**My Rating: (1/5)** I will absolutely never be returning to this practice. My recent visit to The Dermatology Specialists (Greenwich Village location) was a masterclass in disorganization, disrespect for a patient's time, and a shocking lack of transparency. The nightmare started before I even walked through the door. I placed over 9 separate phone calls to this office trying to speak with a manager about my upcoming visit. I was completely ignored and didn't get a single callback until the day right before my appointment. When I arrived for my visit, the disrespect for my time continued--I was left sitting in the waiting room for an agonizing 1.5 hours before finally being called to the back. I explicitly booked my appointment under the expectation that I would be treated by Dr. Cary for my procedures. Instead, I was passed around with zero transparency: 1. An individual walked in and performed my first procedure. I naturally assumed this was the attending physician I booked. It was only AFTER the treatment was already completed that I was casually informed this person was actually a resident. Failing to disclose that a resident is treating you BEFORE doing it is a massive breach of trust and patient consent. 2. Next, Dr. Peranteau walked in to handle the remaining treatment. He didn't bother to introduce himself upon entering. Instead of focusing on my care, he immediately started complaining to me about administrative issues, explaining that because of how the procedures were scheduled, it would make their billing and insurance paperwork "difficult." Let me be entirely clear: your internal billing paperwork is a back-office problem, not mine. It is wildly inappropriate to complain about insurance coding to a paying patient sitting in an exam room--especially one you just kept waiting for 90 minutes. When I voiced my frustration, Dr. Peranteau dismissively told me the procedure was "straightforward." It might be routine to him, but it is MY body and MY physical comfort on the line. I chose this practice trusting I would get professional, coordinated care. Instead, I was ignored on the phone, ignored in the waiting room for an hour and a half, passed off to an undisclosed resident, and treated like an insurance headache by a dismissive doctor. Save your time, your money, and your sanity, and take your care needs literally anywhere else.

This was a most pleasant medical visit!! Even after having to reschedule twice, the staff was very accommodating. I was warmly greeted & the intake process was quick & paper free. The waiting room was beautifully decorated as well as the sliding doors on the exam rooms. The clinical staff was so nice! They were very professional & thorough without being stiff or unapproachable. They addressed all my questions & concerns. Looking forward to us working together to keep my skin healthy
