North Jersey Dermatology Center

Listen I absolutely hate dermatologists and have a very low tolerance for being made to wait and not being given the time of day. I have seen Sara Petro and Dr Tass multiple times. I have only waited in the lobby at most 10 minutes each time I've gone, and I'm going in the afternoon when you expect them to be backed up. Sara Petro makes her visits quick, yes, but she is effective and communicates well. Dr Tass was the first to finally diagnose me with HS and started the process for getting me medication. They have both answered any and all questions I had, worked with me about medication costs, and have good bedside manner. 4 stars because communicating with the front office is a bit of a nightmare, as is any medical office nowadays unfortunately.

Dr. Gold sold the practice about a year ago. The doctor there now, Dr. Tassavor is very good, however he does not have anything to do with the ownership of the practice. He is knowledgeable and has a good bedside manner. That being said he is very rushed for time. I spent one hour in the waiting room while they ran my insurance. You can no longer make any direct phone calls to the office, you will be directed to a phone center that is obviously out of the country. I was a patient of Dr Gold for over ten years and they could not find my file until I physically went into the office. The entire staff that worked for Dr. Gold have all quit due to the extraordinary poor management. If you want to be treated like a person I recommend looking elsewhere. It’s a damn shame.

I have been seeing Dr.Gold for a little over 3 years now and he has been the only doctor to help me so far with my psoriasis and eczema. Dr. Gold took one look at my feet and was able to tell me that I had eczema as opposed to my other dermatologist who made me go through a biopsy just for it to come back inconclusive and told me to do another one. I immediately went to see Dr. Gold and he helped me, he prescribed me the proper medication. Ever since then I have been able to control my eczema and psoriasis thanks to his wonderful advice. As you can see in the photo I posted my eczema on my feet improved drastically once I saw Dr. Jonathan Gold. Dr. Gold truly does care for all of his patients. The staff in the office is always so helpful and they try to get me in there if it is an urgent matter. Thank you!

DO NOT GO HERE. Worst experience in a doctor's office I've ever had. Waited for an hour in the waiting room, then an hour in the exam room just to see the NP - I forget her name - for a rushed visit (definitely less than 10 minutes). She took 1 cursory glance at my issue from a mile away, misdiagnosed me, and prescribed an OTC vitamin supplement (which the data indicate does NOTHING). Then I happened to mention a mole that I was mildly concerned about, and when I asked if I really need to take a biopsy, she said deadpan, and I quote, "You could die." Mind you, she hardly looked at it and it had all the obvious characteristics of a benign nevus (which the results corroborated). Come on. Fearmongering to make money off me. Then she proceeded to saw it off leaving a large, ugly scar with half the mole remaining. So unprofessional. Horrible, horrible experience. Did not remotely alleviate my concerns.

I was surprised to read some of the other reviews. I've been seeing Dr. Gold for years and have never had a bad experience. The staff has always been most professional and Dr. Gold has always made the correct diagnoses, prescribed the right course of action, and answered all my questions without hesitation. He isn't much for small talk, and maybe that's what some of these people are missing. Putting that aside, for me, he has been a truly excellent doctor and I would highly recommend him.

Horrible experience coming here!!! First of all Tina is not a doctor. She’s a nurse.. She is rude and unprofessional. My mom was seeing her for her severe skin condition for many months and she misdiagnosed her… She said she had psoriasis when in reality she does not. (We went elsewhere for a second opinion) Tina kept playing guessing games with her and switching her medication every time they would not work on her. She also did not know what creams would work for her skin problem. She lacks a lot of knowledge. If my mom didn’t switch dermatologist on time she probably would have ended up killing her with all these guessing games with all these different injections which of course have side effects. Basically my mom wasted her time coming to her for many months. She is not friendly whatsoever, I would ask her a question and she would give me an attitude and will not listen to our concerns. Felt like I was annoying her. Also, She quickly leaves the room and does not answer all your questions. She sees patients only as a dollar sign and does not care about their health. She should get her license revoked!!. The wait time is also terribly long! Please do not come here if you’re looking to go to a dermatologist.

If I could give zero stars I would. My son didn’t even get to see the doctor. I scheduled an appointment gave all his insurance information. I asked the receptionist do you participate with this insurance she stated yes we do very firmly. Only to go in the office give his name and they tell me we don’t take your insurance your the fourth patient they scheduled today with that insurance. It blew my mind how they would tell me this. So they knew other patients had this problem why not check the schedule confirm patients insurance. Why make me waist time/ gas. They have a very incompetent staff. Make sure you triple check if they park with your insurance so they don’t make you waist your time as well.
