It was great.
Verified patient
It was a very fast appointment. I felt he did a thorough body check. Both the Doctor and assistant were very professional & polite. However, he did not do a good job of explaining what was found and how to manage aftercare/follow up info. He was also very curt when asking about general aging questions. I guess it goes into a different insurance category or something, but he never even gave an option of continuing conversation. I felt overwhelmingly rushed and unprepared for aftercare.
I’m very happy. Great bedside manner, saw my face and immediately said of you can take Antibiotics and that will clear up immediately. Called in my RX with no issues. I was in snd out right away.
Verified patient
Had a couple of moles surgically removed, and the procedure left some pretty ugly scarring. The sutures and wound closure was not done in a good manner, and I'm left with some pretty bad scars. Will not go back.
nice guy. smart guy. explained the reason for my condition in a way that I understood -- didn't just give me a diagnosis and walk out of the room.
Verified patient
Dr. Ciocon was extremely friendly, helpful, and professional. He was a little quick with me, but his staff was warm and welcoming enough that I didn't mind.
Dr. Ciocon is like a breath of fresh air! I've seen several dermatologists in the past few years, and none have been as sincere and caring. He had several appointments going on around the same time, but he took the time to sit and get to know me, my background, and my challenges. He listened so intently and, instead of just spouting off his prescription right away, he worked through it with me to find a regimen that I felt comfortable with. Then he even typed out the instructions and gave me a print out so I couldn't mess it up! Just when I thought it couldn't get any better, he spent a while longer with me answering my request for recommendations on products and cosmetics that I haven't found favorites of yet. (And it doesn't hurt that the office is 100 yards from Sephora). All in all, great appointment. I've never felt so satisfied and hopeful leaving a derm office before. :)
Friendly and sociable doctor. Wait time, however, is a different story. Wouldn't be surprised if they double booked. Never have had an appointment start on time despite always arriving early or at least on time. In addition, similar to other reviewers, he probably spent less than 10 minutes with me vs the 30+ that I waited. Bottom line? I would probably recommend him just purely for the fact that he's a nice and friendly doctor but if you're looking for someone who will spend more time with you, perhaps look elsewhere.
Helpful and informative we will see! Dr. David it was refreshing to meet a dermatologist that could lead to future improvement!
Very pleased.
Verified patient
Overall good experience. Was a quick visit.
I was late for my appointment by 20 minutes so i can not blame them for not taking me in right away.The Doctor was very professional and was very nice. He answered all my questions and even when the exam was done and he was walking out the door, I asked him for some more of his time for some questions and he sat back down without hesitation and gave me his full attention Office staff was very helpfully. If you have ever been to a dermatologist you should know its usually at 5-10 min. exam. I have been to many dermatologists and its the same across the board. Don't be discouraged by this. Have all your questions memorized so at least you don't get home and say "Dam I forgot to ask the doctor..............."
Very professional, knowledgeable and informative.
Very clean and professional office. Dr. Ciocon was very personable and listened carefully to my list of ailments. I will definitely continue to see him.

A great experience. I am a juvenile diabetic for 28 years. I have seen a lot of doctors and Dr. Ciocon is one of the best doctors I have seen in a long time!!!
He was very nice and quite thorough did an annual skin cancer exam first time with this practice. Also had them do some Botox.

We weren't able to solve my issue but he was very kind and attentive. His staff was very personable. The office is clean and welcoming.
As always my experience with Dr Ciocon and his staff was outstanding. I was taken in with in 5 mins of arriving. The staff was friendly and professional. Dr Ciocon took his time with and listened to my concerns and then addressed each one. I continue to go to Dr Ciocon because he very simply is the best!
Verified patient
Dr. Ciocon was very friendly and professional! He spent ample time with me during my visit, and was even willing to look up other doctor referrals for me after my appointment. The waiting room and examination room was clean and comfortable, and the wait time was minimal. I would definitely recommend Dr. Ciocon!
