Hershel Dobkin, MD

Went in with my 15yo son for recent acne. He walked in, peered at his skin for about 10 seconds, and right away pushed oral invasive known-acne treatment, starts with A. When I pushed back, he was offended. Scolded me that my son already has acne scarring (not) and I would be hindering his appearance for life. We insisted on antibiotic and topical. 3 months later my son’s skin is completely clear and we go for our follow up. He lectures us again that these results aren’t going to last and now wants to put him on M (diabetes drug !). Never bothered to ask ANY questions… my son is a competitive athlete who does not need to go on a diabetes drug, which could cause all kinds of problems. This doctor is nothing but a pill-pusher. Your visit will last 10 minutes and you will walk out with a prescription for an invasive treatment. Good luck with any actual medical care and attention.
