Dr. Lyubov Avshalumova, DO

AWFUL, The fact that I have to give them one star is painful as they deserve none!!!!! UNETHICAL AND IMMORAL!!!! An absolute JOKE, the most absurd "medical office" I have ever had to deal with!! Having dealt with neck eczema since childhood, I decided to make an appointment there to get a prescription for a cream that had worked well in the past (unfortunately none of behind the counter cream work for me) . The visit took less than 5 minutes, I didn't expect anything more as I was essentially there to get a new prescription for a cream I was familiar with. I got my prescription, paid for the visit out of pocket and was on my way to the local pharmacy. This is where it gets interesting, 8 months later, being out of town (without cream) and having lots of eczema in the neck area causing major discomfort, I called the dermatologist office asking if they can could maybe call in a prescription to a local pharmacy. After being on hold for almost 30 minutes, The person who finally got… on the phone asked eme when was the last time I had seen the doctor to which I responded last year. She then proceeded to tell me that if it had been over a year, that I would need to come see the doctor to get a new prescription. She pulled up my file which showed that I had been there 8 months ago and claimed that I would need to see the doctor anyways because it had been too long since my last visit. The woman just got done telling me that a doctor visit would be needed if it had been over the year, but when she realized that it was only 8 months decided to make up a story about the fact that she didn't mean a year, but a few months. For a physician to completely change their so called "policy" within the span of 30 seconds, utterly lying to a patient just to get a paid visit out of it is totally disgraceful, immoral, and unacceptable. The most absurd medical experience! There are LOTS of fantastic physicians in Manhattan, stay away from this place!!!!! Following this review, Dr Avshalumova found nothing better to do than creating google pseudonyms to review a business venture I'm involved in. It goes to show you how unprofessional and disturbed this physician is.

The doctor is great.I am so happy with her service...I would recommend this doctor to anyone...its the best

Wonderful doctor with good bedside manner. She spent with me a lot of time examining me and explaining to me about my moles and everything I should do to take care of my skin. I received several samples from her and she was professional and pleasant. Her staff also was courteous and friendly. I would definitely recommend her to my friends and family!

I had a horrible experience with Dr. Avshalumova. She performed a skin biopsy on my face and cut way too deep, despite reassuring me that this would be a simple, superficial procedure with no residual scarring. More than 16 months later, I've spent a great deal of time and money on consultations with other doctors to fix the depressed scar that she left on my face--and I've been told that even with months of laser/microneedling treatment and heavy recovery time, I probably won't be able to fully fix the damage that has been done. I would never let her near me with a scalpel again.
