Schweiger Dermatology Group - Grassy Sprain

My son was rushed through an exam that lasted barely 10 minutes for a simple skin issue, and then I was hit with a billing code 99203 charge of $390. That’s almost four times higher than the 2026 Medicare rate of "around $100–120" per encounter, and it feels incredibly unfair for such a quick, straightforward visit. I’m now stuck fighting this bill after the fact, because no one ever warned me what this "simple" appointment would cost, and that lack of transparency has turned a minor medical concern into a stressful financial ordeal. I wouldn’t wish this experience on anyone—avoid.

This review was a must! What can I possibly say about the Yonkers location of Schweiger Dermatology Group that isn’t already shown through the convenience of location (central to anywhere you can come from in either the Bronx or Westchester), plenty of on-site parking, an elevator building (suitable for the needs of anyone), and the welcoming front desk staff at the neatly kept waiting area? Get the picture? The medical secretaries at this location are always ready for check-ins and helpful with any questions or concerns. I suffer with health conditions that require the attention of a demonologist on a routine basis. I have been treated at this location for skin conditions by Megan Li, PA-C that were addressed in a way I found thorough and knowledgeable. I have had medical procedures done that have left me with the most minimal of evidence thanks to Gregory Polar, D.O.'s skillful hand. I’ve been to many dermatologist offices since first being diagnosed back in 2010, but none have been as equipped with such wonderful staff and availability of treatment by knowledgeable providers as what I found here at Schweiger Dermatology Group of Yonkers. Let’s get to why I JUST HAD TO WRITE A REVIEW. I decided a long time ago that when the time comes in my 30s and I see the first sign of wrinkles, I would get Botox. Lucky for me, my demonology office also has this available… I booked an appointment with Christopher Palines, PA-C, and at my consultation I knew I made the right choice. Christopher did an excellent job, and I am more than satisfied with my results. Big shout-out to Christopher for a job more than well done. The provider educated me on what to expect and helped me to better understand what to expect and hope for from this type of procedure. The procedure itselfwas painless; all I felt was a little pinch. My follow-up went very well, and Christopher told me what to expect for a possible (likely) future treatment.

Im basing my review off of my first visit @ Schweiger. Patient booking was easy, checking was quick (5 min wait time), VERY clean modern office with good music, front desk girls were nice. I saw Kelsey Brennan for mild cystic acne and scalp issues. She and her assistant were thorough and so informative, I had to write most things down afterwards lol. She took her time with me and prescribed me 4 low dose medications/shampoos/topical to start with and see if my conditions improve. All 4 of my prescriptions are coming to me (free 1 day delivery) from The Apothecary at Columbus Circle. I’m looking forward to my next visit with Kelsey next month!

It was very easy to make an appointment, It went exactly how it said it was gonna go and the timing of it all made it easy and perfect right from couch. Nicole D. Was the O.M. (Office Manager) who I spoke with first and was 100% Perfection. She made it all happen for me to see the NP. Now the NP Priscilla Villavicencio, A dermatologist at the Shweiger group was amazing, beautiful smart, respectful, and very knowledgeable. She was a good listener and let me speak, and then she would respond with intelligence and help it make Sense to me. She was so good after the appointment in my head even though it’s way easier virtual from my couch, if I am still having issues and would need more help I am going in-person. Last note, the prescriptions needed to help my issue were sent right away and I was able to pick it up within hours of the same day. 1000% recommended and like I said it’s not only virtual they offered in-person as well with lots of other options for skin care. Unlike other doctors, she said she would like to see me first before saying she would wanna do any facial treatment and that to me just means she cares about people in general and her patients more then anything else! Thank you for the help 🙏 Daniel R

Dr. Polar was great. He listened to my history & answered all my questions. No pressure, just good listening & advice.

I typically have had a great experience with a couple of the physicians that I’ve seen in the Yonkers locations, but within the last couple of months alone I’ve had several cancellations and today I’ve sat here since 12:23 for a 12:20 appointment and still have yet to be seen at 1:11pm.
