Have see Dr. Frankel and can recommend him... very nice guy and knows his stuff... often with dermatological stuff (rashes especially) it is important for the doc to see it when the outbreak is there not 2 weeks later and this Doctor makes appointments in a timely manner and his office runs on schedule so there are no huge waits..

I also recommend Dr. Frankel.

I am going to him today (with a skin rash that is FREAKIN me out)
I heard wonderful things. He was recommended by Dr Frankels Office.

I am going to see him in his Manhattan office, which i dont mind. All the Brooklyn doctors I called were out on vacation or closing today at noon.

Good luck!

Why did Dr Frankel's office refer to him? Is Dr. Frankel out of town?

I have seen Zaleya... and he misdiagnosed a problem that I was having which sent me on a round of tests I really didn't need and a delay in a diagnosis that kept me uncomfortable for a lot longer than what would have been the case if he had thought outside the box. Can you tell I am not recommending him. His practice is heavy on cosmetic..Botox and such. His manner is pleasant enough. I am not saying that he is incompetent but compared to Dr. Frankel.. well there is no comparison.

He gave me some Zyrtec for my rash, and recommended that I see him in his BK office next week for an allergy test.
Now that I read your comment above, I am worried.....

Dr Frankel was indeed out for the holidays.

I am of course mis-reading this...an allergy test... doesn't mean just one test does it?

When does Dr. Frankel get back???

That is strange! I saw him a couple of months ago and he had a busy practice. You might try walking in to see about making an appointment.

Dr. Frankel is the better doctor. I've seen them both. Zelaya's practice is mostly botox, and I remember years ago, they didn't take credit cards! I was like wut?! Frankel is the real deal, kind and informative. TRUSTWORTHY.

I saw Dr. Zelaya last year for a rash, which he treated quickly and appropriately. No complaints at all.

I tried to make another appointment recently for another issue and was told that he's only in his Brooklyn office one day a week and the next appointment was in a month. Nuh-uh.

Staff was distinctly not helpful, too.

I'll be looking for another derm who takes Empire Blue Cross.

Are you Kidding?
This is the doc that advertises on the subway.

I would need to hear lots of personal testimonials to even think about this dude!!!

wow, does he had his license back already? I know it was yanked for a while for negligence. I think he would have to be the last dermatologist on earth and I would have to have a bad rush to consider that option....
They never actually yanked his license, the three year suspension for negligence on more than one occasion and failure to maintain adequate medical records was stayed with a three year probation, which ended May 11, 2007. And he had to pay a $40k fine.

Hope he takes care of whatever ails you quickly!

Dr Frankel's office runs close to your scheduled appointment. The once I waited for a while he was very apologetic and sincere about the apology. That is rare with many doctors. They come across like obviously your wasted hour is not important to them. I hope he does help you take care of the problem.

I have a really good podiatrist I can recommend in the neighborhood. Bruce Freidlander.. 9th street right off the park.

I would assume all podiatrists do pathology testing. They take samples (scraping, fluid whatever) and send it to a lab.
