Dmitry Khasak, MD

DON’T GO! The WORST doctor I’ve ever met. ZERO manners. Ordered his staff around like dogs. Ordered me the same way. Meds prescribed did NOTHING! NEVER AGAIN!

BEWARE OF THAT «DOCTOR», SAVE YOUR TIME AND YOUR LIVES!!!
Absolutely agree with all previous reviewers. If I have read at least one of the previous reviews before, I would not spent a minute of my time to see that doctor. After more than 3 hours in the waiting room, I finally was invited to his cabinet. I did not have a major problem, only a fungus on my nail. I needed only a prescription to cure it. Instead, he told me to undress and started to inspect my body from head to toes. I felt terrible. It looked like he is trying to find and create an illness. Finally he found a birth mark on my foot and told me, that he is going to take a biopsy. After I refused (I am glad, I did it), he is started to lough at me. His loughing looked like he has a mental disorder, than he told me, that I don’t have brains, I have a melanoma (without taking a biopsy) and my live is coming to the end. He gave me the prescription to treat my nail fungus (I did not try it yet, hope it will help) and what was it. I was in shock after that visit. I have never met such an unprofessional and rude doctor in my life. It was my first and the last visit to dr. Khasak. If I ever will need a dermatologist, it definitely will be someone else.

First time at Dr Khasak’s office and I must say that it was a very bad experience. I called just a day before to schedule an appointment and everything seemed fine, the nurse asked me about my insurance type and insisted that I bring the referral from my primary care which I did. Once there I was surprised to hear from another nurse that they don’t take physical referrals any more and that I had to do it online or through fax. It was really frustrating since I had to call my doctor’s so they can fax the referral which took for ever. One they got the fax I went in expecting to see Dr Khasak Dmetry but it was just his young associate who was available, I could not understand why they didn’t tell this before. Very bad service, can’t recommend this Dr to anyone.

Please stay away. I went to this doctor and instead of treating me he gave me a biopsy and did not stitch it correctly. Now I have a hypopigmented scar on me leg which. I can’t believe this guys is still in business.
Please AVOID.

DON’T GO HERE…
For starters be prepared to wait at least a couple of hours, and please note you may have a chance of not even finding a seat to sit in. Talk about robbery. I can’t stand how this doctor offices want to charge fees for lateness when they can never be on time! over booking.
The nurses that worked there were rude, there is no customer service what so ever.
Be prepared for the worst experience.

Absolutely terrible. I waited for two hours for a routine check up. I should have read the other reviews before. Overall the staff was nice, but it just seems like they fill their schedule way past capacity.
The doctor himself was mediocre.
Definitely going to look for another doctor for my next check up.

Dear Doctor,
I visited you in Forest Hills office on Austin Street and you gave me not valid prescription for Elidel cream.
There is neither your name nor your signature. You left this office so quickly, and I was the last patient, that I could not say to you anything about it.
Participating pharmacy that I called following your recommendation does not accept this kind of prescription, but they are waiting for it from you.
Dear Doctor, please issue and submit the right prescription to the pharmacy you recommended.
Sincerely,
Elena Sultanov

I’ve gone to this doctor twice: an initial appointment and a follow up six months later. The initial was scheduled for an evening slot and was over TWO HOURS late. Figuring that people take longer than expected and he’s overbooked and so on, I scheduled the follow up for 2pm, which is when that office opens. He was an hour and a half late showing up to the office in the first place. I then waited for another 45 minutes for my appointment. No acknowledgment, no explanation, nothing.
Now, about the manner. I am Russian and I’m fine with abrupt. I am not fine with
— Having to ask basic questions repeatedly in order to get necessary information
— Being rushed through the examination, largely perfunctory
— Not receiving an explanation of the procedures about to be performed
— Not receiving directions for provided medication
— The doctor using the informal form of address (in Russian) without so much as asking if that is ok, which is just breathtakingly rude
— Habitual, normalized tardiness of epic proportions
Extremely unprofessional, unhelpful and rude.
He then told his assistants to schedule me for another follow up visit in six months. Ha. No.
I think I might be able to find someone a wee bit more professional for my future healthcare needs.
His front desk staff seemed to be constantly stressed and not terribly well trained in terms of their phone manner, but actually reasonably helpful and civil in person. If only they had a better doctor to work with…

«Doctor» Khasak is a mentally deranged as person and just scary as a doctor.
I took my 96 years old mom to Dr Khasak because she was complaining about papilloma that was on her stomach. She has papillomas all over her body and she had it for years.
Doctor was over 2 hours late. When it was my mom’s turn to see doctor, he did not apologize for lateness. As a business person and not as a doctor, he was in «coveyor belt» mode and saw my mom as another item or «piece of meat» with medical insurance on the belt. He told my mom to remove clothing without even listening why my mom came to his office in the first place. Without explanation of what he is going to do or why, he started to make injections all over my moms body (every where he saw papillomas). When I saw him doing that I asked him repeatedly to STOP!!! According to my mom, I asked him to STOP 6 times and tried to explain why my mom came to his office and what we would like him to do. He cursed me out as a CRAZY person and as OBNOXIOUS BUTCHER he quickly CARVED out pieces out papillomas for biopsies.
My mom and I did NOT want to do biopsies because according to other doctors (including dermatologists), biopsy of contained malignant growth can cause that malignancy to spread all over the body.
I am in the process of filing lawsuit. Meanwhile, I would suggest anyone who thinks to see this DERANGED so called doctor, just don’t.

STAY AWAY! SOME OF THE WORST medical experience in my adult life.
First I waited for over 90 minutes, and probably would have waited more if I didn’t constantly come up to the front desk and eventually stormed out of the office, and they had to convince me to go back in.
The front desk staff is ineffectual, and not caring and downright condescending. I was told (after 1 hour wait) that everyone is waiting, so I should not complain and understand that the doctor is busy. Really?!
Bedside manners — it made me think I am back in the USSR in the 80s, and additionally the doctor had the audacity to tell me it’s ok to wait when he is saving lives, belittling my profession and aggrandizing his. The doctor and his medical assistant are rude in whatever language you speak with them. During my visit we spoke in Russian and both he and his assistant referred to me rather unprofessionally and much too informal for a doctor/​patient exchange.“
The doctor performed the whole «inspection», like I was a piece of machinery, then ordered (not consulted, suggested or informed), ordered, a biopsy of two sites, including one on my face and without waiting much left me with 2 penny size biopsy sites, one on my head another on my back. As I found out later, normally a doctor would suggest a biopsy, give you time to think, make decision and maybe even refer you to go to a plastic surgeon or someone with good skills to perform skin removal on the face! I was basically pressured into biopsy without really giving me a choice or info.
With few prescriptions, 2 minutes later, I was done. Whole thing, less than 10 minutes. No write up, nothing. Prescriptions, direction to go to a local pharmacy (probably getting nice referral agreement) and a follow up appointment in 3 weeks. All that and a ½″ chunk of the skin on my face and back missing.
Stay away, and stand your ground if you happen to be in the office of a «life saver» like this hack.
P. S. I had been to both JC and NYC locations… same experience.

Dmitry has the worst bedside manner of any doctor I have ever met.
He gave scant answers to my questions. He was condescending. And he really didn’t seem to care at all about my concerns or condition.
What irked me the most was that he left smack-​dab in the middle of the conversation and didn’t say a word — just tried to pass me off to his b-​team trainees. It was unbelievably rude. I had to go out into the hall and make him come back into the room to finish the discussion.
This guy wrote the book on how to be an a-​hole doctor.

A very poor experience. The doctors typically run 1 hour behind schedule, the office is tiny so patients have to stand in the waiting room as they wait for the poorly scheduled doctors. The worst part is the horrible patient /​customer service by the front desk staff. One of the main women behind the counter comes off as aggressive, rude and someone that doesn’t really care one way or the other about the patients. I’m not sure if she is the office manager or not but she comes across as it. After going here for a year because it was close to my home, I am finally going elsewhere. As a Board Certified Dermatologist, Dr. Dmitry Khasak should be embarrassed with the lack of quality and professional care that his staff displays. Do yourself a favor and find someone else.

DO NOT GO HERE! The office is dirty. The staff is unprofessional. I have been waiting over a month for ‘abnormal’ biopsy results and no one returns my calls. Now their voice mail box is full. When I finally got a hold of someone they were extremely rude and refused to fit me in for an appointment to pick up my results so I can take them elsewhere. DISGUSTING.

If you are willing to wait 2 hours+ and do not value your time, see this doctor. He arrived one hour late to the appointment and had many people waiting. I had to leave after waiting a long time and still did not see the doctor.
I will never come back again!!!

I would not recommend this Dermatologist office at all. I decided to go to this Dr because his office is located near my apt and he is in my health care network.
They are unprofessional on the phone and not helpful. It was very difficult to schedule an appointment with them and they were not clear on what their office insurance requirements were upfront which caused a lot of extra work on my end that would have been avoided. The location is extremely convenient, right outside the Newport/​Pavonia PATH stop. The waiting room is tiny and cramped. The room the Dr brought me into felt dirty and I was glad I wasn’t having any procedures done.
I wouldn’t say I was given inferior care I just didn’t feel good coming here and I won’t be coming back.
