Dr. Nathanson is very thorough in examinations and adept at removing pre-cancerous abnormalities. He communicates well on any needed follow-up. He's also very personable.

I don't recommend this doctor. It was quick to get an appt to his office and now I know why. He schedules multiple people for the same time and bangs them out in 2 minutes each. When I got to his office there was at least 5 other people that came in at the same time. When I left his office, (5 minutes after) nobody was in the lobby. He wouldn't even let me get my words out. He didn't even close the door after entering the room, it was that quick! Needless to say, I still have a skin problem and need to find another dermatologist that will take their time.

The level of trust I have in Dr. Nathanson and his diagnostic abilities is beyond words. He is able to find the problem, explain it is layman's language, and give you the confidence that together you and he will solve it. I have never experienced such comfort and faith in a doctor as I have with Dr. Nathanson.

The wait to see this doctor is worth it. The waiting time is in part due to his attention to his patients.One of the most caring and to the point doctors that I have met.

Dr. Nathanson is an excellent Dermatology doctor. He is thoughtful, thorough and approachable in discussion of diagnosis and treatment. Both my husband and I have been a patient of his for many years and have been completely satisfied with the treatment and reception we have received from him.
