In patients' words

"The office, however, is another story. I just went to my latest appointment with her and the office told me, upon arrival, that I didn’t have an appt... That is not how this should work. There is no consequence for you disrupting my day, costing me time and money to get out there, with absolutely no real apology."

The Dermatology Center of Worcester Testimonials page

"It is extremely loud in the waiting room because the reception desk is exposed and wide open. I heard about other patients problems, insurance info and person info (addresses, birthdays and phone numbers.)."

medicals-health.com user review of Worcester Dermatology Associates

"I always appreciate Dr. Kates for his honesty, knowledge, and skill. I see him for general dermatology as well as botox and fillers. He never tries to talk me into anything. And he is very reassuring as I am typically anxious with needles."
