Skin Laser & Surgery Specialists of NY and NJ

Horrible OVER AN HOUR WAIT to spend 20 seconds with a physician who barely did an assessment. How can someone do a thorough assessment in twenty seconds? Why am I waiting over an hour to be glanced at so unprofessional in today’s world no one has two hours to sit around doing nothing and these oh so busy doctors should be well aware of that first and foremost

This is terrible! This supposed to be a Professional Facility. Writing about a patient like this? What is this world coming to? They gave me the Wrong Medication. I suffered needlessly and now this inappropriate comment. Salt in the wounds.
Anyone would be Angry if they were told, like I was, that I was given proper care WHEN I WASN’T! I was never abusive to the staff,. In fact, they kept calling me to come back to «talk». They are just trying to keep LACK OF PATIENT CARE hidden behind some nonsense. I am sure alot of people will agree with me on this one.
What ever happened to WE MADE A MISTAKE SORRY. HOW CAN WE ACCOMMODATE YOU FOR THAT HUGE MISTAKE? I had been a patient there for over 15 years. How disappointing that they have the time to write something so untrue. I suffered because of their LACK OF CARE and that is the end of the story.
Why would I have the need to obtain a referral and if they say I am all of those things, then why offer to refer me? Shifty isn’t it.

I saw Dr. Margarita Lolis last week for both medical and cosmetic consults and she was wonderful. She was on time with my appointment and was extremely knowledgeable and professional. She completed a skin biopsy on me and made sure that I did not experience any pain or discomfort. The office staff was incredibly efficient and friendly and takes most insurance plans. The office was easy to get to and parking was abundant. I will be a long-​term, repeat client due to my great experience here.

Let me start of to say I don’t really write reviews, but Dr. Lolis made me so happy that I had too! I’ve been struggling with acne all my life and seen dermatologists all my life, and for past five-​six years my head scalp was drying up really really bad, I had white spots all over, it was embarrassing and uncomfortable. I’ve seen many top dermatologists in NY/​NJ area and nothing! most expansive medicine, shampoos, creams etc. nothing. Finally six month ago someone suggested for me to go see Dr Lolis, honestly I lost hope, but as soon as I told her my problems, she was able to Identify, diagnose and proscribe the right medication and treatment and it actually worked!!! you do not understand, for the first time in long time, my face and head feels ok! so for that I’m forever grateful.

Horrible patient care! Front desk are as rude and unprofessional as they can be. I went there because they were recommended by ZOCDOC and also a friend who goes there. What a mistake! After confirming my appointment by Tex, e mail and phone, they rudely told me that they do not take my insurance so I need to pay for the visit but according to my insurance they still have a contract with my insurance. In fact, I call my insurance and they confirm that they participate with my insurance. But according to the front desk upon arriving they told me that they do not accept this insurance and I need it to pay for my visit. Really! After I spoke to someone regarding this matter?! When they called me to confirm I asked about it and they said that everything was good. I took off from work to waste it with this office?! They have not respect for patient’s time. They don’t have they act together… front desk may be too busy texting and talking to provide decent customer service.

A waste of $ 2000 for 6 sessions of laser hair removal with little results. The doctor said 6 sessions would take care of me due to the contrast between my light skin and dark hair. I think he even noticed it wasn’t working because initially he said the first time would be the most painful, and the last 3 sessions became increasingly more painful. Almost all of my hair has come back and after almost two years I’ve saved up enough money to go somewhere else. Any ideas how to get a refund?
To be clear, my hair returned shortly after the final session, not several months. If this business truly cared about client satisfaction they’d reach out to their clients sooner, independently and not just after they publicly Unilocaled about it.

Dr Lolis saved my skin! I had such bad acne, and it’s incredible what she did for me. She was kind, understanding, and completely sensitive to my situation. It took a while to happen, but I look better than ever. Yeah, I had to wait a while to see her, but it’s always been worth it! The staff is amazing too! You may need to wait to see them, but she’s beyond fab! Highly recommend!!!

Extremely unhappy with the doctor and the lack of results. I saw Dr. Lolis for laser acne treatment and she deemed that I was the perfect candidate for the cool image laser with LED therapy too for 5 sessions (roughly $ 5,000 in total). I’ve finished the treatments 5 months ago and my acne is still exactly the same.
When I went back for my follow up, she said she would throw in free salicylic acid peels for free and that it would expedite my results. I did one of them and my face never even peeled. I decided not to continue the peels because I found her to be very unprofessional and it felt like she didn’t care at all about me as a patient.
Dr. Lolis would never warn me when a particular part of the procedure would be painful, always was in a rush, was impossible to get in touch with in between and after my treatments when I needed to speak with her on concerns, and always double or triple booked her time slots. Be prepared to wait!
Lastly, during my acid treatment, to cleanse the skin for the peel, they apply acetone to your face. With no warning, she just starts applying this to my face, with no ventilation, and I actually burned my throat and lungs, and felt it the next day. The acid treatment was itchy and painful and again, she gave no warning. I don’t think I’ve ever heard her say 3 words.
OVERALL: Not worth the money for the amount and quality of attention and service you receive. I wish I could get my money back.

Highly unlikely to return for a 2^nd visit. I spent more time in waiting rooms and treatment room waiting. Than I did with doc.
I was not here for cosmetics and not interested wanted dermatology assistance with very itchy skin.
Doc came in –5 minutes didn’t really even look at my skin or scalp called in an rx. Asked if it didn’t get better should I return — it will be better. It always works. Hmmm

I’ve been a patient at SLSS in Hackensack for several months now. My original consultation was with Dr. Goldberg and Tina Fermano, PA for Psoriasis. I was coming from another Dermatologist in Fair Lawn that left much to be desired (but I digress). In my first appointment I unloaded all of my concerns, that I didn’t have insurance, wasn’t independently wealthy, all previous treatments had failed, and to make matters worse — had an upcoming wedding. The two of them put their heads together and came up with a suitable treatment plan that fit my budget and time-​crunch. Most importantly, they treated me with respect and compassion (unlike my previous Derm). I continued my appointments with Tina and right up to my wedding, we worked on getting my skin as clear as possible — which it was and I could not have been happier! I look at pictures now and know how awful I could’ve looked, but instead I don’t really even notice my skin. Now that I have insurance (thanks husband), we’re treating it differently and more effectively. I’m so happy I found this place! Keep up the great work!

The Cliffsnotes version: GO ELSEWHERE!
Even after reading mostly horrible reviews of Dr. Goldberg online, I still scheduled and went to him for a mole check as a new patient. «Why would you do that?!,» one might ask. Well, fellow Unilocaler, I am a gluten for punishment and a sucker for convenience (his office is local). In hindsight, I could have made an appointment in Kentucky and gotten home quicker ya’ll.
Dr. Goldberg’s staff (who is very friendly, by the way) told me to get there early to fill out paperwork being that I was new patient. So, like the considerate person I am, I got there at 4:45 for a 5pm appt. Fast forward to 6:30pm (yes, I even waited that long), Dr Goldberg finally came in to do my routine mole check. During the less than 3 minutes he examined me he poked around my gown and says «you look fine.» As he ran for the door to rip off… I mean, «examine», another patient, it took all my strength not to make a scene.
Please don’t make the same mistake I did… go somewhere the doctor values your time, money, and health.

I was told today that they do not offer discounts from Unilocal anymore

I’m a new patient and I had the Pearl Laser and Micro Peel this week. I’m particular and very careful with choosing a physician to do cosmetic work (I’m from New Orleans) especially on my face. I was very comfortable with Dr. Man during my consultation visit. Dr. Man and staff are very professional, he answered all my questions and concerns, he was very honest and thorough, so I decided to do the procedure :)
Even after care, I called the office today and was concerned with a few blisters, they asked me to come in so he can take a look at it, after all it was normal to have after the procedure. I believe he just wanted to make sure, I appreciated the fact that I had an appointment the same day right away. Thank You So Much. I will definitely be back.
I Highly Highly Recommend Dr. Man .
Keep up the GOOD WORK !!

I can’t speak to the services they offer because I never got any. I did go in for a cosmetic consultation, was a mere minute late walking in the door, and in turn had to wait a full HOUR to see the doctor. I guess it speaks to something that their waiting room was bustling, but the fact that someone whose appointment was 20 minutes later than mine but was taken before me doesn’t bode well for a positive review.

Great experience… All staff was pleasant and Dr. Goldberg was so nice! I highly recommend this office and will be returning soon!
