Can anyone recommend a good dermatologist (besides Bagel's practice on One Mile Rd.)? Thanks.

Dr. Kessel in Hamilton is great (609-890-2600).
Dr. Bagel is TERRIBLE - I personally had a very bad experience in his office and later learned that many people who have gone there have had similar experiences.

Dr. Bagel can be very rude and condescending.

On my first visit to Dr. Bagel's office he did a full body skin examination - he made me undress completely in front of himself and a male nurse (I am a young female). He proceeded to do a quick (30 second) exam and then, without my consent, removed a chunk of skin that he said looked suspicious. I found out later that he has done this with several other people that I know that had gone to him - none of us ended up having anything wrong with those skin biopsies. Seems he likes to just take a scalpel to people so he can charge the insurance. Dr. Bagel then prescribed a medication that I was allergic to (I DID indicate on my health history form that I was allergic to a derivative of that medication!). When I started to have a severe allergic reaction I went in to Bagel's office for an emergency visit and he denied that it was the medication (I have a friend that's a doctor who I ended up talking to and he told me to stop taking the medication immediately). The kicker was that Bagel's office then charged my insurance company DOUBLE for the emergency visit! I went in and told him to recind the claim or I would report him for insurance fraud. He did recind the claim but then charged ME for the visit. Needless to say I fought that charge and won, but I will never ever go back there again.

Thanks for all your replies. I will look into your recommendations.

FYI...I too had a negative experience with Bagel. He suggested doing a full body skin examination, but the way he looked at me when he suggested it was really creepy and made me feel uncomfortable. So I declined and turned the discussion to the reason I was there. He diagnosed my issue in a few seconds and proceeded to prescribe me a litany of topical creams that only further irritated and damaged my skin. He is awful and should be ashamed of himself for how he practices!
