Adolfo Fernandez-Obregon MD

Unfortunately this is the only dermatology office covered by my insurance. I tried the dr three times for a minor skin problem. I had to wait weeks to get an appointment, the last was cancelled and I never followed up to rebook. It’s impossible to get a simple prescription refilled. An appointment always has to be made. At least an hour wait each time I visited and dr spent less than 10 minutes in examining room. throws a few free samples at me, and tells me to follow up with another appointment. All about bringing in money here and no patient care. Avoid this place.

Rude staff (guy named Joshua very condescending), long wait times, never return pharmacy refill requests. Not worth your time.

Even when I was the FIRST PATIENT of the day, I STILL had to wait an hour to see this guy. Is he back there drinking coffee all day? Why can’t they get their appointment system right? It ain’t rocket science.
There were even times when I asked if I could go home and come back, as I knew the wait would be over an hour, and they said no. What’s weird, too, is that never that many people are in the waiting room to see him. And it’s not like he spends an inordinate amount of time with you, which might explain the backlog. He gives you the usual once-​over, chats a bit, and you’re out in five or ten minutes. So why the interminable waits?
Seriously, if you have a condition that will require multiple treatments, you’ll be slowly driven insane by the wait times. There’s only so many magazines a waiting patient can read. Hoboken has an awesome dermatologist (see my review), so there’s no reason to go here.

Always keeps you waiting for at least an hour … No idea how their appointment system works but if you need an punctual doctor look elsewhere.

Absolutely disgusted. My mother had MELANOMA and the Dr. was aware of this and dispite this knowledge he gave me the quickest examination. He actually told me to have the hair dresser examine my scalp. This guy should LOSE HIS LICENSE to practice. I would have no problem waiting for an appointment with a good Dr. I am disgusted that he actually takes people health into his hands… Disgusting.

I have been coming to see Dr. Fernandez-​Obregon for a couple of years now.
I had a small red dot on the inside of my left ankle. It was getting irritated and had to be removed. I thought The doctor was very nice and very professional.
Upon reading other reviews, I agree the wait times can be a little long. But, since I have a somewhat flexible schedule at work the wait times are not so bad in the mornings of my appointment. They are close enough that I can take a cab from my house.
As far as the staff goes, I had an appointment last year right around the time of Hurricane Sandy. Needless to say his office was closed being in Hoboken and the phone lines being down. His staff actually called me from a personal cell phone to explain the situation and reschedule my appointment. They always have been courteous and kind to me. I still go back every three or four months for follow ups.

If you have all day to waste sitting in a waiting room, this is your kind of place. This is my 7^th visit to this office and I have never waited less than an hour. There is really no appointment system it is essentially a walk in clinic where you need an appointment to get in. The doctor has very limited appointments available as they are closed several days a week. This is my first time writing a Unilocal review. I figured why not, I have a few hours to kill while I sit In the waiting room. Tonight they asked me if I could come in at 5 for my 550 appointment so I shifted my work schedule around to be here. It’s 20 after 6 now and there are still people ahead of me.
Just be aware of this if you are shopping around for a Dermo in the Hoboken area.

They need to figure out a better appointment system. I got in and saw the doctor 3 hrs past my appt time! What’s the point of making an appointment in the first place?!
The doctor didn’t really listen to my concern and for the most part talked over me. Will NOT be coming back.

Wow. They couldn’t verify my insurance and tried to tell me I just didn’t have any (yeah, okay.) I also had to wait a very long time to see the doctor. When he finally came in, I explained that I wanted a nicer complexion, and he prescribed me spironolactone, not telling me that it can cause all kinds of side effects AND may interact with an important medicine I take. You know what, I think I’ll go somewhere else.

Before even being able to make an appointment at this office, you need to fill out a form and fax it to them/​drop it off (no email), along with a copy of your insurance card, so that you are in their system. Seems like a lot of effort to make an appointment when this information is something that other doctors have you fill out while waiting to be seen. I was there a few years ago and was not very impressed anyway, so I will not be returning.

The office is dirty, and the wait to see Dr. Obregon is interminable. Once he finally does see you, he is rushed. He is not a good listener and even rude. I will not be going back.

Dr. Obregon removed freckles from the tip of my friend’s nose after other doctors told her it was not possible without scarring. He surgically removed scar tissue from the bridge of my nose after other doctors told me to leave it. We both got perfect results! The staff and hours aren’t great but I highly recommend this doctor for any minor skin surgery. Seems very knowledgable and skilled. His hours and staff can be annoying but it’s worth it.

I have seen Dr. Obregon 3 times and it was for never more than 5 minutes per session. I have not seen any significant difference with the treatment.
The waiting list to get an appointment is very long and when you get there you can wait past your appointed time well over 45 minutes (longest has been 1 hour 15 for me)
I recently had to cancel an appointment due to work and the receptionist said she was going to charge me the $ 25 cancellation fee, even though I was trying to reschedule. It may have had something to do with telling me that there was no one in the office, which may imply that they wanted $$$ due to lack of people on that day. This is inconsistent with other times I have done the exact same thing (needing to cancel and re-​schedule) without incurring a cancellation fee.
I will not be going back to Dr. Obregon’s office.
