Schweiger Dermatology Group - Sheepshead Bay

I came to this office to treat what Christie told me was sebaceous hyperplasia between my eyes. She treated it several times with cautery but after it became red and irritated, I went to another dermatologist (from the same practice, just a different location) who confirmed it was actually a mole — something that should never have been treated that way. And because it was treated that way, it could now be permanently red and inflamed. But what made this whole situation worse was Christie’smedical assistant, who was unbelievably rude, dismissive, and gaslighting. When I called the office, (first of all It’s impossible to get through to the office. You have to get through a call center and wait on hold for 30 minutes and then eventually you get a representative who says the office will call you back) Christie’s assistant just insulted my face saying it had too many problems, acted like I was stupid for questioning them, and tried to convince me they didn’t "cauterize the mole," even though I watched and felt it happen. Like then did it zap itself then? I actually ended up crying after that call — when you already feel self-conscious about your skin, having someone in a medical office insult you and talk down to you like that is humiliating. It was one of the most unprofessional and hurtful experiences I’ve ever had in a medical setting. I would never recommend this office to anyone who values respect, honesty, or proper care. Or anyone who cares about their skin. Christie’s assistant is truly rude, I don’t know why she has a job in healthcare

I strongly advise anyone with HSA insurance to avoid Dr. Dennis Porto. Unlike most dermatologists, his office charges not only for the procedure but also for the time you spend in the office — and the rate is an unbelievable $940 per hour. Even a short visit can turn into a shockingly high bill. If you’re an HSA holder looking to manage costs, stay far away from this practice.

Easy to schedule an appointment in a super clean facility with a helpful front desk. Professional care and advice, methodical and thorough consultation intended to find out causes and solutions. A pleasure to meet the team of NP Christie DiPietrantonio whom I fully recommend. Great care and follow up. Thank you!

This is a nice office. I saw the NP Christie for cosmetic injections. She was extremely professional and knowledgeable with great bedside manner. Highly recommend.

Friendly staff, highly professional approach. Appointment was held ln timely manner, no waiting. Absolutely positive feedback for the company.

The staff was very friendly. Didn't have to wait long. Elchanan the PA was very knowledgeable. He got to the root of my problem and recommended the treatment that was best, for me. I was so pleased with the outcome that I referred my neighbor Jr.Bishop.

3/2024 Update: Provider Vays was amazing. I am little anxious about needles (there for a mole removal) and it was nearly painless. Quick and she was kind, gentle, respectful of my comfort (i.e. uncovering skin/body parts). She quickly and clearly addressed each of my concerns and provided me with follow-up instructions and recommended medications/cream for prevention too. My only less than 5-star comment would be that compared to a year+ ago some of the interior of the office was a little worn/dirty looking. I'm not sure if it was actually dirty or just marked up, but that doesn't give a super clean vibe, which I do think is very important for any medical space (esp when you have a procedure). Otherwise a stellar visit! And front desk was helpful (though not very talkative) and efficient. -- Very pleased with my experience here. Clean, easy to book appointments (Zoc Doc), central office is easy to contact and follow-up. The PA "on duty" is very friendly & knowledgeable. (Apparently the MD who was at this location had moved.) I had a biopsy from my scalp, it was quick & healed nicely. The lab took over two weeks to get back (but that wasn't to do with the Derma). But the Derma made his educated guess & ultimately the meds he prescribed helped with my symptoms with in 3days and resolved completely in 2weeks. The nurses are thorough & ask questions and take photos of any concern areas. I even asked the PA to take a quick look at a new beauty mark on my arm. The PA wasn't concerned, but the nurse took a photo and took notes just in case. I also brought my 4year old and they were quick & efficient. Not a long wait time.
