The staff here is so compassionate, from making my appointment to the front desk staff ! Mr. Matt was, extremely kind and understanding, he made my experience great !
Sep 13, 2021
Nice enough group of people and the Dr I saw didn’t rush me out the door. If I have one critique it would be that they messaged like 4 times leading up to my appointment asking me to confirm and / or reminding me what time I have to be there, and then had me waiting 30 minutes beyond my scheduled time to see someone.

Dr. Justin Shaw is excellent. Communicates well with the patient and explains options. Very professional staff. The office is a little busy and waited 30 minutes, but it is worth the wait.

The Derm Group took me quickly, and on the day saw me right on time and were very efficient and friendly. The best part; they gave me the right meds. and immediate relief.

Have used the Derm group for years. First experience at Verona. Great, timely schedule and visit.

I saw Dr Nossa for cosmetic Botox. He explained the treatment and it was quick and painless! He was conservative about fillers which I appreciate. Great first experience!

Dr Brown is the best human being that could have chosen medicine as a profession. I feel as though he provides the kind of care that he would provide for a loved one. He listens very carefully and provides knowledgeable and clear instructions on how to care for the issue. He never has a problem answering questions to ensure that my daughter and I understand whatever it is we are unclear about. I highly recommend Dr Brown and I must mention that his medical assistant is wonderful as well. ( she is from the Caribbean and I forgot her name 🙂) .
Aug 27, 2021
No long waits to see the Physician Assistant. Excellent service!
Aug 27, 2021
Dr. Shah is awesome, the way she explains and treats the conditions makes it very easy and manageable. The staff is very friendly and helps in every way possible. Thank you!
Aug 25, 2021
I saw dr. Nossa. He was patient and understanding listening to my concerns. Excellent experience!!
Aug 25, 2021
If there is a negative aspect about this place, I would say it’s the wait time to be seen, other than that this place has been golden for me. The girls behind the counter are pleasant and very accommodating. My Doctor, Dr. Brown, made a recommendation 7 months ago and it’s been the best case scenario for me and my skin! I would, and have, highly recommend the Derm Group of Verona!
Aug 25, 2021
An experience I had been dreading more than dentistry turned out better than I could have hoped due to a confident, skilled and knowledgable doctor and technician who put me at ease, prevented pain & talked me through it. Kudos.
Aug 25, 2021
This was a good experience. I was warned that the wait in this office was horrible. It was not. I have been back twice in the last few years and I hardly waited 5 minutes to get in the exam room and less than 5 minutes for Melissa to see me. Great experience
Aug 23, 2021
Friendly, efficient, competent. Good bedside manner. Good explanation of service performed and lab results. Short wait time in waiting room.
Aug 20, 2021
Shannon was excellent, always a true professional, always caring, her work unsurpassed by even some of the top plastic surgeons. Highly recommended for any type of cosmetic procedure.
Aug 20, 2021
First time meeting with Geri who is very pleasant and knowledgeable

First time meeting with Geri who is very pleasant and knowledgeable
Aug 19, 2021
While impressed at the quality and care by the medical personnel, the office staff has a lot to learn on how to run an efficient, patient-centric practice.
Aug 17, 2021
Average service - entire staff appeared to be angry and annoyed by their patients. You’re in the healthcare business - act like you care.
Aug 15, 2021
Dr Spates is the best and everyone in his office is knowledgeable and kind. Excellent follow up!
Aug 15, 2021
My provider was excellent. He was willing to answer all questions and he was extremely friendly and polite. However, everytime I come to this particular facility I feel such dread from the front end staff. Never a smile or friendly demeanor. On my last visit while I was checking out a lady by the name of Virgina was on her cell phone. I waited for her to put the phone down to acknowledge me. She didn't. So I said, "Hi, I need to check out and make a follow up" she puts her phone down looks at her computer and doesn't even give me eye contact! She just says "what day" it was very unpleasant. I felt like I was bothering her. Paramus front end staff has always been polite. Maybe I'll just keep going to Paramus.
Aug 13, 2021
Dr Shah and the entire staff were terrific. The doctor, in particular, stood out with her professionalism and warmth. Great experience.
Aug 13, 2021
Dr. Nossa is a fantastic doctor. He's very thorough and experienced and demonstrates great patience.
Aug 11, 2021
Dr. Brown is wonderful. He deserves extra credit for plowing through very uncooperative technology. It took over half an hour and multiple phone calls from me to the office to make a connection. First, I didn’t receive the “invitation” from the office but second, even after I did, it seemed impossible to connect with the doctor. I don’t know what went wrong but, finally, Dr. Brown recommended meeting on FT. This worked perfectly! Dr. Brown isn’t my usual dermatologist but I would recommend him 100 percent to anyone who asked! There was also an excellent receptionist who followed through and called me back when I was about to give up and cancel the appointment. She was responsible for making it happen.
Aug 11, 2021
Dr Stephen Spates, who did Mohs surgery on me, and his nurses are great. Besides successful surgery, they made me feel relaxed because they showed that they care by explaining everything they were doing, answering all my questions, and offering any help if needed during and after the surgery. Big thanks to doctor Spates and his team!
Aug 11, 2021
Saw Shannon Welner. Warm, welcoming & informative as always. Highly recommend- even for cosmetics!
Aug 11, 2021
Everyone in the office very professional and made the check in process very easy. Dr.Matthew Hislop and other members staff were very pleasant and explained everything to me very well.
Aug 10, 2021
Short wait time, very efficient. Doctor was pleasant and provided options.
Aug 6, 2021
All of the medical staff was friendly and efficient. I had only approximately a 5 minute wait in the waiting area and in the exam room, the service was quick and efficient. I have been there in the past and I am pleased with their service from the receptionist to the doctor!😊
Aug 3, 2021
Very friendly staff who answered all of my questions and were attentive.
Aug 3, 2021
Great care. Cleared up my plantar warts. Waiting room was a bit hectic, but people just be crazy I guess 🤷🏼♂️
Aug 1, 2021
I really enjoyed my visit at the Derm Group. First of all, the staff was very friendly and the open layout of the waiting room, made it seamless to check in. Dr. Shah was professional and very nice upon my first meeting. She explained the procedures to me and made me feel extremely comfortable. I will definitely be back!
Jul 30, 2021
Matthew and Chanelle were so incredibly kind and helpful. I had a reaction to the removal and they helped calm me down and make me feel comfortable. I think I squeezed her hand a little too tight and I am so sorry about that. Very much appreciate their kindness and professionalism. A third person came in as well and was also very kind and helpful. Greatly appreciated!!
Jul 30, 2021
Beautiful setting, presentation, and staff, oh did I say staff 😊
Jul 29, 2021
There was some fuzziness about my appointment when I arrived, but the person who checked me in quickly put things right. I had no wait and soon was seen by Dr Nossa. It was painless and quick and I am VERY pleased with my results and definitely will return. I was treated courteously throughout and everything was done right.
Jul 29, 2021
Hi there, Everything was good except for the blonde desk assistant who was very rude with us since we arrived to the front desk, and also she never let Shannon know that we had appointment with her. We were in the waiting room for about two hours until a Spanish desk assistant realized that everyone was leaving the office and we still were there waiting to see the dermatologist. Shannon was very kind and she apologized for the awful service at the front desk
Jul 28, 2021
Mathew was very professional, I am already improved after 24hours I was able to get a same day appointment
Jul 28, 2021
Matthew Hislop was very professional and direct with his assessment. The staff was also kind and efficient with how they guided me through the process. They made my visit simple and quick, I would definitely recommend their group. 10/10
Jul 28, 2021
The Verona Derm group is outstanding. They are meticulous in the tension to detail and they make the visit very pleasant. I would highly recommend them
Jul 27, 2021
Dr. Nossa took his time and was incredibly thorough. His calm demeanor makes one feel comfortable.
Jul 26, 2021
Dr. Nosa is nothing short of a rockstar as far as dermatologists are concerned. His staff does a very good job. Even with COVID , over several different visits …….from just a simple check up to a detailed procedure that occurs right at the office……they come through. The only downside is there ability to work with insurance companies in order to make your overall experience top notch/ 5 star
Jul 25, 2021
Great dermatology group. They have the ability to service all your dermatology needs and wants.
Jul 23, 2021
This location is good and you usually don’t have to wait too long if you check in beforehand.App makes check-in easy and doctors are great
Jul 23, 2021
Very professional office. Dr. Brown was great, made me feel very comfortable.
Jul 22, 2021
I am quite happy with the Dermatology group in Verona. The front desk, medical assistants, and of course Dr Shah are absolutely wonderful
Jul 22, 2021
We were 30 mins late due to power lines closing off route 10. Dr. Wellner was kind of enough to squeeze my daughter in since I took the day off to bring her. Dr. Wellner is amazing. I have been a patient of hers for over 8 years and have had positive results. Now I am bringing my daughter for her skin issues as well. Thank you Dr. Wellner!
Jul 19, 2021
I recently visited the Derm Group in Verona for the removal of Basil Cell skin cancer. Of course this is not considered pleasant: however, the way I was treated by Dr. Shah and the surgical assistant and the other staff in general did help to make it an overall good experience. I did not experience any pain during the procedure what so ever, and was given detailed instructions on how to care for my wound. I have been to Dr. Shah, whether for my Dad or for myself, a number of times. This time I had to travel almost 80 miles one-way
Jul 19, 2021
I will definitely recommend The Derm Group of Verona to my friends and relatives. I went to Dr Shah and she was thorough and efficient. No long wait in the waiting room and the doctor was on time. Office staff courteous and efficient
Jul 19, 2021
Great service, Dr Shannon Welner very caring and takes the time to listen to your concerns. Wonderful experience.
Jul 19, 2021
Great service fast and very helpful to your needs recommend to anyone seeking a good Dermatologist
Jul 19, 2021
Ordinarily I steer clear of big group practices but with Dr. Nossa it always feel very personalized and he is a great general derm doc as well as a spectacular cosmetic dermatologist. He is super pleasant, professional and he always listens to patient concerns. I refer quite a few people to him and they’re always very pleased with their cosmetic results.
Jul 13, 2021
The Derm Group was amazing from the receptionist to the Dr. Thank you for handling my issue.
Jul 13, 2021
I have been a patient of The Derm Group for many years. I see Shannon for my routine exams snd have had Dr. Spates do Mohs surgery when I needed it, which had been many times. I would recommend The Derm Group to anyone who needs a skin exam.
Jul 10, 2021
Love Dr.Shah, friendly and knowledgeable . Nice office, definitely recommend.
Jul 10, 2021
I’ve been seeing Dr Shah for over 5 years! She’s great thorough and cares about her patients! I highly recommend her.
Jul 9, 2021
Extremely short wait time Verona. Very friendly personnel. Extremely clean environment.
Jul 9, 2021
I could not see my regular doctor (because I didn't want to wait for when he was next available) but saw a P.A., Melissa. She was wonderful - very friendly, gentle, and reassuring. I've already recommended her to someone else who also needs a skin screening.
Jul 5, 2021
Excellent, efficient, friendly staff. Great doc that explained and very good with my son
Jul 4, 2021
My appointment was very pleasant, I didn't have to wait long to see the doctor and everyone was very friendly.
Jul 4, 2021
Dr. Matthew was very adequate in his assessment of my condition. (insect bite) However, No one asked for a medical history, allergies to medications, current medications or the possible side effects to the prescription ordered. Not very satisfied with the professionalism of the office because of this.
Jul 2, 2021
First time there, Dr Mathew, intelligent and polite. I will continue to see this doctor
Jul 1, 2021
Fast service, I was able to make a same day appointment which was great, and the doctor I saw was very helpful!
Jul 1, 2021
Clinical care is top notch. Dr. Nossa is great. Scheduling and checking in process needs some fine tuning.
Jun 29, 2021
Such a great group! Everyone in the office was super friendly. There was a wait but I only waited for around twenty minutes. I will note I was also a new patient to this group but even then it still wasn't a long wait. I saw the physician's assistant Matthew. He was so friendly and profesional with great bedside manner. I will definitely keep coming to this office.
Jun 29, 2021
Geri was great! Best facial I ever had! She is so knowledgeable of skin care! Very pleasant and her room was immaculate and very comfortable!
Jun 26, 2021
We like that we didn’t have to wait so long for an appointment. The practitioner was knowledgeable and efficient. The only thing was the nurse seem to be a bit uptight and not too friendly.
Jun 25, 2021
Very short wait, everyone was friendly and professional. Dr Shah is personable and professional. Highly recommended.
Jun 23, 2021
This is a 5 star establishment! From reception, to nurse, to doctors assistant, to doctor. 5 minute wait to be called in, procedure to 20 minutes. Very professional, very friendly and most of all on time, practically no wait. Hats off to this dermatologist group.
Jun 23, 2021
Unfortunately, my son got a wicked, unidentifiable rash the day before we were to leave for vacation. The Derm Group (Verona) was able to fit us in for an appointment and the PA (Matthew) was great explaining everything he was going to do and why so that he wouldn’t be scared. Thanks Matthew!
Jun 23, 2021
If going to a doctor's appointment can be described as a pleasant experience, my experience yesterday would be described that way. The wait time was minimal, the staff friendly and organized, the Dr. kind, informative, and easy to talk to. I was in, out, and treated in 50 minutes feeling attended to and well satisfied with the visit.
Jun 23, 2021
A wonderful experience with friendly staff and very little wait time.
Jun 23, 2021
The Dermatology Group in Verona is my go to place for my skincare needs. The staff and doctors are very friendly and professional. They also make the doctor's visit experience quick and easy, which helped get my skin back on track to being normal again.
Jun 14, 2021
Everyone is so nice at this office. I see Dr. Melissa Miao, she’s amazing. She really made me feel like we’re going to get to the root cause of my eczema flares. The nurses, staff, and doctors are amazing. I love this place and I am so glad I came back!
Jun 14, 2021
I have been going to this office for many years and I always have a good experience with Dr. Brown. The waiting room was crowded and the wait was a little long, but overall my visit went well.
Jun 11, 2021
The waiting time was relatively short. Dr. Brown was wonderful - compassionate, interested, informative, kind, knowledgeable, and skilled. His assistant was pleasant and helpful.
Jun 11, 2021
Very friendly and professional staff. I had a 9:50am appointment and was taken in at 9:50am, no waiting. Dr. Avenee Shah and her assistant made me feel very comfortable. I highly recommend their services.
Jun 10, 2021
Professional and knowledgeable excellent service and treatment
Jun 10, 2021
My husband and I both saw Dr. Brown. His nurse was really kind and Dr. Brown was amazingly thorough. He explained every single step of what he was going to do. He explained the issues her saw, the procedures required and the medications we would need. He was by far the most attentive and thorough doctor we've ever been to. If you visit The Derm Group - ask for Dr. Brown!
Jun 9, 2021
3 rating is because Dr. Shah is good. She would take time to explain and above all had a pleasant Behavior I was extremely displeased with the staff. Come on, they are pediatric dermatology and would have expected to have a good and pleasant behavior. Very rude in talking and do not have time to explain anything.
Jun 9, 2021
The staff was really friendly, but you guys need to be better on the times to attend every patient. However, the consultation with Dr Brown was amazing.
Jun 7, 2021
Wonderful office. Dr. Brown is thorough, knowledgeable, and patient. Great staff!
Jun 7, 2021
First time at this place. I waited 20 minutes, many doctors, lots of people on waiting room. Dr. Sha was in and out wasting no time. I was there for a pre screen cancer, either I don’t know all the medical terminology she was asking me about or I should’ve been more prepare on this matter, I had no answers for many of her questions. Besides that, she checked my body very throughly and cut all there was necessary for lab. I still like her, even I have the feeling she could slow down a little.
