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.

Rude and dismissive
The worst dermatologist I have ever had. Extremely dismissive and is always rushing to finish the appointment, doesn't even pretend to care. Go somewhere else if possible

Horrible Dermatologist, and Awful bedside manner
As a first-time patient, I was horrified by the way this doctor examined me. She failed to do a thorough check of all my skin abnormalities and rushed me in and out in 10 minutes. I should have left when she told me NOT to remove all my clothing--FOR a SKIN exam?All she did was take four biopsies that were all keratosis just to make a quick buck. Her hands shook the entire time she was using a scalp blade. I will never go back. Academic Alliance in Dermatology should be ashamed hiring her.

One Star Is One Star Too Many
Dr. Buchbinder-Herschman seemed bothered, rushed, and was very abrupt. The skin cancer screening I requested was thorough at all, as whole areas were ignored. Entire visit with the doctor was less than ten minutes. And that included three super fast and not very careful biopsy incisions. I would not see her again and would not recommend at all.

Absolutely not worth visiting.
Doctor has no bedside manner. Apparently she needs to retire if she doesnt want to provide attentive friendly care. I felt like I was judged for having medicaid even though I had genuine concerns. I honestly feel like she intentionally tried to make the visit unpleasant. Do the patients a favor and retire... we need more kind, thorough, caring doctors in the world. Some do it for money and she is a prime example of just that. I've worked in the medical field for years, I've personally had physicians ask questions to me regarding insurance even though they are not supposed to before treating the patient. I just don't understand florida and why it's so hard to find a competent doctor. Heed my warning to anyone thinking about seeing this dermatologist.. she's a joke. Go somewhere else.

If I could put no stars I would
One of the worst experiences I’ve had with a doctor was with Ligaya Buchbinder Hershman. She was extremely rude, dismissive, and overall did not care about why I was there. I ended up having to make a new appointment with a different doctor after seeing her as she did NOTHING for what I came in for. She even raised her voice at me. Will never return to her again.

Felt like I was bothering her by being there, maybe bc I was there for actual dermatology appt and not cosmetic. Felt very rushed did not address the 2 spots of concern I actually came in for til I asked again as she was walking out the door. She found something to freeze and then tried to walk out the door. Not worth my copay. Less then 5 minutes in a room.
