Dr. LaRaia is the best! I called today, got an appointment the same day, and Dr. LaRaia addressed all my concerns immediately. She is an amazing communicator, and always kind, gentle, and a joy to work with.

Report
I would not use this office. This is the second time in a row I waited and ultimately wound up not being seen due to running out of time. The first visit was last year where I waited OVER an hour in the car, left, drove home, and received a call 40 minutes later saying they were ready for me. This time I waited 40 minutes and had to complain in the hallway before the Doctor even came in. Doctor was not very concerned or apologetic and suggested I make visits at times that work better for him to guarantee I would be seen on time. Offered to waive copay and I let him know that no services were rendered and if I was billed I would file a complaint of medical billing fraud.
The only other solution he offered was to make a visit with a different doctor in the practice. (Which of course would be in another 3 weeks.) When I called the office to complain I was just told this doctor tends to run behind. 10 - 15 minutes is "running behind", 40 minutes to an hour is unprofessional. How can I trust my medical care to someone who can't be bothered to be reasonably on time for multiple visits? Definitely advise folks who value their time and medical care to not use this office.

I was very pleased by the functioning of this practice and I was especially impressed by my doctor. I thought he was extremely competent and had a really good bedside manner. I drive all the way from the Outer Cape to come here and I will continue to do so. Highly recommended! Peter Herridge MD

Dr Weinfeld is so knowledgeable and always takes time to listen and answer all my questions. She's a top-notch dermatologist. The check-in process is smooth and though I do often have to wait a bit for the doctor to come in the room, I go mentally prepared and never have something right after that I need to rush off to. I know it's because she's not rushing the appointment before me and I'll get the same attention when my turn comes, so would rather that than feel like I'm rushed.

I have been going to this practice for years and my dermatologist left, but I chose to stay and I love Dr. LaRaia and her staff (Bree)! They are warm and welcoming and Dr. LaRaia is very thorough and explains everything especially as she is going along. Highly recommend this practice! So glad I stayed!
