Dr. Philip Orbuch, MD

Painful Psoriasis on the side of my foot. He examines me and said firstly we have to see if your insurance will approve injections of a very expensive drug. He prescribed cream and said no follow up appointment till you hear from us after my insurance company gets back to them. Ok. 3 weeks go by and painful scales are now spreading to the bottom of my foot making it more painful to walk. I call my insurance company for status, and they tell me that no request for approval has been submitted yet. I call and speak to two people at front desk who tell me that I have to get the approval myself (I knew they were wrong). I make an appointment with doctor to tell him about the mistakes, but he won't listen to me. He talked his way around the issue and ended up taking a biopsy before he can do anything (not what I was told at first visit. Biopsy done and Dr says "I will call you with the results ". Sure enough three weeks later and no call. I'm now looking for another dermatologist as I don't… think I can call this office again without screaming at them. Stay away from this man.

Awful. Just awful. I will never recommend this doctor to anyone. I took my mom to his office bc my friend recommended him. My mom suffers from hair loss and we thought that he could help her. The waiting time in the waiting area was short and the receptionists and nurses were nice, but that is where the praise ends. The nurse led us into one of the rooms where we ended up waiting for an hr for what turned out to be a 5 min consultation. When he finally came into see her, he didn't even bother examining her scalp or hair; he didn't even put on latex gloves for pretenses. He was very rude and kept interrupting me when I tried to say something or ask a question. He loves to hear himself talk. He was completely of no help. Didnt prescribe anything or give any advise about how to restore her hair. He kept saying that he didn't know the answers to our questions and kept referring us to a hair specialist named Jerry Shapiro who doesn't even take insurance. In short, it was a total waste of… time and money. We left highly disappointed and in utter disbelief that he just sits there and collects people's insurance money. What a fraud! Take my advice, do not waste your time with him.

Office looks like it was renovated last time in the 1950. Dirty old and dark. The office also is not upto date ( not using emails, only fax...) the dr is old and dos not hard about the future. Looks like geriatric office.

The doctor was arrogant and most of the office staff was worse than he was. He refused to renew a prescription via phone and would not give me an appointment until 4 days later ever after I made it clear that I was going into a severe (reoccurring) allergic reaction that I was being treated for (by his office)the last year. He would not get on the phone to discuss it,He refused to allow me to come in the same day to see the outbreak and wouldnt renew the script. Not the way to treat a patient who has been going there for 10 months. I am now having a full reaction with swollen, bleeding, cracking hands and will now need to suffer needlessly until it clears up in 2-3 weeks Thanks Doc. I am currently looking for another office to treat with
