Schweiger Dermatology Group - Alameda

How hard it is to schedule an appointment, First try online schedule appointment everything great. The insurance covers they work with my insurance no problem and then receive a message. Say the doctor don’t accept my insurance specific. So I tried to call multiple times extremely hard to connect with someone there. Give me help see what doctor is available. How can reschedule? Seems like a scam. Don’t recommend at all. The patient has the pass for all these trouble. It’s not worth the time.

I have been meaning to post this message for some months. Dr. Bloom is a fraud. I received botox treatment twice from him with absolutely 💯 % no results. I truly believe it was either saline or just syringes with nothing in it. At $400 + dollars cash for those two visits he got paid. I have received botox before when living in Los Angeles, I know what to expect. Dr. Bloom owes me big time and he should be ashamed. I also came in to speak with him about it, seriously it was a disgusting visit! He needs to retire for sure, he is a huge fraud!!

DO NOT COME HERE UNLESS YOU ARE WHITE. RUDE STAFF AND DR TALKS TO YOU WITH HIS BACK TURNED, NO EYE CONTACT OR COMPASSION AT ALL. I would give this place 0 stars. I had called a month in advance to make an appointment with a referral. The lady on the phone scheduled me for an appointment. On the day of the appointment, she said that there was no appt with my name and I told her that I spoke a month ago and had it on my calendar. The asian lady with glasses was rude and racist. She told me to fill out forms on the tablet and to sit down. After waiting almost 50 minutes, I arrived at 10AM, I asked how much longer I needed to wait. She said soon. And told her coworker "I told her to wait until 11:40AM" even though she didn't tell me. I immediately got up and said, she didn't tell me I had to want until 11:40 and front desk asian lady with glasses stayed quiet. She was discriminating me based on my racial profile and with the white patients she would be laughing and attending them. Dr. Bloom introduced himself and was talking to us with his back facing us. Not professional at all. He said I would need a shot but didn't explain the process until we had to sign a waiver for procedure to be done. I said I will not sign until my questions were answered.

Dr. Bloom was very short, disinterested, looked at my face for about 3 seconds, didn’t ask any questions other than how long have I been dealing with the issue, assumed all my previous doctors were male, I had to ask for him to actually take a thorough look at my face and he just pulled out a magnifying glass for 5 seconds. Now that I think of it he never even said hello just was very short and rude and said I’m Dr.Bloom sir over there (which I don’t see the problem with where I was sitting). He only asked if I drank milk, didn’t ask any other questions to try and figure out what the problem was. Pulled out a paper with a list of Amazon products with no explanation from him of what they will do for me and said go get these and I’m sending some other stuff to the pharmacy. The whole appointment was less than 5 minutes. He didn’t seem like he wanted to be there treating patients at all. The receptionist was nice but that’s the only positive thing I have to say for this practice. I will not return and I don’t trust the health of my skin with anyone who is this.

Dotor Ernest Bloom look at my condition for 3 seconds told me I had eczema and recommended mud soap and some kind of ointment. I don't believe the diagnosis, nothing he gave me helped. I would never go back to this doctor ever again.
