Wasserman, Kenneth E MD

Doctor Wasserman is very complete and detailed. He is like the old time doctors our families grew up with. I am a nurse at a University Hospital in Philadelphia and my professional friends there seem to know he is the one to see. My whole family goes there and he has picked up small skin cancers that were just beginning and were extremely small on my grandmother. You do wait when you go there but it is worth it because he talks to you and really knows you if you are his regular patient. You feel like you received a detailed visit and there is no rushing here like in other doctors offices where you just feel like a number. His staff makes sure you remember your appointments. He emphasizes follow up to see the results of treatment and I as a nurse know how important that is. I wish my regular docs paid as much attention! Some of my regular doctors call in medicines on the phone without even looking at me! You won't get that with Dr. Wasserman!

The reasons why i wouldn't recommend this place are many. This guy seems outdated and his office is old. All he does is talk about himself and tells stories which are a waste of my time. His nurse hands out expired samples (from 2004, it's 2009 now!), and he can't write in my chart himself ? he has one of the assistant-assistants do it. So not only do I have to listen to Dr. Wasserman talk about his brother's-girfriend's-sister's puppy, now I have to look at some braces-clad teen in scrubs taking copious notes on post-its.

Everything about this place is strange. He didn't really listen to my wishes on what I wanted my treatment to be because he talked about himself so much. Not worth my copay. Already have another appointment with another practice.

I am also in the medical field and went to see Dr Wasserman , I had same experience as many of these posts, I should have gone to this site and read these reviews, . I never knew that I had a follow up appoinment until I received a call to confirm. I told the woman on the phone I did not have a appointment and did not need to see the Doctor., she was very rude and talked down to me like I was a 2 yr old. Then the Doctor got on the phone and he continued to talk down to me. I have never in my years dealt with a Doctor or staff like this, It is a wonder that he still has a license.

I am a healthcare professional in north jersey. I drive 100 miles to see Dr. Wasserman because he is the best. Years ago, I was seeing a dermatologist more...

I am a healthcare professional in north jersey. I drive 100 miles to see Dr. Wasserman because he is the best. Years ago, I was seeing a dermatologist who told me I did not need followup. I was bothered by this because of my family history of skin cancer. I made my way to Dr. Wasserman because I saw him on TV related to his work with skin cancer in professional athletes. I believe I am alive only because Dr. Wasserman insisted on twice yearly exams because of my family risk. He picked up a melanoma in its early stages which my oncologist said would eventually have done me in if not for my regular exams. Dr. Wasserman, thank you. Your attention to detail is why I am alive. Don't change a thing. By the way your nurse is why I never forget my appointments!!

I called to rescheulde a appointment. OMG, they were very persistant that I reschedule immediately. I told them I would need to check my schedule ( I work 2 jobs) and call them back, they put the Doctors nurse on the phone and she said I needed to reschedule right then and there. I again told her I need to check my work schedule and call them back, she put me on hold for at least 5 minutes. I hung up, then the Doctor called me back and was annoyed that I would not reschedule at that moment and said if I did not rescheulde he would not see me again. Then he sends me a 2 page letter berating me. What a Nut . He spends more time telling you how great he is and how he did skin testing for the Phillies, he is very full of himself and thinks he is a brain surgeon. He is basically a pimple doctor that tries to build himself up.
After my expereience I talked to a friend that had the same experience with Dr Wasserman, he called her house and screamed at her for a appointment that she had cancelled weeks prior. Sounds like he is hard up for patients and will go to any extreme to make sure you have to continue seeing him. I found another Doctor through my insurance company who I am very happy with. Dont go to this Guy, you will regret it.Also it looks as though he has his staff write nice reviews after there is a negative post. I really dont believe someone drove 100 miles from North Jersey to see this whack job. when they have access to the finest Doctors in New York City.

A great dermatologist who treated me as if I was one of his family. He made sure I had my follow up care which helped me get better.

My son had persistent warts. We tried all the over the counters and several other dermatologists. No one was able to help us. He was the only doctor who explained the importance of regular treatments and this is why his office staff encouraged not canceling of appointments. I listened and they were right and now the warts are completely gone. Now, I go there also and I think he's great! He also really talks to us and to me that makes him a real doctorIt may slow him down but this is the kind of doctor I want, not someone who is in and out in 5 seconds.

He found a skin cancer that another doctor missed. He explained a lot so I now know how to protect myself from sun exposure. The staff always helps me when I need to come sooner. This is the kind of office you go to if you want meticulous care and follow up. I have referred my whole family
