Patient Reviews for Dr. Noah Scheinfeld - MD
Very competent.
As always, professional.
The best there is.
Everything was perfect!
I am compelled to write this because my visit yesterday was probably the best visit I've ever made to a doctor. Dr. Scheinfeld offered me a second opinion on my skin condition and less than 24 hours after heeding his advice and treatment plan i feel absolutely better. In my opinion, he is a great doctor and makes you feel at ease. When I asked him how to pronounce his last name, he just said "you can call me Noah". He was receptive to my questions, and was very direct in his answers. I felt absolutley at ease that this is a well qualified doctor who knows what he is talking about. The staff was really great too, they even faxed something over for me to my office so i was able to do some work during the brief wait. I don't wish my skin condition on anyone, its annoying and sometimes painful, but I would say that if you are in need of a dermatologist make your way over to see this doctor on 55th street.
Caring doctor
he's a great doctor...really listens to you and creates a plan to help you together
Awful dermatologist and quite creepy to boot. I went in with dermatitis. They made me sign a form that said any procedure I would have to pay $250 for. Dr. Scheinfeld comes in, said I had dermatitis and should be put on meds and a cream, then poked me with a little instrument right away (like those sticks that they use to extract pimples with during a facial), and said "sign here." The form said that I had just gotten a "biopsy." I said, "That's a procedure? I didn't consent to that." He said, in the CREEPIEST way possible, "Well, then it's on me." And then he was all mad and left the room without explaining anything else. Literally the entire appointment lasted exactly 1 minute. DO NOT GO THERE.
This is a fast paced no nonsense operation. If you need cuddling, don't go here. If you're there to get checked, get a recommendation and get the hell out, it's the best place for you.
Quick and painless. Staff was very well Trained, courteous and responsive. I wish more physicians would run a practice like.
He was professional and friendly which you don't see alot of in doctors. He made my visit stress free. Thanks Doc!
Doctor: great. Receptionists: rude!
I just left Dr. Scheinfeld's office after my initial visit. I have to say that it was a wonderful experience all around. Dr. Scheinfeld is delightful. He explained my condition to me in a way I understood. At one point, he showed me an article he wrote about my exact condition--which really speaks to his competence and knowledge. The staff made my visit very comfortable. I dreadded making a Modnday morning appointment, for fear that I would be made to wait forever. Instead, I was seen quickly and yet not rushed. I highly recommend Dr. Scheinfeld!
I agree with some of the other reviews, he was very quick about 5mins but I am wondering if its because I have mild acne ,just need some clearing and he has seen alot of patients like me. maybe if i had a skin disorder he would spend more time listening. he was very pleasant though, knows his stuff and hopefully i can get good results.
I think that he was fine- his receptionists on the other hand are disgustingly rude.
No problems at all with him or his staff.
Dr Scheinfeld has correctly diagnosed me and rapidly cured me when other dermatologists (especially one who appears almost regularly in the front page of the NYT) misdiagnosed me and wasted my money on expensive but useless prescriptions and creams. With graduate degrees from Harvard, Yale and Columbia, it shouldn't be surprising that he's such a whiz. Indeed, your first experience with him will seem to go too fast; you'll wonder how he could ever succeed in such a flash, but that's just how quick his brilliant mind is. If you want to be cured of a skin ailment quickly, go see Dr. Scheinfeld; if you want to feel like you're worth being talked to at length, go see a shrink.
My first and only encounter with Dr. Scheinfeld was awful enough that I feel compelled to review. I would never recommend him to anyone. He barged in the office without introducing himself or knocking. He interrupted the discussion I was having with his assistant and never bothered to learn what I had already told her. He talked incessantly and self importantly, as if his voice would somehow cure my skin. He wasn't interested in my symptoms or my history. He didn't attempt a diagnosis, but even if he had, I can't imagine how it could have been accurate considering he interrupted me every time I tried to explain my situation.
Very unprofessional receptionists. Rude and stuck up. Doctor barely spends 5 minutes with you and seems to rush you out. I wish I read the online reviews before going to him. Now I have an unnecessary scar on my cheek.
A true professional.
loved him!
The worst experience I've ever had at a doctor. Really seemed like he was on uppers. Wouldn't explain clearly what he thought the issue might be, and convinced me to let him do a biopsy without feeling comfortable with it. The procedure felt sloppy and I almost fainted. Then he offered me a limonata and, while I was still half-conscious, ranted about the UK health care system. Needless to say, I asked his office to send my biopsy results to another doctor.
Dr. Scheinfeld is probably one of the brightest people I have ever met. His knowledge about run of the mill, everyday dermatology as well as esoteric, 'you'll be lucky if you've seen one case like this in 50 years' is astounding. I have referred my husband (also a physician) as well as several of my children to him for routine, as well as more complicated issues. Also, when speaking to colleagues of Dr. Scheinfeld, all I hear is glowing comments about his medical knowledge and expertise. Without a doubt, I highly recommend Dr. Scheinfeld to anyone looking for a good dermatologist in NYC.
He cares about his patients.
Dr. Scheinfeld has a keen mind and a steady hand. He performed painless mole removal for me. I have seen Dr. Scheinfeld for a long time for various skin disorders and he has always been able to help me out.
I felt very rushed and left uninformed of what procedures he was doing and why. I didn't feel like he cared about my specific case or needs and rather I was lumped into a category.
As always a good experience,very helpful and concerned.
long wait, great staff, sign away all your rights even if he makes a mistake, better DR's around,
Very profesional and answeres my questions.
I think someone called him wacky in a previous review. Spot on. Felt very comfortable with his knowledge and prognosis.
Dr. Scheinfeld was great. He cut right to the point and helped me with my issue. He was all about solving my problems right away! He explained to me what my benefits covered, what my options were, and wrote me 3 Rx's without any run-around.
Great doctor and great staff!
very professional explained everything in language I could understand, I already told one of my friends to go to him... he is aces
i had discoloration of the skin this guy frightened me and asked if i had AIDS...i hadn't even been sexually active, i dont know if the dr. implied this because i am black. i cannot recommend him for anything other than counseling.
He was level-headed and personable with just the right amount of wacky.
Really quick in and out. If he solved my problems, then he's a miracle worker, if he doesn't I'll say he's full of crap. Hoping for the former, of course. Nice guy too.
service is great, very punctual for the times i visited. Patient's doctor :)
Excellent, efficient and down to earth physician. Grateful to have found him!
my visit met all expectations. My questions were answered and the doctor and staff were all very pleasant and thorough.
Wonderful bedside manner and quick and accurate diagnosis. Thanks!
Wonderful first visit. Waited less than 3 minutes and found Dr.Scheinfeld to be a good listener and a doctor who was truly interested in researching various treatment options to treat my condition. I did not feel rushed and found his staff courteous and professional. I left feeling extremely satisfied with my visit.
Was not happy with this doctor. Rushes you out of his office as soon as possible. Cuts off your questions to save time. Very cursory and superficial examination. Overall very unsatisfied and unhappy with his poor level of surface. If you want to feel completely rushed and leave with unanswered questions, please come here so the doctor can see you for 10 min and kick you out ASAP
He was very quick and pleasant. Was able to determine my problem right away.
Very nice office. Staff was very professional and Dr. Scheinfeld took his time to evaluate and treat me. A very positve experience overall!
Very attentive and good knowledge of his specialty. Almost no waiting time. Would highly reccommend this Doctor.
Professional, quick and thorough.
My visit was great i think so far he's on top of matter's of my concern's
My visit with Doctor Scheinfeld was pleasant and instructive. Doctor Scheinfeld has a wonderful disposition and explained in detail the condition I was be treating for and the options available to me. Furthermore, his staff was polite and professional. There were several patients in the comfortable and state of the art waiting room. Even though the office was busy, my appointment was right on a schedule which is a real plus. Furthermore, the office is centrally located and easy to reach by train, cab and is walking distance from a wide segment of the mid town district. I highly recommend Doctor Scheinfeld.
He seems really stuck up and spends less than 5 minutes with you. Doesn't seem to even care. One of the worst doctors I have ever went to. A zombie can put on more of an effort.
he addressed my concern w/o brushing me off
I was very satisfied with Dr. Scheinfeld advice and his knowledge of my problem. Highly reccomended!
Only spent 5 minutes with me, mumbled a scientific name and I had to ask him what it was. No time for other questions. I felt expedited
Very professional.
Not the friendliest receptionists. The Dr. walked in while I wasn't even done changing. No knock. He looked at my skin for all of 10 seconds (no exagerration). Really? Would not recommend! Ever!
so quick and no nonsense!
Professional and efficient without leaving me feeling like I did not get the personal attention and consideration I needed. Have already reccomended him!
Really good experience. He's a very personable guy who takes the time to have a conversation but gets the job done quickly and thoroughly. I had to get an irregular mole removed-not the most pleasant of tasks but my experience was as pleasant and painless as could be under the circumstances. I highly recommend Dr. Scheinfeld.
Great doctor, highly recommend - and high quality, responsive staff, including an exceptional physician's assistant!
Very pleased with first visit.
Dr. Scheinfeld is the best. He is very persistant and works with you to make sure that everything is okay. I took my fiance to Dr. scheinfeld and he love him too. I would recommend anyone to his office.
The office is very sanitary; The staff seems friendly & helpful. The Doctor was quick to see me, however, I went to him for one reason, which he dismissed all too soon for my liking, & focused on something totally different which I wasn't even worried about. He proceeded to pull out a needle to take a sample of what he thought was a potential problem without fully explaining it to me or asking me if it was ever looked at. After taking the sample, without fully getting dressed, he asked me to sign a piece of paper. After reading, it was a waiver in case I get a permanent scar or pains, etc... a document which I should have signed BEFORE he took the sample!
Was in and out in 35 minutes as a new patient. 15 minutes in the doctors office, but ALL 15 minutes were with him. Not some low-grade assistant taking my info, for him to then come in and read it for 10 seconds and misdiagnose. Plus, he was caring, listened, and truly felt like he knew what he was talking about. Great first experience.
Quick and efficient, knowledgeable and reassuring. Pleasant staff. No issues.
Dr. Scheinfeld is friendly and good at communication. I'm happy with my visit and wait to see if the medicine he prescribed is going to work.
Very friendly, and knowledgeable. He made me feel very comfortable asked the rite questions, honestly all and all the best doctor visit i have had yet. the office was very clean and up to date receptionists were friendly also. If you need a dermatologist don't hesitate see Dr. Scheinfeld u wont regret it.
I was seen ten minutes before my actual appointment. The office was very clean and looked high end. The staff was very courteous and helpful. The doctor was very thorough and made sure to answer all my questions. I will definitely recommend Dr. Scheinfeld to my friends.
