Fishman Charles B MD Inc.

I have never been seen by Dr Fishman but I don’t think I would want to — Gary Westbrock (PA) has been fantastic at answering every question /​concern and giving me a good idea of side effects and setting my expectations well. Best derm in town for sure!

I came to this practice because of the great things I had heard about it. Little did I know that I was going to be seeing Gary Westbrock, PA! I wish I had read a recent review on here that basically mirrored my experience before my visit to this office. Gary spent no more than five minutes with me before deciding what treatment was necessary for me. He prescribed medication without even discussing side effects and quickly decided to perform a surgery that has left a very unwanted scar. My appointment felt extremely rushed possibly because I was his last patient of the day.

I went to Dr Fishman’s office because of a very good Unilocal review. When I called Dr Fishman was not taking new patients. The receptionist said I could see Mr Westbrock, Dr Fishman’s PA. Big mistake!
First when I got there the receptionists were snooty and rude. Then when I met with Mr Westbrock he looked at my skin for about 5 seconds and then immediately began diagnosing and prescribing medicine with out even discussing with me all my concerns I had mentioned to the nurse. He gave me prescriptions without discussing what I believe to be pertinent information (after doing my own research at home).
Also he is not friendly, kind, warm or caring seeming. I felt completely uncomfortable talking with him. He doesn’t look you in the face when he talks to you, which to me is very strange. I’ve never had an experience like this at a doctors office. Long story short, before I do anything he recommended I’m going to see someone else. And I would never return to this office because of the unfriendly staff. There is more to treating patients than throwing around prescriptions.
I’m sure Dr Fishman is a fine dermatologist but he needs a new staff.

I have some of the worst skin you could imagine. Rosacea (persistent redness on my cheeks, nose, and chin), and Acne. My skin really bothers me, and I felt pretty helpless before seeing Dr. Fishman.
I’ve seen several dermatologists, and none of them really gave me the help I needed. I’ve had expensive laser treatments pushed on me, unnecessary medications, and just about everything else you could imagine.
I feel extremely comfortable under Dr. Fishman’s care. I feel like I’m finally headed in the right direction. He doesn’t push treatments on me that he doesn’t think will work. He’s honest, and really seems like he cares about me.
The staff is very friendly, and the wait time is minimal. Every time I call here with a question, it’s answered promptly. I’ve called several times with questions about my treatment, and I’ve ALWAYS gotten help right away or had a call back the same day.
I cannot praise Dr. Fishman and his staff enough, thank you guys so much for sticking with me!
