good idea to check in with a dermatologist now and then to make sure all is well. I’m a big believer in preventative care, so I popped in to make sure there was nothing worrysome going on with the old hide.
Of all the Jefferson departments I’ve been to (a lot, sadly) this one is the best. I was in the room exactly at my appointed time. Yes, there were plenty of residents popping in and out, but the doctor was also in and spent time reviewing skin care and things I needed to be on the watch for.
They were pleasant, they were fast, and they answered all my questions pleasantly. Please Lord, let someone from Jefferson Administration swing by and see how a department should be run.

I’ve been twice. The first time, the doc ran the show because the residents weren’t real familiar with the issue. The second time I went, the resident was most involved, but she was EXCELLENT and took so much time to explain things. I actually don’t mind the «doctor» (they are all doctors, really) taking the backseat because while I feel rushed with Drs and don’t ask questions, I feel very comfortable taking up the residents’ time. :)
This is worth noting — last time I went, I arrived, was in, and out of my appointment in 35 minutes (less than 5 minutes wait time total) — they were so on the ball!

Cute residents, but the doctors seemed very uninvolved in my case.
