Goldin Skin Dermatology And Dermatologic Surgery

My experience with Dr. Goldin was horrible I was was treated like human waste Dr. Goldin had two shadows one taking notes and one shadowing him the Exam was humiliating in front of other without my consent I have hundreds of open sores never been sick his reply is that I see to see a therapist this doctor dose not know me I called and complained to BlueCross Bluesheild then the Doctor calls and offer me Doxi to cover his back this is not a smart Doctor run as fast as you can this Doctor needs continuing education he is far from kind caring compassionate or a doctor you can rate run… And on my arm you though it was a scare if you had taken your time and studied my problem you were sure to bill over two hundred dollars and did zero you shouldn’t be allowed to practice your a night mare Doctor ask your shadows if they wanted to be treated the way you treated me your a horrible man time to retire your eyes are really bad run don’t walk! This Doctor is all about billing high bills to caught up in the money not patient care that’s for sure… I’m not paying you for help medical help to hear about Scott’s money your seriously not a professional you need schooling on proper protocol I hope the rest of your patients write about their god awful Experience. And too add to this my arm was NOT a scar it was a tendon that busted you need further education from an antibiotic your not a good Doctor run from this horrid Doctor and I mean uneducated and has NO Bussiness in Practice!!! Run as fast as you can!!!

It was not a pleasant experience. I waited for 30 minutes for Dr. LaBarbera and a Resident for a 10 minutes face time. I don’t mind having the Resident, I mind the fact that Dr. LaBarbera was talking to the Resident in key words while I was explaining my condition. I don’t think that was professional.
I felt rushed for my first visit. I will not be scheduling for a return visit.

Let me tell you about my experience with Dr. Goldin. I came into his office a few years ago about my skin being burnt by my lower crown. I’ve been to many dermatologist and every one gave me a different answer. When I finally went to him. (Need I remind you I made an appt. sat there for almost 2 hrs before he got to me.) his nurse was very nice. Ask me questions and even saw the look in her eyes where she kinda felt bad for me.
As soon as Dr. Goldin came in, I already felt a bad vibe. I was already frustrated that I had to wait almost 2 hrs. He sad down ask me questions. I even gave him other doctors paper work and opinions. So he goes. «So what is it that your trying to ask me?» I said, I need your second opinion and tell me what is wrong with me! Before he can look at my head, he says you have alopecia. What?! No I don’t! That’s natural hair fall. That’s not what I have! He then turn and gave me a dirty look then rolled his eyes at me! Like are you fucking serious?! Then I tried asking him questions and he didn’t even bother answering me. His nurse saw exactly what happen and answer him for me. What a fucking jerk! I can’t even believe I had to pay him for this visit! So angry I didn’t just walk off. Dr. Goldin, I hope you’re reading this. You made me feel like shit over the years! I’ve never trusted any dermatologist again because of how you treated me.
Readers be very careful on picking your doctors! I advise you DON’T GO HERE!

Super nice doctor, very knowledgable. Loves people, loves to help!

I called this dermatologists office on the request of my doctor in July of 2011 as I was diagnosed with lichen planus. Dr. Goldin had no appointments available but they offered me to see Dr. Ulitsky. I was satisfied with the service that I received from Dr. Ulitsky.
In September of 2012, I received a letter stating that they have been trying to reach me regarding my bill of $ 911. I immediately called the office and spoke to Michelle. She told me that I must have a high deductible and should call my insurance agency. I also told her that this was the first communication I had ever received. She argued with me about what my address was. Very rude. As I see this isn’t the only complaint about Michelle’s rudeness, I wonder why she still has a job. Anyway, I proceeded to call my insurance agency and I explained the situation. They told me that on many instances, the office submitted their bills to the wrong address and that they sent them 3 letters informing them of this. So when they kept sending to wrong address, they denied them. They also told me that they sent one of the bills 13 months after service when they have 12 months to submit, so they denied that one as well. I, of course, called Michelle immediately back and told her what they had said to me. She very rudely said she would have to call them and call me back. I gave her my cell number so she could reach me at any time.
I never received a call back so I assumed this was taken care of. End of October rolls up and I receive a notice in the mail that Goldin Skin had put me in collections for the amount owed. I immediately called and asked to speak to Michelle’s supervisor Jackie. I AGAIN explained the situation. She said she would look in to. I explained that she needs to take me out of collections immediately. She asked that I fax her the back of my insurance card where it CLEARLY states that the office is to submit to their local BCBS office. She called me back to let me know that the collections agency has put my account on hold. I obviously was not happy with. I contacted my lawyer at this time. I have spoken to Jackie twice since then and I am STILL getting bills sent to my home for this.
It is NOT my problem that this office decided to wait 13 months to submit one of the bills and that they keep submitting to the wrong office.
Once again, I had to call Jackie instead of her calling me. I wonder if she felt I would go away? She then told me I only owed $ 136. Why couldn’t this have been done earlier instead of putting me through all this?!
Needless to say… I will NEVER go back and would NEVER recommend this office.

Dr. Goldin is by far the best doctor I have ever used — — period. In my experience with Dr. Goldin over the past 12 years, his office and reception staff have never been anything but fantastically accommodating and always courteous. I have two teenage daughters and through these past years, Dr. Goldin has been sensitive to their concerns and made sure that all his consultation and treatment was supportive and most important, wonderfully effective. Time and again, with our youngest daughter who has some on-​going concerns, Dr. Goldin saw her on very short notice, sometimes even within hours. In each case, he was as much a terrific medical doctor as he was a calming force for me and my daughter.
My wife and I actually look forward to our annual appointments with him, again because of his great professional skill as well as a fun and engaging personality that I have never seen in any of my other doctors. Without any exception, I would recommend Dr. Goldin to all family and friends. He is simply the best!

As a patient of Dr. Goldin’s for years, I can honestly say that he’s the best doctor I’ve ever seen. The negative reviews are completely unfounded and could not be further from the truth. After seeing multiple nearby dermatologists without satisfaction, I began seeing Dr. Goldin and could not be happier. He is not only an excellent clinician, but also a wonderful person. He is always kind, attentive, and professional. I’m consistently seen in a timely manner and, contrary to some of the reviews on this website, have always found his staff to be professional and courteous. Of course, as with any busy practice, one needs to plan ahead and not expect to make an appointment a week ahead of time. This is not a negative, but rather a testament to his sizable and loyal patient base. Since moving to New York last year, I still make it a point to schedule my visits when in town visiting. Thanks for everything Dr. Goldin!

Wow, yeah, good luck getting anyone civil on the phone/​making an appointment in a timely manner. I found this office through my insurance provider lookup (where they were listed as accepting new patients) and then searched around Unilocal to see what the reviews looked like. There have been a few more positive ones recently, so I thought I’d give it a try in case they’d switched receptionists. Nope! Previous reviewers were correct. I called, got a surly hello, and then was informed (snarkily) that, «Um, he doesn’t have any openings until January.» And let me just say that I am a super nice person on the phone with any kind of office staff since I clerked for a while myself. Doesn’t matter how good your care is if you can’t get people in the door. Might want to try to find someone with some manners to answer phones for you.

I’ve been to Dr. Goldin twice before, and both times he and his staff were fantastic! I’ve seen a few Dermatologist’s in the area… and nothing compares. Dr. Goldin is knowledgable, truthful, and actually takes the time to listen and care for your needs!

We set an appointment for our 5 year old. And were told that if we’d be late by 15 minutes, we need to straight set another appointment. So, we made sure we are there 10 – 15 minutes earlier for paperwork. Oh, well. They were late. Very late. And they kept calling people who arrived after us with no explanation of why we are kept waiting or just the courtesy of saying that maybe they are behind schedule, but we’d be next or anything else to help us understand what is going on. I asked the lady at the front desk why other people get in and we are still there. She only said: «nurse’s visits». And continued doing what she was doing. We waited for half an hour and got up, asked for our paperwork back and said that we cannot wait anymore. The clerk silently gave us the papers and did not utter a word. No «sorry», «let’s get another appointment» or «good bye»… So, I am not sure what else they do there except avoiding patients… But I am discouraged. It is not professional. Nobody goes to a dermatologist because they had nothing else to do and common sense requires at least for them to be polite if not anything else. Poor, poor manners.

I have been going to Dr. Golding for almost 20 years now. I went in covered in eczema and 2 weeks later it was clear and has remained clear for all that time.
He’s approachable and easy to talk to. I love his bedside manner. The office staff is efficient and effective. There is not a lot of waiting before seeing the Dr.
Highly recommended!

Dr. Goldin’s office is very well-​run and efficient. He uses state of the art technology and trained at very reputable institutions. I saw him for a skin cancer screening and he was very thorough. I would definitely recommend him as a dermatologist!

Dr Goldin is a great doctor he listens to your concerns and gives you options. My acne was gone in a matter of months. I am very happy with the service and will continue to go back.

after fifteen years of skin «experts» pushing steroids on me and having no answers for me for my mild to moderate psoriasis, doctor goldin’s treatment had it virtually gone in two weeks. he has a knowledgable and straight forward manner — is direct and thorough. he prescribed a compound that performed a virtual miracle. in my view, run don;t walk if you have a psoriasis condition — i have seen the so called «leaders in the field» with NO results — in my book doctor goldin is the leader in the field.

I am extremely particular when it comes to my doctors. I am squeamish so I need a doctor that treats me like a patient, yet I want someone who is intelligent, no-​nonsense and confident in their diagnosis and treatment. I found all of these qualities in Dr.Goldin. I have been to see him about half a dozen times and have never once been disappointed. I highly recommend Dr. Goldin.
