I've never encountered such rude staff in my life. Their cold demeanor was evident from the moment I walked into the office. After handing them a paper with the tracking number to my referral (which I was told by my insurance would suffice), one of the nastier staff members rudely handed me back the paper and said with unecessary attitude that the paper I gave was not an actual referral. I then asked a few questions as to why it was not acceptable after I was told by my insurance that it was. Immediately she got even nastier and proceeded to embarass me in front of the entire waiting room by saying (and I quote), "This insurance sucks, goodluck getting through to them." The staff offered no helpful tips about how to go about getting the actual referral and made it more than obvious that they did not care. Considering I was there for a very alarming mole on my face, I was extremely dissapointed that I could not see the doctor and their attitudes only made it worse. This office is in desperate need of a new staff that knows how to be professional, compassionate, and leave their trashy attitudes at home. Please save yourself the aggravation and do not go here.

Visited 3 times and haven't seen a doctor once, and with every visit I've waited almost an hour to be seen by a PA for less than 10 minutes. Now I understand that they're busy but I was rushed out to see an empty waiting room. So what was the rush? Also, I'm no professional but if I'm being prescribed a serious medication with severe side effects I'd wanna see an actual doctor. To top it all off I was told I can't even start the medication for 2 months, so I'm left with no treatment whatsoever for my skin condition. I leave this dermatologist continuing to suffer and permanently scar. Best dermatologist for sure.

Dr. McCormack is a doll. She is brilliant, kind, caring and very compassionate. I have been going to her for almost 5 years now on a regular basis. The staff couldn't be nicer. I am always greeted warmly and with a smile. The P.A.'s all know their stuff and are also warm and compassionate. I feel Dr. McCormack chose her staff wisely. When I wanted a certain medicine her staff went very, very far on my behalf to get insurance approval.
There usually is no wait, sometimes there is a small wait if there are emergencies.

There are 2 things I look for in a Doctor; one is knowledge of their specialty (which she has hands down over any dermatologist on Staten Island) and two that the doctor listens to the patient. From my first visit where I objected to a treatment Dr. McCormack asked me why I objected. She heard me and told me we would explore every other avenue of treatment before we revisit biologics. This is exactly what she has done for me. I feel like she is family and always want to give her a hug when I see her.

I highly, highly recommend Dr. McCormack as the best dermatologist on Staten Island.

Seems like there is a lot more time by the staff defending the negative comments here than what should be used to help patients. Rude, arrogant and uncaring practice. Never again.

Great place, best place ever, he changed my life. Seriously I was given some medicine for acne and it was all gone like 2months later and now I still take it to prevent further acne and it works perfectly.

- Reading the other views they said there was a long wait, I have never experienced this it has always been very quick
