Lawrence S Moy, MD

Very thorough and nice to deal with, and if both efficient and friendly. I have had skin cancer related checkups and I never wait long in the waiting room, and Dr. Moy is professional and his staff is friendly.

Avoid going to Dr. Moy unless you have a skin rash or acne. For anything aesthetic he will ruin your face. Not only will you wait at least 30 – 40 minutes in the waiting room each visit you will then have to wait again once you are in a surgical room. He uses products that are not approved by the FDA for the face and then you are left trying to find another Dr. who can reverse the damage.

I am with Doctor Moy now since quite a couple of years. He is an amazing Doctor and very knowledgeable. He also takes his time and listens to your concerns. His staff is nice and friendly and I always like to come back. Nice Job! Keep it up.

He has been my skin doctor since about 40 years ago once he was an apprenticeship celebrity Dr Murad. He has be great taking care and he also practices with my own family. We are all happy with him!

The staff in this office has come a long way in the past few years! I believe they are all new since about 2 – 3 years ago. The office has been re-​modeled too! The staff is very friendly, and Dr Moy keeps on time! I love Dr Moy’s conservative approach and he won’t push you to do any cosmetic procedures. Very knowledgeable too! Keep up the good work!

Had to wait for about 15 minutes, not unreasonable. Young nurse very professional. Dr. Moy explained everything. I had a small spot removed, with absolutely no pain. My wife and I have been going to Dr. Moy for many years and have very pleased.

5 stars for dr Moy. Zero For his staff. Over booked appointments so be prepared to wait a significant amount of time for your 15 minute appointment. They chit chat incessantly about their personal lives that they confuse patient files etc. they are rude and petty. Considering you spend more time in the waiting room vs with the dr, they should be better behaved.

I had extremely bad experience in this office. I came for skin exam. Was not offered any gown, had to wait for doctor for 1,5 hours. The worst part: he performed biopsy on one of my suspicious mole: was asked to provide phone number and wait 1,5 weeks. 3 weeks later, never heard from anyone. Called office, nobody returned a call. Will be filing official complaint against this office. People with any other issues then botox injections: stay away! There are decent dermatologists around. This office is mismanaged all around.

Dr. Moy is a kind man and a great doctor. I’d recommend him to friends, family, complete strangers, Unilocalers, anyone. I can’t really say it any stronger than that.

I wasted my time trying to reach this office multiple times. The office number never gets picked up by a person but an answer machine. I left a message saying I’d like to make an appointment but never received a call back. Will never consider this dr. As my dermatologist.

Dr. Moy is great. I came in with a bald spot on my head I thought was due to a cyst and my medical doctor was unable to diagnose/​cure. He knew the root of the problem immediately and prescribed a series of injections into the scalp as treatment that fixed the problem in less time than anticipated.
He is a very intelligent, well-​spoken doctor and a sheer pleasure to be around. A good sense of humor too! I will definitely recommend him to my friends. I had another question about a separate condition and instead of shoving it off and making me come back, he gave me some samples for it and they really helped. Thumbs up.

Dr Moy was downright amazing. I came in for a bump on my back with the hopes that I could get an opinion and schedule a time to have it taken off. He immediately recognized it and told me what it was. He checked his schedule and told me he could get it off right then and there. 5 or so painless minutes later, all done. Both he and the nurse were pleasant, nice, and great at what they were doing. If it ended there, I’d probably have given it a 5 star.
But get this, that night he gave me a call and sent a text asking how I was doing… It’s 2012, he must not have gotten the memo that everything is impersonal and everyone’s supposed to be treated like cattle.

I have been seeing Dr. Moy for several years and he is as good as it gets. He has very friendly staff. I see him for skin/​mole checkups. He spends a lot of time with you and never makes you feel like he is rushing.

My wife has been in to see Dr. Moy many times and has always spoke very highly of him. I decided to go in myself because I am in the sun a lot and wanted to be checked out for any suspicious marks or sun damage. Dr. Moy found a few spots, sent them to the lab and everything was fine. He is very friendly and knowledgeable and I highly recommend him.

I visited Dr. Moy about 2 years ago as he was VERY highly recommended. I had a mole on my leg that was suspicious, he removed it and it came back as a Melanoma. He did the procedure to remove the melanoma from my leg. It was a very large incision which that is what I would expect. Fast forward 6 months later, I noticed a suspicious spot on my scar where he had removed the melanoma. I went in to see him, he wasn’t going to remove it but after pressure from me he did. My husband called and was highly concerned that there was something wrong, Dr. Moy assured him that after taking it out he was 100% certain it was NOT another Melanoma. 2 weeks later I get a call from him telling that the pathology report had come back and it was NOT melanoma but a pre-​cancerous mark on my leg that he should remove. I was a bit suspicious so had his team send me all of my records. I noticed in the pathology report that the spot came back initially as a melanoma, and then a second pathology report came in an hour later saying it was not. I called the staff and was informed that it did come back as melanoma but after a phone call to the pathologist from Dr. Moy it was overturned. Right there was a HUGE red flag. I ended up getting all my labs sent to the University of Michigan (leading melanoma clinic) and went to Ann Arbor to get a second opinion. After meeting with 6 different amazing doctors they said it was 100% a melanoma and needed to be removed immediately. It also turned out that the entire scar was filled with Melanoma. Luckily it was removed and everything came back clear. Had I gone back into Dr. Moy he would have only removed a small margin around the spot and not the entire scar which was apparently all Melanoma as well I may not be here typing this. Everyone I have talked to said this was a definite act of incompetence on Dr. Moy’s part. I am sure he is great for Botox and other cosmetic related dermatology needs, though if it is something more serious PLEASE steer clear and go to a professional.

Dr. Moy is very knowledgeable and professional. I appreciate his conservative treatment. I needed a small mole removed and he took the time to educate me as to all of my treatment options. His staff is very friendly and very helpful.

I have been a patient of Dr. Moy since my move to the Southbay more than 12 years ago. He has always exhibited a great bedside manner, is patient and eager to answer questions (what is this spot on my skin?!) and takes as much time as needed. My favorite scenario was when he was removing a suspect skin lesion from my 10 year old’s face. He distracted my son with a handheld movie viewer and the results were remarkable. My son was completely at ease and the procedure went seamlessly. Dr. Moy is knowledgeable in many different aspects of medicine, including general health and how it applies to dermatology and usually will engage in some new cutting-​edge topic. I don’t see him often, but when I do — I have a very positive experience. One of the best in the Southbay!

C.K.- you put it perfectly! My family has consistantly had the same experience over the past several years.
However, no one seems to have mentioned the horrible office staff! An average wait time is 1 hour past your appointment. If you call with a question, expect to be placed on hold for 15 minutes before they bother to pick up and start the call. And the women are often rude and too caught up in their personal conversations to tend to the patients.
We have fianlly have enough and will stop putting up with the staff for the sake of the doctor. We are finding a new doctor.

Dr. Moy is an great doctor and very nice to talk to.

How could I be the first one to review Dr. Moy? He is very popular in the South Bay. My entire family has seen him (too much time in the sun). I just started seeing him for a cyst that appeared in my hamstring area that got infected. I just got it removed by Dr. Moy. While I wouldn’t go so far as to call the experience pleasant, Dr. Moy got it all removed and it was virtually pain free. It is healing nicely and I’ll be getting the stitches removed soon.
Dr. Moy seems to be more known for his skin care lines and making older faces look younger. You have to book him well in advance. He is a really nice guy too. He’s one of the endangered South Bay Natives, so if you want to meet one of us, give him a try.
