Monica Halem, MD

I've been struggling with adult acne FOREVER. I've seen multiple specialists and none have ever been able to help me long-term. Dr. Halem is the first dermatologist who really listened to my problems and worked with me to find a skincare regiment that worked for me. She's a a miracle worker, and her staff are super outgoing and friendly!

Pleasant, painless, quick and professional only begin to describe the positive experience
at Dr Halem's office. The entire team was warm natured, personable and engaging throughout my visit. The surgical procedure went perfectly.
From initial consultation, to post follow, I have only good things to say.

I had an aggressive tumor on my face. The surgery went fine, no pain and the results are phenomenal. The work Dr. Halem did was incredible and I only have a very small scar. Since surgery I follow up with Dr. Halem on a monthly basis to make sure my face is healing properly and if any adjustments need to be made.

I went in for lip augmentation for the first time with Dr. Halem. Dr Halem did a great job. I love the way my lips look and feel. So natural. The staff is wonderful and friendly. Very accommodating. Dr. Halem was so kind and warm, it was very comforting. I will be referring my friends to my new dermatologist.

I find it hard to believe that we are talking about the same dermatologist on some of the reviews posted! I came to Doctor Halem because I was bothered by my big pores, brown spots and I wasn't happy with my face at all. She recommended me a chemical peel which worked out amazingly! She explained me the whole process of it which made me feel totally comfortable about it. Since chemicals are being applied to my face I was a little bit scared about it, but Dr.Halem made me feel secure and is surely the best decision I've made. I am very happy with the way my face looks now,. Throughout the process the nurses were very attentive and they gave me all the instructions of what I needed to do after my treatment. The next day after my peel Dr.Halem called me to check how was I doing. I really liked Dr.Halem and her staff they were all very professional. I totally recommend this doctor and actually I will be bringing my sister for an appointment so she could help her with her acne problems.

Dr. Halem was excellent! She answered all of my questions and concerns and was extremely knowledgeable. I was seen right away. She is extremely easy to speak with and takes the time to ensure you are completely comfortable. I've experienced excellent results under her treatment; staff was also very helpful and friendly. I would highly recommend Dr. Halem!!

In a word, the experience was: awful. The first impression one gets with Halem's office is being placed on hold for at least two minutes. After a confusing conversation, one finally gets an appointment. While at the office, you will wait anywhere from 30 minutes to an hour, depending on whether or not engineer work is being done to the two phones the office has, so they can confirm insurance. Halem will strip you down to conduct a skin test, and will urge you to purchase her personal products.

Here is where it starts getting TERRIBLE. If you need any assistance from her nurse, don't count on actually receiving your prescription for at least one MONTH. In order to get the prescription, I spent at least 15 hours going to Pharmacies, waiting on hold, contacting my insurance company, calling the office back, etc. I had to go to three pharmacies, FIVE times.

Every step was challenging. The worst experience I have ever had with a doctor's office. I strongly encourage that you save yourself time, energy, and money.
