NP spent very short amount of time (probably 2-3 minutes), rushing out before I could ask follow up questions. Not worth it.

I have been to see Dr. Gorelick on several occasions for regular screenings and skin issues. I have always been pleased with the treatment I have received, and he is professional, easy to talk with, and sympathetic to my concerns. I would highly recommend Dr. Gorelick.

Joe Gorelick, N.P. Saw me for several skin lesions. He efficiently diagnosed and treated them on the spot. He has a very kind way about him and I trust his judgment and his technical abilities. I was able to be seen promptly. Unlike other Dermatology offices, where the wait time is several months. This put my mind at ease as I was a little concerned about a possible skin cancer.
Verified patient
Joe was friendly and acknowledged my concerns.
Joe is a personable, professional and great practitioner! Been going to him for several years. This visit was the first time I ever had to wait to be seen (25 mins.). The office was busy and seemed a little disorganized.
They didn’t use the prefilled ZocDoc information. So why did they make me fill it out again at the office? Physician Joe himself was great.
Dr. Gorelick was awesome. Very knowledgeable, easy going, didn’t make me feel nervous at all. Took care of everything quickly in one visit. Highly recommended!!!
Joe was great; he was direct, to the point, and he knew exactly what needed to be done for a person with my symptoms. He got me on a plan for recovery and now I'm doing much better.
