    Today I went to see Dr. Dubin and am very thankful to him. He listened to my questions, carefully addressed each one. Clearly explained his observations and exactly what I needed to do to receive relief of the persistent psoriasis I have lived with for many years. He helped me to know my options and make an informed choice. He guided me about what to expect from the medications and when to return for follow-up unless I had complications. Thank you, Dr. Dubin for your sensitive, caring, and kind interaction with me. I will definitely recommend you to my friends and family.

    The building, staff and schedule were absolutely on point, however that is were the good stuff ends. I will echo the other sentiments here: no bedside minor, zero empathy, did not listen to what I said, was condescending and completely unhelpful. I feel no better about my condition after my visit. Dr. Dubin spent all of 7 minutes with me and couldn't have gotten out of the room fast enough. He actually left the room while saying goodbye. He was already out the door and down the hall when I said, "Nice to meet you." Hearing him reply as he scurried away was hilarious. I was asked to come back in 10 days for a follow up, which certainly won't be happening as I'll just find someone else. From the overwhelming negative online reviews, I'm guessing this guy has more 1 and done visits than repeat patients. I decided to give him the benefit of the doubt which was a waste time/money.

    Wish I had read these reviews before seeing this guy. I agree with all the one star ratings where they say he is arrogant, sarcastic, condescending and an A hole! I have a dark mole and being a veteran, my VA sent me to see him. I made a note of a few other dark moles and when I was asked to get undressed, I was hopeful everything would be looked at. Dr. Clown walks in without knocking, wouldn't even look at all my concerns even though I was in my underwear, talks to me like a child, exclaims to wear sunscreen and leaves the room. After waiting so long to get an appointment, I have zero questions answered and have to go back to the VA to find someone else. Don't waste your time with this guy.

    I'm a teen that suffers from mild acne. I will say that Dr. Dubin's office staff is very pleasant for the most part.

    I really have an issue with Dr. Dubin. He doesn't take well to questions. I inquired about alternative treatments and he shut me down saying that they don't make sense. OK sure, I was just wondering. No need to be dismissive about it.

    His bedside manner is piss poor like others have mentioned. At one point in our conversation he spoke in a childish voice and asked "what would you like to do, doctor?" The nerve of this guy!

    Before going to see Dr. Dubin, I was very aware of the plethora of negative ratings about him on websites such as this. I am very happy to say, however, that these poor reviews couldn't have been less accurate. Dr. Dubin was friendly, attentive, knowledgeable, and accurate when dealing with/diagnosing my rash. His office staff was pleasant, and got me right in to see him with minimal wait. All in all, my experience at Dr. Dubin's office was nothing but positive. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to my friends and loved ones. Thanks doc!

    Dr Dubin is the worst dermatologist that I have seen. He is rude, impatient and doesn't want to exam your skin symptom. It is a waste of time and money going to him but he's not helpful.

    Dr. Dubin is very disrespectful and rude. He has absolutely no bedside manner, makes no attempt to answer questions. He makes condesending comments. I would never recommend him to anyone, especially people who are looking or a dermatologist for their child.
