I found this office online and after reading all positive reviews I decided to give it a try. I had something on my skin that I wanted to be removed. I made an appointment with Dr Barbara.( Dr Goldin was more difficult to reach). My first office experience was nice. Dr Barbara removed the thing from my skin, and treated another area on my feet. I paid over 200 after my insurance coverage for my 5 minutes pretty painful treatment, but I was very happy that my thing from my skin is gone. So it was fine. However the treatment on my feet did nothing. Unfortunately after three months my thing on my skin had grown back. Thus I made another appointment with Dr Goldin ( Dr Barbara wasnt available anymore.) He removed the thing one more time and said that not going to charge me for it, because its another the same treatment in a very short time. I thought that was very nice from him. Also I asked him to look at my feet and check why previous treatment didnt work. He told me that it is just a corn, thats why didnt work. I left office happy that my skin thing is gone again and its nothing wrong with my feet. Unfortunately, the thing on my skin had grown me back only after 2 months. This time I got very upset, because it was a third time in 10 months period time. I called the office to make another appointment. They told me that because Dr Goldin is by himself the next available appointment will be in four months! Wow, I couldnt wait four months. I decided to find another office. I made another appointment in different office. Week later I received a bill from Dr Goldin office for another 143$. They already charged my insurance, so it was what insurance had not covered. I called and said that its some misunderstanding. The way I understood I shouldnt be charge for it. I spoke with manager and she offered me 10% discount. I refused, because I shouldnt have any charge. They said that they need to talk do doctor and call me back. Nobody called so week later I called again. Finally another manager or somebody like that announced me that I have to pay the bill, because doctor said that the thing on my skin that he removed was something else. So this is another charge. Also for my feet examination is another 100$ charge. I asked why and they explained that this is just office visit fee. I couldnt believe. I have to pay so much for something that havent worked at all! And these treatment were really painful. What could i do? I was very upset. I felt like have no choice, and must pay. Didnt want to deal with collection companies as consequences. I asked a lady on the phone if she could give me at least some discount, like I had been offered before by somebody else . She told me that unfortunately she can not, because they have a contract with Blue Cross insurance company. I got very mad and wanted to finish a conversation with that lady as fast as I could. I did not mention that my insurance is AETNA not a Blue Cross. She didnt even bother to check before saying something like that. I just understood that they completely do not care. I paid ,and she told me that will send a confirmation by mail. Two months past and I still havent received. Thus in conclusion, in my opinion if somebody wants to spend money for non effective treatments, this is a perfect place to go.

Goldin Skin is one of the best offices I have ever been to. From the moment you walked, Jackie the manager, along with the rest of the staff, are there to welcome you. They provide great custom care service, making sure to individually take care of every single person who walks in. They are the nicest people you will ever find. Dr. Goldin is honestly one in a million, making the the office is truly "Goldin"; I recommend this place for your skin care needs. I thank God everyday and am feeling so lucky to have such a doctor, -Noushin =) =) =)

DR. LaBarbera is the best! Always super caring and honest, listens to her patients. Ive never had to wait more than a half hour to see the doctor, the staff is very attentive as well.
