I’ve never had a single issue visiting this doctor or office. There’s no wait time, they text and call to remind you of your appointment and the doctor is amazing! Couldn’t recommend more.

Great experience

Terrible wait time. Waited in the room for over 40 min. Assistant came in to grab something and I didn’t see anyone for another 30 minutes. The doctor did not listen to my concerns she literally looked at me for 5 min. Waste of time. I got more answers on Google for myself with less hassle.

Have a medical appointment coming up end of July.
My appointment was for a skin rash in a very area of my body. I felt very uncomfortable when she looked at my body. She also took the time to answer some other questions not related to my original request. Yes, I will definitely return to this office.
Verified patient

My daughter had a very good visit. The doctor spoke with us and we had a clear conversation. We will go back. Parking is challenging in that area however, there is a parking lot but you have to pay for parking. I don’t like the fee for parking .
Verified patient

Verified patient
Very nice staff, good office.
Waited in the room 30 minutes before anyone came in. Dermatologist Malka was not friendly and was very brief, Did not give any helpful information. Ordered a cream sent it to a pharmacy that isn’t covered by my insurance. I’ve been trying to have it sent to CVS with no response: read on google reviews that she is racist and ironically she commented when I said I was concerned about a bump being cancer because I’m very tanned right now and exposed to the sun a lot. Her response was “well you seem to be naturally darker skinned” comment made me feel uncomfortable and shows her perception is off because I’m not darker than her.
Verified patient
The receptionist was welcoming and was very understanding. I would definitely recommend Malka Niknamfard if you need to see a dermatologist, she was very sweet and was able to help me with my problem.
Verified patient
Great she was perfect

Verified patient

Good
Verified patient
Prompt visit. As a therapist, though, I would expect a bit more empathy for vulnerable patients. But thats what therapists are for... I guess. Clean office, you are in, and you are out!
Verified patient
This was my first time visiting a dermatologist, and it was so exciting. Malka Niknamfard, PA from Schweiger Dermatology Group was a great healthcare/skincare provider, and she was nice and courteous to me. Most importantly, she made that sure the concerns regarding my skin were heard and evaluated and gave me an appropriate prescription. Those who work also worked alongside her were really nice. Plus, the office was really set up nice and very clean, and there was little to no wait time at this office.
I tried not to pay attention to the negative comments here when booking her but they are all right, when I went I had to wait for over half an hour in a cold room after I got checked in for her to see me, and then she was very dismissive, didn’t listen to my concerns nor offer alternative treatments
Great 1st experience
Verified patient
She was very professional. Even though she couldn’t help with my condition she gave me recommendations. I was appreciative of her time.
