Paul Contard MD Dermatology

Unfortunately this practice does not except new patients. No need to be on Unilocal if you’re not considering taking on new patients for your practice

By all accounts, he is a wonderful physician. However, I take exception to the fact that he IS taking new patients, yet his 1^st availability is in September. If someone is a NEW patient, it goes without saying they are experiencing a problem. Who has a dermaologic problem that can wait until SEPTEMBER?! Be honest and say you are not taking new patients — even emergencies! Moreover, having read the reviews on here, I think it’s time that the public stand up and stop allowing doctors to put us through such long wait times. There isn’t a doctor on the planet that I would do that for. If we, the patient community, passively accepts this kind of treatment, it is sure to continue. I try to make doctor appointments before work, after work or take an extended lunch. There are not many of us who have the luxury of taking an entire day off work for a 30 minute doctor visit!

I’ve been a patient of Dr. Contard’s now for several years. Having seen a lot of Dermatologists in the past, I can confidently say that he is the best of the best. He knows about everything skin related, is extremely knowledgeable and personable. Above all else, he is a genuinely kind and generous human being. Recently, I was having issues with my insurance and prescription costs. Dr. Contard was gracious enough to let me see him for less than half the cost (usually it is $ 150 without insurance but his secretary, whom by the way is also super friendly, told me that I could see him for only $ 50.) this is a bargain given all his knowledge of the field. Not only that, but he was big-​hearted enough to give me a bunch of samples to the medications I so desperately needed, but could not afford to get filled at the pharmacy. He didn’t think anything of it, saying that ‘this is what pharmacy reps are for’ but he did not have to give me anything that I technically could not afford to purchase on my own. This act of kindness will not be forgotten which is why I choose to write this review in order to let other people know that there are honest and forthright doctors that still exist. One word of advice to others is be prepared to wait a bit, as well as book an appointment early (there is usually a 3 week to a month wait) yet, I find that is the case with every dermatologist I have gone to. Thank you again so much Dr. Contard and staff!

Great doctor, but here’s a tip: Make the appointment. Get to office, look at the full waiting room and ask when to come back. Come back in 3 hours. Easy! Just understand that if you have a noon appointment you will be seen at 3 – 4 o’clock!

I have been a patient of Dr. Paul Contard for several years and he has helped me tremendously with several issues I’ve had with my skin. He is extremely knowledgeable and well-​read on the latest medical research and innovations. He makes it a point to incorporate what he learns into his practice. As the other reviewer stated, the wait is definitely long, but well worth it. He takes his time and welcomes any questions and concerns you may have, answering each and every one. He is excellent.

Be prepared for a long wait. Yes, he’s worth it. What a pleasant man. You will not feel rushed. This doctor is a people person. He took the time to chit chat and made my nearly 3 yr old son feel very comfortable while he examined him. Wish there were more Dr Contards in the world.

I would highly recommend Dr. Contard if you have any skin problems. He is an excellent Doctor that is attentive and takes his time to diagnose problems correctly. He’s friendly and outgoing, as is his staff.
