Linda Cappiello, MD

I visited Dr Cappiello on a Sat afternoon and had a short wait. She was very nice, professional, and thorough. I went in with two things I wanted her to look at, and she took time to check other areas and explain everything she saw. She prescribed a couple things that were successful in clearing my problems in the time she expected. She was more thorough than my previous dermatologist, who was referred by my primary, & I’ll go back to her if needed.
I took off one star because she doesn’t accept credit cards.

I’ve had to see Dr. Cappiello a few times over the years, and she’s not only a great dermatologist, she’s simply one of the best doctors you’ll ever work with, particularly if you have a worrisome condition. Not only does she spend as much time as necessary in her office, but she will also call you later with test results and do whatever it takes to put your mind at ease, and to give you detailed explanations as to what your test results mean.
As for people here giving her low points for wait times or insurance issues, I’m not sure what went wrong there, as I’ve never waited more than 10 or fifteen minutes (usually under), and her staff has always been very knowledgeable.
The only downside is that she has limited Hoboken hours, but in my opinion, it’s worth waiting to see her. A few years ago, I remember commenting to her on the phone that I wasn’t used to such comprehensive and compassionate care from a doctor, and she said that this kind of follow-​up had been a big part of her training. She’s just a wonderful doctor… and person.

Useless and complete waste of my time.
Had to wait for 45min in the lobby. Was in the office for 5min. The Dr. could not help me, gave a reference to someone who can– 3 towns over… Got billed $ 95.
Worst. Doctor. Ever.

Dr. Cappiello’s office is very out of date, along with her dermatology methods. Her exam room is cluttered and messy. When I visit a doctor, I expect a clean, sterile environment. She has awful bedside manner; quick and abrasive. I felt like I was being spoken down to. Also, not to be superficial, but why would I want to see a dermatologist who very obviously does not take care of her own skin!!!
Update: Her office staff is very nice and helpful! Also, I walked by the office and it looks like it is under construction. Hopefully moving forward.

Don’t go here! I called before I went to make sure Dr. Cappiello accepted Oxford, was told yes and later found out I was misled and lied to when received a bill for the appointment. I paid my copay when I was at the office. Called Oxford when I received the bill and was told Dr. Cappiello does not participate with Oxford! Called the office and was hung up on twice when asked why this had happened. Was told to write a letter, did so and received a letter back from Linda not even addressing anything I had in the letter. Now I am taking this matter up with an attorney. Stay tuned!

I was a patient of Dr. Cappiello’s for a couple of years. In my experience, out of the 5 – 6 dermatologists I’ve seen over the last 20 years she’s pretty good. I even continued to see her after I moved from Hoboken into the City, until I could find another dermatologist there.
I especially appreciated that she didn’t keep her patients waiting long, the billing was efficient and correct, and her office staff were professional and friendly.
