Dermatology and Skin Care Associates - Wellesley, Massachusetts

Dr LaRaia is by far the best of the several dermatologists I have experienced in years. She is thorough and professional and clearly the most competent of those I have seen. She is clear and conscientious and explains what she sees, what to look for and what if anything needs followup. She is gentle and pleasant. Her staff is excellent from her medical assistants to her office staff. Top notch all around.

I would not use this office. This is the second time in a row I waited and ultimately wound up not being seen due to running out of time. The first visit was last year where I waited OVER an hour in the car, left, drove home, and received a call 40 minutes later saying they were ready for me. This time I waited 40 minutes and had to complain in the hallway before the Doctor even came in. Doctor was not very concerned or apologetic and suggested I make visits at times that work better for him to guarantee I would be seen on time. Offered to waive copay and I let him know that no services were rendered and if I was billed I would file a complaint of medical billing fraud. The only other solution he offered was to make a visit with a different doctor in the practice. (Which of course would be in another 3 weeks.)

When I called the office to complain I was just told this doctor tends to run behind. 10 - 15 minutes is "running behind", 40 minutes to an hour is unprofessional. How can I trust my medical care to someone who can't be bothered to be reasonably on time for multiple visits?

Definitely advise folks who value their time and medical care to not use this office.

Dr Weinfeld is so knowledgeable and always takes time to listen and answer all my questions. She's a top-notch dermatologist. The check-in process is smooth and though I do often have to wait a bit for the doctor to come in the room, I go mentally prepared and never have something right after that I need to rush off to. I know it's because she's not rushing the appointment before me and I'll get the same attention when my turn comes, so would rather that than feel like I'm rushed.

Anne V. LaRaia look at my skin issue and prescribed cream and it was much better after 2 weeks. She is amazing really takes care of you. Office staff is also outstanding. I have told my family members about her and this office. Definitely recommend anyone that has skin issues to go to this office.

I was very pleased by the functioning of this practice and I was especially impressed by my doctor. I thought he was extremely competent and had a really good bedside manner. I drive all the way from the Outer Cape to come here and I will continue to do so. Highly recommended!

Myself and my family (and friends I have referred) so appreciate Dr Laraia’s attention to every detail in assessment and treatment of whatever we might need. We depend on her apparent knowledge and experience and we also enjoy her caring manner. At the same time we appreciate her efficiency and time management that respects our time demands as much as her own. Thank you Dr Laraia!

Dr. Laraia is a skilled and caring doctor. She always takes as much time as is needed to discuss any concerns and work out a plan of action that’s best for me. I’ve had other dermatologists in the past who made me feel bad about myself or were just going through the motions, so it’s a tremendous comfort to finally have someone I can trust and who seems genuinely happy to see and help me.

The practice itself is very efficient and well managed. Getting an appointment is always easy which is important since I have a pretty crazy schedule.

I’d recommend Dr. Laraia and the practice in general without reservation.

I have been going to this practice for years and my dermatologist left, but I chose to stay and I love Dr. LaRaia and her staff (Bree)! They are warm and welcoming and Dr. LaRaia is very thorough and explains everything especially as she is going along. Highly recommend this practice!! So glad I stayed!!
