Reviews of City Derm NYC: Catherine Ding, MD (Doctor)

Alexis Di Gregorio

I've had two appointments with this doctors office. I've been checked in and seen in a timely manner, and everyone is very knowledgable and attentive to your needs as a patient. Dr. Christine Ding is very transparent with you and I highly recommend.

Risilda Laho

Dr. Ding office is full of unserviced staff. They are unresponsive over the phone and email. Dr. Ding is constantly finding excuses of why the prescription are not submitted and she is not clear on how to make insurance appeals. This office is full of excuses and very less work.

Margot Kent

I recently visited the CityDerm NYC office and was very impressed. The office is bright and cheerful and the staff is knowledgable and friendly which put me at ease. Skin problems can be embarrassing and upsetting, but Dr. Ding is not only patient but also kind and understanding. I would highly recommend CityDerm NYC to everyone.

Really wonderful doctor. She has great bedside manner and really is attentive to her patients. She’s very thorough when doing my cancer screenings -and did a great job removing my melanoma.

Dr. Ding is always looking out for your specific problems and appropriate ways to fix them. Her and her staff are pretty much the nicest people you’ll ever meet.

Dr. Ding is approachable and knowledge. She takes the time to diagnose your condition and outline the treatment plan. I did not feel rushed or embarrassed to ask my many skin questions. Not only did she answer all the questions, but she also ended the visit by asking if I had any other skin concerns (which I did). She quickly created a treatment plan for them, and I am excited to start both treatment plans this week.

Dr Ding is marvelous. She is insightful, perceptive, and offers her expertise generously. Her office staff are a delight. She is professional, yet accessable and very personable. My young adult son says she is a fountain of compassion! Go see her if you have ANY concerns.

Dr. Ding is an amazing doctor. She addressed my concerns quickly and professionally, and was very warm mannered - she made me feel comfortable to speak with her! Since my first appointment last year, my skin has seen huge strides in improvement. I'm excited to continue my skincare journey with her office.

Was seen about 20 minutes after my appointment time. Dr. Ding is awesome. Answered all of my questions and is very easy to talk to. I would definitely recommend and see her again in the future.

Baby/toddler friendly environment. Great customer service from the front desk. Clean and professional. Dr. Ding is amazing and personal, providing great advice and good follow up visit. Helped with my son's eczema which is gone! And I am working on adult acne. Highly recommend.

James Jones

Dr. Ding and her staff are courteous and professional. I have never had anything but a great experience, not to mention the actual experience of my treatment (6 months on isotretinoin after our initial consultation, and my skin is completely clear). Couldn't be more pleased.

Marty Allen

Dr. Ding is very knowledgeable, and has amazing bedside manner. I have had to go to many dermatologists since I was 11 for my skin, and she is one of the best doctors that I have had.

Maria Math Tutor

Dr Catherine Y. Ding is very kind, humble and knowledgeable. She successfully performed a cist removal on the eyebrow. I was little disappointed with prices for face lotions. They tried to charge us more than was the initial price. She should have more flexible front desk representatives. I highly recommend doctor Ding.

Amazing. Thoughtful. Attentive. Informative. Brilliant

I had a red rash on neck and my PCP said it was eczema, so I was prescribed a steroid cream to treat it. At first the rash went away but then it came back and started spreading rapidly. That's when i decided to search up dermatologist in chinatown via zocdoc. It was my first time going to dermatologist. I went in without an appointment and was seen very quickly. The office was clean and bright. Dr. Ding was very professional, knowledgeable, and well mannered. She examined my condition with a special flashlight and diagnose it was Tinea versicolor. I had a few more questions which Dr. Ding answered in detailed. My rash is now gone and hasn't return. I am very satisfy with my visit to Dr. Ding.

Better Days

Very comfortable. Staff was great, short waiting time.

SH Yoon

Pretty darn good experience. I almost took off one star due to not writing instructions on two creams given, which I will just need to call her office. Fast intake & friendly staff. Can't believe she is so easy to get hold of. Will likely change soon.

Regan O'Connell

My visits to Dr. Ding's office always exceed my expectations. The staff is knowledgeable and helpful and I always feel that Dr. Ding gives her full attention and care during the appointment. I recommend to friends and family.

David DSM

I waited 1 hour at the front desk just because nobody told me to fill out papers, when I thought that the scheduled appointment was enough.

Scott Starrett

I was misled in regards to the cost of a very brief biopsy procedure. I inquired about the cost and I was told a price. I then asked two unrelated questions to the biopsy and was given the answer and told subsequently that I would have to pay for that answer. I understand that a doctor's time is valuable but there's a fine line between caring for someone's health and commoditizing curiosity or concern. I would have preferred a menu of costs per question or a disclaimer to the charges prior to the MD providing an answer. This is tantamount to asking for a refill on a soda or chips and salsa at a restaurant only to find out that the establishment charges for refills... after the fact. $220 seemed steep for a 10 minute visit with a small biopsy and two brief questions, but I wouldn't have taken the time to complain until I received the additional bill in the mail from the lab for $110. Nobody even hinted that lab costs weren't included in the $220. It's not about money, it's about the ethically questionable need for a patient to actively defend against the financial incentives of a healthcare professional and healthcare workers letting good customer service go by the wayside in a situation in which they have the professional leverage. I prefer transparency and humanism in my healthcare professionals over transactional opportunism. It felt like going to the dentist.

I absolutely adore Dr. Ding! Not only is she professional and knowledgable, she is super sweet! Been dealing with acne my entire life and after seeing her reviews I made an appointment. Trust me, I tried every medication and seen other dermatologists but this was the ultimate worst my skin has ever looked! Whatever she prescribe worked! Within a few weeks I could see a huge difference! Still working with her and I’m so excited for the results! Thank you Dr. Ding your work is truely making a difference!

Krishna S

Dr. Ding is incredible. She always puts me at ease and ensures that I'm always comfortable! Her staff is ALWAYS helpful and super friendly. I've never ever had a wait that lasted longer than 5 minutes here! I've recommended her to all of my friends and colleagues. If you're looking for your next derm, let it be her! She's wonderful, knowledgeable and will most definitely put your mind at ease. Her office is impeccably clean & welcoming. It's also super easy to get an appointment (as she is one of the few that has an office open on Saturdays!) I can't recommend her enough!!

Gene L. Terry

The staff was patient and efficient. The wait time was short. Dr. Ding listen carefully and explained everything and answered all my questions clearly and completely.

Mistral Hay

Dr. Ding and her staff are extremely professional and warm. The wait time is very short. Dr. Ding also seems to deeply care about whatever your specific issues that you are there for, and takes plenty of time to answer any questions you have. I have had two appointments there, and both times I have been very satisfied with my visits. She was even able to see me last minute on the same day I booked an appointment. I highly recommend!

christian trujillo

I just find the visits very rushed. & i ask questions but she seems to not want to help or recommend anything.

Denise Sharek

I saw Dr. Ding for a spot on my back that wouldn't heal. I was thrilled she could take me the next day and accepted my insurance. The office is very nice, it's new and clean. The staff is very friendly and I waited no more than ten minutes after arriving for my appointment. Dr. Ding's nurse assistant greeted me and asked all the questions regarding my spot. Dr. Ding arrived within a few minutes and was very sweet and super knowledgeable. She explained in detail what was going on and prescribed a creme that stopped the itching. She answered all of my questions including ones non-related to my problem. Dr.Ding spent close to 45 minutes with me, I didn't feel rushed and had a great experience. I definitely plan to continue to use Dr. Ding in the future and highly recommend her. I was beyond pleased!

Vijchika Udomsrianan

Love Dr. Ding! She is so thorough and sweet. I moved to another state and still come back to see her when I'm in NY for my annual.

Katherine Wright

Everyone was so kind and helpful. I felt like Catherine really listened to me and answered all my questions. She also took time to patiently explain the medications I was prescribed and made sure I understood everything. I will feel very comfortable coming back here for any future needs. Highly recommend this place!

ingmarc McKenzie

Honestly, this was my first time going to a dermatologist and my experience could not have been better. The Dr. Ding is very informative and thorough and really makes sure you understand all the ins and out of whatever affliction you may have and the subsequent treatment. The best part is that its all explained in a very easy to understand manner. With that being said, i highly recommend this place.

Karrina Brown

I swear by Dr Ding and her staff. The office is clean, staff professional and knowledgeable and thorough. I've been to tons of dermatologists for my acne and Hailey Hailey (genetic skin disorder).Dr Ding never made me feel like an "animal in a zoo".She always remained optimistic about each medicine she prescribed and the subsequent treatment. She always comforted me despite me feeling overwhelmed with my skin condition. You can not put a price tag on a wonderful doctor. I thank God for Dr Ding and recommend her to all!!!

Andrea Totty

I was very pleased with City Derm NYC. I found them on ZocDoc and booked my appointment based on reviews from that site. The location was well lit, elegant, clean and pleasant to be in. I came in for a consultation for acne and eczema. Everyone I dealt with from beginning to end was friendly yet professional. Dr. Ding has a lovely bedside manner and I wasn't embarrassed to show her how awfully blotchy my skin was. FYI they offer cosmetic services as well to maintain your J-Lo glow, lol. I'm looking forward to starting an "adult" skin care regimen. Thank you Dr. Ding & Staff.

short wait time, excellent care - it feels like she really listens and my skin is definitely getting better. i've been to 3 derms before her and i like her the best

Jerkis

She’s a great doctor!

JT Cen

Doctor Ding treated me for a thermal burn on my leg. She recognized that my weeping wound was due to an allergic reaction to overuse of OTC Neosporin and prescribed another antibiotic along with a rash cream. The weeping wound cleared up after I stopped applying Neosporin. The staff and doctor Ding are very friendly and personable. There is a lack of good dermatologist in downtown, Manhattan, so I'm happy that doctor Ding chose to open her practice in the area. Also, the practice provides a lot of free skin care samplers too, which is an added bonus.

Scott Shapiro

Very quick, painless, and professional care. Dr. Ding is polite and communicative and I would definitely recommend.
