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.

PA is incompetent and wouldn’t let me see dr
PA discounted my concern. Was very unprofessional . I showed her a picture of a severe problem with the skin around my eye which is recurring. She then looked at my eye that is now healing and then compared it to the picture of the affected eye (which was radically different) and decided that there was no difference! I went there because it is a recurring problem and wanted to make sure the issue didn’t happen again. The PA then asked the receptionist if she saw anything!!!!! REALLY….is that professional?? I will never go there again and will relay this to all of my friends and family.

The full body exam was not thorough at all. The doctor stood at the head of the exam table, never touching you, and could not possibly have seen all areas of skin as the left side of the body was against the wall. I will not be returning ever.

I had my first appointment with Dr. Geller yesterday and I was completely satisfied with my visit. The staff was friendly. Dr. Geller did a thorough exam and was open to answering any questions I had. I am definitely planning on returning and will happily refer my friends, co-workers and family.

New patient, arrived timely with website forms. Fairly short wait to exam room. Was asked to disrobe. A short while later nurse approached me with face mask because me employer had a Covid-19 case 1 state away and despite being WFH they decided I was exposed. Okay, if you want to screen patients - do it before I arrive and am disrobed at your request. I question the skills, effectiveness and ethics of what I just experienced.

Quickly seen at the office. The practice has an office in both Hackettstown as well as Chester and that is very convenient for me. Immaculate office, friendly and competent staff - I was very pleased with Dr. Geller and his staff. His practice is one-stop shopping for your dermatology needs. If it’s related to your skin, you are in the right place. There is something about being treated by an Ivy League trained physician that is very comforting.

Almost no waiting time. I saw Dr. Geller and one of his PAs. I received excellent treatment and it was over quickly. Yes he took my insurance - not every doc does. Dr. Geller is the type of doctor that you want treating you. He looks the part, and is very educated, experienced, as well as highly respected in his field. Take care of your skin - it’s the body’s largest organ. See Dr. Geller, he is a kind, careful, compassionate doctor.

Grateful Patient – Feb 26, 2020
×Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Geller?
My experience has been that when you arrive expecting to see Dr. Geller that you will be disappointed. Instead, expect to be seen by a 20-something physician's assistant - Sorry, I don't expect to be seen by a P.A. when I go to see a specialist. Also, watch your back . . . literally. They seem to be primarily concerned with taking moles, etc. off your back for skin cancer testing regardless what your original appointment was for.

I went to Dr Geller to have a few age spots removed. I was very happy that he was able to examine me and remove them the same day! No additional appointments and no fuss! Both Dr and staff were professional and friendly. I was very confident in the treatment and everything was explained clearly.

Dr. Geller was extremely late, I waited 45 minutes in a cold room, wearing a robe. My appointment was rushed, and the concerns that I did have were glossed over. I figured that I would have a chance to discuss my concerns after the exam. Nope. After the exam was over, he rushed out. The ladies that he had 'helping' him were very disrespectful and unprofessional, they were laughing hysterically and point blank rude making an already awkward situation, horrific. I felt terrible when I left :(
