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 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 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.

Professional and knowledgeable excellent service and treatment

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!

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.

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.

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.
Jun 6, 2021
Personally I had a great visit no complaints I didn't wait long the place is nice and clean and neat the staff was polite Dr.. Shannon Welner is awesome very nice personality know how to interact just calm and caring takes her time with you I appreciate her

Dr Nossa is fantastic! He repaired my earlobe that had a torn piercing. It looks flawless!! Dr Nossa also did my Botox and I couldn’t be happier.
Jun 4, 2021
The staff there are incredibly helpful and kind. Despite the somewhat long wait time, they make up for it with their excellent service. Dr. Brown is very patient and thorough and I had an overall great experience with The Derm Group!

Clean, short wait time, knowledgeable, not rushed, spent time talking to me.

The staff are friendly and very helpful. The appointments are timely, my concerns are listened to and handled with care. Thank you for my overall experience!
Jun 2, 2021
I have been a patient with the team at The Dermatology Group for approximately 14 years. The doctors, nurses, and support staff are all wonderful. Dr. Nossa has been my primary care, with Dr. Spates performing surgeries. All of my skin cancer treatment has been top notch.
Jun 2, 2021
I have been to the Derm Group several times during the Pandemic. The waiting area is spaced so that patients are socially distanced and the “wait time” has been less than 15 minutes. Whatever management did to work this out, I say continue this type of time management in the future! (Prior to March 2020, I waited for up to 45 minutes to be taken to an exam room and then waited another 15-20 minutes before seeing a PA or physician.) Staff is friendly, efficient, and professional. The facility is spotless. Follow up care is exceptional.

Really like Dr Brown but the wait is terrible. Always at least 45 minutes. Appointment was fast and thorough.
Jun 1, 2021
Although I do like the doctor the wait times are ridiculous I waited close to an hour after my appointment time to actually get to see the doctor.
May 28, 2021
Had a wonderful experience. Staff was pleasant and efficient. I did not wait at all. Dr. Nossa was the best!
May 21, 2021
Nicole Colucci, the PA who has worked on me is very informative, patient with my questions, and doesn’t rush you. The Dermatology group was very busy today and Nicole still made the time to answer all my questions and put me at ease.
May 20, 2021
Always a good experience. Dr. Justin Brown is the best.
May 18, 2021
Service was quick and pleased with Dr Justin Brown expertise 👍
May 12, 2021
Needed a touch up on my laser hair removal, Dr. Nossa was fast & proficient. Prices were higher than a few years back, but it’s all relative. Should realistically offer an evening option for patients that work, difficult to take time off from work considering I work in the healthcare Industry as well.
May 4, 2021
Excellent service. Front desk was very kind. I waited no more than 10 minutes to be seen and Dr. Brown was very kind and helpful. Will definitely be back.
May 4, 2021
Dr. Brown makes you feel very comfortable. He's easy to talk to and is very caring and knowledgeable. Thank you!

I have been struggling with a foot fungus for 2 years. Have been seeing one of their head doctors. After many different expensive creams I called for last time this Monday and thankfully none of the Doctors where available. Instead I was asked if I wanted to see the PA At this point I was desperate so I decide to let him check me out. Well let me tell you it was the best thing I did.Matthew Hislop is a Gem in that office. He has a wonderful personality he is very knowledgeable and was concerned about my condition. He prescribed 2 cream which were very inexpensive and after 2 days the fungus is much better. I will only go see Matthew for any further problems. I just hope the are aware of how professional he is and keep him on staff and treat him well. He truly deserves a 10 in my book
Apr 30, 2021
Pretty busy office. (Around 1:30 or so). I was surprised there were so many ppl in the waiting room. Seats were apart but I still didn’t feel comfortable so I waited outside. temperature checked by front desk. Once called in the hallways had a lot of passerbyers. But very happy with the attention and time taken by Mr Matthew. He explained everything and was very thorough in examining. Definitely will return.
Apr 30, 2021
Very friendly and accomodating. Kept me informed about everything.
Apr 30, 2021
I was taken on time for my appointment. Although the annual examination was very fast (5 minutes) I have no reason to believe it was not adequately thorough.
Apr 30, 2021
Dr. Shah is knowledgeable, genuine and kind. She takes the time to explain procedures and is compassionate. In addition, the medical assistant was the best! I wish I remembered her name. She was reassuring when she saw that I was upset. She even gave me a hug...a well needed hug.
Apr 29, 2021
Dr. Robert Nossa is the best! Super knowledgeable and professional. Left me smiling and happy that my skin health was restored. Great support staff, very friendly.
Apr 29, 2021
Efficient and very professional staff. Matthew, the PA was fantastic. He really took the time to explain the treatment to both my husband and I. He really showed such compassion, care, and knowledge. Would not go anywhere else. So happy with the Derm Group. A million thanks! God bless you all and the work you do everyday!
Apr 28, 2021
Dr Shah was nice but seemed like she was in a rush. She didn’t explain anything or ask any questions-the whole appointment was over in less than two minutes.
Apr 26, 2021
Dr. Brown is very reassuring, but also pro-active in helping me deal with a family history of skin cancer including melanoma. Highly recommend.
Apr 26, 2021
It's a great place for any skin issues...I go every 3 mos to have things checked and dealt with if needed. That way I don't have to wait to get in when you I am concerned about something. Dr Nossa and staff are wizards!! The best.
Apr 23, 2021
Saw Dr. Brown last week for an initial visit. Visit was quick but thorough! He answered all questions I had and addressed all areas of concern. Staff was pleasant and helpful. Highly recommend!
Apr 17, 2021
Front desk was some what friendly, no complains. The PA we saw was too quick doing my father’s full body exam. The receptionist that gave was the f/u appointment was a little rude and indifferent. The place was a little busy when I arrived.
Apr 16, 2021
Got in, got out quickly. Very happy with the service I received. Making me download an app and logging in to just give information is silly. I was hoping to sit in my car until receiving a text that they were ready for me instead of waiting in waiting room but now how this office operates, But as I said wait was short. Taking temperature like all doctor offices do is really meaningless.
Apr 16, 2021
I had a positive experience. I appreciate the professionalism of the staff and doctor. I would return again.
Apr 13, 2021
Every aspect of my treatment was extremely professional. Dr, Nossa provided knowledgeable answers to all my questions and concerns. I am thoroughly pleased with the outcome of the procedure.
Apr 13, 2021
I went to the Derm Group on 4/12\21 for a follow up appointment. The front rest staff is amazing. Dr. Justin Brown is great. He takes time to answer questions. He explains everything and makes sure you u understand what is going on. The staff assistance was terrific. She was super knowledgeable and efficient.
Apr 13, 2021
I was so happy with my first consultation. Dr Nossa was a pleasure to talk to and ask questions. The staff is very friendly and helpful.
Apr 12, 2021
Felt like an assembly line. During a body scan there were zero questions asked by the physician assistant. It took all of five minutes and seemed rushed. Efficiency is great but not at the cost of quality of care.
Apr 12, 2021
The staff and Dr’s are very professional and welcoming. I am so happy Dr Shah is back from maternity leave. She is the best. Very knowledgeable and personable.
Apr 10, 2021
Very nice experience with the Dr, but the wait was horrible!! Way to many people in there
Apr 9, 2021
Dr. Nosa went well above his duties. A rash appeared in my nose. I called the office, but there were no appointments. Dr. Nosa called me home at the end of his day, consulted me over the phone and scheduled a visit for the next morning. I cannot thank him enough. The staff was also accommodating with me.
Apr 6, 2021
All the staff were very nice, professional, and extremely helpful in answering questions and accommodating personal needs. This includes staff from the first phone call to make the appointment, to when I arrived for my appointment, and after I walked out the door. I saw Melissa; she and her assistant took their time with me and answered all my questions. A friendly and professional group with great parking!
Mar 27, 2021
I was very impressed with the service and professional staff! I would recommend highly
Mar 23, 2021
Dr Brown is amazing. Thorough and super nice. Highly recommend.
Mar 19, 2021
Customer service is excellent but Sent medicine to wrong pharmacy three times. I’m called two days in a row waiting for the medicine issued to be approved.
Mar 19, 2021
Dr Brown is always great as was the nursing staff and reception. Unlike most other times I was examined without waiting very long. My only complaint is that a week later when I called about a new prescription that I was given, I was placed on permanent hold. I tried twice around 11:30 am on Friday March 19 and no one ever picked up. Pretty frustrating and I still do not have an answer to my question especially since Dr Brown simply said “give me a call if there are any problems with this prescription “.....
Mar 19, 2021
Thorough and professional with just the right amount of sweet thrown in.
Mar 18, 2021
Great staff Doctors are amazing I highly recommended to everyone. The wait is short I feel very comfortable coming to see the Dr
Mar 13, 2021
I love The Derm Group. They are professional and courteous and the physicians and practitioners are wonderful here. My son has been seeing Shannon Welner for a few years and she is the absolute best.
Mar 10, 2021
I like Dr Brown He is very professional and understanding. He listens and explains things throughly. The office staff is very friendly and efficient Thank you all for all you do
Mar 10, 2021
The only issue was that the office was running behind and I waited for about an hour after my appointment time. Once I got in the room, everything went smooth and was great.
Mar 10, 2021
The doctors and staff are amazing. Their Covid protocols were closely followed.
Mar 10, 2021
To be honest I wasn't incredibly impressed. The doctor wasn't warm to my child, he wanted to get out of there very quickly because they were obviously very busy. I was prescribed 4 different creams and they didn't tell me which was for what. That's really kind of dangerous. It wasn't terrible either, but I won't be back.
Mar 9, 2021
Dr. Brown was excellent!!! Outgoing and easy to talk to. Provided great options for service and showed off his vibrant personality. His assistant was amazing. Thorough explanations of the procedure and enough positive energy to power a small village. Will definitely refer all of my friends to The Derm Group.
Mar 9, 2021
Good professional place but having to wait a long time is a hassle
Mar 7, 2021
Very professional, clean, well run practice. PA Shannon is so knowledgeable and personable. She’s the best!
Mar 6, 2021
Great doctor, Donna was great. Both very professional and attentive.
Mar 6, 2021
Very pleased with care on multiple visits; front desk friendly and efficient.
Mar 6, 2021
I love the Derm Group - Verona. I have been a client for over ten years. The staff is exceptional. They were able to resolve my skin problem when I thought there was no help for me. I highly recommend Dr. Nossa for anyone with a skin condition and you need help.
Mar 6, 2021
Was able to get an appointment here last minute, and felt relief the very next day. I saw Shannon she did a great job.
Mar 6, 2021
Each experience has been positive... the place is clean, staff is friendly, and the nurses and doctors have been knowledgeable while addressing my questions and concerns regarding skincare. Covid safety is addressed and parking is easy. And, as a bonus, my insurance is in-network.
Mar 5, 2021
Everything is 1st class professional service, find the problem solve it and get you on with your life. I have a fair complexion so I deal many years of not using sun screen. Dr brown keeps everything under control This is the best dermatology group I have ever dealt with
Mar 2, 2021
Great experience, very efficient with all covid precautions observed. Practitioner was knowledgeable, thorough, and very personable.
Mar 2, 2021
I would give a 5 start but the time a patient has to way is too long some, I've waited 20 minutes about 3 times to be seen by a PA
Mar 2, 2021
Dr Nossa removed two lesions, one from my scalp, the other from my forehead. The injection of lanicane at the forehead was quite painful. With regard to the biopsy, I had to call the practice to learn the results. Also, staff did not provide me with sign- in info for accessing the patient portal which should have occurred before I left the office.
Mar 2, 2021
Quick appointment. Doctor & all staff very friendly. Gave us easy information & instructions.
Mar 2, 2021
Dr. Nossa did great work on my back. All of the staff very professional.
Mar 2, 2021
Geri D'Antonio is great to work with! Very friendly, accommodating, and knowledgeable.
Mar 2, 2021
Dr. brown is awesome. The virtual visit was seamless and very clear/high resolution. It was just like I was back in his office. Highly recommend The Derm Group and Dr. Just Brown.
Feb 1, 2021
Dr. Brown is the best dermatologist for kids as well as for adults in the Derm.Group in Verona NJ. He is very knowledgeable, understanding and he cares for his patients. Highly recommend him.
