I felt that Dr. Avery was not empathetic towards the fears and concerns I expressed to undergo this procedure. This was my very first experience and I did the research prior to making the appt. He appeared to be in a rush to get to the next patient. I did not even get a follow up call from the office to check on my reaction to the procedure. Ironically, This procedure was just a waste of my money. I t appears the procedure did not work for me, it was never explained to me that this could occur.

My 5 yr old grandson had to have a growth removed and screamed and cried and we were ready to just leave when Dr. Avery came in the room and captured his fear, spoke with him and convinced him of the importance of what he had to do. What a difference Dr. Avery made. Can't thank him enough. Of course needing a dermatologist this week I CHOSE DR. AVERY and his greatness and kindness showed again. I would highly recommend to all!!!

I asked for a consultations with Dr. Avery Kuflik prior to having Mohs surgery. Such an awful experience. He NEVER looked at my face just read off the pathology report. I asked him several questions regarding plastic surgery and his answer was "whether I do it or a plastic surgeon does it you will have a scar". Thanks Doc. Had to wait another 3 weeks to see another Dermatologist that performed the surgery. The kicker, they want to charge me $50 for that so called consultation.

Dr Kuflik performed a procedure on my face under my left eye. If was a sensitive area due to the possibility of deformation of the area. Dr. Kuflik's team took the time to thoroughly explain the procedure to me. The Dr. then also explained in detail how the procedure would go and also the possible circumstances if the cancerous area turned out to be larger than expected. He did not make me feel rushed at all and I felt totally confident in his abilities with the amount of time he spent with me.

For many months I was plague by a skin irritation. I had consulting with (2) other doctors who could not determine the cause or the treatment that was effective. I turned to Dr. Avery Kuflik and in one visit he identified the cause and provided me with a prescription that gave me a swift strong recovery. I would absolutely recommend Dr. Kuflik to anyone in need of a great doctor.
Thank you Dr. Kuflik from the bottom of my heart for your excellent professional care.
Sincerely, C. Turco

I have been seen by Dr. Kuflik for over a year now. He is extremely knowledgeable! He has diagnosed my family members, and I have referred my friends to him as well. He has ALWAYS been spot on! He takes the time to explain procedures, and made sure that I am comfortably with what is going on. I would highly recommend him!

Would not recommend.
No eye contact during appointment and interrupts the patient continuously. Very condensending. I suggest he returns to school for further education in his field. There is more to dermatology other than skin moles. He is lacking education regardless of the fancy hangings on the wall.

I am a patient at Dr. Kuflik's office, and the care that I have received there has been excellent. His staff is always professional and courteous. I have always been informed of everything that is happening and I feel confident in the skill of his entire staff, especially his Physician's Assistants. There is a very short wait time to be seen, and his office is immaculate. That is important to me. I would recommend his practice and I will continue to come all the way from Staten Island.

Every visit with Dr. Avery Kuflik is consistent. I've had surgery with him and other smaller treatments, and the results of his work always amaze me: No discomfort, and later no scar.
Effective and polite to a fault, Dr. Kuflik is brilliant, gentle and welcoming. He elevates dermatology to an art.

I am super nervous about medical procedures and he was very friendly and calming. He did a surgery on my upper thigh and just kept my mind off the surgery and kept me pre occupied.
