Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

I have been a patient of Dr. Herszenson for 34 years. I developed chronic acne, including facial cysts when I was 30 years old, I never had acne as a teen, Dr. H treated and solved my urgent acne condition and he helped me develop a successful prevention and maintenance routine that continues to work today. Dr. H has safely removed hundreds of moles from my body. I have consistently recommended friends and family to Dr. H,, unfortunately he is retiring at the end 2017, he will be missed. .

I chose Dr. Herszenson for a second opinion on some facial skin keratosis. All in all I found him very helpful. My only complaint would be the wait time. I was not able to see him until 45 minutes after my scheduled time.

I've been seeing Dr. Herszenson for over 15 yrs. I find him to be a good listener, able to diagnose my skin problems , and arrive at medical options in a straight forward way. I've had Basal Cell Cancer for over 30 years and Dr. H. helps me keep it in check. Years back I encouraged my Mother to see him about some skin problems.

October 3, 2017 Today was my last visit with Dr Herszenson as he is retiring the end of December I have been his patient for many years and enjoyed our relationship. Very knowledgeable, personable, efficient, and always conveyed a sincere interest in my concerns. He has earned retirement, and I wish him all the best.

  • "Dr. Herszenson is a very good dermatologist. He is friendly, courteous, and always takes time to understand what my problem is. He offers options for treatment and follow up. I have never had a bad experience with him."

  • "I have been going to Dr. Herszenson for many years, and always enjoy seeing this doctor. Dr. Herszenson has a very friendly and easy-going manner. My dermatological case is not complicated and I see Dr. H only once a year. Dr. Herszenson is a very pleasant MD, and the office staff and assistants are as well."

  • "Mr. Herszenson and his staff are superb. Upon phone call I was given an appointment to correct my issue within 24hrs. While there I was whisked into the examination room as soon as I put the clipboard down from filling out my information. His assistant was very knowledgeable and directly got to work prepping me to take care of the issue as needed. Mr. Herszenson explained what he was going to do, performed the work, and had me out of there in 30 min or so. I am completely satisfied with the experience, as well as I am with the very reasonable rate for the work performed."
