“Incredibly courteous staff and Dr. Cymerman was very nice and knowledgeable. Sometimes I feel like doctors have a clock running from the second they enter the room until they leave the room again but she was giving of her time and very willing to listen to what I had to say. I didn’t feel rushed at all and I truly appreciated that.”

Front desk girl was super helpful and friendly. The Dr knew what my issue was right away, medications were sent to pharmacy, easy peasy. Everyone here was very friendly.
June 4, 2024Patrick R.Verified patient
Very nice office and Dr. Cymmerman was very nice. The medical assistants could have been friendlier, already an awkward experience when needing to get undressed it would help if they weren’t so visibly annoyed at being there with you. The MA’s are quick to shove a camera in your face to say they need a picture for your chart without the choice of opting out.

Best dermatologist I’ve ever seen. She was patient, extremely knowledgeable, and laid out all of my options very clearly. My appointment did not feel rushed at all and I was seen right away. 10/10 would recommend!!!!
November 22, 2023Steven C.Verified patient
I’ve been to a long list of dermatologists over the course of my life and Dr. Cymerman is by far the best. She actually took the time to listen to my concerns when others haven’t. She immediately recognized that I have a scarring type of hair loss and that I needed a biopsy. I credit her with saving my hair. She is kind, compassionate and took the time to talk things through with me. I never felt rushed. The office is clean and I was seen at my exact appointment time. Highly recommend for all of your dermatological needs!

Very modern and clean office. I was seen on time and reception staff was very friendly along with medical assistant . I found physician super informative, and proactive in dealing with my issue so I was able to get a resolution. Practitioner listened, and made sure all my skin issues were addressed. And I was comfortable during a quick office procedure which I appreciated.

Rachel was an amazing doctor, the entire appointment was super efficient and helpful. The staff was friendly, the location was super clean and nice. I will definitely go back to Rachel!
August 17, 2023Sonali N.Verified patient
The experience is very clunky for new patients-- between Zocdoc sending you a form and then them sending you a form asking for ID & insurance information, it was pretty annoying considering that I STILL had to sign more forms before I was allowed to see the doctor. Know that you need to sign a HIPAA form, which isn't emailed or sent to you through Zocdoc, or the initial patient portal sign up stuff they send you. Overall a very confusing process to do online.
Outside of the clunky first signup forms, the doctor was very kind and immediately prescribed me a topical cream that has saved my skin. If you have the patience to navigate the multi-form-ID/insurance dance, it is worth it!
