Dr. Bae is amazing! I always want a natural, lively look when it comes to fillers and Botox and Dr. Bae never disappoints. Also a major plus is that my boyfriend will never find out my secret. I look well rested and vibrant. Love her!

Verified patient
Great office staff, great doctor with excellent bedside manner. Took the time to listen to my concerns and explain treatment plan.
Verified patient
Very bad bedside manner. She yelled at me. It was very unprofessional of her treating patient like that. She didn’t even explain to me in an informative way what cause my skin problems. She made it sounds like it’s patient’s faults and she has to fix it. This was very discouraging seeing her in the future.
Dr. Bae was professional, conducted a thorough evaluation (including consultation with a colleague), and explained treatment options clearly. I ended up having surgery on my initial appointment but felt completely confident and supported regarding the plan. Her credentials are impressive and her bedside manner is excellent.
Verified patient
Dr. Cindy is delightful
Verified patient
She was super nice and fast!
She is fast but very thorough and straight to the point. I like that she suggests follow to visit as needed not to her benefit. She also gives insight as to why she prescribes what she does.
Verified patient
I went to Dr. Bae for a skin screening checkup and found her to be very thorough and knowledgable. The visit seemed slightly rushed, but she was friendly and I appreciated actually being called in early and the doctor being so well organized. She even took care of some questionable skin spots during the examination. As with any doctors visit, good to try to think of questions you might have ahead of time so you can be ready during the visit.
Verified patient
Very nice. She had good bed side manner. She didn't make my appointment feel like a cold doctor's Office since she was friendly and thorough.
Verified patient
Dr. Bae is great! She always answers all of my questions and offers multiple options for me to review. I've been seeing her for over a year and would highly recommend to anyone!
Verified patient
First of all, I want everyone to know I rarely write reviews. But this experience was so AWFUL that I really do not want anyone to fall victim to the same experience I had and felt compelled to provide a warning. I had never received a routine annual skin screening but regretfully at the suggestion of Zocdoc, I made an appointment for a checkup (which in retrospect was extremely foolish) knowing that I have excellent health per notice given by my primary physician and that my family has no history of skin disease. I walked in the day of my appointment and clarified with medical staff whether the checkup would be fully covered by insurance since it was a preventative appointment. They affirmed that this was the case and the way they framed the response made me believe this appointment fell under the realms of a general annual checkup which would be covered by insurance and not count towards my deductible—which ultimately ended being grossly incorrect. I blindly trusted that as healthcare providers, they had called my insurance to verify what they told me and what they told me would be the truth. After filling out paperwork, I was left in the waiting room over 30 minutes past my scheduled appointment time until I was finally escorted to a screening room. My meeting with Dr. Bae was short. She was kind, and this very negative experience has less to do with her but more her staff and back office support. Dr. Bae took a cursory look over my skin and deemed me to have excellent skin after a quick 5 to 10 minute checkup with other nurses in the room. Fast forward one month. Understanding that the short checkup was covered, imagine my shock when I saw an unexpected [VERY LARGE AMOUNT THAT MUST BE REDACTED FOR PURPOSES OF THIS REVIEW] credit card charge on my account. I called to inquire about the charge and after being transferred multiple times by Dr. Bae's staff, I was put on the phone with billing who I had a long conversation with about how my expectations and what I was told did not align with the charge that showed up on my account. The gentleman I spoke with was extremely rude and basically pointed fingers telling me it was my fault for not checking with my policy beforehand. I called back to speak to the office staff, but they were just as unprofessional and I was transferred multiple times by various admins. I was hung up on twice and put on hold for over 20 minutes (I have logs of the calls). I finally had to resort to speaking with Dr. Bae herself since no one was productively listening to or helping with my concerns after being egregiously misled and misinformed. I am still waiting on a response from Dr. Bae who called me back and told me she would try to figure out a solution to my concerns but guaranteed no promises. I appreciate her trying to rectify what happened but it remains yet to be seen if she will act on what she told me. Also important to mention is how she told me that negative reviews on Yelp were a common problem (even though reviews on Zocdoc were glowing which is all I referenced during my due diligence into booking this checkup—which was my mistake). Today I checked the other reviews people wrote and how many had similar experiences. Now I know this was not an isolated incident and sit here wishing I had read all the terrible reviews that this practice gets. I highly recommend you take your healthcare elsewhere unless you want to become another victim of a nontransparent, uncaring and unprofessional practice. It scares me I left my credit card on file with unqualified and incompetent staff who promise one thing and deliver something else and do not even bother to listen to a patient’s qualms when inquiring. Now I am forced to monitor my accounts more carefully in anticipation of future charges without any notice or based on false conceived notions of a “service” that was advertised as being covered by insurance. Please do not make the same mistake as me and avoid the overall headache you are bound to have if you go to Laser & Skin Surgery Center of New York.
She took5 minutes with me after I waited for so long and her suggestion to me when I asked about bags under my eyes was filler then left the room. Worst dermo experience I have ever had.

This was my first apt with Dr. Bae. She was very professional, friendly and thorough. She answered all my questions patiently and made me feel at ease.
Dr. Bae and her staff are incredibly personable, very fast while also being thorough and allowing time for questions, and very professional.
She doesn't seem to care about patient's concern too much. She didn't try to figure out the cause or ask about your history. She does answers all the questions but I feel like she's rushing all the answers and I didn't get more useful information than what I can find on google search.
Dr. Bae was professional and quick in my skin exam. She was very personable, and great at explaining things in laymen's terms. The office was clean and efficient--highly recommend!'

I had a very pleasant visit with Dr. Yoon-Soo. The staff was professional and friendly. It was my first skin cancer screening and it went well. I felt at ease from start to finish. I would highly recommend Dr. Yoon-Soo to all my friends and family.
Verified patient
I thought that she was excellent. Very efficient. Educated me about ABCDE, where I have met various Doctors who fail to educate their patients. She was very honest and could have taken my money to fix a skin problem I had but she said the problem would come back and it would be a waste of money. I will be back for any problems and/or my next annual check up. Oh, and I didn't have to wait more than 5 minutes!
Verified patient
I had to wait about 15 minutes for my appointment, but Dr. Bae made up for the slight wait time in efficiency of my visit. I was in and out of her office in less than 10 minutes for a full body skin check and removal of an unwanted bump. She was incredibly friendly and very thorough.
Verified patient
Very easy going and makes you feel comfortable.

I came to Dr. Bae to check up on my severe rash due to insect bite. She was very professional and the visit was quick and straight to the point. She asked me if I had other dermatology questions and since I did not, we were done in less than 10 minutes. The staff were all very nice and friendly.
Very knowledgeable and took time to explain procedure. Awesome personality and put me totally at ease with the perfect balance of professionalism and friendliness. I would diffenately recommend her to everyone, but don't take up all the appointments, because I will for sure want to make her my permanent Derm!!!
Verified patient
The physician was patient and answered all my questions in great detail. She also has a calming manner and neat presence which is extremely important.

I would highly recommend her!
