For the first time there , I was quite pleased . They took me in the office in a timely fashion and the Dr. was very nice and explained the procedure throughly.
The staff at Schweiger Dermatology is always friendly, informative and knowledgeable. They also typically run right on schedule, which I really appreciate.
This place is amazing. Dr. Knapp and Jaelyn (spelling) are Gods and the office is fantastic. Not all dermatologists are equal. These are the best in the business and they treat their patients like royalty. Go here if you enjoy scrupulous, preeminent dermatological care.
It was my first visit for an annual skin check. I saw dr. Allison Potalski. She was great! I never went to a dermatologist before so I didn't know what to expect. She was so nice and put me at ease. Thank you Allison you did a fantastic job. Her assistant was awesome as well.
I see Nina. She's quite wonderful and my daughter is going to start seeing her as well
Always pleasant and listen to the patient. Great PAs, nurses, and Dr. Pattison.
Visit was very quick and professional. staff was very friendly and helpful
I am professionally and thoroughly cared for there . I can highly recommend them. Before landing there a few years ago, I had been to several dermatologist. I see Kelly Powers-PA-c. Her fast response to an email I sent through their portal got me in within 24 hours where she was able to catch basal cell carcinoma which was promptly operated on with no complications. It's been years and her thorough six month check ups give me peace of mind and confidence in this practice And more importantly in the Lord and His Grace for sending me there for treatment
My 6 month old has extreme eczema, we have tried everything to help him. When our new patient appointment was a month out and he was scratching until he drew blood they moved his appointment to the next day. With western traffic they didn’t turn us away when we were a little late. The nurse that brought us back listened to my concerns and when I was tearing up because I feel horrible for my son the nurse gave me a hug and told me I was doing everything right, I wish I caught her name because she was amazing. The provider we saw Karyn was ABSOLUTELY amazing. She listened to my concerns and explained the game plan and the next two steps if the first step didn’t help. And when I picked up his script and I had questions they called me right back and Karyn was the one calling us to explain and answer any questions I had, I don’t know about you but most of the time it’s a nurse calling you, not the provider. When you tried everything for your child and nothing helps you feel terrible and like you failed. But the nurse & provider didn’t make me feel that way at all. They acknowledged our efforts and provided hope that we didn’t have before with his skin. 100% will recommend this office. Even the front end staff is amazing and was smiling and talking to my 6m old. Any derm issue me or my family have we will always go here — you can see they care and they actually want to help you.
Very friendly and knowledgeable staff. Never have to wait long in the waiting room
Allison is the sweetest and most patient person ever. She always takes the time to listen to my concerns and explains what steps I should take next. I have extremely sensitive skin, and she’s been so gentle and understanding every time I visit. You can tell that she genuinely cares about her patients and wants to help them feel confident in their skin. The entire office is kind, professional, and compassionate.
My providers are great! They do their job responsibly and professionally. The AI scheduling has to go! I was scheduled by a machine when I did not request an appointment and ended up paying my co-pay for an appointment I didn't schedule which is more frustrating. If AI is going to handle a live person's job, then at least train it all of the way.
There are very few places who provide a quality of service great enough for me to take the time to leave a review, but Schweiger dermatology, and specifically my provider, Nina Vlainich, are one. I feel seen, heard, and understood. Never minimized, put off, or belittled. In a seemingly disposable society where interactions are transactional and outcomes are often detached from humanity, Nina has helped me solve a problem that brought me true (and nearly ever-present) suffering. From the crew at the check in desk, to the nurses and providers, every one of these women are superstars. I am beyond grateful for their assistance in making my life better. If you are at the end of your dermatological rope, give them a try.
Excellent group of Doctors. I have been with them a long time now and highly recommend to anyone looking for a great dermatogy group.
I never leave reviews but I am very thankful to this business. I went to schweiger about 3 months ago, and the doctor that had seen me was very knowledgeable and knew exactly what to do for my skin, and I am overjoyed that my skin is healing now. They also make it very easy to refill any prescription you may need and the staff is friendly.
My experience with Kelly was excellent. She took time to hear my concerns, check them out herself and discuss treatment options. She's excellent and is very thorough.
Nina and her nurse (wish I got her name) were professional, knowledgeable, friendly and caring.
The entire staff are friendly, helpful and professional. Highly recommend
Always gets me in in an emergency situation. Always professional and kind. Always through
Everyone was very friendly and I didn’t wait very long to be seen by the doctor
Kelly and her nurse are very caring and spend time with their patients. They go the extra mile to help with your medications and quickly get back to you with your issues.
When I noticed a spot on my hand this summer I made an appointment for a full body skin check with Nina and couldn’t have been more put at ease by her as well as everyone in the office. She recommended different things I could use for skin care at different prices that were both high end and affordable. Both my children are also patients here and the care and time the staff put into addressing all of my concerns is really unmatched. I recommend Schweiger Dermatology to anyone that will listen.
Overall experience was good. Although I was not informed before paying my copay they do not treat various veins as their website implies.
Kelley Powers was so kind and patient with my children. She really took her time explaining what she was going to do and made sure to acknowledge their feelings when they said they were scared. She made them feel comfortable and I’d definitely recommend her!
I truly enjoyed my experience here! Alison and Alicia were top tier in care, empathy and efficiency. I was in and out in a timely manner with excellent results. Customer service tens across the board.
I've had nothing but great experiences at this office! All of the staff are friendly and I've never waited long for my appointment. The PA I see (Allison) is fantastic too! Everyone has been so helpful, polite, and knowledgeable.
Promptly brought into treatment room. Spotless facilities. Pleasant and professional staff.
Never a wait with appointment. In and out unless than 30 minutes. Whole body scan and freezing a couple of barnacles
Always impressed with the level of care and attention at Schweiger. Would recommend Laurie to anyone.
Allison P. is a pleasure to have as my dermatologist. Friendly and professional. Rarely, if ever, are appointments running behind or not in schedule.
Dr. Theta Pattison is the best there is. I always feel that if there ever is a problem that I could not be in better hands!
Laurie Knapp is impressive! She was very knowledgeable and professional in reviewing potential diagnoses for my symptoms and delivered some upsetting news with professionalism and respect. She performed skin biopsies with precision and explained each step in the process. The office staff were all very pleasant and efficient. Highly recommended Laurie and this practice!
My husband and I both see Allison Potolski. She’s very knowledgeable and thorough. The staff is fantastic too!
Kelley Powers is the most enthusiastic and knowledgeable provider. She makes uncomfortable conversations completely normal and always has great suggestions for how to handle different skin conditions. I would highly recommend her.
Wonderful service. Was seen very quickly as a referral from my midwife for a biopsy, which I appreciated. Every person I encountered was kind, knowledgeable, and supportive. Highly recommend this establishment.
The woman at desk when you walk in was just great and friendly. Allison and her nurse were great as always. Thank you
Caring and understanding staff. Took my concerns seriously . Highly recommend .
I was concerned about an area by my hairline that did not heal completely. The nurse and PA were pleasant and professional. The spot is a Seborrheic Keratosis--a common benign growth. They allayed my fears in an upbeat and reassuring way.
Excellent service and very caring and competent staff. Whenever I have an issue or a routine check up, I can count on them!
I was a new patient. Saw Dr. Laurie Knapp for three different skin issues. Within a week they were all pretty much resolved. Great place!
I cannot say enough about this group! From the welcoming receptionist to the wonderful Nurse Practitioner I saw, they made my yearly skin check comfortable and put any concerns I had at ease, especially since I have been struggling to find a new dermatologist after a few years. I have already recommended Schweiger Dermatology to my family and friends!
Doctor Theta provides excellent care. I have followed her advice and prescription and have enjoyed great results.
I had a great experience! I was seen quickly and their explanation of my concerns were thorough.
Friendly staff, clean office, amazing doctors! Highly recommend this office, they take great care of you.
Very friendly and helpful. Answered all my questions and recommended products to help my skin.
Kelly was friendly and professional. She listened to my questions and answered them satisfactorily. She gave me options for treatment and advice for home care. I never felt rushed. She was interested in my background as a Physical Therapist and had a brief conversation about a particular specialty of mine. I left there feeling very well cared for.
The staff were well trained able to get me started as soon as I arrived. Everyone was courteous and knew exactly what to do so that I was ready to be seen at my appointment time. I saw a PA, Allison, and she was on time and prepared to see me. The facility is clean and easily accessed from a generous parking lot. It was a good experience.
Very professional personnel and Allison does a terrific job of skin treatment
This is an extremely well managed dermatology office. The staff, from doctor, to PAs, the nurses, to front desk. Truly professional people at every level. I have had nothing but the most excellent care here for a number of years. I particularly appreciate my PA, Samantha Lagace. She is personable and skilled.
I saw Dr. Kavita Menon in this practice. She is a great dr. Very detail oriented and gives the patient her full time and attention. I couldn't be happier.
Allison is super friendly and understanding. Have made a lot of progress on my battle with acne
I see PA Mary Spratt!, as other reviews say , wait time is very minimal and all staff get to know and care for you.
I had a consultation appointment with Dr. Alexis Perlmutter today and the staff were all very pleasant and welcoming. From the receptionist to the nurse to the doctor. This was the best appointment I have had since moving here in 2005 with the three dermatology offices I was going to. I highly recommend this office to everyone.
Dr. Winter is excellent, albeit very quick. We had a severe issue which she addressed professionally and conservatively. Very little wait time, both for appointments and in waiting room. Every time everyone in the office was courteous, welcoming and appropriate. Excellent experience.
I had to go for a full body scan and to have a mole removed. The office staff were friendly and efficient. I was seen quickly, which is great, as is there anything more tedious than waiting for an appointment? I found the assisting nurse to be very friendly and thoughtful. She anticipated questions I might have about the process and explained what the PA would be doing before I saw the PA which was helpful and calming for me. The PA was effective and professional. I wouldn't say she had a friendly "bedside" manner, but not everyone needs to have that affect. She didn't make me feel uncomfortable and she wasn't cold. This practice has the PA/doctor do the scan while the assisting nurse takes photos (with permission) with an iPad. The whole thing was done very quickly, but I did not feel it was rushed. I also had a mole on my earlobe removed. This was painless, over in a moment, and it healed well. Overall, I was satisfied with the care I received and scheduled my followup at the same practice.
Friendly staff and knowledgeable Doctors.
Friendly, professional staff! Great experience all around.
There are not enough positive words that can fully express how pleased I am of Schweiger Dermatology Group. The office staff are very friendly & accommodating. Kelley Powers has taken care of myself, husband and toddler grandson. She is through, professional, answers all questions in an easy way to understand, sensitive and caring. I would not go anywhere else. 5 star rating.
Love coming here. Great care. Great staff always on time a thorough.
Schweiger Dermatology is the Best office Ever. The provider and staff are wonderful. I see Erin, love her. They are always on time, youre in and out quickly and efficiently. Very friendly, highly recommend.
Ari was very helpful. Called in for an urgent appointment and she was understanding of the medical condition to discuss with team to get an appointment the following day. Thank You!
Been going here for years and Dr. Patterson and staff have always been great!
Had my first visit with Laurie. Highly recommend. Great personality.
Does anyone have experience with a Dermatologist they would highly recommend? It would also be much appreciated to find someone who could see me relatively
Can anyone recommend a good dermatologist, preferably in Albany? Thanks!
