I received excellent, knowledgeable care in an empathic and reassuring manner.
Dr. Wyatt is an experienced specialist, who is also extremely knowledgeable, direct and kind. One of his many skills is to inform the patient quietly about details and treatment. This enables the patient to understand in real time what the best treatment options are and become a partner in the decision making process.
Genuinely kind and informative. Comfortable to communicate with and fully respectable.
Dr. Blair was thorough in his assessment and took the time to explain everything to me.
Quick diagnosis and meticulous treatment skills in removing foreign object and freezing precancerous lesion. No pain at all!
I just want to give a huge thank you to Ashley at the front desk. She was so sweet, kind, and understanding. I truly felt like she listened to me and, most importantly, I felt heard. Her kindness and willingness to help meant more to me than she probably realizes. I’m so grateful for the time she took to help me and make me feel comfortable. Thank you, Ashley, for being so wonderful! 💕
Exceptional service from everyone: kindly & patient front desk staff, knowledgeable medical assistants, thorough & meticulous medical care from providers. Would definitely recommend.
Addressing something that was not specifically part of the appointment but that was care for the patient which made a world of difference to the patient by alleviating pain.
My provider here is an excellent direct, thorough, and clear examiner and instructive about next steps and procedures. The medical assistants and admin staff are the same, it's a breeze being a patient here.
Dr. Wyatt has been my dermatologist for many years. He is personable, concerned, and provides excellent care. I very much appreciate his expertise and, as well, his kind medical assistants and the friendly, efficient office staff.
Blair is very personable when I see him and he always does a great job of addressing all of my concerns with his knowledge and expertise.
I am pleased with the personal care given by my provider, Blair. His communication skills are excellent and he deals with me as a unique individual. I get excellent care from him.
Very pleasant staff, on time, very efficient. I keep coming back & do recommend you all the time.
I would include friendliness as well. The practiced eye, knowing what to look for eases my mind.
Very knowledgeable. So appreciate the care I’ve gotten here as a patient for many years.
I honestly don't understand all of the negative Yelp and Google reviews. Before my appointment, I read quite a few of them, and many described Dr. Schwarz as rude or dismissive. I was genuinely nervous going in because of what I had read. My experience was the complete opposite. Dr. Schwarz was incredibly kind, professional, personable, and attentive from the moment she walked into the room. She listened carefully to my concerns, answered my questions, and provided exactly what I came in for. She clearly explained everything, walked me through the next steps, and made sure I understood what to do moving forward. Both she and the resident/assistant doctor were wonderful. I never felt rushed, judged, or brushed off--instead, I felt heard, respected, and genuinely cared for throughout the entire appointment. Everything was straightforward and efficient, and I left feeling confident in my care. I'm genuinely looking forward to my next visit and would absolutely recommend her to others.
I saw Dr. Horwich. He explained that my skin was reacting to products I was putting on. He suggested to stop and my skin rash disappeared within a few days. Thank you
After more than a decade of being misdiagnosed with conditions including Seronegative Rheumatoid Arthritis, Lupus, and Psoriatic Arthritis by multiple specialists, I had nearly lost hope of ever getting real answers. I spent years going from doctor to doctor, enduring endless referrals, invasive testing, and medication trials — many of which caused serious side effects and even permanent damage to my immune system and other organs. Everything changed when I met Dr. Horwich. After just one consultation, he listened carefully, took my concerns seriously, and performed a biopsy that finally revealed the true diagnosis: a rare variant of Granuloma Annulare. Within only three visits and a series of intralesional steroid injections, my pain and symptoms dramatically improved. For the first time in years, I finally feel like I have my life back. Dr. Horwich’s knowledge, thoroughness, and willingness to look beyond the obvious completely changed the course of my health. He succeeded where countless other providers failed, and I will forever be grateful for his compassion, expertise, and persistence in finding the correct diagnosis and treatment. I cannot recommend Dr. Horwich highly enough.
I've been a patient of Pioneer Valley Dermatology for several years and have always been happy with their expertise and professionalism.
Dr. Wyatt is a competent physician who takes the time to understand your specific skin issues, and focuses on the solution.
Always extremely professional, been going here for years, Dr. Wyatt and his staff are the best!
Superb dermatologist. Efficient and effective. Well organized office! Friendly staff. Strongly recommended. I have been with him for a very long time!!
What Pioneer Dermatology offers: excellent service, knowledge, compassion, care!!
Blair is an exceptional clinician. He is compassionate, sensitive to one's concerns, and takes time to explain the issues and the treatment goals. I feel fortunate to be in his care.
Very attentive with a thorough review of procedure and instructions for after the surgery. The surgeon and assistant, as well as other staff of the practice have been very present and attentive. The surgery and recovery have gone very well.
Provides excellent and skilled service communicating clearly and empathically what is going on
Excellent communication from Fariha Quereshy whom I saw for the firstime. She listened well , answered my questions, not rushed, warm personality. I'll certainly make future appointments with her. Also, a very nice staff. Short wait time.
I saw Dr. Horwich, who I believe is new to the practice. I liked him. Both he and the nurse assisting him wore masks when they saw I was, because of my concern about the flu epidemic. They took the time to identify and analyze my skin problems and answer all my questions.
Fariha Quereshy has such a warm personality. Puts me at ease. Explains as she conducts her exam. So happy with my care!
I was impressed with the efficiency of service and quality of care I received at Pioneer Valley Dermatology. I was a new patient and believe I had a thorough examination that was professionally handled.
Saw Dr. Horowitz for the first time as the PA I normally see was booking out a ways. I believe Dr. Horowitz is fairly new to the practice. I had a great experience and was given prescriptions to mix and apply to some of my spots. He also took a biopsy of a spot on my ear to have it analyzed. Told me that they would call me in two weeks if the test came back as pre cancer. A very pleasant staff member called me to tell me to book another appointment because I needed to have surgery. I was at the cape on vacation ( wore a hat and used 30 lotion) and I was able to book an appointment immediately on my return . Surgery is today. The staff have always been very pleasant and helpful. I usually deal with Blair the PA and he has always been very professional and thorough. I'm afraid I'm not very diligent in my keeping the sun off my skin and using sunscreen much to Blair's chagrin . I also thought Blair was a girl's name ( probably from watching too many "Boy meets Girl" episodes where the female star was named Blair") I believe his picture is on the website. It's a great practice.

There are a lot of old bad reviews here so I wanted to post a recent one. Reason for visit: I came here for a routine skin cancer check. Notes: * Everyone was very friendly. * They reviewed my insurance to make sure I was covered. * Their online check-in forms actually worked. They didn't ask me to re-write all of the same information I already submitted once I got there. Not sure why that's always a thing but I'm glad it wasn't an issue here. * I was seen almost immediately. * Dr. Liou was great. He was thorough, clear, friendly, straightforward. He comes off as a very honest person. He listened to what I had to say. Didn't push me for things I didn't need. * I see no reason not to recommend this site. If my opinion changes for any reason I will come back and edit this.
Dr Wyatt and his staff have provided excellent service to me, my family and friends over the past 15+ years.
Blair maerowitz PA Is the nicest guy I ever had the pleasure to see treated me and my daughter with respect and took the time to explain stuff to us we traveled 1.3 hrs to see him and he did took great care of us and the staff there are always pleasant I will recommend him to anyone who is looking for a great place he is a very caring man and now a days that's something special. Thanks again sir
I saw Michael Brown , he saved my life. He biopsied a mole ( He was my second opinion Doc) and it was Melanoma . He did an amazing job explaining everything and was SO nice! He scheduled my surgery with Dr. Arenus for my wide excision and sentinel lymph node biopsies. Michael is very thorough and I told all my friends to see him. I will see him every 6 months for the rest of my life-I'm 33!
High quality medical care and great office staff. They answer the phones! PA Mike Brown is awesome too.
