Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Worst Doctor experience
Dr. Studnik spent less than 10 minutes in the room with me and was very rude. I felt like he did not care about my condition (acne) enough to even explain things through for me. He said “you wouldn’t know what they are anyways” when I simply asked for the name of the gels he was prescribing me. He laughed when I told him what sunscreen I was using. He said “oh so you haven’t been doing anything to treat it” in a very rude tone when I told him my skincare routine. Like obviously that why I’m there to see him, he’s the doctor, I did not study dermatology to know how to treatment my acne. Don’t waste your time or money. He wanted my to use products sold at his office that were very expensive when I have insurance. That’s what insurance is for. I wish he cared abt his patients instead of being so focused on how much money he makes. I left feeling even more discouraged about my acne.

Dr. Studnik was in the room with me for less than 10 minutes which is ridiculous when I paid a $40 copay for his time. He was very rude, did not make me feel comfortable, and actually managed to make me feel worse about my acne. After I told him my current acne is what it looks like on average, he said “so this is just what you look like”. He said “you wouldn’t know what they are anyways” after I asked him for the names of the gels he was prescribing me. He laughed when I told him what sunscreen I use. When I told him my skin routine he said “so you’re doing nothing to treat your acne” very rudely. That is the whole purpose of going to see him, to receive a treatment for my acne. I’m not a doctor, I didn’t study dermatology, so how would I know how to treat it? A doctor should make you feel like they care to help you and give you encouragement that my acne will get better. Dr. Studnik did the exact opposite. Don’t waste your time/money. He also wanted me to get expensive products from the office. That’s not what I have insurance for.

Don’t go to this dr or any office he may be in.
My experience at this office was AWFUL Dr so full of himself. He was in and out in seconds. The staff is horrible and I’ve been the medical field over 40 years. DO NOT GO THIS DR?

Terrible
Office staff was very rude and not very knowledgeable. Completely clueless. Terrible terrible bed side manner. Rude. Disrespectful. Flirtatious and completely inappropriate. Felt very uncomfortable. I don’t recommend Dr. Studnik or his office.

Dr. Studnik spent approximately 2 minutes of his time to diagnose a rash on my face as dermatitis and bug bites on my legs. I explained that I had not been outside and that they did not look like bug bites. He spoke to me in a condescending manner explaining that "sometimes bugs follow you in the house and bite you." He didn't ask me a single question and barely looked at my face and legs before making the diagnosis, prescribing two ointments which did nothing. The rash became worse and I made an appointment with a different dermatologist. She asked me numerous questions, did a full body examination and determined that I had contact dermatitis which had now spread to most parts of my body with indications of infection. She did a biopsy in two areas and prescribed prednisone, an antibiotic for the infection and a new ointment for the skin. Dr. Studnik was inept; he grossly misdiagnosed my condition and dismissed me with two inadequate ointments. One star it too many.

Dr. Studnik was good but his office manager Kellu was totally unprofessional, yelled in front of the patients and staff. Was very rude to me and my Father 83 y.o. When i asked her for the explanation of the financial policy and to show where is written regarding paying upfront for the visit , she just turned her back on us and keft. Was treatening that she will send us to collection. My Father had a medicare and secondary insurance and presented before the visit, and i did pay his copay. Bad experience. My Father did not feel good after this inapropriate behavor

Such a great experience! The doctor explained everything clearly. Took his time. Painless procedure and an amazing closure. Scar is barely there! The office staff is amazing. And a super clean environment. Also the wait time was barely 5 minutes. Always on time!!

I was a long time patient of Dr. Studnik, I moved a few years ago and went to another dermatologist today, it really made me miss Dr. Studnik, I felt I was always well treated by the staff and Doctor and I really felt he thorough and professional. My visits today with another Professional made me realize how good Dr. Studnik was.

As his patient, I found Dr. Studnik to be very arrogant and incredibly unprofessional. I had to have a biopsy but the office never bothered to contact me with the results or any explanation of my condition. When I insisted on speaking to a nurse, they said I had nothing and ridiculed me. Thankfully I asked for a copy of the results which revealed that I do in fact have a condition that needs treatment. When I pointed this out to Dr. Studnik, instead of remedying what could have been a mistake, he became defensive and aggressive over the phone. Unfortunately this doctor does not care for his patients.

I've been to Dr. Studnik for routine skin exams. On two occasions he removed a small mark of some sort from my back and side of face near the hairline. When biopsied they were benign. I barely felt him touch my skin during the procedure. Dr Studnik is professional and stays on time by limiting small talk.

I brought my daughter in for an appointment for her acne and every time she answered a question, the doctor seemed extremely disinterested and every response sounded sarcastic. I mentioned that I had some sort of rash on my leg and if it was possible, would I be able to get a prescription for it. In turn, he looked at me, made a face, before saying, "I didn't go to medical school for 12 years to give medicine out for free." He didn't have to be so sarcastic and rude.

Dr. Studnik helped clear up my teenaged acne and keep it healthy over the years. He is knowledgeable of many different types of skin conditions and has a sharp eye. The office is very clean and staff are friendly. They also offer many good products and services but are not overly pushy about it. Highly recommend.

I having been seeing Dr. Studnik for a year. His office is fine tuned you never have to wait. That is a miracle for a dermatologist office. He does Not do much talking that's why he is on time. He is excellent with his procedures. I highly recommend him. All my visits are for precancerous cells that he removes. I am 70 years old. ( he is very handsome too).
