Great experience overall. Only waited about 10 minutes after checking in and was seen by the provider right away. Exam went quickly and efficiently and all my concerns were listened to. Prescriptions were sent to my pharmacy right away.

Dr Kramer is always very pleasant and very available to speak to you about whatever is bothering you (skin-related of course!).

Very nice and knowledgable. She will also speak to you in advance regarding everything she does which I also appreciated.

Great overall check-up but did not feel that the doctor was very engaged with my questions on some of my skin issues.

Verified patient
My doctor and physician’s assistant were very professional, kind, and strong listeners. The office was clean with medical information displayed and made me feel confident about the level of service. The front desk communication was a bit peculiar but won’t discourage me from coming back.
This was my annual full body scan - I felt I was checked thoroughly and given the opportunity to ask questions. I was even prescribed something to help with moderately dry skin. As I do not have any real skin issues/concerns - my visit is pretty quick - but I don't feel like I was rushed.
Verified patient
Great appointment but did not give me notice that they provided a service that was outside of the office visit copay resulting in a surprise bill a month later.
I like the location, the office staff, and Frances Kramer. I feel confident in her ability and expertise regarding skin concerns. Lovely visit!
The PA was totally uninterested in why I came to the office. The medical assistant came in and drilled me, took my picture and basically said the doctor really doesn’t want to see you. When I explained further she went back and then the doctor agreed to speak with me. The visit took 3 minutes. What a waste of my insurance. My appt took place a week earlier due to an opening of an earlier appointment.
Verified patient
Very good, quick and professional!
Verified patient
I was a little disappointed after waiting 35 minutes for the doctor she had less than 5 minutes to spend with me, I felt hurried and as if she didn’t have a full understanding of my issue. I ended up with a prescription differing to what she had described.
Frances was helpful and gave me a quick treatment but spoke 100 mph and ran out the door. I had to clarify with the reception who were relatively nice but really didn't care about being there.
Verified patient
Kind, quick, and competent.
Verified patient
I saw this provider for a cosmetic procedure and she was great at explaining everything that was being done, as well as checking in on my comfort levels. The medical assistant and receptionist were very kind and professional too. Wonderful experience!
Patient, took the time to answer all questions, relieved anxiety and nerves, and addressed all concerns! Her assistant and the receptionist were both incredibly warm as well.
The office is clean and the staff did an awesome job, but the MD literally was just repeating a script without actually listening or doing anything but a 5 minute look on me.
I previously saw a Schweiger dermatologist on UES and was very pleased with my experience. However, this time I went to the BK Heights location and it was unsatisfactory. I arrived 15 minutes prior to my appointment, and the lights were off and no one acknowledged me. After getting in the room and undressing, I was then told that the PA (Frances Kramer) would be 35 minutes late for the appointment due to traffic. When she arrived, she rushed through the skin check, and I didn't feel confident that she was really looking at my skin. There was no close examination of any moles -- felt more like she was doing a once-over of my body. She also didn't check my scalp, and then only looked at one small section of it after I asked. The whole appointment lasted maybe 5 minutes. I will likely use Schweiger again but recommend a different doctor and office.
Verified patient
The entire office staff was friendly and professional. The office was very clean, and they offered several hand santasizer stations. I will definitely recommend this office to my co-workers.
Verified patient
The bedside manner was less than ideal. The doc seemed very rushed and didn’t want to hear out anything I might’ve been dealing with. The whole visit took 5 minutes and didn’t fully address any of my concerns. Will not be coming here again.
This is my second visit with Dr. Kramer. I visited for a different reason before and this visit felt more comfortable. She’s really nice and knowledgeable.
She was attentive, knowledgeable and helpful.
Verified patient
Dr Cukierwar is friendly and has great bedside manner. She knew what the problem was right away and explained to us the treatment process.
Verified patient
Great office, staff is super nice, my exam with the PA was slightly less thorough than I would have liked but she had a pleasant bedside manner and answered all of my follow up questions without making me feel rushed.
Great experience with zocdoc, with doc, thanks!!
Frances listened to my concerns and was willing to provide me the context I needed to understand what treatment would be most effective.
Verified patient
Waited with a 2 year old for about 45 mins to be seen. Extremely frustrating experience. Waiting area unventilated, despite openable windows.
It was very pleasant, with only a short wait time. Staff was friendly. It was my first annual skin screening and Dr. Cukierwar was very thorough and easy to talk to.
