Dr. Daniel Rivlin, MD - Miami Beach (FL)

5 /5 Bonnie Salkow: How blessed I was to be referred to Dr. Daniel Rivlin for basal cell cancer on my nose! What a WONDERFUL doctor and STAFF!! The office was fabulous not to mention there were picturesque views over Biscayne Bay from every room. All the rooms were spotlessly clean! I never waited more than 4 minutes for an appointment! Everything was explained to me first and there was no pain during or after the procedures. 3 layers of skin needed to be removed from my nose and then I needed a skin graft with skin taken from the back of my ear and put on the tip of my nose. I was given clear instructions how to care for my wound, went to my follow up appointments, and followed the instructions that were given to me. Im beyond grateful to say that Im cancer free today and have learned my lesson to wear sunscreen daily! I believe my nose looks even BETTER NOW than it did before the surgeries! Ive heard horror stories of Mohs surgery without skin grafts not to mention with them! It was a gift to have such a skilled surgeon and staff helping me through what could have been a nightmare of an experience! Parking was easy as could be. There isnt one bad thing I could say about this exceptional Doctor, his staff, or the office!! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THEM!!!

1 /5 Bill Moushey: I was told Dr. Rivlin was an excellent Mohs surgeon after I was diagnosed with melanoma. I was a bit concerned when told Id have to wait 5-6 weeks for an appointment. Despite the delay, I made an appointment for Aug 3. I completed forms (with insurance information) and spoke with someone in the office in advance of the appointment. I was told on arrival that my insurance did not cover the surgery. The response-- sorry but it will cost you as much as $10,000. Horrible, insensitive and incompetent treatment. Shame on them! My advice if you go there (dont), check your insurance (I have aetna that is covered throughout S. Fla). I will never return!

5 /5 Daniel T. Shepherd: Dr. Rivlin, his surgical staff and his Mount Sinai office staff were all excellent and above my expectations. His primary surgical nurse, Chris, and the other surgical assistance were very professional, compassionate and caring . From my recent surgery, I would recommend, without qualifications, anyone needing dermatological surgery using Dr. Daniel Rivlin as their surgeon. He removed an approximate nickel sized area of suspected melanoma between my eyebrows with virtually no discomfort. This was obviously in a very conspicuous area of my face, but healed rapidly and with virtually no scarring. I was pleasantly surprised (not having known of Dr. Rivlin before) and am totally satisfied with the results. If I have any further need for this type of surgery, if possible, I will definitely use Dr. Daniel Rivlin, MD.

5 /5 Hope Gainer: I have to say Dr. Daniel Rivlins dermatology office is top notch. From the initial phone contact with their receptionist and scheduling person, so efficient, friendly and helpful. I got an appointment quickly, my insurance was approved immediately, my first and follow appointments were punctual never waiting in waiting room for more than a few minutes. The nurse, Ashley is super friendly and tells you ever step of the way what is happening. Dr. Rivlin is professional and experienced at his craft. His resident, Jennifer was great too, even calling me at home the evening after surgery and allowing me to reach out anytime to her cel. Each time Jen answered within minutes reassuring me that my concerns were normal reactions to my surgery. Plus, the office was set up well for social distancing in both the waiting room and patient treatment rooms, all with a bonus of the Biscayne Bay view. A+++ for this medical office and team!

1 /5 Elaine Lancaster: I Was told by my insurance company Everything would be covered for my visit, but I’d be responsible for a $60.00 Co-pay. I specifically asked about burning or freezing off the small area in question. I was told Yes that was included, everything except injections. I was made aware by my PCP two days prior the rough spot was just age related not to worry, so my intent was to just get it removed. Doctor Rivlin strolls in, looks through his microscopic glasses and rattled off, that’s (some medical terminology) it’s nothing and starts to leave the room. I asked if he would remove it & he quipped, for $110.00 dollars. When I did not agree he walked out of the office. He was in the room for less 2 minutes to tell me something I was already made aware by my primary care physician. He blamed my insurance company for the misunderstanding. Florida Blue said they were correct he was in the wrong and opened a complaint. Just wanting to give everyone a heads up to the seemingly Bait & Switch practices.
