I didn't feel like Dr. Schweiger was really listening to me and really trying to help fix my problem. I have been to several dermatologist and I keep running into the same problem, I travelled to Manhattan from Queens hoping I could get better care. I was extremely dissapointed.

Dr. Schweiger comes across as intelligent, kind, and a good listener. I was pleased with his explanation and diagnosis and I would see him again. I was, however, disappointed with the wait time. I expected to see the doctor at 12:15pm; instead, I was only called in around 1pm.

The doctor and his assistant were great: thorough, polite and professional; however the front desk staff left a little to be desired--couldn't find my file, had to fill out complete set of paperwork again. It took almost an hour to see the doctor because they were so disorganized.

The wait time was a lengthy, almost 45 minutes. When the doctor finally saw me, he was quick to write prescriptions and just added on more as I described more symptoms. I didn't feel as though he really knew what my rash was and didn't quite take the time to ask many questions. Instead, I was the one explaining and asking questions so the visit felt inconclusive... I was told to fill try all the prescriptions and come back in 3-4 weeks for a follow-up. I suppose that's how things work there?

I really liked Dr. Schweiger, he was kind and very good at explaining different things and writing down the names of conditions and treatments. If there was a reason I wouldn't go back though, it was the staff. I found both the front desk and the nurse I saw to be incredibly rude and stiff. The receptionist needs to pretend she cares about her job, or find a new one. I also don't think that if you are going to see a doctor, you should have to limit the number of topics that you are going to talk to them about (to 3, according to the nurse that saw me before the doctor.) It not only seems ridiculous, but unethical, to be told a doctor can only advise on 3 topics. Particularly when one of them is a sun spot on my lip which he would like to monitor to make sure its not melanoma. All in all--definitely go see Dr. Schweiger, but maybe try out his other office location which is what I plan to do next time. The staff at this place were irritating and negligent in my opinion.
