Mudgil Dermatology, PC

Dr. Mudgil and his entire staff were fantastic. From scheduling to sharing results, the team was incredibly professional and Dr. Mudgil made me feel very comfortable throughout the entire process. It is great to find a doctor that takes the time to make you feel comfortable and takes all of your questions seriously while not wasting your time. I was able to see him first thing in the morning making it easy for me to make it to work in time and received my test results via Klara, straight to my phone no need for any interruption in my day-​to-​day. I highly recommend this practice.

Dr. Glodny is great at what he does. He cured my skin problem very quickly. I then saw him a few weeks later for botox which turned out perfect ! I am very happy and will continue to see Dr. Glodny. Best Dermatologist hands down !

Send bills without back up and then screw my credit report. I will never go back as this group of doctors are the poster child for abuse in collections.

I went to another dermatologist office for the 1^st time in my early 40s and had a horrible experience, long wait, medication my insurance won’t cover, no returned calls, etc. I then got a referral to this practice from my pcp. I’ve seen Dr Mudgil and Christina and have only positive things to say including about all the staff in the office and the office itself. BTW my wife now uses them as my son who I just brought over.

I’ve been treated by all three of the professionals in the office (Dr. Mudgil, Dr. Tseng, and Ms. DeMartino) to diagnose and remove some unwanted spots on my face.
I have no complaints: good bedside manner, accurate assessments, and good results.
I would go back for any future dermatological issues.

I can’t say enough great things about this practice. I am a physician and am very picky in who I see myself. Dr. Mudgil has been an excellent diagnostician for both myself and my children. The staff is always pleasant and friendly. The thing I love most about the practice is the Physician’s assistant, Christina. She does all my cosmetic work and the results have been amazing. She is warm and kind and patient. I highly recommend the practice and Christina specifically.

I tried scheduling my annual skin check with Dr. Mudgil but he was booked until the following month, so I made an appointment with Dr. Tseng. For the record, I think Dr. M is a good dermatologist and Dr. T seemed adequate.
My exam went smoothly and I pointed out a red rash on my left wrist underneath my watch. It had appeared a week or so prior and it didn’t itch or bother me, but I asked her what it might be. Dr. Tseng said it looked like a tick bite and that I should watch carefully for a bullseye rash to develop, an indicator of Lyme disease. I was shocked because I’m very careful when it comes to ticks and couldn’t remember recently being in an area where I would be exposed to them. There was no suggestion at this time by Dr. T of doing a Lyme blood test.
The next week I went back to have a few spots removed from my hands with a laser– a purely cosmetic procedure handled by the PA Christina. My rash had not changed or improved so I showed her my wrist and she said it looked like a «classic bullseye». I had already scheduled an appointment with my internist for a Lyme blood test, and the following day went to see her.
Within two minutes of speaking with me and looking at my rash, my savvy doctor told me she was 99% sure I did not have a tick bite much less Lyme disease. She also said there was no such bullseye present. She inquired about the deep purple burn marks on my hands and I explained the laser procedure. After an incredulous look, she did the blood test and, as predicted, it came back negative for Lyme. The rash on my wrist? She suspected an allergy of some sort, perhaps dermatitis caused from my watch irritating my skin. It disappeared after using topical over the counter cortisone for a few days.
I left a message for Christina to call me concerning a prescription refill that hadn’t come through and to inform her of the Lyme result as well but never heard back. A second call a few days later got me to the front desk again, but alas, still no refill.
Unfortunately there seems to be a disconnect in this office and I would prefer to leave the diagnostics to the MD’s and perhaps the delicate procedures as well.

I could go on and on about how wonderful this practice is– so I will. If you’re looking for the readers digest version: Everyone in this office from the front desk to the clinicians is fabulous and I trust them exclusively with my dermatological care. I recommend Christina, the PA in the practice to everyone I know– she’s simply the best.
Okay, now for the long-​winded version…
Office /​Location
The office itself is less than a 5 minute walk from the Union Square subway station (4−5−6, L, N-​Q-​R). Once you step inside everything is modern, noticeably clean and very relaxing. The consultation /​procedure rooms are on the same par– exceptionally clean and well-​maintained.
Front Desk /​Scheduling
The front desk will do everything in their power to accommodate your needs /​scheduling conflicts. I have watched other patients berate the women at the front desk over the most ridiculous things which makes me sick because it’s very clear to see that they do their best to be flexible and offer as many options as possible. As a courtesy I try to schedule at least a week out.
Clinicians /​Treatment
Christina DeMartino is truly a fantastic PA. Anyone who refuses to see PAs instead of an MD is truly missing out when it comes to her. She is very kind, knowledgeable, professional, patient and understanding of every concern I’ve ever had. Since May of 2014 she has given me six fractional laser treatments for my indented acne scarring and I couldn’t be happier with the results. She took her time and paid very close attention to detail throughout the entire process and ensured I was comfortable before, during and after. She has never rushed me and always double checks that all my questions have been answered before leaving the room. Aside from all of that, she has such a happy and welcoming personality which really makes a difference when you’re receiving some rather intense treatments.
Whether your needs are medical or cosmetic, this is the place.

I see Christina regularly for consultations and she is world-​class! The whole staff at Mudgil derm is polite, accommodating and extremely knowledgeable. I’d recommend this practice to anyone who is looking for great service and quality healthcare!

Dr. Mudgil is a knowledgeable dermatologist who knows what he’s talking about. So if you are looking for yearly skin checks and a good doctor for other dermatological issues, I would recommend him. For anything cosmetic, however, I would definitely look elsewhere. I’ve had several bad experiences that left me more than frustrated and left my friends asking, «what happened to your face?» Also, his nurse practitioner is very difficult to deal with, lacks his smarts and is frankly unpleasant. The rest of the staff is super nice and helpful.

I was one of Dr. Mudgil’s original patients, maybe 2008? Or thereabouts. Anyway…
He is a terrific doc, and i have continued to go here since. Recently, I have been seeing Christina, his PA, and can’t speak highly enough about her. She has a great bedside manner, is very knowledgable, and has a knack of explaining things in a clear manner (being a medical simpleton, I definitely appreciate this).
Highly recommended.

I am so glad that my friend referred me to Mudgil Dermatology. Dr. Mudgil is engaging, takes his time, is skilled, and is super nice. We both love to play golf and talked about our swing for a while. My previous dermatologist was a stiff and had no bedside manner. For a no rush, smart and completely on-​point dermatologist, see Mudgil Dermatology.

Great experience with Dr. Mudgil. I had a dermatologist that I really liked back home and had been treating me for years. Transitioning to a new doctor made me anxious but I’m really happy with the result. Dr. Mudgil explains everything in detail which is important to me and always takes the time to make sure my questions are answered. I highly recommend!

Mudgil is the best dermatology office I’ve ever been to. Clean, friendly, and responsive. I’ve been seeing Christina who is absolutely fantastic. I highly recommend.

I have been Dr. Mudgil’s patient for about 5 years. I have visited his office often and have had numerous interactions with him and his staff.
Dr. Mudgil is by far the best doctor I have ever had the pleasure of seeing. His bedside manner is exemplary. He is also the smartest person I know, which comes through when discussing ailments with him. When having a discussion with him, I am always amazed at how knowledgeable he is about his work. This lends to a great sense of confidence in being under his care. Having a medical problem can be a very stressful situation. Its nice to have a doctor who is calm and can provide answers so that I can not only get medical relief, but mental relief as well.
When first entering his office, the first thing you will note is the modern styling of the space. This is an extension of his work, which includes the latest in dermatological treatments. Dr. Mudgil keeps up to date on the latest research in dermatology and uses these findings to provide up to date treatments to his patients. I have been to other dermatologists who seem to prescribe the same treatment for everything and just want to quickly relieve the symptoms with little to no concern for the underlying issue that is causing the symptoms.
His staff is professional and friendly. I have always had a pleasant experience during each visit. They always greet me with a smile and take care of me as promptly as possible. It seems some well regarded doctors surround themselves with a very unpleasant staff that ruins the experience; Dr. Mudgil is the exception.

I am a dissenter from Dr. Mudgil’s positive reviews here. My wife visited his office last year after a mysterious rash appeared on her body about two weeks earlier. She was examined by the physician’s assistant and Dr. Mudgil. They suspected chicken pox, ordered lab tests, and prescribed acyclovir, a treatment for chicken pox. We were out of pocket about $ 1300. When my wife followed up on the lab tests, she was told it was not chicken pox. On our own, we realized that we had bedbugs in our apartment. The possibility of bedbugs had not been mentioned to my wife. Chicken pox might have been a reasonable possibility, though my wife’s symptoms were not typical of it, as she did not have a headache or fever at the onset, and the rash did not form scabs. More troubling, acyclovir is NOT recommended as a treatment for chicken pox beyond the first 72 hours or less, as Dr. Mudgil has acknowledged. So even if she had chicken pox, from everything I’ve read it would have been too late to treat with that medication.
Now Dr. Mudgil might be a generally fine doctor, but I think in this case he dropped the ball. On the plus side, we did get a reduction in the lab fees, and we did get rid of the bedbugs.

UPDATE:
Was having more problems with my initial issue… wrote an email to the general office email address, asking if they could pass a message on to the doctor — and 30 minutes later, I got a phone call from her! I’ve just never had this level of care from any kind of doctor’s office, ever. Really blown away.

Let me add to the chorus about Dr. Cerveny. She was amazing! I would absolutely go back.

For those of you that might be looking for Dr Kiersten Rickenbach, formerly of Brooklyn Hosptial’s dermatology program, look no further because she’s here! She’s now Dr Cerveny (her married name) and her office has gotten a major upgrade from the old Brooklyn location, but everything else is still the same: attentive, knowledgeable, friendly dermatological care.
I’m from Florida and need frequent skin check-​ups and I can say with total certainty that Dr Cerveny provides the most thorough and cautious skin care I’ve had (and I’ve had plenty). She knows the ins-​and-​outs of just about every mole on my body and I feel so much better for it. She’s awesome!

Finding a good dermatologist in this town can’t be unlike finding a great agent in Hollywood, nearly impossible for the mere mortal. To land that AND a personable, friendly one is beyond expectations but it’s what I scored in finding Mudgil Dermatology. An exemplary medical experience, this is the type of attention most people hope for when finding and visiting a new doctor.
My first experience with a dermatologist as an adult and like most guys would be, I was a little nervous. Lots of little changes to my face and skin since nearing the 40 mark, I’d saved-​up my questions and decided which to ask first, expecting to be rushed by a busy West Village dermatologist. Dr. Mudgil greeted me with a smile, a warm handshake and was never remotely antsy about leaving the room to see the next patient. He took time with me, treated me professionally, explaining in detail both his recommendations and course of treatment. I just couldn’t have asked for a better all-​around experience.
The offices are comfortable and stylish for those who may like that sort of thing. Staff is friendly, personable, eager to answer questions. The office accepts a variety of insurance and files on the patients’ behalf. What’s even more impressive were both the personal email and phone call follow-​ups I received from Dr. Mudgil in the days after each of my visits.
I felt comfortable here with an experienced physician, a knowledgeable staff and an attention to detail from a medical provider that most patients unfortunately can only daydream about. I can’t recommend it enough.
