Huntington Dermatology Group

Originally wanted to see Dr. Chan but was told she’s not taking new patients/she performs more procedures these days. I scheduled an appointment with Dr. Vaccaro for scalp/hair concerns and left entirely unimpressed. Huntington Dermatology is on the 4th floor of the hospital and it’s easy to get lost so just follow the signs. Budget extra time to find street parking if you don’t want to pay for the hospital lot (they don’t validate). The waiting room was stuffy. Facility seems outdated but clean enough. All the staff I interacted with was brusque and busy. The appointment came and went - I love paying $150 for a 10 minute conversation. US healthcare, baby! Even then, I felt like Dr. Vaccaro was addressing the bare minimum and wanted me out of the exam room as soon as possible. I went for

I came here because my friend highly recommended Dr Chan for a mole removal. I called them initially and she was booked many months ahead, initially she was not available until May, then when I called back a month later she wasn't available until August. I decided to proceed with a Nurse Practitioner to schedule a first consultation. I had a quick appointment that lasted about 10 minutes. She didn't tell me anything new, she said she would consult with Dr Chan and then they would give me a call back on how to best proceed. I waited for a month, no call followed. Then I called them back and I've been told that I was advised to come for follow up appointments every 3-6 months and that it is only for the consultation (again), that would not even be the actual procedure. And when I asked abo

If you’ve wasted your time at a med spa come here for a truly knowledgeable staff for all your skin care concerns. You really get your value for the nominally more you might pay. A doctor actually looking at your skin prior to procedures and available at the time of treatment in case the nurse practitioner has any questions for them.

I don’t like showing up here because that usually means there’s something wrong with me. I’ve gone for a few relatively minor issues. When I do go, I go to Dr Vagaro(Vaccaro?). I trust his judgment/work and I don’t think he minds the loaded questions im prepared to ask. It’s usually a quick appointment, but he gets the job done. My latest visit I was charged less than the initial range they quoted me over the phone, though no procedure was done that day and was only prescribed meds. Either way, it’s appreciated. The front desk was decent towards me, so I guess I caught them on a good day, per everyone’s reviews. Would recommend! Oh and there’s a new financing option available for those of us poor folk (on medical ), which is nice.

Asked them 3 times if my insurance was covered on my visit, and they said yes all 3 times. 2 weeks later I get hit with a $370 charge and the explanation I got was "you were supposed to check if you were covered or not" - which I did 3 times. Their billing department is never there and you can't leave them a message. The doctor that prescribed my meds were never sent to the pharmacy. This place only caters to the ultra rich, and they will shoulder shrug anyone who isn't looking for a face full of botox. Steer clear of this place.
