Dr Robert Arthur Woodbury

Best dermatologist in the area.

I moved to another state, however, I still pay out-of-pocket when I am in Connecticut because Dr. Woodbury is hands-down the best dermatologist I have ever been a patient of. He is an exemplary physician.

I have been a patient of Dr. Woodbury’s for several years. He has always been very professional and has always answered all of my questions. Dr. Woodbury is straight forward and very knowledgeable. I would recommend him without hesitation. I appreciate that he takes time to explain his findings and how to proceed forward based on them. Every time I go to his office, the visit is fast; very little waiting time. I will continue to go to Dr. Woodbury .

Dr Woodbury is an excellent dermatologist. He was the only dermatologist to correctly diagnose biting bedbugs from our college student's apartment. All the dermatologists at Mass General got it wrong. There were continuous attacks by the bedbugs every night until Dr. Woodbury's diagnosis during a visit home from Boston enabled us to get rid of the bed bugs by complaining to the building, which had had the building inspected for bedbugs and incorrectly told us they were gone. I go to Dr. Woodbury for a chronic skin condition, and he has always helped me greatly. His treatments are effective. My prior doctors at major academic medical centers in New York City did not do as well treating the skin condition. I used to have to wear double clothing to cover the blood from scratching when I went to them. No more of this with Dr. Woodbury's treatment. Now I get creams and periodic injections from Dr. Woodbury, which treat the condition much better. Our family goes to him too… and is pleased with the results. Dr. Woodbury is highly recommended.

Dr. Woodbury treated me with Minocycline for 1-2 years and directly caused me to be stricken with DRUG INDUCED LUPUS, which is a systemic auto-immune disorder. When I notified Woodbury of my diagnosis and the terrible health conditions that resulted form the LUPUS he informed me that he had caused the same condition to 3 other patients in the past, but only offered the fact that this was rare as some consolation. Minocycline is a top 10 drug for causing drug induced Lupus. It took months of doctors visits and blood labs with my GP before I eventually got a rheumatologist who could diagnose me. I am incredibly grateful to Dr. Danehower for helping me treat this condition. All told, I will be taking drugs for over a year to treat the Lupus, but it is expected to go away entirely. At no point did Dr. Woodbury order blood labs for me despite the known elevated risks during prolonged use. The systemic drug induced Lupus caused Liver function problems, swelling in my feet, knees,… ankles, legs. It caused debilitating stiffness in my knees, and hands to the point I could not use my right hand. It caused my eye to throb and swell shut. Walking was strained and exercise was out of the question in the months until I was diagnosed. The whole Drug induced Lupus process of identifying the problem required dozens of trips to doctors and blood labs. My blood labs and liver function returned to normal almost immediately after stopping the minocylcine that Woodbury personally prescribed and signed off on the individual refills every time. Woodbury is a danger to his patients. He never adjusted his practice after injuring his other patients with Drug Induced Lupus and therefore I was injured by his refusal to order blood labs to protect his patients. DO NOT CONSIDER DOCTOR ROBERT WOODBURY when looking for a Dermatologist. He also takes zero responsibility for the damage his patients suffer. My deductible of $6,000 has been maxed for the year. Choosing Dr. Woodbury as your dermatologist may be a lot more costly than you realize. Look elsewhere. #WORSTDOCTORIEVERHAD Please consider Henry Gasiorowski, MD Lynne M Haven PC NicholsMD Dr. Julia Sabetta, MD Connors Richard C MD

Dr. Woodbury's staff got me in the same day I called. He took my insurance. His secretary said he begins every day at 6AM and even has Saturday appointments. He removed a skin cancer and my wife can't believe how well the site has healed. She is sending all her friends to him now.

Removed two small cysts and left me with horrible scars. Go to a cosmetic dermatologist for any procedures. You may regret it if you use Dr. Woodbury. I sure did.

The staff here is extremely rude and self centered. The woman who checks patients in and makes appointments has no emotions whatsoever and seems bothered by anyone that tries to speak to her. Dr. Woodbury is a great doctor and am happy with what he has done for me. His practice would be much better if he had a completely different staff.

While you can always get an appointment and he is always on time, beware using Dr. Woodbury for anything other than a routine skin check or rash. Do not allow him to perform any cutting on your body, as he is not skilled with a scalpel or with stitching. He removed a cyst from my back (which I later found out could have been drained instead of cutting, but he never presented me with that option) and told me I would have "a couple stitches" and "a small scar line." 10 stitches (including internal stitches because he cut me so deeply) and a long, bumpy 3 inch scar later, I am hoping to help others avoid the mistake I made. Dr. Woodbury did not give me all of the information necessary to make a good medical decision and he misrepresented what the surgery would entail and what the repercussions would be. I hear he is an excellent doctor for checking for melanomas and such, but based on my experience, he is not to be trusted with surgeries.
