Ligresti Dermatology Associates

I was quite pleased with my first visit to Dr Ligresti. I was prepared for a waiting room hell with an hours wait, but was called in on time with totally minimal paperwork. Dr Ligresti is extremely cordial and no nonsense; just freezes off the questionable moles and you are out the door. Very friendly and businesslike — no bs. Nice, cheerful facilities.

I’ve been to this office almost a dozen times now, and let me be frank — these guys are hacks. They are trying to run a high-​volume business (with poor customer service) rather than a doctor’s office. They are there to make money in as little time as possible, not to provide quality health care. Sekiya practically (and one time literally) has one foot out the door when he meets with you, and he tries to be done with you in under 2 minutes, and is usually successful in doing so, which results in extremely inadequate care. Ligresti is not much better in this regard, and frankly, I don’t know how people understand him with the way he mumbles. I can’t give these people any more money, regardless of how convenient the location is for me (it’s the only reason I kept going back, foolish I know). If you still decide to go after reading this review, be sure not to make an early morning appointment. They rarely show up on time.

My first question is. What happened to this place!?!
I was recommended here a few years back by my chiropractor. Ive known them for over 10 years and are close with them outside the office as well so I take what they tell me as good advice always.
Well 2 years ago, this place was great. Since then the staff there is super rude, short, and extremely attitude prone. They also do not listen well and hang up on you quickly before your finished speaking. Oh and that happened not once but anytime I called. Prices for self pay also seems to vary depending who you speak with.
Most importantly I was clear I wanted to see Dr. Ligresti. Well instead I dealt with Dr. Sekiya. Seemed like a nice guy but didnt listen to why I was there and gave me something I did not need. Good job doc. Best part is when I called back he acted like he had no time for me. I get it your busy but was itbecause I had you feeling stupid cause of me tellung you that you paid no attention to why I was there in the first place. But we all are and at the end of the day. We are also the ones paying you.
So learn to take more time.
I then spoke to my chiropractor about it since they referred me and ironically had mentioned they heard similar stories of how this place had gone down hill recently.
With that being said Dr. Ligresti is a great dermatologist. But his staff is horrible and the new doctors he has hired dont pay attention to well.
Since then I have found a new dermatologist closer to me who was well worth the extra money as I received both the proper treatment as well as an ear that was there to listen to my concerns.
You guys need to pull it together. We all know Bellville NJ sucks but seriously a little less attitude might not hurt. Smh.

I needed a new dermatologist after my insurance changed and found Dr. Ligresti. The doctor is a nice guy, talked to me like a person and didn’t rush me through any questions I had. Seems any time I go to the doctor they want to get on to the next person so I appreciated him taking the time. The office is clean, staff is always works with my schedule and the doc seems to know how to treat whatever I have at the time without a lot of back and forth visits. I’ve been to the office a few times at this point and am always satisfied.

I have been going to Doctor Ligresti’s office since December of 2012, I have fond the staff to be courtesy and helpful when making appointments. I have managed to see both doctors and have walked away treated and taken care of both times. Dr. Sekiya is great :) anyone you choose to make an appointment with will take care of you. I suggest that if you are limited on time then make an apointment first thing after lunch, i have found that it was a shorter wait time.

Both times i went i had to wait over an hour past my appointment time, even thought i arrived before i was scheduled.
I was also told over the phone that I needed to come in for test results, even though there were no results when I arrived. They charged me for the consult anyway.
