Weston Dermatology Ctr

I have had body acne since before I hit puberty. Something my mother always neglected to treat. At age 20 and with health insurance I wanted to seek out a dermatologist who was nearby. Sterling was nearest and I made an appointment. He saw me on the scheduled time. There was only one thing that concerned me about the visit. My body acne is located on my rear, back, and breasts. Without a nurse in the room he asked me to show him. At this point I felt uncomfortable but I trusted his statement as a professional doctor and didn't think to question it. Now that I am looking back I just felt it was extremely inappropriate. Something else is that he didn't explain what it was that was causing it. He gave me a prescription and did not say how long it will take to treat. He just told me to take the pills and rub the cream. It has been a year and I still have the body acne and I never went back to him. I did see another dermatologist about this same issue and it wasn't explained very well to me this visit with this doctor neither. I know someone who had the same body acne I have but it was on their face. She said it took four months of pills and cream. What the other doctor explained to me was that it was a bacteria in the skin that will take time to treat and will possibly leave scars. more

I went to see Dr. Sterling because I had bad acne on my face, and to remove a small cyst just below my cheek by my jaw. Dr Sterling provided me with the right medication along with special face cleansers for my acne. He also removed the cyst which left me without a visible scar!! My acne cleared up within a 4-6 week period.. I have never been happier!! I was afraid I would get scars from either the acne or the cyst and to my surprise, my face is scar free! I would like to say that not only is Dr Sterling super talented, as he really knows his stuff, but he is super nice!!\r I highly recommend him and would not hesitate to return to him if I ever have a future dermatology problem. more

Title: Basal Carcinoma treatment Review: I was treated by Dr. Glenn Sterling seven months ago. After a positive biopsy for basal carcinoma, Dr. Sterling assured me that the procedure he would perform would cure my cancer with 99% certainty. I was given no other information about the treatment or alternative treatments. During the procedure, Dr. Sterling was talking with his assistant about a cosmetic procedure that he performed on the assistant's mother and her level of satisfaction with it. It was unprofessional to have this discussion during my visit, as I felt that he was trying to sell cosmetic services and led me to feel uncomfortable. I went back to Dr. Sterling after 6 months, and unfortunately the cancer came back. Dr. Sterling wanted to repeat the procedure he initially performed, again stating that with 99% certainty the cancer would be cured. I felt that this was not an accurate statement backed up by evidence, and that I was not given full information to make an informed decision regarding my treatment. After researching basal carcinoma on the Internet, I told Dr. Sterling that I had learned of a procedure called mohs surgery. Only at this point did he explain this alternative treatment to me (where after removing each layer, a check is performed to see if the cancer is fully removed), and in fact admitted that he sent his mother, who had a similar issue, to a different physician for this procedure. At this stage, I felt uncomfortable and concerned regarding the care I received under Dr. Sterling as I was not fully informed about my options as a patient. I’d also like to note that when I went to see a different physician for the mohs procedure, a full check up on my body was performed. This check up resulted in finding another area on my face that was infected with skin cancer. Dr. Sterling did not perform a full check up nor examine me for additional infected skin. Not only does this very absence seem neglectful, but the fact that he never mentioned the necessity to have this done is seriously troubling. All in all, I am deeply concerned about the level of care I received under Dr. Sterling, both due to unprofessional behavior and the withholding of critical information that may have impacted my treatment decision. Pros: location (weston) Cons: unprofessional behavior more

I'm a guy. I don't like going to doctors. Dr. \r Sterling made it as quick and painless as possible. I wish ther were more like him Pros: Nice office, short wait time more

i only had to wait 8 minutes to be seen. He has a very nice staff. Good with my kids Pros: very professional more

This is a busy office but Dr. Sterling has never rushed treatment of my wife and 2 children during many visits over 4 years. He's a regular guy but has been great to my family. highly recommended! Pros: very professional, he spends time with you. great with my kids Cons: busy schedule and small waiting room more

I have known dr sterling for 13 years. He recently treated my six-year-old daughter. He was very kind to her and spent time with us until he reached a diagnosis. We were seen at the appointment time and his staff was very friendly and good with my daughter. Most physicians run in and out of the exam room in 2 minutes. I was impressed with the amount of time he spent with my daughter. Pros: You won't be treated like a number in this practice. more

My children and I have been patients for more than 10 years. While most offices today are impersonal, my family has always been treated with caring and concern. For an emergency, I was seen right away, properly diagnosed with what was misdiagnosed by my primary care doc and Dr. Sterling even called the pharmacy to make sure the medication was filled properly. Pros: Great doctor, nice staff and office, very responsive more
