Magid, Morgan L. M.D.

I’ve gone to 2 visits. Waited nearly 1 hr and he would see me for 5 minutes. No follow up from his office at all.
Last appointment I set up, I was running a few minutes late and his office would not see me despite waiting an hour in previous visits in the lobby. Takes another month to get an appointment. Receptionist was very rude & unaccommodating. Decided to switch doctors today. I would not recommend him to anyone.

I came to Dr. Magid because he was highly recommended by a family member. I had two issues that I wanted to discuss, the first being a large mole that had appeared on my cheek and was very odd looking, the second is my chronic cystic acne.
I had a 9am appointment, which is the first appointment of the day. I arrived at 8:45 to fill out paperwork. At 9:20, I asked the receptionist if the Dr. was running late. She told me «I don’t know, he’ll be with you shortly». At this point, I was the only person in the waiting room. I saw several people come in, and be ushered back to rooms instantly.
At 9:45, I again asked the receptionist if the dr was running late, and if I should come back at another time. After all, it was 45 minutes after my appointment time, and I hadn’t been called back. She told me that he would be with me shortly.
At 10, I was called back into a room.
At 10:20 (an hour and twenty minutes after my appointment time) Dr. Magid came in. He looked at my chart, looked at my face, and simply said the mole was not an issue and he could write me a prescription for antibiotics for the acne. He was in an out in less than five minutes, and did not talk with me at all. He didn’t even get a history of my skin issues, or ask what I was currently doing to treat them.
I left feeling like I hadn’t even been treated like a real patient. When I went to pick up my prescription though, was when the real pain started. Dr. Magid didn’t sign the prescription form. So the pharmacy couldn’t fill it.
I called his office three times, and left messages with three different people, before I finally got a call back TWO WEEKS later. They had no record of my visit, and refused to resend my prescription. It took another week of back and forth before they finally got the prescription signed at to my pharmacy. Only, the script they finally sent over was for a one month supply, not the six months supply I was told I would get. When I tried to get another appointment, to get the script refilled, they had no openings for over a month.
I ended up going to my GP, who was able to get me in that week and wrote a prescription for one years worth of the antibiotics I need.

I have seen Dr. Magid for about 20 years and have sent three family members to him. He has always shown compassion while explaining options and procedures and spent time directing me to preventive help resources in searching for sun-​protective clothing in addition to sunscreens.
Dr. Magid has removed Melanomas and has always done the surgery expertly and with minimal discomfort. He once sent one of my biopsies to two additional specialists as he was not comfortable with the finding of the first lab, and it indeed was Melanoma which required a second surgery right away. While he does run late at times I am willing to wait for his expert care and the resulting peace of mind.

I was nervous seeing Dr. Magid after reading the reviews.
I found him very kind and sweet. He took my concerns seriously and listened.
He did a skin biopsy and was very gentle. It didn’t hurt at all.
The only negative I found is the wait time. He apparently was running on time today, but I still had to wait a good ½ hour in the exam room, so bring something to do while waiting.
They take patients in the order of appointments. I got there early and they told me they don’t do first come, first serve, but will take you if someone hasn’t shown up.

Dr. Magid incorrectly diagnosed my mole and that of my sister in law. He said they did not need to be removed. My sister in law returned A few months later and demanded hers removed. Her biopsy revealed melanoma.
I saw him last year and showed a suspicious mole to him, he told me my looked fine too. This year I went to a different doctor she measured it felt my lymph nodes removed it. It also biopsied as a pre-​melanoma. It should’ve been removed last year. I will not go back to Dr. Magid.

Everyone Unilocal when they want to complain but very seldom does anyone say anything nice when someone bends over backwards for you so .
I felt like I needed to get the message out about Dr Magid and his staff!
From the moment I walked in all the receptionist were very kind and courteous from Betsy through everyone I talked to. Dr Magid, was very good he even burned off a couple of skin flaws in two minutes very reasonable. I will definitely refer my friends and Family, I really appreciated how everyone made me feel there!

Dr. Magid has more years of professional knowledge than other dermatologist I have seen in the past. I have been seeing him for several years now, and he has removed several skin cancers, one that required skin grafting. The results were beautiful. But what really speaks for Dr Magid is his compassion for others. He is very caring, attentive, listens and truly believes in his work.

I have been going to Dr. Magid for a few years. In the last year or so I have noticed a visible difference. He has no time, has people scheduled at 10 minute intervals and has not been a good diagnostician lately. I have seen him 4 times for the same condition (he did not know exactly what it was but proscribed cream the first time) on my second visit he changed the cream and only after I have picked it up at the pharmacy did I notice that it is the same cream he prescribed for me in the past to which I had a reaction!-no comment from him when I mentioned it on my third visit!
As my condition worsened, he had no new ideas/​tests other than to go through a charade by calling in one of his associates who immediately proceeded to find ways of blaming me for the deterioration of my condition!
His average time with me was about 5 minutes! I finally went to see another doctor by then my condition required antibiotics and oral anti-​fungal pills because the condition went untreated for so long.

I had heard fine things about Dr. Magid for years. I went to him to have a benign growth removed from my face and I was extremely pleased with his pleasant personality and expertise. He’s definitely a super fine MD and person!

He missed my melanoma. What else can I say?

I have been going to Dr. Magid for years and find him an excellent, responsive doctor. I haven’t experience long wait times and really appreciate having him as my skin doctor. R. Dunlap

Dr. Magid is great. Capable, smart and listens well. But I’ve switched doctors because he is ALWAYS running 45 minutes to an hour late. Office staff doesn’t think it’s a big deal and I finally had to give up.

Love Dr. Magid! I’ve been seeing him since I was 13 with acne issues and now I’m in my mid-​thirties and see him every 6 mons for skin checks. He caught my pre-​cancer melonoma! I’ve never felt rushed with him and he takes a magnifying glass to look over my moles in question. He always remembers me and is very personable. Never had a problem with his reception staff but I will take off 1 star for the wait. Now I just schedule for first appointment in the morning. Of course that won’t work for people that need to get in right away. It doesn’t bother me so much to wait when I’m informed and since I know he takes a lot of time with me, he must be doing that with a lot of patients.

I really like Dr. Magid. He has treated me well and helped my acne a great deal. When I ask him something he doesn’t treat me like I don’t know what I’m talking about but is direct and kind in his explanations. True, the wait is a little long but I’ve never had to wait more than 30 minutes. The office could help this by getting a better magazine selection, but I generally just bring my own reading material.

After waiting a month to get my skin check appointment, I was pretty disappointed with the customer service I received. For one, I was seen about 45 minutes after my appointment time. Although I was thankful the receptionist warned me the doctor was running 45 minutes behind schedule (I left and returned).
This was my first all over skin check, so I was not sure what to expect. I was hoping the doctor would thoroughly check my face and entire body, ask about my sun exposure and provide some tips and recommendations.
Dr. Magid spent no more than 5 minutes with me. He had me stand up, turn around and told me I looked fine. That’s it. No questions or suggestions. I got the distinct sense he was in a hurry to get out of there and go home. Disappointing to say the least.

I was referred to Dr. Magid’s group practice for some minor skin issues. I found him to be consistently savvy and he fixed me right up, so I can and do recommend his skills.
However, I dropped him as my dermatologist after the third time where I waited more than one-​and-​one-​half hours in his crowded waiting room for my appointment.
It’s a skin care office — not like some big medical pimple emergencies are screwing up the schedule! I assume they must be double booking and cramming everyone in to get a higher turnover, and you know what? My time is just as valuable as the good doc’s, so I am voting with my feet.
