Dermatologists who are Physicians - Princeton, NJ

"This is my experience with bringing my son to Dr. Goldberg's office. He is a first-time patient and I did extensive research on the Aetna website before meeting him. His reviews are outdated and this is my current experience. 1. My son had an appointment with Dr. Goldberg, and a young assistant offered that Dr. Goldberg is busy now and instead suggested that we see another doctor. I said NO and added that we would wait because I make an appointment with Dr, Goldberg after I do some research about him, not the substitute Doctor. 2. Dr. Goldberg did a visual screen from across a table. He did not even bother to exam up close my son's skin condition. 3. After a few minutes, Dr. Goldberg recommended using a "spray water" (NOT covered by the insurance) and a pad with medicine (covered by the insurance). He never explained what is in the recommended "spray water" or "medicine pads" that he prescribed. 4. We also made a follow-up appointment. The receptionist asked "do you want to buy the "spray water"? By this time, neither the doctor nor the receptionist explained what are the ingredients. When I replied that I don't know the size and the cost of the spray water, can I at least see it first, she made an impatient gesture and, then place the "spray water" on the table. It is a 2 oz bottle of "spray water", it cost me $31.99 and it is not covered by insurance. 5. After I walk out of the office, I feel like I just went to a retail store that sells spray water, and not seeing a doctor for medical care because the doctor never closely examined my son and never took the time to explain what the prescribed medicine consists of? He never asked if my son has any possible allergic interactions with other drugs that my son may be taking. I came to a dermatologist after consulting with my son's family doctor. After the visit, I felt like this doctor is really interested in performing cosmetic surgery with bigger profit, and does not care about my son's acne issues."

"Staff was so rude when I called to make the appointment, specifically Karen. She was not helpful at all and it seems like every question I asked was a burden. I was so unhappy, I ended up cancelling the appointment because I didn't want to deal with rude staff when I went into the office. "

"I whole heartily give my strongest recommendation to Dr. Poblete for the help she has given me. I have been seeing her for over 5 years now and she is always busy but available when I need her. Dr. Poblete got my extreme hand Psoriasis under control in less than a year. She did what over 7 years, many specialists and $100K were not able to do. I was suffering from extreme Hand Psoriasis with almost constant painful flare ups and breakouts that caused me to wear nitrile gloves most of the time because of them bleeding. She knew how to treat my condition better than another noted Dermatologist that has written two books that was never able to get it under control. Dr. Poblete knew why I could not use a biologic and why other previously prescribed drugs had not worked. She prescribed 1 at first that worked better than the other previous treatments had but was not strong enough but was still not able to control it fully. She changed me to another medication which which for me has been a miracle drug. She was able to argue with the insurance company and get them to cover the cost of it and it has been a game changer. I never realized what it was like until recently to not have Bleeding Painful hands and fingers. Now the only breakouts I have occur when I am exposed to TCE, which happens occasionally as I work on Environmental Remediation projects. I am a human TCE detector almost, Fortunately these rare breakouts are able to be controlled is days not years anymore. If I could jsut get my employer to not send me to TCE site I would have it made, unfortunately I have to make work to be able to eat so that is not going to happen. "

"I never received service due to the fact the receptionist who answered the phone was extremely rude and sarcastic when I asked simple questions because I had never been to this office before and she hung up on me so I was no longer interested in visiting this office."

"Excellent, thorough, explains everything very well "

"Was trying to be a new patient, but left the office without being seen. They wanted a 2nd credit card in addition to my HSA credit card. No thanks, you're not controlling my payments unless its through my HSA, I don't care what your policy is. "
