I appreciated that he gave a couple treatment options for non-life-threatening concerns. Seemed to have seen a lot of cases.

January 10, 2022Nichola R.Verified patient
I was extremely disappointed with my experience at this office. Not only did they not send me a heads up (as a new patient) that the office would be closing in a month, but the NP I saw for a few minutes at most, is leaving the practice. I had a list of questions for the NP of which she answered none of and only then alerted me that she was leaving the practice and the office was closing anyways, as opposed to receiving a heads up ahead of the appointment from the office. The office staff was not very friendly, the office was difficult to locate and it felt like my time and resources were wasted on a useless appointment. Now I have to start the search for a new dermatologist all over again which could've been saved by receiving one message from the office as a heads up, ahead of my appointment.

His staff is amazingly kind and friendly. I did a biopsy and when I got the results I was a little apprehensive I called the office and a few hours later the doctor called me back and informed me clearly about my case, calming me down and gave me the certainty that I am in excellent hands . Very happy with my choice !!!

Saw another doctor at this office. The experience was great. My skin check was thorough and found another spot that I didn't notice myself. Great office!
August 19, 2016Grace M.Verified patient
There was a bit of a wait - I didn't see the dermatologist until about 30 minutes after my appointment time. However, everyone was very friendly and professional. The dermatologist was very quick and efficient (it wasnt Jeffrey himself)

I think the front desk team is so welcoming and kind. I was lost and they assisted me in finding the office - no problem. I LOVED the follow up I received once I made the appointment. And I was in and out in 45 minutes. My procedure was painless and I was very nervous about it so that was comforting. I did ask for a card to refer a co-worker and am happy to refer anyone who needs a dermatologist or the type of care this office provides..

Have had some trouble finding a good dermatogist in the city. Loved Dr. Binstock, he listened and was patient also saw inmediate results following his treatment
April 5, 2014Viviana B.Verified patient
He was rude when I tried to point out an irritation on the back of my neck because I couldn't see it. I think he realized he was rude, but I won't be going back. Plus, it was expensive and I was surprised my insurance would only cover half of it. Not his fault, but added to the less than stellar experience.

The office staff was pleasant, and so was Dr. Binstock. He gave me a Rx right away, but I felt a little rushed- maybe because it was the end of the day ?

Although the wait time was a bit longer than I hoped, the visit was great. He was efficient in conducting his examination and prescribed some medication.

This review is based on a very short first checkup. Dr. Binstock asked about my history, my family's history. He checked me over, pointed out a few moles, very quickly excised one for a biopsy, and left me to get dressed.
I have never been to a dermatologist, but relative to other doctors I've had, Dr. Binstock was polite and very efficient. The mole removal stung a little but was over quickly. There wasn't a lot of waiting for the appointment or chit chat once it finished. Overall Jefferey came across as a seasoned veteran and I'll definitely be a regular patient.

I was in and out in a very short amount of time. Dr. Binstock was very knowledgeable about a skin condition I was experiencing and was diagnosed right on the spot. Doing much better now. So thankful for this doctor!
