There are general traits patients look for when choosing a dermatologist:

  • Board Certified
  • Experience
  • Range of Services – You want to find a physician that can provide a multitude of services. Your initial appointment may be to have a skin cancer check, but perhaps at a later date you’d like to get lip fillers or another cosmetic treatment?
  • Facility – Your health and safety is the most important thing. Making sure the physician’s facility is clean and orderly is something to consider.
  • Insurance
  • Bedside Manner – You may have seen this term thrown around review sites in regards to a doctor. Bedside manner is defined as “a doctor’s approach or attitude toward a patient.”
  • Good Diagnostician – Make sure the dermatologist you are about to see diagnoses skin conditions correctly, especially if you are being seen for skin cancer.
  • Physician’s Sex – Some patients may feel more comfortable seeing a physician of the same sex or the opposite. It is all based on your preference, and at times can be a determining factor for a patient.
  • Overall customer service – You want your entire experience to be a positive one, that means all of your interactions with the staff from your initial phone call with the front desk to the doctor’s bedside manner.

Do any of those sound like something you’re interested in? Then it’s time to take your next step in finding a dermatologist in Queens. Here are some things to do before booking your first appointment.

  1. The doctor knows best, right? Ask your primary physician for a list of referring dermatologists in the Queens area.
  2. Use the physician directory provided by your insurance to see what dermatologists in Queens are currently accepting your insurance. This search process will help you narrow down your choices.
  3. Research the doctor’s credentials – You want to find a physician that is board-certified. This certification means the physician successfully completed the required education and residency. It also means they have a license to practice medicine (extremely important, of course).
  4. Read their biography – Generally all websites have a section for patients to learn more about their physicians. It usually includes some information about where the physician is from, where they received their education, sometimes projects they’ve worked on and even what they enjoy doing in their personal life.

Once you know more about the doctor and have decided on a few you would like to visit, check their availability. Finding a doctor you like is great, but finding one that works with your schedule is even better. Use websites like ZocDoc, to find doctor’s availability, location and even see if they take your insurance.
