:) Click to report rating *  5/13/09 3 1 5 I had to wait 1 1/2 hours! The appointment took 5 minutes. He's not an alarmist, seemed to know his stuff, was helpful. I would probably try someone else next time because of the wait.

:) Click to report rating *  1/28/09 3 3 3 I guess I was lucky because I didn't have to wait too long, however, I had several skin problems and the doctor was probably in the room with me for about 5 minutes. He was too rushed and couldn't wait to get out the door. Also, when you call for an appointment, they try to get you to see his assistant. I made the appt. with him because I wanted to see a doctor, not an assistant. Also, I had a birth mark removed and was never told that the assistant would be performing the procedure instead of the doctor! Then when I called for my biopsy results, I got a message saying that a nurse would call me back in 24 hours. When the nurse finally called me the next day, she left a message on my answering machine saying that she didn't catch my name. So, I had to call AGAIN the next day and that time I insisted that they have a nurse call me back immediately. I would never go back to that office again.

:| Click to report rating    7/29/08 2 1 3 all the reviews are right. You will be waiting most of the day to be seen. I even had an early morning appointment. As far as his knowledge, he didn't impress me nor did he disappoint. The entire staff was just rude and you can tell they are sick of people complaining about wait times. They were more interested in what they were having for lunch. With my work schedule I can't take a whole day off for a Dr. appointment anymore so I won't be going back.

:) Click to report rating    4/10/08 4 1 5 4 years ago I went to him and it was a horrible experience- I waited forever and he only saw me for 5 minutes He seemed rude. I tried him again recently because he has better treatment options for my psoriasis. My appointment was for 2pm and I did not go in until 3. But he was extremely nice and helpful and gave me his time. He gave me options for my treatment which I didn't have before. Besides the long waiting time, he seems to be a lot more personable now and I would go back despite the wait.

:) Click to report rating    3/21/08 5 5 5 Very nice dr. What my old dr thought was foot fungus turned out to be psoriasis. What the old dr told me dry skin because I didn't drink enough water turned out to be from a disease I have had for quite some time and I had to see an endocrinologist. Thank you Dr. Sapadin. After 6 years of suffering and spreading fungus cream on my feet and living in pain I can finaly walk without going ouch with every step. The cream that I was prescribed worked immediately.

:) Click to report rating    11/13/07 1 1 5 Good, knowledgable doctor. Always able to take care of any problem I've had. Office staff is nasty and unhelpful. The waiting time is unacceptable. I had an appointment and showed up on time. There were 15 people ahead of me. So I left. Had to find a new doctor. Too bad. I liked him, but I don't have hours to wait everytime I need to see him

:) Click to report rating    8/5/07 5 2 5 Wait time was a little long, but instead of trying to clear up my acne with weaker pills like other doctors did to me, he immediately prescribed me accutane at my request and it cleared up instantly. A+

:( Click to report rating    8/5/07 2 1 1 I have had to consistently wait over an hour to see the doctor. The last time that I went he again was overbooked with patients and he said that he couldn't help me. That will be the very last time that I will go to this doctor.

:( Click to report rating    6/13/07 2 1 I had a horrible experience with this doctor and his office. He spoke to me in a very condisending manner and made me feel extremely inferior and uncomfortable. I think this doctor has way too many patients to really care about an individuals condition. NEEDDLESS TO SAY, I'M GOING ELSEWHERE FOR MY TREATMENTS !

:( Click to report rating    12/21/06 1 1 Outrageous wait time! I should send him a bill for my time. He doesn't spend much time with patient after the ridiculous wait. I asked for my son's warts to be froze, he refused. Gave my son a cream for warts even after I told him they do not work on him. The cream brought out an abnormal amount of warts. He removed a skin tag from me, and the implements looked dirty. What a place!

:| Click to report rating    9/30/06 2 2 He barely spends any time with you. I took an appointment at 11:30 and they did not call me to the waiting room until 1:30. Then, he finally came to see me at 2:00 and even after four visits to his office my acne has not cleared. He just popped my pimples which was extremely painful, spent barely a minute with me, wrote me a different prescription which was useless each time I saw him, and left. Do not go to him.

:( Click to report rating    10/5/05 1 1 He was about 2 hours late. He was so backed up with his patients that as soon as he saw me he wanted to get rid of me. Told me he couldn't do nothing for me because it was genetic only perhaps laser surgery would he say I couldn't probably afford! Very unhelpful, would NEVER go back to him.

:) Click to report rating    9/4/05 4 4 I went to him to check out a patch of dry skin. He saw me for all of 30 seconds and was able to diagnose it. From what i've heard, he's extremely knowledgable in his profession but I just wish that he would spend more time with his patients.

:( Click to report rating    7/28/05 2 1 Horrible experience. Dirty office with blood stains where supplies are kept. He punctured an infected and very sore and painful cyst with a needle without any sort of anesthesia, wrote a prescription before he even met with me, left all of my questions to his medical assistant (not nurse), and the only questions he asked me were about my insurance.
