Chelsea Skin and Laser

Dr. Ginsberg is smart, honest and good! I highly recommend going here! Love this place!

This place deserves a thousand stars.
They started on time, were quick but didn’t feel rushed, and more importantly, Dr. Brian Ginsberg is a dermatological genius /​savant on steroids. I visited five other top notch dermatologists recommended /​referred to me by people who are ballers (including friends of mine who went to med school and residencies at Harvard, Hopkins, Cornell-​Weill, etc) in New York City, but Dr. Ginsberg exceeded and outperformed all of them. Dr. Ginsberg was honest and didn’t try to oversell and in fact advised against certain things because it would not have been effective and a waste of money. Dr. Ginsberg is the definition of an expert and someone who is genuine about seeking to improve the lives of his patients in the most effective way possible.
For those who are unfamiliar, NYU has the #1 Dermatology residency in the country, if not the world. Guess what? Ginsberg went there and was also made chief (not surprising).
Separately, their staff is beyond exceptional, especially Lam. Lam followed up on ensuring my prescription was filled, etc. Lam was also brilliant, actively took notes during my meeting with Dr. Ginsberg and could type faster than Sviatoslav Richter could play Chopin’s Etudes on the piano.
This place is world class and Dr. Ginsberg is a dermatology GOD, he is AMAZING, and I heart him.
Oh, and PS, they messed up the scheduling but were able to accommodate me anyway. Again, WORLD CLASS!!!
And this place is on the higher end but worth every penny…

Can’t say enough good things about Dr. Brian Ginsberg! I’ve seen him twice now and both times appointments were on time and thorough, unlike my past dermatologists that always rushed me out. He’s also extremely pleasant and even promptly replied to an email I sent to the general inbox. He was also very detailed and gave me several options to help solve my problems. I’m pleased with the staff as well. Found my new dermatologist. Relieved!

Good clinic !

They ran on time! that’s 5 stars alone.
Saw Dominic the PA and he was very good, knows his stuff and has a good manner.
Office staff is friendly but uses everyone’s first names, as a patient I would prefer that my last name is used.
Other than that a well ran office.

This place was okay. All of the good doctors have left. They have quite high turnover and they are not accommodating. They once cancelled on me and when I had an emergency (broke out in a rash all over) they would not see me for a last minute appointment. I will be taking my business elsewhere.

Dr. Eidelmann, his staff are knowledgeable and friendly. Anytime I’ve gone in, I have always felt satisfied and never rushed. All my questions are answered and even when I’ve had follow-​up questions, the staff is happy to answer. I’ve been to a few dermatologists and this is by far the best practice I’ve set foot in.

Dominic is phenomenal. I came to him with a horrible case of adult acne, which was embarrassing and confusing for me because I’d always had clear skin… until I didn’t. My self-​esteem was taking a serious hit so I decided to see a dermatologist. Dominic is so warm, funny and friendly. He made me feel comfortable and he really took the time to listen and talk with me, no rushing.
I like to keep things natural so I was hesitant to see a dermatologist. I didn’t want to be put on any kinds of pills or pharmaceutical creams, but seeing Dominic is the best thing I’ve ever done for my skin.
The regimen he put me on was impressively effective. I started noticing a difference in my skin within a week. Fast forward 3 months later and my skin is more clear and smooth than it has ever been. Several strangers have complimented me on my complexion this week. In most cases I would think several strangers trying to do or say anything to me is creepy, but this is great!
The office is very nice. The staff is warm and helpful. They accepted my insurance and Dominic gives you plenty samples of face wash, moisturizer and anything he prescribed during your visit so you can get started that day with your regimen.
If you’re having skin issues make an appointment with Dominic. You won’t regret it.

First time here. Check in was super smooth. This place looks clean and very professional. Dominic and Danny were amazing! They made me feel comfortable about the procedures. Everything the other reviewers mentioned. A++ to the Chelsea Skin and Laser team.
Keep it up, I’ll definitely recommend them to anyone looking for true professionals.

I had several bad experiences here. The pricing of what they do here is pretty ridiculous! They charge 300 $ for 15 minutes of laser treatment, and there is no way to get the face done in that time. You end up having to pay 600 $ just to take one pass over you face. Its insane!!! The people that work there are nice, but you can get the same work done for a small fraction of what you pay at Chelsea Skin and Laser. They will try to sell you that the laser they use is special, but most lasers out on the market are very effective at this point. If you care about your cash, look around.
I also have been cancelled on twice, one time it was right before my first session. I was on my way, and got a call that the laser was down. This was after my face was completely numbed by the cream already. I was not happy!

I cannot say enough about Dr. Eidelman and the lovely staff at Chelsea Skin & Laser. From the moment I walked in the door, I felt welcome and comfortable, and was treated like a VIP patient.
I waited less than 5 minutes to see the doctor, and during that time one of the receptionists quickly walked me through the necessary paperwork and billing documents.
Once in the exam room, the physician assistants were extremely knowledgeable and friendly, and took ample time to explain everything involved with the procedure. Dr. Eidelman was also very personable and made sure I knew he was available for any follow up questions.
I left feeling beautiful and very satisfied with my results.

Chances are if you’re a first timer trying to book an appointment with Dr. Eidelman or Mack you won’t get one right away. DO NOT HESITATE to book an appointment with their PA Dominic. I went today for my first appointment and was very impressed with the time and care I received during my visit. Dominic is incredibly knowledgeable on a wide range of skin issues and treatments. What I appreciated the most is how comfortable I felt speaking with him regarding skin issues — which is not always easy when you’re discussing bumps and rashes!
Additionally, I appreciated the level of professionalism in the office overall from the time of my intake to being seen by Dominic. I only wish they could handle all of my medical needs! I look forward to returning.

I loved everything about my experience at CS&L. This review is for my son who is 5 years old and suffers from eczema on his face and eyelids. He had a very bad flare up this winter and other doctors told me there was nothing I could do. Dr. Eidelman was very kind and he and his staff welcomed us and made my little boy feel very comfortable. He was very gentle and accurately diagnosed an infection that no other doctor saw, which was confirmed by further testing. Dr. Eidelman gave us a clear plan to clear up the infection and he gave us a prescription for the eczema and I’m happy to say that within two days my son’s skin looked so much better and he felt more comfortable. Thank you to Dr. Eidelman and his staff! I am so grateful.

I called in to make an appointment to get a mysterious skin condition looked at and was able to come in later that morning (!). Checking in was fast, my wait time was minimal, the nurse was very friendly, and Dominic figured out what was going on with my patch of skin almost immediately. Several weeks later, after following his advice, everything’s returned to normal and looks fine. Overall, I’m extremely impressed that they were able to completely solve my problem within a few hours of contacting them.

DISCLAIMER: I feel conflicted about ‘reviewing’ doctors since I firmly believe it’s a problem when people start to apply the ‘GIVE ME EXACTLY WHAT I WANT OR I WILL 1-​STAR YOU’ approach to a profession that requires a level of expertise that few laymen will ever grasp. Yes, bedside manner counts, and I’d want to hear about it if someone was profoundly mistreated, but often I feel that whining on Unilocal because your doctor couldn’t miraculously fix your entire life is a bit pathetic.
That said, Dr. Mack DID fix my life, and I’m so grateful! She carefully examines your skin, and, as gently as possible, tells you what’s wrong with it and how she plans to treat it. I’ve had little luck with clearing up my acne since high school and I am SO over getting breakouts. A few months ago I started getting nightmarish, lumpy cysts under my jawline and no amount of benzoyl peroxide or facials made any difference. Dr. Mack pinpointed exactly what my issue was and within a few weeks of following her course of treatment, these all but vanished. She was friendly and thorough, and after checking my progress a month later, made slight changes to my regimen to help me improve further.
Since having terrible skin in high school, I’ve rarely felt confident enough to go out without makeup on; even my fiancé rarely sees me barefaced, but the other day after a shower, even he noticed that my skin had improved a lot! I couldn’t stop raving about how much I loved my dermatologist so he suggested I channel it into a Unilocal review for her!
I have no shortage of good things to say about Dr. Mack and Chelsea Skin & Laser. Thank you all for making each visit prompt and pleasant!

I’ve been a patient at Chelsea Skin and Laser for a little over two years now, and have nothing but good things to say about this practice. The setting is spotless and spa-​like, the front desk staff polite and efficient, and Dr. Mack and Dominic Moccia are both excellent — warm, kind, and clearly experts at what they do. I also love that they offer early-​morning appointments so I can come in on my way to work. I’ve recommended the practice to several friends and colleagues, and realized I had not yet done so here — so here’s another rave to add to the scores of positive Unilocal reviews they’ve already earned!

Found Chelsea Skin & laser on Unilocal and the reviews had me sold.
This was my first visit and I have nothing but great things to say.
Staff: both the front desk attendant and assistant were friendly. Very prompt with ZERO wait time!
I saw their PA Dominic and not only was he friendly and attentive but he addressed all of my concerns and explained why to use certain products, why not etc.
100% recommend CS&L.

I kept on putting off writing a review for this place, but it seems like they don’t care for their patients or the reputation. So here it is.
Being a patient of Dr Mack since 2012 I very much enjoyed her friendly bed-​side manner and her superb expertise. The office did a great job on billing, filling the prescriptions etc. That was over a year ago.
Over the past year things have drastically changed: my card was charged without any kind of notice or a common courtesy of sending out a bill, the way they used to do, that indicates money over patient retention preference. Besides, I was overcharged and had to call in twice to have it fixed. Poor customer service and not so competent billing department. OK. I let that one go.
New assistant of Dr. Mack mixed up my prescription which caused a confusion at the pharmacy and delayed the process by 45 minutes. I don’t appreciate that, I am a very busy individual and it’s hard for me to carve out so much time to be wasted because of someone else’s repeated mistakes.
A few months later I was supposed to have their prescription department contact my pharmacy with the coupon since the medication that I was prescribed was very expensive. Last year the gentleman from the clinic did a superb job in working out the pricing with the pharmacy. This time the lady over the phone informed me it’s not her job to provide coupons (even though their doctor said they would take care of it like they did last time) and I have to come pick it up myself and take it to the pharmacy. The pharmacy said it’s usually is taken care by the doctor’s office.
With that being said it’s a shame that the doctor loses patients due to the incompetent administrative clerks.

I needed to be seen quickly and the staff and Chelsea Skin and Laser was incredibly helpful at getting me in as soon as possible. When I arrived the check in was quick and efficient. I was taken back almost immediately. Just the fact that I did not have to wait beyond my scheduled appointment time is wonderful.
Dr. Eidelman came in and asked about what was going on. He listened and asked some follow up questions to help assess the situation. He then presented me with two treatment options and did not push one over the other. Even though one would possibly require a return visit. The procedure was painless and easy.
I highly recommend Dr. Eidelman and Chelsea Skin and Laser.

I thought I had written a review — but I don’t see it posted, so…
Just want to reiterate that Unilocal should allow a 5+ rating for special cases.
Dominic may be a PA — but this is the real deal. I wish he was my primary care doc, my friend, my lawyer, my financial planner — the guy is simply THAT good.
Patient, understanding, punctual, knowledgeable, direct, considerate, friendly — I mean all of that x 100.
I cannot think of another Doctor experience of any kind that went this well — each and every time I have ever been there. And I have referred friends who all said the very same.
Dominic my man — thanks and thank you. My highest possible recommendation.
