Rachel Nazarian, MD

First off, anyone that has anything negative to say about Dr. Nazarian on this site, probably did not give her the opportunity to fix/​discuss what you are complaining about. I see 12 dermatologists per weekday, and Dr. Nazarian is one of the kindest, most caring physicians I have met. So, if you have anything negative to say, I would suggest attempting to contact her directly, as I am sure that she would insure the best service, and most satisfaction out of any patient she sees! Now for my personal review:
Dr. Nazarian is truly one in a million. I am one of her representatives and I visit her monthly to bring her samples and information from my company. Every time that I am there she takes the time to always ask how I am doing and genuinely cares how I am actually doing. I got married in a October and had some minor skin issues during my visit to Dr. Nazarian, a week before my wedding. She immediately sprung into action to help my skin to be perfect for my wedding day and for this I will forever be grateful. She is not just any other dermatologist, she is answering a calling from some other realm to help people feel good in their own skin. She will boost your confidence on every visit and answer every question honestly with superb advice. Any patient would be lucky to call her their own!!! I just cannot say enough great things about her!

She BURNED my skin and left me with horrible SCARS, right on my nose! She is the WORST dermatologist I have been to in my whole life! I went to see Dr. Rachel Nazarian to get a laser treatment remove broken capillaries from around my nose and she burned my skin, I went back to her 2 weeks later and she did nothing for me, she no even admitted she had burned me, all she said as that I had a «skin reaction». Which is an excuse she probably uses when she does those kind of malpractice because I had the same laser treatment done 2 years prior with another doctor and the results were amazing. I asked the office for my money back and they did give it me, but that does as little as nothing to me that have to live with these horrible scars for the rest of my life! Even with make up I can clearly see them!

Dr. Nazarian has a wonderful bedside manner and is really kind and understanding (especially in situations that can be uncomfortable like talking about skin issues!) I made a last minute appointment after having an allergic reaction I couldn’t identify and was gratified when her office was able to squeeze me in at the end of the day. Dr. Nazarian was able to offer a clear diagnosis and course of treatment within a few minutes of my seeing her and she was incredibly gracious and thorough. I would highly recommend visiting her with any skin questions or issues you may have.

This is my fourth visit to Dr. Nazarian. Even though her office is very busy, she always goes above and beyond to answer my questions, explain my condition and the treatment plan. She is knowledgeable and has great bedside manner. I trust her and would definitely recommend her to a family member or friend.

Went again… and she is STILL AMAZING!!!
I travel so long to see this doctor and she is so worth it! She spent so much time with me and really was so patient with every question I had! She is truly amazing.

Just an update on this situation: Carol from Dr. Nazarian’s office did reach out to me a few days after labor day to offer a free consultation and to help me identify another doctor who would be good for my medical situation. I appreciate the effort from Dr. Nazarian and Carol in trying to improve the bad experience I had previously.

Beware of her front desk!
I’ve been looking for a good doctor for a while and was really excited to get an appointment with Dr. Nazarian. I called a week ahead, booked my appointment and asked several times for the receptionist/​medical assistant who answered to MAKE SURE that they accepted my insurance. She confirmed and then sent me paper work online and I filled it out immediately.
A week later I travel 1.5 hours from Staten Island to go see the doctor and I even arrive early. I get to the front desk and I’m greeted by a cold, older woman who asks for my insurance card. She tells me that THEY DO NOT accept my insurance all of a sudden. Apparently it’s not underwritten by the appropriate party and turned me away with a half hearted apology. Are you kidding me?!
They made me fill the paper work and CONFIRMED that they do accept my insurance a week ago! Honestly, I think she me and made up an excuse not to let me see the doctor. Why didn’t they check my paperwork from a week ago then? The woman who answered the phone actually took my ID number and confirmed. I just felt totally disrespected and I wasted 4 hours getting to and from the city just for a nonexistent appointment.
DO NOT GO HERE unless you want to risk the front desk making up a reason why you can’t see the doctor.

Dr. Nazarian and her staff are WONDERFUL. They are all so friendly and personable. Dr. Narazian herself is very nice and very informative. I really feel like she takes time to explain things thoroughly and answer my questions before I can even think of them. Highly recommended.
