Verified patient
Very small waiting room. Felt like we were all bunched together in a small space. Was taken to the room after about 20 minutes but did not see the Doctor for another 15 minutes.The doctor came in and apologized for the delay stating they had an office emergency earlier. I understood the delay and was happy she acknowledged it. The nurse thought I was there for acne. I was there for a consult. Nurse was nice and Doctor was also. I did not have enough time to address all my dermatology issues but that was okay. The doctor felt there were 3 spots that needed treatment. One to biopsy and 2 to freeze initially. I will return in a month and if they still need treatment, I will have it done then. I did not want to have my records transferred at this time. I’d prefer to wait a while before I do that.
Verified patient
Dr. Boshnick was a great listener, explained what she was doing as she went, was very thorough and answered my questions. The nurse assisting and front desk were very personable. I would definitely recommend her.
Dr. Boshnick was amazing. Comforting, knowledgeable, thorough, answered every question I had and explained my concerns in detail.
Verified patient
I may go back 1 more time for my fallow up, but might cancel it. The doctor talked so fast I mostly have no idea what she said. She also didn't bother to ask if I had any questions before running out the door to the next patient leaving me with a min with nurse before being wisked out. I didn't even have time to put my sweater back on. Also the pharmacy only got half of my prescription.
Verified patient
Fantastic and quick
Verified patient
This was such a quick but thorough appoint for a full body check. I am so glad I made the appointment and grateful for how easy it was to schedule and share all my documents beforehand so there was nothing to do but see the doctor when I arrived.
Verified patient
Best doctor experience ever. Went above and beyond. Diagnosed and treated same day plus a full unsolicited body scan with value added recommendations!
Verified patient
Waste of time. Didn't get to see the doctor until 45 mins after my appointment time. Doctor rushed the appointment and couldn't be bothered to answer/address my questions and didn't consider my situation important. Her final response was to just say live with it and give samples for topicals they sell, instead of discussing prescription medicine options that could help.
Great

I felt she did a great job
Verified patient
Doctor was 10 mins late, called the office was told I was next. Fine. Waited another 35 minutes and nothing. Had to hang up without seeing the doctor. I booked a video visit because I did not want to waste time and that’s all I got. I wonder how happy they would be waiting 45 minutes for a patient.
Verified patientVideo visit
I am so glad I was able to get an appointment so quickly via Zocdoc, but I was slightly disappointed with the amount time I had to wait to see the doctor. As far as the appointment went, Dr. Boshnick was extremely personable and thorough with the exam, and she gave great skincare advice. I just had a few more questions and felt a bit rushed. I sent the questions I felt I didn't have time to ask to the staff, and am currently awaiting answers. The office itself was gorgeous and the location was convenient for me.
Verified patient
Pleasant demeanor. Willing to listen patiently and didn’t feel rushed at all with the appointment. Didn’t push for any unnecessary cosmetic treatments.
Great experience overall.
It was a very kindly experience. Yes, it was a bit late. I have never had any provider apologize for being late! Doctor described my “spots” tied to wisdom. What a great idea! Vs. “age” spots. Though I shared they are “sun kisses”. No body shaming. No up selling. Very professional.
Verified patient
Excellent doctor, compassionate and attentive. Explained everything and did not rush through the visit. I highly recommend Dr. Boshnick.
Verified patient
I’ve heard great things about Dr. Boshnick and she seems kind. Unfortunately I felt rushed through my appointment and my questions did not seem to be considered at the level I would want. It is disappointing to pay hundreds for an appointment and feel like you’re getting rushed out. My appointment lasted all of 10min. Otherwise the office was clean and they took me on time.
Everything from the moment I arrived was great. Front desk, PA with triage and doctor Boshnick was very personable, listened to my history and issue for my visit. She was very knowledgeable and answered all my questions and concerns. She came up with a treatment plan and assured me that I could follow up if treatment wasn't working over two weeks time and I was told to follow up in 3 weeks. Based on my initial experience, I would highly recommend Dr. Boshnick.
