Sapadin Allen MD

My mother was visiting from abroad and I made an appointment with Dr. Sapadin to check a suspicious mole. The office was spotless, the staff super friendly and Dr. Sapadin made my mom feel great as he diagnosed and removed the growth. Thank God it turned out to be benign! Dr Sapadin took the time to explain the procedure and comfort my mom. Dr. Sapadin was great and I recommend him to everyone looking for a great dermatologist. Extremely happy with his services!

So while others have been very pleased with his medical expertise. I am not!
I went to see him via a referral. I made an 8:30am Thursday appt, hoping to be his first pt of the day, get in get out. Not the case at all. He wasn’t even in the bldg when I checked in. How do I know you ask…
Because I heard the front desk lady on the phone with him, he was busy asking her what time she got to work (b/​c she said I got in at 8:03), how many patients he had waiting and if he had any surgeries that day. When she got off the phone, I asked her if he was running late, she replied, «yes, he had to stop at the hospital before coming to the office (a lie, which I later came to discover).
After a few, he arrived and I was called and led into the room, which was filled with Baseball memorabilia (some autographed — now I know this visit is going to be costly). The cool part about this practice, his File Management system is current; he uses tablets and takes your picture to attach to your file, so if there are two YaYa’s then we can avoid the wrong chart being pulled, by merely looking at the pic. Very progressive.
Now as for the doctor. Hmmm, he wasn’t as sharp. You would have thought I had some rare disease growing on my hand. Because he had no clue what this blistering rash was on my palm. I was hoodwinked into having this $ 1,600.00 Patch Test done. A Patch Test, is a skin test with 80 chemicals in individual square boxes. These chemicals are released onto your skin and whichever makes you itch like a dog with fleas is what chemical you have sensitivity to. This test was supposed to narrow down some of the possible external irritants that could be causing this. So the doc’s work was done, which was less time than my wait time. I jokingly asked his assistant if he would be ontime on Sunday, and this is when the Real Truth was revealed. He wasn’t at the hospital, he was traveling from Long Island to Hackensack, NJ. Truth is always better then lies. Just be honest, that makes more sense why he was delayed.
Sunday came, and I was sprinting to the office.
I discovered I’m reactive to ³⁄₈₀. So from Thursday to Sunday I scratched like I had a million fleas on my back biting me, because of this 3. The assistant told me we were done, but i was like, No No No. I agreed to the test so the doctor could determine the cause. So, she called him in, and he still couldn’t. We read off the print outs together, and Me, Myself, and I determined what it was irritating my skin. Because he suggested performing a Biopsy of skin and steroid shot («quack»). Iwill not disclose the name of the baby products, but I will say, it’s a new baby line, created by an actress.
TIP — This test destroyed my back with small burn marks from the chemicals and the tape adhesive. I was told it would go away after a couple days, its over a week. For $ 1,600, get a second opinion, the visit will be cheaper than the cost of the test.

Dr Sapadin was recommend by my husband who has been going to him for some time now. I’ve had dermatologist in the past that have taken biopsy after biopsy making me feel like a human pin cushion. Dr Sapadin is great he explained to me everything I need to know and look for and explained a lot of these biopsy could have been avoided. It sucks but you live and learn. I will continue to keep going to him thank you for being a great doctor!

Dr. Sapadin and his team are very caring and helpful. With an appointment, I followed the lady’s instructions and came in early to complete paperwork and entered into the exam room on time. No wait and my situation was handled in a professional and expeditious manner.
I highly recommend Dr. Sapadin to anyone. Lucy and Anna are amazing as well.

He saved my life. After going to 5 different dermatologists in and around Bergen County and New York, I finally got a recommendation from a friend to go and see Dr. SAPADIN. I almost gave up with my scalp condition. I suffered for 3 years and couldn’t find anyone to help me or even just diagnose me. I guess most dermatologists are just low lives looking to do plastic surgery and botox injections, but not Dr. SAPADIN. I OWE HIM SO MUCH. HE DIAGNOSED AND CURED MY SCALP infection. I am so so so grateful, he is old school and very experienced. Yes there may be a wait, but you wait for the best!!!

Doctor Sapadin diagnosed and removed a cancerous mole that another dermatologist across town missed … Thereby literally saving my life. I have been going to his practice ever since; the office is pleasant and comfortable, the staff friendly and accommodating, and the care is excellent. I highly recommend this doctor.

I haven’t ever been to a dermatologist before, so I have nothing to compare this visit to. I was scheduled to see a nurse practitioner as my visit was for a very minor issue. (Breaking out right before my wedding!) The office was clean and conveniently located with off street parking. I was early by 20 min, filled out the paperwork and was in and out of the office in 40 min.
The woman in the visit was helpful and informative, but she did prescribe me pills and a topical, and I was later told by another professional that the prescription pills were way overboard for my situation.
I would go back to this office. I also really liked the aesthetician who uses the office as well. She was very informative and professional and I was very happy with her work and recommendations.

First, let me start on a sort of good note. The only thing going for this place is the friendly staff and pleasant environment. Okay, now down the MAJOR issue-​Currently have been in this office for 2 hours… and about 1.5 of it has been just waiting. Got here with my mom at 4 and her appointment was at 4:30. After finally being called in at 5:15, she was asked a couple of questions, by who I’m guessing is the Physician’s assistant, and then left to wait again now 45 minutes and counting for the Doctor, at least that’s who I’m guessing we’re seeing next? HELL, at this point I’d be thrilled if Big Bird walked through the damn exam room door! Seriously, if you could go elsewhere, I would HIGHLY consider it.

DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME COMING TO THIS OFFICE. Sure, it’s conveniently located, clean, and the staff seems pretty nice, but YOU WILL WAIT FOREVER. I’ve been waiting in an examination room for AN HOUR. There was only one person ahead of me in the waiting room. This is absurd. My time is just as important as the doctor’s. If I showed up an hour late to my appointment I’m sure they would just turn me away or charge me for missing an appointment. I’m never coming back to this joke of an office ever.
