Dermatology Partners of the North Shore

Save yourself the hassle and find a new dermatologist office. They have mixed up appointments, it takes them over 2 weeks to get biopsy results, wait time is at least 30 – 40 after your scheduled appointment.

This Doctor belongs retired didn’t use eye glasses all about money and Botox if you have a real Dermatological problem run, they don’t care about you only money this office should be closed and reopened into a Botox weight loss freeze fat off clinic they don’t care about you only how much money you can spend that’s why the office is so overbooked typical North Shore Phonies run!!!

Made an appointment with Dr. Benin about 3 issues I was having. Main one was the rash on my chest. To my surprise, he was available much sooner than other dermatologists I tried to make an appointment with. I googled him up and saw that he’s an older doctor so figured he’s seen it all and will give me an accurate diagnosis. To make the long story short, Dr. B doesn’t spend enough time with you and doesn’t listen to your problem carefully. It almost looked like he was in a hurry to get out. To make it worse, he had no idea what the problem was. He just gave me some sample lotion and soap that are mild for skin and told me to take Zyrtec (OTC allergy medicine) and see him again in 2 weeks. As for the other 2 issues, he walked out even before I could explain. All in all, I waited 40 minutes then saw him for 3 mins and walked out with no answer. Rash still present to this day but I manage to keep it under control by using aloe vera and tea tree oil. Just received a bill. What a waste of $$$$ and precious time!

The doctors are great — the staff is horrendous. There is no sense of urgency and even when I had a cancerous spot were not willing to ask the doctor if I could be fit in, they made me wait over a month to get in.

Since this is a partnership of several doctors, i can’t speak for rest of the doctors, but I was very happy with Dr. Bennin. He is conscientious, and very considerate. He was straightforward, and spent enough time with me, and before he left me he made sure if I had any other questions. It is evident that he cares about his work, and his patients, and yet maintains complete professionalism. The office staff was very friendly and I felt comfortable from the moment I walked in the door to the moment I left. I have been to 3 other dermatologists in the past 6 years or so, and never felt like they cared about me, and now, with Dr. Bennin, I think I have finally found one that does.

Pretty disappointed in my experience here (and ive been a few times to know it was not just a fluke). First the office is a total mess. its insanely busy to the point where the reception staff just looks and acts completely overwhelmed. They had me fill out the same paper work 3 times because it kept getting put in the wrong spot i guess?
Reception/​check out people were borderline rude and quite snippy while trying to get me out of there… one even said she «didnt have time» to check me out lol… umm isnt that your job?
Anyway on to the drs visit… Appt started 20 or so minutes late (not surprising considering how overbooked this office seems to be) and I honestly felt very rushed. There was no explanation of procedures… He basically just grabbed a lidocaine syringe literally stabbed me with it and shot the stuff in super fast. Ive had this done before and you are not supposed do that… a gradual release of the lidocaine into my skin would have been appreciated lol as it really hurt the way he did it and it was clearly just part of the rush of everything. I had one other procedure done which was quite painful and again there was no explanation of what he was even doing. Then he just left not giving me any post care instructions! I asked the nurse and she barely seemed to know… not exactly very reassuring that this place knows what is going on.
The other thing which just bugged me is that I’m used to friendly and personable doctors… I know this is not THE most important thing but to me it is an important factor because you need to be able to talk to your dr and he should be able to converse with you on issues you are having. The Dr. was not rude or anything like that there is just nothing there… No smiling, no frowning even lol no anything… just a blank expression the whole time. I just found it to be bizarre and not something that made me feel comfortable/​at ease when I was nervous. Just a personal preference I guess…

My family has been seeing Bruce Bennin for years. He’s an amazing doctor, knows his stuff like the back of his hand. Excellent at diagnosis and very through. I often wait a bit in the waiting room but its a doctor’s office and that should and can be expected, but is well worth the wait to receive such excellent care. Thank you!

If you’re addicted to seeing doctors and getting operated on, come here every day and watch Nip/​Tuck every night. Came and saw a dermatologist and let her know it’s my first pregnancy, 3^rd trimester and I have a rash. She didn’t mention a word of «operation». Just said it’s routine to take a skin sample right off my big pregnant belly, numbed my skin, asked a nurse to come in and ripped our my skin and left a hole there.
Afterwards, she handed me a sheet titled «post-​operation» wound cleaning. Then it dawned on my I just got a minor operation. Jesus woman, are you so eager to overcharge, make a profit and just operate on any patient who has a minor rash? (Dr Westphal)
A few days later, she let me know I have a pregnancy rash, that’s all. I looked it up online and it says no biopsy required. This rash is common with first pregnancy in 3^rd trimester and just use a cream.
Worse, she seems completely clueless and kept asking me to consult my own ob-​gyn whether I can use the cream she prescribed me.
Oh yeah, and the 25 minute wait before she walks in to see me.
