“Dr Luftman is incredibly knowledgeable I trust her to find things on my skin that need to be removed after 60 plus years of life and she goes over me with a magnifying glass . I need the confidence in my dermatologist to look at my bumps and discolorations and tell me what we are keeping and what we are not . She found something this time not much bigger than 1 mm . It was off in five mins . I will sleep better because of her. She doesn’t push products on you but you can ask her anything she knows what is good and what is mumbo-jumbo. Even if insurance did not pay for it I would pay out of pocket to see her and keep her as my doctor . I cannot say enough about my regard for her .”

Efficient, knowledgeable, professional and personable. I couldn’t ask for more in a doctor. Dr. Luftman is happily my new dermatologist!
December 17, 2025Leslie D.Verified patient
I texted 5 friends when I got out of my appointment with Dr Luftman to tell them all that I had finally found the perfect derm for all of us! I seriously cannot recommend Dr Luftman enough. She was super knowledgeable, very attentive listener, nonjudgmental and hugely helpful in all of my issues. I’m so happy I found her!

She was very helpful and listened to everything I had to say, then told me how she would help me. She is by far one of the best doctors I've seen in quite awhile. Her office is very clean and the people there were so nice and personable. I definitely will be continuing to see her.
November 5, 2015Daryn H.Verified patient
The main thing that I didn't like is that she doesn't write perscriptions and you have to order from the service she recommends (which takes up to a week to receive your meds)... There wasn't another option. Won't be back.

I thought Dr. Luftman was extremely professional. Additionally, she had a very thoughtful demeanor and made me feel completely comfortable about the care I received.

I thought the visit went very well but I waited too long to be given forms that needed to be filled out. They should be been given soon after the sign-in.
