Sylvia M Suarez, MD

Dr Suarez is an impressive dermatologist. I’ve been going here for a few months and my acne has cleared up substantially — she has advised changes in diet/​cosmetics/​hydration/​lotions and helped me find the topical creams I needed before moving to prescription drugs, which was definitely the route I wanted to take. She is very straightforward and never tries to push unnecessary medications. Her assistant comes in the room first and takes your before/​after pictures and your charts so Dr Suarez can focus on you while in the office. She also always asks if there’s other dermatological problems she can help you with at the end of your appt, if there’s something else you want to bring up.
I’d give her 5 stars except her receptionist is absolutely impossible. She’s rude on the phone, uncooperative in person, and does not professionally represent what Dr Suarez should have in the office. If you can get past her, there’s an amazing doctor on the other side!

I am a nurse. This review is specifically for the reception desk. I called in needing to see the doctor within the day because I had a very large swollen, red, painful, hot, lump. Exactly what I told the receptionist. An infected cyst. She could not get me in, obviously with no knowledge she does not know that it can rupture and cause septic infection. I asked to talk to a nurse, she said they were busy. The receptionist should not be the only person that you can get a hold of here, that is a liability. I have never heard of no on-​call nurse during the day or no availability to talk to a doctor. If these things are available someone please inform the secretary

They have moved to 2136 Gallows Rd. Visited for first time yesterday. Saw the PA who was very knowledgeable and friendly. Made a follow up appointment. If you call for an appointment, you might be turned off by the attitude of the receptionist but that is not reflective of the mediacal staff.

I was extremely impressed with Dr. S., she is very professional and very attentive to detail.

I took my 5 year old daughter in to assess two moles she has on her back and shoulder (a follow up visit from three years ago). First off, when making an appointment, I had a. choice of taking a cancellation for the next morning or waiting 3 — 4 weeks, so that could be an issue (or wasn’t for me – the cancellation worked out fine). Then the receptionist, as another reviewer pointed out, was somewhat unfriendly, but I wouldn’t call her foul. The wait time was about 10 – 15 minutes, the office was clean and a few toys to help keep my daughter occupied. Once in the examination room, the assistant came in very quickly, had all of the charts loaded on the laptop, and did a quick check. Then only a few minutes later, Dr. Suarez came in with the assistant. She asked a few questions, did a thorough check for other potential issues, examined the moles taking updated measurements which were recorder by the assistant all the while explaining what she was doing and why. She was very courteous, explained all options, and answered all of my questions thoroughly. I never felt rushed and I felt as though Dr. Suarez was perfectly competent. I was very satisfied overall with the visit.

This rating is based solely on her receptionist who you basically have to deal with first and regardless. She answered the phone in a foul mood and then put me on hold for ages. I had to hang up. I guess I will never know how good the doctor is. But my tolerance level for bad doctor staff is at zero, especially when there are other good doctors around with more professional staff representing them.

If I could give 0 stars I would. I saw Dr. Suarez today and she didnt wash her hands when she came to the room, she was rushed and I felt as if she had to run out the entire time she was seeing me. Each time I asked her a question she wanted to answer and run out the door. Will NEVER go back there again.

An absolutely fabulous dermatologist. I was concerned about a mole that another derm had dismissed as being fine. After getting a recommendation from a friend, I saw Dr. Suarez. She thought the mole should be removed. Turned out to be pre-​cancerous. Every year, she does full-​body scans of my moles, thoroughly examining them with a magnifying glass and taking pictures when necessary. She is polite, answers all my questions, never rushes, and doesn’t push expensive cosmetic items on me (unlike the other doc in her office). Highly recommended!

Dr. Suarez is excellent. She listens fully and considers all of the possibilities. She’s quick and efficient. She has a great, friendly manner and always makes the time to hear me through. She does not unjustifiably recommend «procedures» and I never feel as if I’m being sold something. She would rather you solve problems through diet and creams before resorting to any invasive or expensive means. Highly recommended.
