Verified patient
The doctor is very efficient and knowledgeable. He gave me treatments right away and double checked with my schedule for followed up appointments for a complete treatment cycle.
“Wow that’s a lot of sun damage!” - probably not how any patient wants to be addressed by a provider as they enter the room and a great way to make sure someone does not adhere to yearly skin checks in the future.
A phenomenal doctor. I arrived in critical condition and felt immediately cared for. Would highly recommend for anyone suffering from severe eczema. We quickly found a path forward and he was very sympathetic to my condition and the cost of medications/treatments.
Verified patient
I was taken in on time and did not have to wait for my appointment. Dr. Wolpowitz was very thorough in his examination, answered all my questions and concerns, made suggestions, and took time to educate. Good bedside manner. He had two assistants/scribes with him which I liked because it allowed for more patient-provider interaction. Definitely will be coming back!
Clear communication and good listener! Was quick but felt like all my concerns were appropriately addressed, explained, and not rushed through
Dr. Wolpowitz is the best!! He makes you feel comfortable and answers any question that you have honestly and with actionable next steps.
Verified patient
Simply the best dermatologist in the business, in my view. Professional, thorough, great staff, expert and diligent from start to finish. Highly recommend!
Verified patient
Very good doctor. My 7 year old felt an instant connection, was not afraid and even shared some laughs with the doctor. Very clear communication and eased all my fears.
Excellent experience. Having skin cancer is a serious situation for me. My previous Drs from another practice, which is closer to my home, took a cavalier approach; no big deal, wait and see attitude. Dr Deon Wopowitz was outstanding! He spent the time needed with me. He provided explanations and addressed all my concerns. My intent to seeing him was for a second opinion, but decided to make him my primary. It's worth the 75 minute ride to see him.
Dr. Wolpowitz is great - highly recommend!
Verified patient
Outstanding provider - thorough, kind, professional. Didn’t feel rushed, took time to explain what I needed to know and address my questions. Feel lucky to have found such a great provider in Dr. Deon.
I felt like the appointment was very rushed. The doctor was quick to dismiss my prior medical care for my condition by other specialists, and then described the same tests that I had already done. When I then explained again that I had already had those tests done, he was surprised but again a bit dismissive of the results (even though he was about to offer the very same test). I didn't get to ask/have answered all my questions before he had to move onto the next patient. He did prescribe me something to clear up my condition, but I didn't feel like he gave me any time or thought to figure out what has been causing it.
Very clear and professional.
Verified patient
Dr. Wolpowitz was chatty and disarming. I enjoyed meeting him. He was thorough, answered all my questions, and left me reassured.
Verified patient
Annual skin screening. I had a couple questions/concerns which were checked and discussed in detail. Absolutely wonderful Doctor & complete staff. Super clean and so many Covid precautions were taken. I would highly recommend. Thank you
Verified patient
Dr. Wolpowitz is a great listener and communicator. He performed a thorough screening, catching a lot of potential future issues and offered solid, clear advice on what to do. He addressed all my concerns and he created a personalized treatment plan. I highly recommend Dr. Wolpowitz.
Verified patient
Most comprehensive, thoughtful, skilled dermatologist I’ve ever seen. I’m 54 and have been getting annual skin exams for years. Outstanding bedside manner, takes time to examine and explain. Very high marks in all respects.
Verified patient
Extremely friendly and nice. Appreciated his thorough exam that was handled with the utmost concern for modesty and my comfort. He was friendly, kind and explained everything in detail. The best dermatologist I've ever seen, highly recommend.
Verified patient
I would strongly recommend Dr. Wolpowitz! i came in for a relatively minor issue, but he still took his time asking questions and explaining my treatment options. I particularly appreciated that he was very upfront about what the costs of the different treatment options would be. It's very rare that a doctor acknowledges how expensive healthcare can be; to not only acknowledge what costs I should expect, but then also give recommendations for other treatment options if said costs weren't acceptable (all without any pushing or asking on my part) was truly a revolutionary experience.
Verified patient
All of the staff are friendly, hardworking, and well educated/trained. Dr Wolopwitz took time ,a methodical approach listened to my symptoms of a long term dermatitis situation. On a first visit, he outlined scenarios and options suggested 5 action tasks to take that was agreeable to me and him. These initial tasks for treating the dermatitis appear to be having positive results within first week.

Excellent

Verified patient
Dr. Wolpowitz was very thorough with my annual skin check and prescribed medication for my skin condition. He explained what changes to look for in moles. My first time visiting him and was satisfied with his exam.

Acne, Rash
Verified patient
The office is quite nice and I was seen right away- that was a big plus! I got more than 5 mins with the doctor which is rare with derms, so I did appreciate his commitment and thorough explanations of proposed treatments. However, he was condescending and tried to explain how female cycles work, to a woman who's been having periods for a long time now. Other than that, it was a good experience and I'm looking forward to continuing the treatment.
Very good with my reluctant 4year old! Thank you!
Verified patient
Dr Wolpowitz was very patient, listens to you and tries to get to the root cause of the issue. He wanted to know why I showed up in the first place and any concerns I have got which made me visit. He was very thorough in inspection. He was very knowledgeable and gives out the options to treat an ailment and doesn't just jump in to prescribe the strongest medicine right away.
Highly recommend! Very thorough.
Verified patient
Dr. Wolpowitz was great. He did an extremely thorough skin examination for both my facial acne and yearly mole check-up. He was clear and informative in what he saw and what his recommendations were for me, and we put a strong plan in place moving forward. Definitely would recommend to anyone who needs a regular check-in or something more specialized.
Verified patient
My visit with the doctor was great, the only problem was they didn't have a record of my appointment made through ZocDoc. They saw me anyway and were extremely nice.
Verified patient
I was so grateful to get in for a visit in two days via ZocDoc. The staff, assistant and doctor were all so nice and helpful. I will definitely be returning, and I recommend this practice and this physician to anyone looking for a new dermatologist. Thank you so much!!
Verified patient
It was very helpful and everyone was nice.
