Roy G Geronemus, MD

The best laser dermatologist in the US- hands down! Our family has use him for laser scar treatment, fraxel and microneedling. No scarring or issues whatsoever, just younger, smoother skin. He's a sweet, kind man. Can't say enough good things about Dr. Geronemus

I didn't come here for a consultation thinking it wasn't going to cost a pretty penny. So let's get to the professionalism and environment:

I don't know who Dr. Geranamus pissed off, but some of the reviews about him here are totally different from what I actually experienced just now. The man was courteous as could be. It's very...what I consider upscale. Very professional staff thus far from what I experienced just now. I was referred here by a Dr. Angela Beckford (fantastic Dermatologist). The moment I told her that I wanted to remove my birthmark, she didn't even think twice to refer me here (all the way from NJ btw). So I figured this doctor was very good, which is why I was taken aback by the negative comments. Anyway, everyone is entitled to their own opinions.

I started treatment for my 15 month old daughter in May 2022. The office is very clean and staff kind, empathetic and professional. I have never had to wait more than 10 minutes to go into a private room. After the initial consultation with Dr. Geronemus, I didn't realize he is the actual Doctor to perform every session as I had assumed one of his associates would be doing some of the work. Today I went to my 6th session and Dr. Geronemus was there and has been there every step of the way. He asks at the beginning of the appointment how she is doing and how she is healing after the laser. The results seem to be different for every patient. We have seen definite improvement although it is very gradual for now. We knew from the beginning that for our particular case would be at least 20 sessions. We were informed this at the consultation even before committing to the program. I am very grateful to this center and Dr. Geronemus as many laser centers will not treat babies as they are inexperienced or do not have the equipment. This place definitely has an infinite amount of experience with infants, babies and toddlers and I am lucky to have them within driving distance from NJ.

I went to see Dr Geronemus and I was so excited to go since just making an appointment was a big step. Tried to make conversation with him... it was impossible. No warm welcome, not even a hello. It was very odd as I never experienced anything like this. They must charge the exorbitant amount of money because once you meet him you won't go back. I had my friend in the room with me and she felt the same way.
I now have almost $500.00 invested and I want my deposit / consultation fee reimbursed.
I have been agonizing over what steps I should take and I have decided to let everyone know how my experience was. I want my clmsulation money back, he offered no advice, no help ... walked in, not even sure what he said and he was back out the door.
Horrible experience and I drove a very long distance to get there.

Met with Dr. G yesterday for my son who got stitches on his forehead to inquire about Laser Treatment. Had a 2pm appointment and staff took us in right away. Dr. G was very patient with my son and gave us a lot of information and explanation on treatment options. He was very pleasant and informative. We decided to go ahead with laser treatment and will be back in a month to follow up. It was truly an amazing experience. We came from Long Island just to go to Dr. G as he came highly recommended from our plastic surgeon. Would highly recommend Dr. Geronemus.

I have seen Dr. Geronemus twice.
He was referred to me by my dermatologist after I had severe scarring from facial shingles.
He was very attentive and knowledgeable and was able to evaluate me, suggest a protocol and perform the various treatments we agreed upon on my first visit.
From the time I arrived at the office until I left I was there less than an hour. Something I have never experienced at a doctor's office in NYC. (I'm used to waiting at least an hour before even being seen)
I couldn't recommend more highly.

I struggle with basal cell carcinoma and Dr G was amazing in removing so that I still have a normal nose/nostril. Maybe he's not Brad Pitt in the charm dept but he's an amazing doctor. Of course he travels with a posse of trainees -- they stitched me up and talked about a TV show called Naked and Afraid. So you're exposed to modern culture during treatment.

In this field, you will meet with doctors that genuinely want to help and unfortunately, you will also meet with other cosmetic providers that are there to take your money. In this case, I experienced the latter of the two. I went in for a pricey consultation of $450, believing that Dr. Geronemus was the most prominent in the field of lasers. The consultation with him was extremely brief (5-10 minutes if that.) He leaves you with the coordinator to discuss the type of lasers available which I feel is something that he should've been discussing being that he's the one that administers them. When I expressed my concern about the very brief "discussion" with the doctor, the receptionist at the front desk explained that the consult fee would go towards the procedure. I partook in treatment because I didn't want to feel that I wasted $450 and allowed him to perform a laser on my forehead and a laser of a different type on a scar I had on my body. I asked questions as to the type of laser he used and he left his assistant to answer my questions as if he had other things to do. He didn't clean the area prior to lasering it so he ablated my "makeup". I've never had a doctor treat an area without wiping or removing any impurities. Post procedure I wasn't confident in the treatment rendered so I sought a second and third opinions. In both cases, the those doctors told me that the laser that were used may not have been effective because I have too much pigment and that either nothing would happen, or the laser that was used could potentially make the area even darker. That was exactly what happened. The area that was laser on my face didn't change at all and the scar in my body worsened with pigment. I feel that this was simply rendered to take my money and just to say that he lasered the area. I believe he just used a laser that he thought probably wouldn't damage my skin, but probably wouldn't be effective either. In this instance, I don't feel that he rendered the best care. I am actually going to another medical provider tomorrow to fix the area that this doctor lasered that made the pigmentation twice as dark on my body. Total waste of money and disregard for genuinely wanting to take care of the problem. Not the best procedure, medical advise or experience. I wouldn't recommend him.

I met this doctor approximately 8 years ago. As many of the reviews note, he is quite the 2 second doctor with a combination of an attitude. I elected to have care provided by other doctors in his office versus him because I just thought the guy was a total ass####.

What's important to state is that lots of doctors train at his facility but few ever stay there long term. There are a few, but the reviews of the core of physicians who are his regulars are not all that great. And, as you will note, there are countless money issues with this practice.

I also hate the idea that the lay staff dresses in black. I'm not going to a funeral, I'm going to a doctors office where the staff should be dressed in bright colors to reflect a bright and happy environment.

I have brown skin and discoloration on my forehead and I've been self conscious about it for over 2 decades. No other dermatologist was willing to touch it as most lasers don't work on brown skin- finally one dermatologist who wasn't willing to treat me suggested Dr Roy Geronemus - of course reading some of these reviews made me apprehensive - the curt bedside manner etc but I took a chance and I'm really glad I did. My experience has been nothing but wonderful. Dr Geronemus has consistently been kind, patient, more than fair regarding pricing and incredibly competent in treating my discoloration. I am really happy to report that my discoloration is almost gone. I can't thank him enough. Also I never post reviews- but I thought this warranted a one.
