Dr. Shah is great and the office staff is very friendly!

Office staff was very friendly. Cleared the waiting room rather quickly. Doctor Brown was very friendly and thorough.

The office is good. The doctors and physicians are great. 3 stars because they use a call center and you can’t directly speak to the office. The call center and offices are completely disconnected and communication is non existent if you have a situation that calls for monthly coordination between them and a lab or pharmacy. If an issue arises, you need to go to the office and solve it. On the 3 and only occasions I’ve had to call to fix an issue, my phone calls never get to the office or the office doesn’t respond. Nothing gets resolved on the phone. The left hand doesn’t speak to the right and visa-versa. The problem is the system they’ve set up. So if you’re situation is a one and done office visit, this place is great. If you require a coordinated multi visit treatment, save yourself the headache.

Dr nossa is excellent so happy I switched over to the derm group!
Dec 27, 2021
Staffs are very friendly, and professional. My Dermatologist is what I expected. I recommended him to my family and friends.
Dec 26, 2021
I love going to The Derm Group in Verona. The staff is nice and helpful. Trained very well. They offer all types of fillers, creams, Botox and laxer hair removal are just a few of their cosmetic products. They also have a full team of people for skin issues. I LOVE Dr. Nossa. He’s smart and skilled but more importantly he’s honest. He works more on the conservative side. I like that. If you’re lucky enough to have him as your doctor you’re in very capable hands.
Dec 22, 2021
Dr. Shah is the best. She takes time to make sure she does her job properly. I go to see her for cosmetic and medical dermatology and she never disappoints!
Dec 20, 2021
I have never had a bad visit to The Derm Group. Dr. Shah and the staff are always pleasant and professional. I highly recommend this dermatological medical practice.
Dec 17, 2021
From beginning to end my experience with the Derm group was outstanding. Dr Nossa is amazing!
Dec 16, 2021
My visit was quick, efficient, and considering the circumstances, very pleasant. Thank you to Dr. Brown and his staff for being friendly & informative.
Dec 14, 2021
Dr Shah was very informative! Loved how she explained to us our daughters condition and she was very relatable. Front desk staff was helpful, and respectful. Came in for an appointment and only waited a couple of minutes before being seen. My only complaint would be the amount of people that were in the waiting room. Wish there was some social distancing especially for those like me who came in with a baby. Even with masks, It’s s small waiting area, so it doesn’t take much to crowd. Aside from that, it was a pleasant experience as new patients.
Dec 13, 2021
Thank you for accommodating my request for an urgent appt.
Dec 13, 2021
The staff was extremely friendly and helpful. They were well mannered and respectful. They were also efficient with the treatment and had me out within 30 minutes!!!
Dec 12, 2021
Professional, clean, Covid-safe, friendly. I also liked getting my Rx delivered to my home with Medley (spelling?) Pharmacy.
Dec 12, 2021
They were super efficient on what appeared to be a very busy day. My appointment was on time and everyone that I interacted with was personable and professional. The PA that saw me was expedient in her exam, but would slow down enough to answer questions. The front office staff had a real piece of work patient that was rude and a bit insulting. They handled him professionally.
Dec 11, 2021
It was my first time at this office and I am extremely satisfied with the service and treatment. Everyone is kind and professional. I’m looking forward to go back!
Dec 3, 2021
Ladies at the front desk were great and Shannon Welner was great and very nice during the exam. I would definitely recommend.

Dec 1, 2021
I had a skin cancer mold removed at The Dermotologist Group and I was treated so nicely by the staff, nurse and doctor. I recommend it to anyone with cancer issues. Excellent customer service and very professional.
Nov 29, 2021
Dr. Nossa and the staff are great! I would go an extra like to see him. Ty Dr. for all your help. Mk
Nov 23, 2021
I brought my daughter with doctor Brown. He is the best dermatologist I have ever seen..
Nov 20, 2021
Words cannot explain how i appreciate the services I received at the Derm Group at Verona NJ at my last visit, although that was not my first time there. But there's a big improvement compare to my previous visits Years ago. Dr Justin Brown was excellent and answered all questions asked during the visit.
Nov 8, 2021
Very pleasant experience. The staff are both professional and caring.
Nov 4, 2021
This group is great!!! The only suggestion I have Is I would like to get some post procedure instructions in either an email or hard copy
Nov 3, 2021
Shannon is the best, my daughter and I see her and we both agree. My daughter is a teenager and we don’t always agree so that says a lot.
Nov 3, 2021
I have seen Dr Brown of the Derm Group for 10 years. He is a knowledgeable and caring doctor. I have also seen Dr Spates 4 times for Mohs procedure, and am impressed with his reassuring manner.
Nov 2, 2021
Overall, the staff at the group are friendly, helpful and professional. Lately the wait time for appointments has been very quick! However, there is one woman who works at the front desk who is always so rude and always seems to have a bad attitude. Otherwise it’s a great office.
Oct 27, 2021
I love ❤️ how they operate their facility and Dr. Shannon is just an amazing dermatologist! I will always return no matter the distance because they express genuine concerns and addresses them without hesitation. Great staff.
Oct 25, 2021
I was treated by your PA, Melissa. She was a terrific provider. SHe was very knowledgeable, affable and congenial. As an MD myself I was hesitant to see a PA, however her professionalism totally changed my view, Thank you Melissa
Oct 23, 2021
Really like Dr. Shah. She connects well with teenage girls
Oct 23, 2021
I had a good experience with the front desk staff - very polite and helped me to reschedule my appointment 2x with no issue. I was personally, no a fan of Dr. Shah, she was very rushed and unfriendly. Did not seem to want to be bothered with questions or explanations. She barely introduced herself before removing my robe for the procedure. I will, in the future be paying out of pocket for a few cosmetic procedures but not through this physician.
Oct 15, 2021
Matthew Hislop is very professional dedicated with his patients and knowledgeable I had an issue with my skin for 7 months trying different medications and nothing worked, and the first time I saw him he perform the right test so he can figure it out which medicine I need. It's been 2 months and my skin looks better thank you Matthew Hislop
Oct 13, 2021
Shannon Welner is excellent as always, thorough examination and extraction. She's pleasant and friendly all the time!!
Oct 13, 2021
I logged into my insurance Blue Cross and Blue Shield omnia and looked up dermatologist that took my plan tier 1, Dr. Shah had great reviews and I decided to go to her office. I was able to schedule my appointment for the next day, perhaps I got lucky. My experience at Dr. Shah‘s office was amazing I was taken care of within 15 minutes of my appointment, Dr. Shaw knew exactly what my issues were and they were addressed. The front desk was very professional and her staff is very knowledgeable. Everyone was very courteous.I highly recommend The Derm Group , I believe that you make your own experience a good one when you go with a positive attitude. I hope my future visits are as good as my first. Thank you Julio Munoz Patient
Oct 12, 2021
The Derm Group is the best, Vernon, NJ..from the moment you walked through the door...greeted by the front desk receptionists with a friendly smile and professional customer services. Also, the doctors all are great! Patients healthcare skin services provided always in a clean environment. The doctors examined and explained to you the condition of your skin problems..I been going to The Derm Group for approximately...15 plus years. I'm so happy with the skin care I received from Dr. Shah. Always answered my questions with a warm caring attitude. The office hours are wonderful open approx. 6:00am.. The Derm Group Stay Healthy and Safe
Oct 12, 2021
I recently developed rosacea and saw Shannon Welman. She recommended medication that took it completely away. I was not able to get the right help with a few other dermatologists I had seen recently. I’m so grateful to Shannon for being so excellent with her diagnosis and choice of medications for me. She also took the time to help me pick out moisturizer and cleanser for my ultra sensitive skin. She is very talented and with her background in chemistry could identify skin product ingredients that I was allergic too. I highly recommend Shannon. She was great!!
Oct 7, 2021
Great staff! Dr Nossa is excellent. I wouldn’t trust my skin to anyone else!
Oct 4, 2021
I go to Dr.Mathew Hislop, he is so friendly and really takes the time to explain any and all of my questions and issues. I would recommend the Derm Group to any one with skin issues and I have recommended a few friends already!
Sep 14, 2021
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.
Sep 9, 2021
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.
Sep 6, 2021
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.
Sep 6, 2021
Have used the Derm group for years. First experience at Verona. Great, timely schedule and visit.
Sep 3, 2021
Another great experience with the Derm Group Verona. Short wait time, very professional and friendly staff.
Sep 1, 2021
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!
Aug 28, 2021
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
Aug 20, 2021
i don’t normally leave reviews but dr MATHEW is by far the BEST doctor there is! 10/10 reccomend him!
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
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 15, 2021
Dr Spates is the best and everyone in his office is knowledgeable and kind. Excellent follow up!
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
Saw Shannon Welner. Warm, welcoming & informative as always. Highly recommend- even for cosmetics!
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
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
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
Great care. Cleared up my plantar warts. Waiting room was a bit hectic, but people just be crazy I guess 🤷🏼♂️
Aug 3, 2021
Very friendly staff who answered all of my questions and were attentive.
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
Beautiful setting, presentation, and staff, oh did I say staff 😊
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 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 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 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
Very professional office. Dr. Brown was great, made me feel very comfortable.
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 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
Great service fast and very helpful to your needs recommend to anyone seeking a good Dermatologist
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
