I saw Dr Schlesinger for a crazy rash on my shoulder and side that came out every few weeks. The Dr figured out that it was caused by a medicine a i took every now and then. I didn't even need a biopsy. he was very kind and took a lot of time to listen. The office staff were also excellent. It has been 3 months since my visit and the rash has not returned. I am very pleased.

I recently went to see Dr. Schlesinger after a walking buddy noticed something on my face.
Dr. Schlesinger removed the spot and it turned out to be nothing,
I am very happy with this doctor. I will return to him when required.

I love seeing this doctor, and his staff make me so comfortable. He has helped me and my family with various skin conditions from skin cancers to psoriasis, He is extremely empathetic, a quality that is so hard to find in doctors these days. Dr Schlesinger is a real, old fashion type of doctor who still cares. I and my family are very lucky to be able to call on him at any time.

I have been a patient of Dr. Ira Schlesinger in Delray Beach, FL for many years and have always been so happy with his care and knowledge of our largest organ, the skin. The staff is very friendly and the doctor is always very happy to see me. He takes the time to answer any questions I might have and does not rush through the appointment. I have recommended many of my friends to his office and thay too love him. H.G.S.

I would not recommend this doctor to anyone and will not be going back. I have seen a dermatologist for over 20 years and just moved so I had to change doctors. I came in for a skin check for my moles and he did not do a thorough exam at all. Just a quick scan of my arms and back. He said he normally biopsies 4 moles each visit so I agreed. Then he said all needed to be removed completely. I had them removed completely and after 6 weeks they still haven't healed and I have holes in my shoulder. Not happy at all.

Yes, this doctor is accepting new patients

Biography

I BEGAN MY MEDICAL TRAINING IN PSYCHIATRY AT MT. SINAI/BETH ISRAEL AND THEN MIGRATED TO AND COMPLETED A FULL RESIDENCY AND BOARD CERTIFICATION IN INTERNAL MEDICINE AT GREENWICH/YALE UNIVERSITY. I THEN CONTINUED TO UNFOLD MY DREAM BY STUDYING AND RECIEVING MY BOARD CERTIFICATION IN DERMATOLOGY AT THE PRESTIGIOUS GULF SOUTH INSTITUTE FOR MEDICAL AND SURGICAL DERMATOLOGY IN NEW ORLEANS. IT DIDNT TAKE LONG FOR ME TO FURTHER UNFOLD MY INTERESTS AND DESIRES IN DERMATOLOGY BY PURSUING FELLOWSHIP TRAINING IN DERMATOLOGIC SURGERY AND SKIN CANCER AND RECIEVING BOARD CERTIFICATION IN THAT SUBSPECIALTY FIELD BY THE DERMATOLOGIC SURGERY DIVISION OF THE AMERICAN BOARD OF COSMETIC SURGERY. IT HAS BEEN MY ABSOLUTE PLEASURE,OVER THE PAST 25 YEARS, TO HAVE THE VAST ARRAY OF TRAINING, KNOWLEDGE, AND EXPERIENCE WHICH ENABLES ME TO TREAT THE FULL PATIENT. ALL PATIENTS WITH DERMATOLOGIC CONDITIONS, IN MY OPINION, REQUIRE A "MORE THAN SKIN DEEP" APPROACH. MY PSYCHIATRY, INTERNAL MEDICINE, AND SURGICAL TRAINING ALL ENABLE ME TO PROVIDE THE HIGHEST QUALITY OF DERMATOLOGICAL CARE. SINCERELY, IRA SCHLESINGER, M.D.,P.A
