Dermatologist Queens Village - Dermatologist Jamaica Queens - Dr. Jordan S. Zuckerman, MD

This is my second review because I cannot find out how to edit my prior review. Dr. Zuckerman is a qualfied and knowledgeable doctor. There are issues in the wait time but he said they are addressing those issues and hopefully it will get better.

This place works more like assembly line factory then a Doctor office. They scheduled too many people at the same time which makes the wait time very long and time with the Dr very short. My experience with this office was that they are more concern about making money then the patient well being. I was diagnosed with Basel Cell Carcinoma (BCC) on my foot and Squamous Cell Carcinoma (SCC) on the top of my head and was scheduled for 2 separate appointment to removed them with the Moh procedure. I asked to remove them both on the same day but Dr. Z said that he cannot do it because that will increase the chance of infection. I later had a second opinion by another Dr and was told that whenever you open skin there is a risk for infection but it is THE SAME RISK whether you do it on the same day or on 2 different days. When I asked why a physician will scheduled 2 appointment I was told that this way he can charge twice instead of once. Few months later I felt another bump on my head right at the location of the first bump and was diagnosed again with SCC. Dr Z wanted me to have another Moh procedure which is invasive and doesn't promise that another SCC will pop up. After going to another Dr. a skin cancer specialist, for second opinion I was put me on a Topical Cream -Fluorouracil which clear me completely. When I asked Dr Z. why didn't he offered me this option, which is not invasive and can treat a wider area, he said that this cream is not approved by the FDA which my second DR said is not true. Clearly the second option was much more effective and MUCH MUCH cheaper but that will generate less income to the Dr.

I went there 2 times for treatment and it didn't work. I've had the same treatment all over the country by a half dozen other physicians at least and never had a problem. Also my appointments were at 4 but I wasn't even seen until after 5. I've read many other reviews and they all have the same experiences. Why would I keep making appointmentsure for treatment when they don't work? That's like giving them time and money for nothing!

I went in with a concern over losing my eyebrow hair and was met with a team that was ready to match my concern with proper and sufficient care. Dr Z and his staff took me in as quick as possible and worked with me by asking me questions and examining the area of hair loss until a proper diagnosis was made. After I was diagnosed with alopecia areata, Dr Z gave me the best methods to treating my skin condition. When he gave me shots in the infected area I felt little to no pain!!! It was truly an amazing experience. The office manager Nina also gave me free samples of the creams I am supposed to put so I can have some time to go to the pharmacy and get my prescription in. Truly an amazing office with an amazing staff and dermatologist.

I've seen Dr. Zuckerman for help with various skin problems for the last two years. He is extremely knowledgeable, very friendly, and really takes his time to make sure all my questions are answered. His office staff is also very helpful and friendly. I recently tried Botox with Dr. Zuckerman for the first time, and the results I got were amazing! I am so pleased. Would recommend him highly!
