Dr. Wesson is amazing - she is sweet and has the best bedside manner - she is not an alarmist and she is extremely thorough! She has caught so many basal cells for me - and she is an excellent surgeon herself! I cannot recommend her enough! She’s the best!! I trust her 100 percent!

Dale, who answers the phone is horrific!!!! Asked her to have the doctor call me and she never did. She does not want to help the pts who call. She is an uncaring, mean person who really should not being dealing with pts or anyone. She needs to be replaced.

I met Dr. Wesson at my first appointment in her office in Great Neck. Such a lovely doctor. Easy to speak with, she listened and she was very professional, courteous and well knowledge of what I was there for. I have recommended her and her associate Dr. Brisman to all my friends. A very comfortable experience. The staff is above and beyond. So friendly and courteous. I will never go to another dermatologist accept Wesson Dermatology.

I had to wait months to see Dr. Wesson, but she was worth it. She is thorough and caring. She also has a beautifully light touch with her cosmetics. I could not recommend her any higher.

I scheduled an appt. on a holiday 2 months in advance & was assured twice that she was working. Two weeks before this appt, it was cancelled & her office staff didn't even give me the option of a preferred day--they booked appts & disregarded that I made this appt way in advance. I work & therefore taking days off is not as easy as someone who doesn't.

Dr Wesson took the time to listen to the entire medical history of my problem and also answered all of my questions regarding the possible causes and treatment. I would highly recommend her to anyone!
