  19. I was impressed with the professionalism of the staff. I asked if i could wait outside and they called my cell and i was escorted into the examination room quickly. This was for a routine exam that i skipped last year. There were a few minor issues that were corrected.

  20. On my resent visit to Dermatology Associates, I did not see the doctor I usually see, as he was away. I did see the APRN Maja, who was absolutely wonderful. She was personable, caring and knowledgeable. I was extremely pleased with her, the nurse, and the receptionist. It would be ideal if all doctor visits were as pleasing!

  21. My first visit. Office clean and attractive. Very short wait. Carmella was professional and thorough in my annual check-up. Kate was a good R.N. assistant for her & the first to greet me. Thanks.

  22. I managed to get an appointment within twenty four hours due to a cancellation. My visit was pleasant, as always. I had a couple of issues resolved at the suggestion of my doctor and was in and out in no time flat.

    Dr. Zalka is the best for my needs.
    Any thoughts or concerns were addressed within my regular visit, as usual. I’m a …

  27. I haven’t even seen a doctor because the first time I called them, the person who answered didn’t even ask what I wanted an appointment for. They take some basic information including your email address where they send a link to a portal …

  28. The entire staff is so friendly and seem genuinely concerned with helping you, regardless of the purpose of your visit. I’ve gone to Dermatology and Associates for 20-25 years, and can’t imagine ever changing. The doctors are the best, and the entire operation is very professional.

  29. While the staff is always the best, the fact that they cannot have disposable masks available dropped my rating. I traveled for 30 minutes and realized I forgot my mask. I thought that a doctors office, ones dedicated to keeping their …

  30. I always look forward to and have a great experience when I visit Carmela! She greets me like a longtime friend even though its been a couple of years since my last visit. She is very knowledgeable and has a wonderful demeanor. As is usual …

    Billing is another issue!

  37. DO NOT GO HERE. I had been a patient a few years ago. Scheduled an appointment and they had all my information in the system. Then had the audacity to charge me a “New Patient fee” which they neglected to tell me, even though I asked if …

  38. My visit to the dermatologist associates of western Connecticut was great. The receptionists where second to none and Dr. LaRosa was amazing.
    I would recommend them to anyone. …

  40. PROS: The doctor explained what she was going to do although she did talk very fast. She was polite, friendly, knowledgeable and respectful.
    CONS: Our appt was for 10:30 but we waited in the exam room until 11:15 before doctor came in.

  42. Smart competent people at the front desk and in the examination room. Dr. Buscher gave detailed explanations during the examination which gave me confidence I was being well taken care of.

  43. After going to the same dermatologist for 30 years, I have been desperately trying a new doctor every year for the past several years only to leave very disappointed – well not this time! I was so wowed by Dr. Zalka, i really can’t stop …

  44. I am so thrilled the results of my visit are beyond my expectations. So impressed with Dr Alicia Zalka’s skills, abilities and pleasant attitude. When I used to go to a celebrity dermatologist in New York, I experienced pain and looked as …

  45. The staff were great from the reception to RN and PA. Very knowledgeable and fair pricing considering my work was not covered by insurance. Will recommend to others as I was given positive feedback prior to scheduling my visit.

  46. Greeted with a welcoming smile. Sharlize guided me into the room, made me comfortable, went over my reason for coming in and explained what to expect from the doctor. Dr. Zalka came in her usual friendly, welcoming manner. Talked to me the …

  47. All good, except after the first visit printed care instructions after the biopsy and care routine of skin would of been helpful. Nurses very responsive to call after the visit. Also the Dr had known that it was an hyper sensitive reaction before the biopsy and the results were the same. Did I need it? She was very nice.

  48. I still feel the same about your wonderful staff and medical team. I also note that the check in paper work has been greatly reduced with the online procedures. Thank you …

  49. This was my first experience on seeing a dermatologist. Everyone I encountered at this facility was considerate and professional. I’m happy that my primary care physician recommended them. If I require future care I will return. Also, will recommend this office to friends and associates.

  50. Archita Patel is a phenomenal PA. Her attention to providing the patient dermatological care in the execution of a procedure was professional and knowledgeable and her ability to listen and answer all questions was outstanding. Her …

  51. Practice manager is not only unprofessional but is downright patronizing and snobby. Not only did she insult me and disregard my dissatisfaction with my treatment, she insinuated the dermatologist specialist that referred them to me was …

  52. Dr Knispel barely let me get a word in, cut me off, talked over me, and didn’t give me time to adequately describe my issue. The appointment was very rushed, and it didn’t seem thorough.

  53. The entire staff was very efficient and friendly. Dr Eickhorst explained each course of treatment as we went on I could understand the how and why she was taking the steps she was. Nicole,in assistance, was extremely efficient and …

  54. Dr. Buscher is always on time, professional and compassionate. She is a master at explaining things in a clear and concise way. The office is run with extreme efficiency. I’ve never had to wait more than 5 minutes after the check in process. I highly recommend this practice.

  55. I was taken in within 10-15 mins of my arrival for my consultation (allowed me to use the ladies room). Friendly LPN and the doctor allocated plenty of time and attention to me and my questions.

  56. Unfortunately I drove past and tried to get into another building. I figured I would leave a message but I was able to drive there and get to checkin only one minute late. I was still on hold after checkin.

  57. Everyone was so kind. The body scan was so thorough. Their knowledge of every mark on my body was incredible. I have already made my yearly exam for 2023.

  60. As always my visit was professional and thorough, I always feel my skin is in good hands here. I will however miss my favorite Dr Zalka and wish her well in her retirement.

  61. Arrived late, but was quickly escorted to the exam room. Met w Dr Knispel very shortly thereafter. As usual Dr Knispel was very thorough with my exam and took all the time needed to address my questions and concerns. Just another excellent …

  62. Dr Knispel is the best doctor at that practice. He is very informative, kind caring, and he listens to what you have to say. I trust him completely.

  63. Dr Buscher and staff were Great! Dr Buscher explained a mole on the side of my face, gave me options on what to do and reassured me it was benign. Would recommend her … offie and eat room were clean.

  64. A family member referred me to Dermatology Associates of Western CT because I had a negative experience at a different practice. My experience here was far and away the best experience I have had at a dermatology office. The staff are …

  65. Dr. Eickhorst is the best and so are her nurses! She takes the time to answer any questions and concerns and any procedures I’ve had done have been relatively pain free which I was thankful for!

  66. As always, the doctor was beyond pleasant, but also courteous and took the time to explain answers to all questions. I give this office the highest possible ratings and review.

  67. Great experience. Front desk staff (check-in & check-out), greet you with a smile and are all very helpful, warm and friendly. Dr.Knispel, along with his assistant, are also very warm and friendly. Dr.Knispel listened to my concerns, was …

  68. Lovely, modern and clean office. Very nice front desk staff. However, the doctor continually talked over me, did not appear to be listening to what I was telling him, and made me feel so rushed, and as if I were annoying him by trying to …

  69. A true pleasure start to finish! Carmela is amazing as is the entire staff. Friendly, efficient, caring, helpful, etc. I could go on and on. LOVE the Newtown location but would travel 100mi for such great service!

  70. Carmella is a top level dermatologist. I trust her examination and diagnosis skills implicitly. Her communication skills are also first rate. Always kind. Always thorough. And always direct and explanatory.

  71. The doctor spent less than ten minutes in the room for an appointment that we waited weeks to get, did not seem to listen to my son’s concerns at all. I’ve had the same rushed experience with other doctors at this practice. Only positive is …

  72. Wait in the room was too long, but that’s unusual. This was my first visit with Carmella. She was perfect. Friendly, professional, knowledgeable. I look forward to many years in her care!

  73. Very polite staff in a welcoming environment. No waiting, and I was taken in at my scheduled appointment time. Dr. was very friendly and put you at ease and answered all of my questions.

  74. This is a very nice office. The staff, including Nicole and Dr. Eickhorst were wonderful, caring and informative. Checking in and out was easy and the waiting room was comfortable. I recommend this office 100%!

  75. Staff was kind and professional. Doctor eickharst was amazing. Her bedside manner put me at ease. Her priorities were right on: remove basal tumor and apply stitches that would result in minimal scarring. Thanks to the whole team.

  76. So quiet in the office. Such quick service and a wonderful experience with my (new to me) PA awesome Provider. SUCH A GREAT AND HELPFUL visit answered every question! …

  77. I was on time, but I had to wait one-half hour to be brought in to the Exam Room and had to wait about 10-15 minutes longer for the PA to arrive in a very cold room with my upper body covered only with a paper jacket. Not a pleasant …

  78. When you go to any Drs office your always on edge and one of the most rewarding factors In choosing a physician not only for the capabilities for the office in the office etiquette and the staff. Everybody there is friendly knowledgeable and I think they have the best dermatologists. Dr Zalka is the best.

  79. I was very impressed with both the professionalism and welcoming atmosphere of the staff. They were ready for me at my appointed time and I was seen in a reasonable amount of time. Dr Eickhorst was both personable and professional, …

  80. The office staff was very helpful and professional. Dr Busch was very nice and informative. She explained to me, what the different spots and colors meant on my body. Reassured me all is good. Thank you

  81. I did have to wait about 20 minutes, but that is standard these days in doctors’ offices. Carmella was great, explained things well…her cohort was very good. Sorry I can’t recall her name. It’s a bit of a drive from Torrington, but well worth it.

  82. My last visit with Dr. Zalka before her retirement. I have been a patient for 14 years and will miss her professionalism, caring, warmth, and brilliance. The nurses and front desk staff are wonderful!

  83. This derm office allows patients a bit of grace period if running late which was helpful as this office is pretty far and on a street with only 1 lane most of the route. The derm office is in the back of the building. This needs to be …

  84. Before I made my appointment, I mentioned to the assistant on the phone what I was scheduling the appointment for. I then noted in the client paperwork the same reason for my visit. Next I noted at the beginning of my appointment the …

  85. Called to make a new patient appointment. 6 to 8 weeks out and I felt very rushed to give them all my information. They’re too busy for my liking. I found a better practice elsewhere.

  86. I was very nervous to go for a body check because I am a sun lover. But they were so welcoming and kind. They explained skin tone and all the types of freckles and spots that are hereditary. They made me feel comfortable.

  87. This practice is top notch. Dr. Zalka is excellent – she treats her patients with respect and kindness and takes the time to address any concerns and explain the diagnosis. Nurses and all staff are welcoming and friendly. Office is beautiful, clean and well maintained.

  88. Dr. Eickhorst was super knowledgeable and kind. She and her staff made me feel comfortable. I was greeted with a friendly and professional atmosphere. I waited about 35 minutes past my appointment time to be seen and that is the only reason they didn’t get 5 stars.

  89. First time visit to this dermatologist and the Newtown office. Plenty of parking. Signs easily direct you where to go. The office is spacious with very comfortable seating. I was in the waiting room for less than 2 minutes before I was …
