My usual Dr was not available so I took an appointment with Pierce Muse. He lacked bedside manner and was quick to just dismiss my problem (by circling the spot saying let me know if redness spreads) until I said it has been 2 weeks now. It was then he looked with a light and magnifier. He then did a debridement. Then he was done. About to leave I had to stop him and remind him I asked about a spot on my face also. He said "well I have another patient to see so wait here". After he He proceeded to do a shave biopsy with little to no prep for me to process this scar now on my face. He repeated "I don't know what it is" with 2 possible. options, as if he was just covering his bases. No warm personal touch that this is a woman's face!! He was rushed. Didn't treat me as a patient with an appointment and lacked any warmth. He corrected his assistant Rachel in front of me which was uncomfirtable for me.

Dr. Muz took the time to answer every question I had, and he did so with great patience and understanding. Even after my appointment had ended, he came back to me to answer more of my questions and concerns. His kindness, patience and professionalism is truly remarkable and I would highly recommend Dr. Muz to anyone in need of skin care.

It was my first visit… everyone was friendly and courteous. I was just there to have some spotless checked. After a review, there were a couple spots I wanted removed. It was quick and painless and I was off to work. Haven’t had any issues but will go back as needed and recommended.

Dr. Muz is excellent! A very friendly and kind physician. During my first visit he took the time to listen and hear all my concerns. He thoroughly explained everything and why he recommended certain treatments. He proceeded with treatment right then and there. He was gentle and talked me through the entire process. He also offered to add on a skin check which was great because I was due and it did not require an additional visit. Certainly recommend Dr. Muz if you are in need of a “do it all” dermatologist!

The staff there were friendly and helpful.My horrible experience is solely because of the visit with Dr.Muz.I waited for him in the room for >20 mins. He eventually made a quick conclusion in a few seconds without even a careful look. He certainly lacks professionalism.He asked me to take off my shirt in front of a female scriber without asking for my consent and that made me very uncomfortable (other reviews have reported similar uncomfortable experiences with him. Wish I had read them first).He is very condescending and disrespectful. He tried to make decisions for patients even when he was not welcome/in a right position to do so. He was judging me and despised my decision when i did not agree with him.He is the worst doctor i have ever seen. I am never gonna visit with him again.

The front desk area, check in/out, is very clean, attractive, and comfortable. My body scan service was completed in a most though-row, efficient, competent, and professional manner. Clean and crisp answers were provided to all my questions.

The negative parts of my experience fully outweigh the positive parts. Up until my time with Dr. Peter Muz, I had a really good experience booking an appointment (it was my first time there), with the receptionist at check in and the assistant taking down my information. I was extremely uncomfortable with the way Dr. Muz looked at my body. He unwrapped my gown without telling me what he was doing- looking at parts of my body entirely unrelated to the reason I was there. When he spoke to me it was dismissive and condescending. I brought a family member with me to the appointment and when she was in the middle of helping me understand a part of what he was saying, he shushed her. I brought her to help me. I am not using either of the prescriptions I told him I didn't want and he prescribed anyway. I picked them up from the pharmacy because I don't want to be labeled as a non compliant patient, but I don't need them and I didn't want them. I will never go back. The most disturbing part was how he made me feel when he unwrapped my gown.

I visited them at their Waltham office on 3rd avenue to get a plantar wart removed. From the time I entered their office, I had a great experience. The receptionist was kind and professional. Dr Muse, who helped with procedure, was amazing. He took the time to explain the procedure, what to expect and finished the procedure quickly. He also offered advise on my other ‘visible’ skin issue. I respect his experience. His staff were very professional as well. I would highly recommend their service.My finger is still numb from the local anesthesia as I type this and I hope the pain won’t be too bad.

Went in for my first and only appointment I’ll ever go there for did not receive help for anything that I went in there for they just told me to go somewhere else when I was leaving I tried to pay my The doctor walked out of his office to tell them that I didn’t have to pay as I had my card in hand and was ready to pay try to still pay because I did not want to receive a bill at my house they told me that I would not within less than one month later the bill is sent to my house I called and tried to resolve it they told me they never said that I don’t know why I would make such a thing up my insurance already paid the outstanding bill I just had a co-pay left over that once again I was told I didn’t have to pay after talking a couple times with the woman in the billing department she seemed like she must have been in a mood on both occasions I talk with his and basically with a stiff attitude told me that I have to pay the co-pay which I will but I definitely do not recommend a flimflam place like this

I had two visits here, first time with Dr. Peter Muz, second one with Dr. Joyce. I highly recommend Dr. Joyce, she is the best!But do not schedule appointments with Dr. Peter Muz unless you want to spend extra money. I went there because I'm not sure if I have vitiligo and I want to check it with a UVB light. But he insisted it's not necessary to do that and he's very confident that it's vitiligo, so he gave me the prescription and asked me for the second visit. Also I didn't feel very comfortable when he examined my body so I changed to Dr. Joyce. Dr. Joyce suggested me to do the UVB light and it turns out that I don't have vitiligo. So I spent extra money to pay the prescription creams and a second visit fee...

Dr Peter Muz is wonderful! First of all he is quite personable and has a nice bedside manner. Very professional. He took the time to listen to all concerns and gather a through history of the presenting problem. He explained anything that was not understood to myself and my 15 yr old son. He was very reassuring and laid out his plan of action going forward, which made sense and he did so clearly. He is very knowledgeable even in areas of other specialties ( ie rheumatolgy ). We went for one issue and he took care of four while we were there, including removal of two suspicious moles with quick precision and care that I doubt there will be scarring! The icing on the cake for myself is that He did what all healthcare providers should do and took the time to coordinate the health care plan going forward with my sons PCP. While we were there. Outstanding care and I highly recommend!

Overall very satisfied with our visit, for my 12 month old. Followed strict Covid safety guidelines it appears. Staff was friendly. The only thing I wish was that they had a regular exam table, not just exam chair, for little kids/babies. Having nowhere really to get him undressed/ dressed/to sit was tough, especially for my wiggly, full of energy little guy.

Dr. Kathleen Joyce is an amalgam of technical expertise, medical wisdom, practicality and warmth. Dermatologic exams are complete and precise covering the entire skin surface without feeling exposed. Her approach to cosmetics is to minimize the downfalls of aging in a nuanced & natural way. I am grateful to have found her.

I was basically a new patient since I had not been seen in 6 or 7 years, but they still got me in quickly. I explained my concerns and my anxiety over my moles because my younger brother had just been diagnosed with melanoma. I met with doctor Joyce, and she was wonderful. She immediately showed empathy for my situation, took her time looking everything over, took extra time with the ones I specially was worried about. Dr. Joyce and her assistant (sorry I can't remember your name) removed 3 moles that day. Her assistant was amazing, gentle, and made sure I was numb enough to not feel a thing. The removal went well, and detailed home care instructions were provided and simple to follow. I had acne also addressed and my GI issues were taken into account to address this issue with medication. Its been a few days and it already looks better!! 10 stars
