Dr. Roderick T Kaufmann, MD

I just learned that I have a malignant growth on my earlobe. Dr. Kaufmann had looked at it a couple of months ago and ineptly simply prescribed a cream, despite my explanation of how long I had had it for and despite how bad it looked. He didn’t do a biopsy. Another doctor looked at it recently and said it was obvious a biopsy was needed. This could have been treated earlier had Dr. Kaufmann done his job.

Barely looked at me Fter I asked for a Complete skin cancer check! Answered few of my questions, did not know what my rashes were ...or even suggest anything. Gave me a few creams, no explanation. Waste of time, go elsewhere!

dr kaufmann jr is a great dr and very kind and smart

For over a year Dr. Roderick Kaufmann blatantly refused to examine an odd growth on my leg. When it began to bleed - a prime indication of a melanoma - he finally did a biopsy. Not only was it a melanoma, a deadly form of skin cancer, but cancer cells were found in a lymph node. As a result, I have an uncertain future as a Stage 3C cancer patient.

I would not recommend this doctor to my friends

I very rarely write a review on a doctor unless the my experience was extremely great and/or terrible. I just wanted to start off by saying that I felt the need to write this to give others a heads up. Not sure how he got such great reviews.. but I was rushed the second I was called into his office and barely given a chance to ask questions or have my concerns addressed. I was recommended to see a dermatologist for a mole that my PCP was worried about. I found Princeton Dermatology Associates online and figured what the heck I'll give them a shot.. and since dr. kaufman got decent reviews I anticipated a great visit. However, this was just not the case. He came in and looked over paper work.. then literally looked at my mole for a couple seconds and did a body scan that took less than a minute. He told me that I needed to keep an eye on the mole and come back in a year, shook my hand and took off.. Being a new patient this was very disappointing.. hence why I felt the need to write… this. I am not sure how he got the good reviews, maybe he just was having an off day, but I have a feeling that is not the case.. Beware if you see him..

I visit every couple years to inspect my aging skin Always very efficient and informative however line most docs these days gives impreasion of being really busy. I like the way he explains what he is seeing and describes underlying causes.

Dr. Kaufman is an excellent dermatologist. He is knowledgable, personable, and I would recommend him. He has treated 3 family members.
