Dr. Nanette B. Silverberg, MD - New York, New York

The front desk receptionists can surely make me go postal! I went in person to make an appointment and the receptionist told me she was really busy and to wait 10 minutes before she can help me make an appointment. I waited for 20 minutes, went up to her and she said she was still too busy. She was just punching things into the computer. I left and called instead to make the appointment, which was what I should have done in the first place because that was quick and easy and I assume was answered by someone other than the front desk.

On appointment day, I go back in and it takes me like 10 minutes to finally tell front desk that I'm here. Then I wait over an hour after my appointment time to be called in and an additional 20 minutes in the exam room before I finally see the doctor.

Dr. Silverberg was very patient and helpful and nice and I loved her, but my experience with the front desk and waiting time make me think it might not be worth the hassle to continue seeing her. I just made a follow-up appointment and I'll decide whether my experience was a one time thing or a regular occurrence.

I attempted to have a follow up visit with Dr. Silverberg on 12/13/2016 and it was a truly horrible experience. After filling out paper work (I already had done..again, this is the follow up appointment), I was left in one of their examination rooms for over a hour hearing other nurses having a blast there at work. I finally left since I had I had to get my job, but it's too clear that I was the only whom this concerned. Today, I called their office to let them know how disrespected I felt and the receptionist took some of my info and puts me on hold just to hang up on me. All of this for some dermatology help? Absolutely unprofessional office with immature staff. I'm never coming back.

It's true, the office staff is not one of NYC's finest and we've definitely experienced disorganization and blasé attitudes. However, we've had better days as well. I imagine some of this unprofessional behavior is because of the organizational flux as Mt. Sinai absorbs Beth Israel. This doesn't excuse bad behavior, of course, but I do think growing pains are at work. BUT, about Dr. Silverberg, we'd heard that she was one of the best and waited a month to become a patient of hers and we're so glad we did. She is wonderful and perfect for my son. She really listens and is wonderfully down to earth. We're really happy to be in her care and recommend her highly!

Dr. Silverberg has no idea what to do with African American skin but yet works for the Color of Skin Center for Mount Sinai. I specifically told her that I'm not here for my face and I am here for my body but proceeded to tell me all the things I could do for my face. She did not explain anything regarding the different treatments for different types of skin. She barely examined my problem areas (arms, back, chest) but she did touch my face which once again was not what I needed. She then said she would prescribe anti-biotics but then completely forgot to do so. She ended the appointment with giving me a BUNCH of samples of products that i can get from ANYWHERE like cetaphil (which i already use) and epiduo. I gained nothing from my appointment and it was a waste of time and money. She might be a good dermatologist, I don't know but she should not be working for the Color of Skin center.

If I could give this doctor a negative review I would. AVOID DR SILVERBERG !! Absolutely terrible experience and doctor. Zero knowledge or care for her patients. Besides the dirty filthy terrible
Office she works out of. Her attitude and medical knowledge is just as bad.

Poor, poor, poor attitude...lazy, lazy, lazy doctor and office...was 5 minutes late one day and they sent me all the way back home to Brooklyn. I had to reschedule and arrange for another appointment. I went to the appointment, she wrote me a prescription, put a little medicine and a bandaid on my foot and then charged me $650 for the visit. This office is lazy and arrogant...do not believe the positive reviews.

Wendi D.

Extremely unattentive and not thorough. Just gave a nonchalant diagnosis, prescribed medication and gave zero information on how to care for my ailment. I got more information from Google. I'm making an appointment with another dermatologist now.

Great demeanor and spends time answering questions. Front desk is very helpful and great with my 3 yr old.
