Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Not a good experience!
Dr. Dendy Engelman was incredibly rude and hostile during our visit. I tried to explain my skin issues and she cut me off immediately and suggested these overpriced treatments that weren't correct for my skin. The appointment was rushed and terrible. Do not recommend.

Kind of rude
Long wait time, and was rude when I was explaining something on behalf of my underage child. She cut me off and was like she’d rather hear from them. That was my last time there. Left a bad taste in my mouth after that.

Poor Medical Advice
Everything she recommended costs thousands (filler, lasers, etc.) and the only think that I wanted/made a difference/asked for regarding helping my appearance was a simple ($5) prescription which she wouldn’t give me. I had to go to another (not cosmetic focused) dermatologist. Also very rushed.

Horrible doctor! Worst dermatologist in New York City. She told me my acne was stress related (even though I shared I had hormonal stuff), and she misdiagnosed a friend's skin cancer. Stay away from Dr, Engelman.

I had a horrible experience. She told me I need a biopsy and took a shaving of it. This not only scarred me but was absolutely normal. I had it look at by another Dermatologist who said any first year resident would know that it was not close to being suspicious. Is this even ETHICAL?

I had a Fraxel treatment with Dr. Engelman 2 weeks ago and the results are fantastic. Dr. Engelman is a highly skilled physician and instills confidence in her patients. She gave freely of her time to answer all of my questions and did so in a thorough and caring manner. I would highly recommend Dr. Engelman as a dermatologist and especially Fraxel laser.

I recently visited Dr. Engelman for some elective treatments as well as to have a clogged oil gland on my face removed. She was patient and thorough in her examination and explanation my treatment options. The entire process was timely, professional and I would not go anywhere else.

She's the best. Very friendly, attentive, professional, and knowledgeable. She checked my skin for anything potentially suspicious, and then thoroughly explained elective treatment options I asked about. The support staff (PA, I think) followed suit. Front desk staff was businesslike and perhaps could show a bit more warmth.

D.r Engelman is an excellent physician with the perfect blend of expertise and empathy. I have been going to her for three years and have always been treated very well. Dr. Engelman is accessible, which can be rare, especially for someone at the top of her profession. I am quite happy with Dr. Engelman.

Dr. Engelman is the sweetest, most compassionate physician. I wasn't sure what to expect going in to see her. I wanted a doctor I could be honest with regarding my expectations with acne treatment, as well as cosmetic procedures I was interested in. I didn't wait too long in her office and then when I saw her, she was fantastic. She listened to all my concerns and addressed each one. I didn't feel rushed. The cosmetic work she did on me turned out so beautiful and natural. She is a true gem!

I have had multiple skin cancers removed by Dr Engelman. She did an excellent job each and every time. I did get an infection once and she help me clear it up. My incision sites are practically unnoticeable. I have already sent many people to see Dr Engelman and Dr Serure.
