I don't usually like going to see any doctor but from the moment I stepped into the office, I was made to feel welcome. The appointment was thorough and never rushed. All my questions were answered thoughtfully. I definitely will be recommending her to all my friends.

Copied from my review on Yelp found here - http://www.yelp.com/biz/spring-street-dermatology-manhattan#hrid:QG7avxvyZs5rq3UcNapDUA/src:self ***** A new practice nestled in the center of SoHo, Spring Street Dermatology is just like me - practically perfect in every way. (*wink*) Seriously, though, as much as one can like a visit to a doctor's office, I liked my visit here. The offices are new and well-located. The decor is tasteful and modern with white leather seating, fresh flower arrangements, a crystal chandelier, large mirrors and exposed brick - very nice. They are also located on the top floor of the building (elevator, thankfully), so the exam rooms all have skylights, which is pretty fantastic because they provide ample natural light. If you saw my immediately previous review, I booked this appointment through ZocDoc, which is itself a wonderful service. As you can see, they have Saturday appointments, which is also in and of itself a miracle. Today I saw Dr. Palep, a youthful woman who is incredibly friendly, easy to talk to, and completely understanding of my concerns for having to pay big $$$ for prescriptions. Oh, and in terms of diagnosis, apparently I didn't get enough of the zit lifestyle when I was a teenager because it appears I may now be suffering from hormonal acne. OH JOY. Anyway, Dr. Palep was super nice and explained that there can unfortunately be adult onset of hormonal acne at basically any time. She also gave me a TON of samples to use (instead of writing me an Rx and having to pay for it), so now I have something to combat these suckers. I made a follow up appointment with her to see how this regimen turns out (and to get more samples!), and she will also do a full body check at that time, too. I really liked this practice and Dr. Palep. They offer beverages in the lobby/waiting area, the receptionist is friendly, and the waiting room and exam rooms appeal to my sense of the aesthetic. I felt that maybe the assistant could use a little more training...I felt like she didn't quite understand what I was saying when I said I had an allergy to sulfa (she instead wrote down "sulfur"). Also, when she asked if I had a history of medical problems and I said "it depends on what you define as a "problem,"" she pretty much gave me a blank stare. I explained that I didn't know if she wanted a complete medical history (e.g., I once had an allergic reaction to this and this lotion) or only something big (e.g., I had melanoma). As this is a new practice, maybe ease with this type of interaction will come with practice. Regardless, because of the personal attention paid to me by Dr. Palep, I didn't think the assistant contact was all that necessary anyway, so I'm not overly bothered by that initial interaction. I ended up arriving around 11:10 for my 11:15 appointment. I had already printed out and completed the new patient form available on their website. I was in an exam room by 11:20 and speaking with the assistant at that time, and then I only had to wait til maybe 11:30/11:35 to see Dr. Palep. Overall, considering the wait time epidemic that is common in Manhattan, I'm happy with the efficiency here. I recommend this practice and Dr. Palep (and the use of ZocDoc to book the appointment!). I'll be back.
