Spend 2 min with me and very rude to me and assistants; recommend over the counter cream . He asked me what kind of moisturizer I use, when I told him Korean product ‘Sulwhasoo’ , he right away dismissed and gave me sample of Cetaphil .. he is a joke .

Dr. Adler is the only good dermatologist left in NY. I have seen him for many years. After seeing too many doctors and trying every medication A friend recommended Dr.Adler he knew exactly what was going on with my skin and how to treat it. He knows what he is doing, understands whats going on with your skin and knows how to talk with his patient -clearly , to the point and understandable.

Verified patient
I had to wait over 45 minutes past the time of my appointment to be called. No one let me know why there was a delay or offered any apology or explanation. This not the first time this has happened here and I am seriously considering switching to a different office because of the long, unexplained wait times. In addition, the doctor's assistant seemed very inexperienced and needed a lot of direction from the doctor, who even had to spell a word for her that she didn't understand.
Verified patient
Doctor Adler is first-rate.

Always professional, informative and has helped me a few times step up taking care of my skin and avoiding future skin cancers. Very preventative advice and care. Dr. Adler has very nice staff and is a personable person that cares for your health. I recommend anyone to get their skin needs met here and it always very clean as well.
Verified patient
The reception staff were courteous and professional and so was the nurse who took my complaint and history. Doctor Adler was also courteous and professional with great listening skills. I would definitely recommend.
Dr. Adler had a great bedside manner and was very nice and gracious. He addressed all of my concerns in a very thorough manner. and he made sure to ask if I had any questions before he finished his exam.
Verified patient
Very nice and professional.

A usual courteous and professional. Thank you!
Verified patient
Terrible. I arrived early in hopes that I could be seen , they said he was fully booked and I had to wait my assigned time. Fast forward to me being the only patient sitting there alone for an hour. What a way to treat a new patient. My appointment took less than 5 minutes. Went in for a skin condition and was told he didn’t know what it was and suggested I use a bleaching cream to lighten the areas around the rash. So he prescribed a cream I could get over the counter. Waste of time.
Verified patient
I genuinely enjoyed my visit. I was there for an annual skin exam and mole removal. The office was clean and bright, receptionist was very professional and friendly comparing to my visits to other offices so it really exceeded my expectation. Doctor Alvin Adler was also very nice and professional.
Verified patient
Extremely friendly and helpful. Addressed my needs right away and scheduled a follow up. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a dermatologist.
Very friendly and efficient, answered questions clearly. Looking forward to utilizing as my new dermatologist going forward.
Verified patient
Dr. Alvin Adler was a complete professional. He made me feel comfortable right away, knew exactly what my condition was, and provided a solution immediately. I left the office with a positive feeling and would recommend Dr. Alvin to anyone!
Very honest doctor.
Only one visit in, but my first impression was underwhelming in terms of wait time and bedside manner. That being said the location is convenient and service was satisfactory, so I will be back. If the treatment works then i will be happy enough.
He was extremely professional and knowledgeable.
