Lapins Nikolajs A, MD

Doctor Lapins is extremely competent. He also is interested in you as a patient, and not just someone on a chart. I was recommended to him by two medical professionals who also use his services. They thought highly of him and they were correct.

If you want the highest of professional work in dermatology Dr. Lapins is the right physician for you. If you want drama and emotion watch a reality show on tv.
We have 3 specialist nurses, 2 physicians a former PA in our immediate family as well as 4 physicians that are close friends. They all rank Dr. Lapins high on their list.
I like going to a «Doctor’s Doctor» as they know the inside scoop. Everyone gave accolades about Dr. Lapins.
He removed a cyst from my nose. I was worried it would leave a whole or scar on my face. He took extra time and caution to stitch the skin together along the crease of my nose.
He is a professional of the higest caliber.

Dr. Lapins is a consummate professional. His staff is excellent, and appointments are kept on a timely basis. You won’t get a lot of chit-​chat or small talk, though I have come to know him over 10 years and can usually get him to chuckle a bit. Bottom line is he is an outstanding dermatologist, very thorough and efficient, and an excellent surgeon.

Dr. Lapins is one of the best dermatologist’s I have ever seen and I would NEVER go to anyone else. He knows what he is doing, is extremely competent and I love his sense of humor. He is engaging, and a lovely man. I don’t know what these other people are saying, he knows what he is doing and you will not be disappointed!!!

This man doesnt even deserve 1 star. I brought my daughter in for a procedure and ended up leaving without having it done. He is very condescending and lacks any kind of bedside manner whatsoever. He has a «im the man in charge“attitude and went against everything that Dr. Keller said should be done. I would NEVER reccommend him even to my worst enemy. He obviously is in the field for money because he sure doesnt show any compassion whatsoever

Dr. Lapins is an acquired taste. He can come across as brusque… but beneath that is an extremely smart, capable, thorough specialist. He also has a (very dry) sense of humor that can take a little while to draw out. I’ve seen him for many years and would NOT see anyone else.
I’ve also found the office staff professional and courteous — but very, very busy. This is not a general medicine practice — they see a huge volume of patients — I don’t expect a lot of TLC. Just expertise.

Lapins is very dismissive, rude and demeaning.
My regular Dermatologist, Dr Kay, was on extended vacation and I had the very unpleasant fortune of seeing Lapins. This was 2mos ago and I am still absolutely shocked and frankly infuriated at Lapins’s trivializing attitude and the condescending manner in which he speaks.
I specifically waited to ‘Yelp’ this to see if I would see this situation any differently after a period time. Well, NOPE.
I’ve been going to Dr Kay my full adult life — 20yrs give or take. Dr Kay is fabulous. He is attentive and a very caring Physician.
I’ve not seen the other Doctor or 2 in the Office so I can’t comment on them. But after the disastrous encounter with Lapins, I’ll only see Dr Kay there.

i saw dr. lapins a few months ago, and he seemed experienced and everything. however, my gripe is about his bedside manner. he seemed a little dismissive of my questions, and didn’t crack a smile once! you’d want to feel at least welcomed when you see the doctor, wouldn’t you? he just didn’t strike me as very approachable, and i felt a little rushed during the appointment. bottom line: he basically told me what i suspected was my skin problem anyway. so not much help there. i kind of felt like i wasted my copay. oh well.
the staff was okay, but i don’t think i’d come back here.

Very excellent. Have known him for many years and very straightforward and intelligent. Also knowledgeable about current developments. Jim Moren

I thought (and still think) he’s great. I picked him by chance out of the Yellow Pages since his office was closest to my work. He’s very nice and professional (and quick!). I had a mysterious bump near my belly button. He injected it with someonething, it slowly flattened months later and now, years later it’s as if it was never there. I’m going back to him in a few weeks for other disorders. Highly recommended.

Dr. Lapins removed two cysts from my face. One was on my left cheek and the other on my right jawline. He did a fantastic job! Six months+ have passed and the scarring is very minimal. I was concerned about anything on my face, but he worked wonders!
