Dermatologists who are Physicians - Newark, NJ

"I have been to this Dr. multiple time and hoping that it was just a fluke... but the 3rd time i waited over 80 mins for my appt - I'm done. He packs his schedule and when you try and discuss with him in his office he hurries you along.. Yes he gives you his cell phone number.. .but i don't need that .. i need not wait almost 2 hours. "

"I hardly write reviews but there needs to be a call out of physicians who do not prioritize prevention and have terrible bedside. I had genuine questions about a new mole, changes in skin and hair. She was dismissive, very rude and rushed the conversation. She then explained that her attitude was because she felt that my concerns were cosmetic and not medical. How am I supposed to know that my concerns were not medical? The mole could be cancerous for what I know. She shouldn’t be speaking to patients this way. She will discourage individuals from using health care when they need it and with this attitude her patients have/will acquire preventable diseases while under her purview. This visit was fully charged to my insurance as it should be. But she was bitter about it because she would have rather charged me out of pocket for a cosmetic consult. I or anyone else should not be expected to know the difference. Her greediness is and will come in the way for what she pledges under the Hippocratic oath. Please don’t go to her if you are looking for someone who truly cares for their patient. "

"As a doctor myself, I am very disappointed with my whole patient experience!! First off, when I called to make the appointment with Dr. Chang Bea Son, I was told I was not going to be seen by him. Then I wondered why my insurance, Aetna, would list him as a dermatologist to be chosen? Second, I was told my appointment was at 1:10pm. I arrived to the health center at 1pm and at 1:30pm I was still waiting to be seen. I asked the front desk staff about my appointment time, I also mentioned I arrived earlier and that I needed to go to work soon. Ten minutes later, 1:40pm, I was called to have my appointment. Third, the health care practitioner that saw me was a nice female. I asked her medical questions about my needs and she answered them, politely. However, she didn't introduce herself. I don't know who she was, what kind of doctor or specialist she was. Forth, I told the office staff (a female) that I had waited for 30 min to get my appointment and that I was not happy about it. She gave me a weird/annoyed look and told me to go talk to the front staff because that was not her problem. Frankly, this medical appointment was a medial disappointment. Not patient-centric at all. The whole staff acted like they have a "monopoly" and patients just have to suck it up! Nobody apologized for Dr. Son not being in the office to see me or for making waste 30 min. But if a patient is late 5-10min that persons misses their appointment. Now these people will charge my insurance and myself for a poor service instead of a great service that created benefit for me. This is one of the reasons we hear Healthcare in the US is broken!! I feel for patients that don't have medical knowledge to confront their HCPs and have to be stuck with poor service. The worst part, is that both my insurance and the HCP will read my review but neither will care about it!"

"The worst dermatologist ever. I would have given less than 1 star if that’s doable. Literally he didn’t even checked/ talked what issue I have with my skin and gave some random pigmentation creme which I could have bought myself without his consultation. I entered his office at 4:30 pm and was done till 4:35 pm, so you can imagine what consultation he would have given me in like 3 min. Do not, I repeat do not go to him for any skin issues."
