Water’s Edge Dermatology

Dr Elias has left the practice. I can’t review any more except to say that Suzie is great

Very nice office and staff. I never met the doctor, only the assistant and she was nice.

Dr Elias has left the practice… Don’t know where as of 01/21/2015…really like my experience with this office otherwise

Visited this dermatology franchise in November for rosacea. Was seen in a reasonable amount of time and give several scripts. Over the holidays, the rosacea went out of control — like a burn victim, I look. Had an appt for the 5^th already scheduled — got a call from the office — the Dr. Elias was leaving the office and they wouldn’t have any Dr. available. Could put me with a nurse-​practitioner on the 12^th, but since my eyes are now affected… wtf? On to a new dermatologist and staying away from big groups since they don’t seem to keep the Dr.‘s. BTW, my insurance lists 4 derm Dr.’ s for this office and none of them, apparently actually work there.

Great office! Susie the office manager was very helpful got me an appointment the same day I called. Every time I come In I’m very happy with my visit. Dr Elias is always super friendly and open with what he thinks is the best option for your skin. If you are looking for a dermatology office in Broward county I would definitely give this office a try :)

I feel so passionately about how absurdly bad my experience was here that I’m actually leaving a Unilocal review! Basically, You’re just treated like a number here, I came in with serious acne concerns on my face and back and the dr never even examined me! He just started writing up prescription number one on his list. No results after 6 weeks of constant use of everything he gave me, just burnt my flesh, but I wanted to be consistent and keep going and give the drs a chance. So next appointment, after waiting literally an hour in the waiting room, as usual, with the rude front desk ladies (that think it’s ridiculous if any ones annoyed at all by the ridiculously inconvenient wait time) I go in, get drilled with a bunch of standardized questions from a nurse that doesn’t even make eye contact with me, dr comes in, talks with me for 3 minutes I tell him no results, he writes me a new stronger prescription and new topical, at this point I know were just testing out whatever new drugs that are trending now, but I wanna be hopeful still and give them the benefit of the doubt, I stick to this treatment for another 2 months! No results, I come back again, aright well write you another prescription! Try this! At this point, with all these random poisons they’re giving me, I’ve probably only increased my cancer risk by 40% and lost my ability to bare children. I will never come back here again, totally impersonal experience that just wasted my time and money and reassured my doubts about prescription drugs. 6 months of guinea pig testing was enough for me, I’ve gotten better results with my own home regimen, drinking water and laying out in the sun.

As I grow older I deal with more and more ‘specialists’ spending a lot of time in doctor’s offices.
From my very first visit to the office of Matthew J. Elias, OD., I have never had a problem. After yesterday’s visit they are still 5 stars. From the receptionist, Susan to the doctor’s assistant Yvette to Dr Elias himself I was treated as a person and not only that but as an intelligent person!
Susan was kind enough to call in a prescription for me, Yvette called me the next day in sort of a follow up and from the first moment to the last Dr. Elias was friendly and positive.
The office is spotless, bright and looks as new as it did the first time I went there.
Coincidence or whatever you call it I just got a call from Yvette offering me a solution to a problem I had regarding one of the medicines DR. Elias.
Going to a doctor’s office is always a chore, and time consuming, but going to the Water’s Edge Dermatology office in Lighthouse Point is a fast, pleasant procedure that makes being old a bit easier.
