In patients' words

"Dr. Magid is efficient, professional and knowledgeable. He takes the time to discuss treatment options and thoughtfully considers questions. I would highly recommend him. The only drawback is that he is typically very busy and booked many weeks in the future."

Healthgrades review for Dr. Morgan Magid

"My husband and I have both visited Dr Calciano regularly for years. We both agree he's the most thoughtful, attentive, conscious and skilled dermatologist out there!"

Healthgrades review for Dr. Andrew Calciano

"Very nice doctor and competent. I had to wait 3 months for an appointment. She was supposed to map my moles but did a superficial job. I think I saw her for about 7 minutes of my 45 minute appointment."
