Michael J Gladstein, MD

I went to the Astoria office. Dirty. Charged a ridiculous rate for a 5min consultation. He is everything that is wrong with our health care system. Avoid this one.

If I could give zero stars I would. DO NOT GO TO THIS DERMATOLOGIST.
DR. GLADSTEIN IS AWFUL AND RUDE. Upon telling him that my skin was the best it had looked in months, he looked repulsed and said, «Really???»
THE OFFICE IS FILTHY. The equipment is old, the carpet looks like it’s never been vacuumed and it’s ripped in certain areas, the chair in the office is ripping and looks visibly dirty.
YOU WAIT 1 HOUR FOR AN APPOINTMENT. You get there at 10:50 for an 11am appointment. You then wait until 12 to be seen. This happened to me TWICE. I gave him a second chance, because I’m a fool. Each time, he spent 1 minute of time with me.
Dr. Gladstein also has no sense of how expensive prescriptions are. I asked for some help figuring out a régime that would work for me at home. Absolutely no help at all. Nothing. Expect to offer me his own very expensive line of creams/​washes. Pathetic.
He is absolutely the worst person in any medical profession I have ever dealt with. Spread the word.

I needed a quick appt. I agree w/​the other reviewer. bedside manner-​none, time spent on new patient — minimal. returning only on last resort. after I shared my experience with a friend from the neighborhood, she knew who i was talking about, and agreed that I should find someone else. wasn’t thorough, informative nor comforting. when I called to ask a much needed question, I could hear him in the background & I felt like I was inconveniencing him. He is better off getting a partner to actually do the work, & get a commission from his using his house/​office. Maybe he was good, back in the day, but honey there is much room for improvement.

I went to the Astoria office, but the doctor is the same. The office feels like a time capsule from 1964. Everything about it is old and a bit stale. There were about 7 people in the mini waiting room. I had to wait for 40 minutes. It was especially bad since I left work early to be there on time. Why do some doctors feel their time is more important than yours? Then, the doctor. He might be N excellent dermatologist, but his bedside manner is very awkward. He has poor eye contact, but the worst thing about the experience is his hygiene. He’s clothes were so dirty and messy. He’s white doctor coat, which is supposed to be crisp and impeccable has old food stains and was crunched wrinkled. I will most likely not come back here and I do not recommend it.
