Good, no nonsense, straight to the point kind of doctor. Even though my appointment didn't take longer than 10 min i felt that everything was explained in detail and my questions answered. The wait time could have been shorter but I'm ok with waiting if I'm satisfied with everything else. Would recommend.

He was nice enough, but I felt like he was rushing through my appointment before I really had a chance to ask any questions.

My son was a little apprehensive about seeing Doctor Pillemer but he was very nice and soft spoken. He took his time to explain my son's condition. I really like Dr. Pillemer and I will surely come back to this office.
October 27, 2016Kenneth L.Verified patient
I had seen three different doctors for my acne and so far he is the BEST!! He prescribed two cream for me and they work perfectly on point.
June 14, 2016Barbara G.Verified patient
Great!!!!
April 9, 2016Marlene H.Verified patient
Very quick appointment. I would have liked something a little more comprehensive and consultative.
The appointment did get the job done though! I went in for acne treatment and was given a thorough treatment plan. I just wish there were more lifestyle questions that would tell me what else I can change.
Also, they were going to send my prescription directly to my pharmacy. A day later the pharmacy still doesn't have the prescription. Not sure if its an issue with the system or with the pharmacy.

April 1, 2016David C.Verified patient
Wait time was 40 minutes, I was getting a bit steamed, but he sincerely apologized without being prompted -- that is very much appreciated (and unfortunately seldom done). Once I saw him, the visit itself was fine, quick and efficient.

Dr. Pillemer is excellent. Very professional and easy going. Provided extremely helpful information regarding my condition. Great bedside manner.

The wait in the office was a bit too long. But the appointment in the room with Dr. Pillemer was on target. It was very productive in the short time. If the wait time in the office was much shorter, I would give higher ratings.

November 18, 2015Muhammed H.Verified patient
very professional however I think things would have gone even better if the doctor had more back round information on my child as she has autism but there was no where on the forms to inform him of any special medical conditions
December 17, 2015Melissa C.Verified patient
My consultation with Dr. Pillemer went well. He examined my issue, we talked, he gave me some recommendations, and then he gave me a prescription that his office directly sent to my pharmacy (like magic!). Needless to say I liked that a lot. Anyway, I am to go back in one month, only if I want to... I liked that too, no pressure. I went to the Germantown office, they don't do cosmetic procedures there. Bethesda is the office where they do all the other stuff.

I needed to get a full body check, and was a little nervous that it would be awkward. Dr. Pillemer was professional, friendly, and definitely made it as not-awkward as possible! He spent a long time with me, without rushing, and answered a lot of questions I had about other skin issues. VERY highly recommend.
June 11, 2015Gale G.Verified patient
All of the staff were very friendly and courteous. I was in and out of my appointment very quickly. Dr. Pillemer is really nice and takes the time to listen and figure out what's going on. I really like this office and the fact that I can actually get an appointment in a reasonable amount of time!
