Dr. Roy B Blumenstrauch, MD

He is awsoeme with me and my kids!!!1

By far the nicest and most knowledgeable doctor I've seen.

My insurance company and I were both billed for more procedures than he did. My portion was almost $400.00 for removing a couple o skin tags and a removal of a wart. The wart removal didn't work and he charged me for a return visit. His explanation was that it didn't always work the first time. This forum wasn't available when I saw him, so I'm writing it now. Please pay attention to the negative reviews here, and elsewhere. He will, excuse the expression, bleed you dry.

You will wait, and wait, and wait. Then Dr. B will fly into the room, spend 2 - 3 minutes with you and off he goes, leaving you there is unanswered questions.

They made a mistake on the appointment date, and even though I had a card they gave me with the correct date, they started hounding me for a $75 missed appt fee the next day. Now the are threatening collections.

I've known Dr. B for about 20 years. Our mothers were friends and I started going to him. I have almost gotten in fist fights with Dr. B over him not wanting to charge me because of our mothers' friendship. I've often threatened to find another doctor because "My money is as good as any other patients'" lol.Dr. B is personable. He loves his work and likes his patients. He's a genuinely happy person. So many doctors I've met don't want any emotional connection with patience. I don't know what it is. Maybe the fear of a great responsibility should there be some bad news, because nobody sees a doctor anticipating great news.Anyway, it's not just with me, because I've seen Dr. B interacting with other patients and his staff. As you can see.....I can't say enough about this guy!

My wife and I visit him regularly. Doctor B is just wonderful. He has taken time to know our family. It is always most enjoyable to visit him socially but also because I am very sensitive to pain. He is very skilled and I am very pleased with his care.

Very busy office offering cosmetics and many more services than dermatology services

Office staff not considerate, but they seem overworked. Doctor wasn't focused on my visit. I won't be back.

I went in to check for cancer spots on my skin. I was amazed at the swanky office and attributes - like Beverly Hills but in Torrance, CA. Free herbal teas and skin care samples in the waiting room. Staff very nice and good attitudes. The doctor popped his head in my exam room a few times to apologize for running late- how refreshing! And he even asked "could I get you tea or a beverage while you wait.. or a magazine?" So I had high hopes and appreciated this personal kindness from the doctor himself. But once my exam started- yes it was about 2 minutes long BUT I was prepared with MY LIST of things to go over. He was literally standing in an open doorway while I was still inquiring about my medical needs. So I guess the secret is NOT to let them leave you or you follow them- with HEY I AM PAYING FOR AT LEAST 15 MINUTES OF YOUR TIME.. and say it loud enough for his other paying customers in the waiting room here you. Overall- I am not sure if I trusted his immediate dismissal with just… a visual of my spots on my skin so I have to get a 2nd opinion now. But it was a very nice office to wait in- I got there at 11:15am for an 11:45am appt. I waited in waiting room until 12:12pm. Waited in exam room until 12:32pm. Spoke to dr from 12:32pm to 12:35pm.
