  1. As a long-time sufferer of cold sores, going to the dermatologist has never been a pleasant experience for me -- until I found Dr. Zelaya.

Keep on looking!

by MellyC at Citysearch

Today's appointment has left me angry enough to leave a negative review, which normally I do not do. I have seen Dr. Zelaya a few times. The wait is always long (1-2 hours), which is normal for most doctors. They do book several people for the same time, though, so don't be surprised to hear someone walk in saying "I have a 2pm appointment with Dr. Zelaya." when you also have a 2pm appointment with him. I get it, though - if someone does not show up, they lose money and have staff, bills, etc. to pay. However, they book too many people for the same time slot often. And the billing clerk is rude. I wanted to pay with American Express, they do not accept it. Okay, I'll pay with CareCredit - no, they do not accept that as payment for "just" office visits. So I paid with Visa. The billing clerk walks me to the exam room and clearly she is annoyed. She fixes the exam table but leaves without a word. Dr. Zelaya tries to keep the appointment to just 5-10 minutes max (if you're lucky). He recommended a treatment last Fall for an ongoing problem I'm having, said if it continues, let's do it next time. I was there today for the "next time" and he kept telling me to schedule an appointment for the treatment, which is just an allergy test. I kept trying to get it done today, but he would not do it. The technician/nurse is great, and she talked with me more than Dr. Zelaya. He's nice enough, but I would like the problem resolved or treated, not to keep taking different prescriptions. I will not be going back to him again. If you just need a prescription, then maybe he's your man. Otherwise, keep looking.

it's all about you

by luciaj at Citysearch

I have been visiting this doctor for almost a year now, and I never had a chance to comment on his service. After yesterdays treament , no matter how horrible my day to day went, It seems being there at skinworks makes me forget how bad my day is. I always leave happy from this doctor. I look great, I feel great, and everyone agrees.

Best Eyebrow Shaping/Waxing in NYC by Maria Sierra

by mpcooper at Citysearch

I've been to several places to get my eyebrows waxed from the neighborhood nail salon's to high end spas, but nowhere compares to Maria's skills at skinworks. She is both personable and gentle and really knows how to shape eyebrows to make them look there best. I highly recommend her!!!

Worst doctor ever, UNfriendly staff

by longq at Citysearch

This doctor is a scam!! Worst experience i ever had. I didn't visited this doctor just once i went there about 5 times! Every time i come in 5-10 min earlier my appointment time, and never been taken on time! Had to wait at least an hour every single time. The receptionist was always rude, as well as doctors assistant. When i get to the room another 15 minutes of wait and then 5 min with doctor who seem like been rushing somewhere and not giving me enough attention.

On my last appointment i told doctor all this and guess what? he didn't even care, he said "Yep, Don't Like it find another doctor" WHAT?!

WORST DOCTOR EVER!!

Ill never go anywhere else!

by Amny at Citysearch

I have been going to Dr Z for a while now and he never ever disappoints. He takes such good care of my needs each and everytime and always welcomes questions and never rushes me.

I recommend Dr z to literally ANYONE who has any skin concerns.

Friendly staff, amazing esthetician ( Maria is the BEST! ) and my skin has never looked better.

I really dont understand the negative reviews on here... i feel they may be written by competitors! I can imagine anyone having a negative experience when surrounded by genuine intelligent and caring staff.
