We compared 14 dermatologists in Buffalo on Google Maps · 5 listed · How we rank

Ratings for dermatologists in Buffalo are tight, running from 4.7 to 5.0, but the review counts behind them are not: 126 for a physician at a cancer center, 3,226 for the largest general practice. That gap says more than the stars do, and so does the type of visit you need, because the practices below range from acne and eczema to melanoma surgery.

Short answer: WNY Dermatology in Williamsville has the deepest track record, at 4.7 stars across 3,226 Google reviews. The Neiman Dermatology Building (4.9, 1,057 reviews) and Robert Kalb, MD (4.9, 580 reviews) sit higher on rating, while Gyorgy Paragh, MD at Roswell Park holds a 5.0 on 126 reviews. Fees vary by visit type and insurance, so ask for details when you book.

Reading the scorecards

Every number here is taken from public Google data on the date shown. Rating is the live star average, and review volume is how many patients have rated the practice. Confidence weighs the rating by that volume, which is why a 4.7 from thousands can outrank a 5.0 from a few hundred. Recency reflects how recently people still leave reviews. No business can pay to change these numbers.

What do dermatology visits cost in Buffalo? (2026)

We haven’t listed prices, because none of these practices publish a verified fee schedule in the data we reviewed. Cost depends on whether the visit is medical or cosmetic, since insurance usually covers one and not the other, plus the length of the appointment and any procedure. Ask each office what your insurance covers, and what a cosmetic service costs before you book it.

Where these practices are located

These practices sit in Williamsville, on Youngs Road, on Main Street in Amherst and at Roswell Park on Elm Street in Buffalo, with a second DeLuke Dermatology office on Kenmore Avenue. Looking for a dermatologist near me in Buffalo? Each listing has a phone number and directions.

What to ask before booking a dermatologist

  • Which of your providers will I see, and is the visit with a physician or a physician assistant or nurse practitioner?
  • Do you accept my insurance, and is this visit billed as medical or cosmetic?
  • How long is a standard appointment, and can I raise more than one concern?
  • How soon can I be seen for a new spot or a changing mole?
  • What is your late-arrival and cancellation policy?

Frequently asked questions

Will I see the doctor or another provider?

Reviews of several practices here mention visits with physician assistants or nurse practitioners, so ask who you will see when you book.
