I went to see Dr Gruen for 3 bumps today. My appointment was on time. She extracted the bumps. I particularly like her pleasant attitude. I feel I got respect from the doctor and entire staff. Had I known her, I would have come to her sooner

I was kept waiting for an hour. After 45 minutes I was put in an examining room where I heard the doctor chatting with another woman about nothing professional. After another 15 minutes I left. A member of the staff informed me the doctor tells them to book appointments every 10 minutes, cramming as many people into the schedule as possible while keeping everyone waiting and making a lot of money. I will never go back.

I had a FANTASTIC first appointment with Dr. Gruen. Not only was she able to give me context on my concerns, she also took one look at another spot I had had for over 10 years and told me there is a medication to treat it! Every other doctor I had gone to ignored my concerns and referred to the issue as non harmful and therefore not requiring treatment. If you are a brown person like myself, I HIGHLY reccomend her. She has done extensive study on patients of color, and knows the skin conditions that affect them more than the... read more

I've been to several top dermatologists in NYC but Dr. Gruen is #1. She's thoughtful, honest and always listens. Her staff is top notch and flexible with appointments which is rare in my experience. So I'd highly recommend Dr. Gruen to prospective patients!

First time I saw Dr Gruen at Dr Bob Buka's office really like her she was very gentle and solved a small issue that a couple of other doctors had failed before. However when I visited for an important issue regarding an infection underarm she failed. She overlooked at the problem. Didn't prescribe antibiotics and I ended up in ER. I will never see her again. She is not experienced, even though she is not that young.

Dr. Gruen has been a lifesaver. I can't tell you the level of discomfort I was in. She worked with me for a good long time to figure out the issue and get it solved. Not to mention it's just a genuine pleasure to see her every couple months. She is always has a smile on her face and good for a laugh. I recommend her to everyone I know.

I would definitely recommend Dr. Gruen to others! She is knowledgeable, caring, and took the time to answer all my questions. I will certainly go back to her for any skin issues.

I never write reviews but Dr Gruen is a dermatologist fairy godmother. I have had acne prone skin my whole life. Dr. Gruen was the first dermatologist that I've met who was able to prescribe medications that actually worked with my skin. Thanks to Dr. Gruen I have clear skin. She understands every patient is different and takes the time to tailor a plan to each patient. A co-worker referred me to Dr. Gruen and now I refer her to everyone when I am asked about my skin regime.

I went to Dr. Gruen with hair problems. She was very ironic and not professional. Instead of helping me, she told me that, hopefully I will find a rich husband one day and he can pay for my hair transplantation. I should really give her 0 stars.
