Dr. Debra Joy Wattenberg, MD

While a good doctor, Debra Wattenberg has terrible bedside manner. She has been rude to me and my family members on every visit we have had with her. Perhaps her judgmental comments work to make patients insecure about their looks so that they'll sign up for more treatments, but they didn't work on me. Save yourself the attitude and see another doctor.

Dr. Deborah J Wattenberg has always treated me with the best and most comprehensive care that I could wish for. Thank you.

I have had great results with Dr. Wattenberg. She is very professional and personable. She explains each procedure and is realistic about results. I would highly recommend her to anyone who is looking to improve their skin health.

I contracted a Staph infection after getting fraxel at Dr. Wattenberg’s practice. The culture she took came back positive for a type of Staph that is resistant to both Doxycycline and Clindamycin... yet she prescribed be both of those drugs - either knowing they would do NOTHING to help my Staph, or because she neglected to read the culture results. I took those drugs for nearly 2 months with the Staph infection getting increasingly worse before I got a second opinion, where they immediately reacted with shock at the oversight and mishandling of my case. My Staph has caused scarring on my face. Several months later I am still trying to heal, self conscious about my appearance and embarrassed that I didn’t act sooner in getting a second opinion. Dr. Wattenberg assures me that she only prescribed me Doxycycline for acne... but my culture clearly stated I had a Staph infection, not acne, and it was resistant to Doxycycline. Her bedside manner is stiff, defensive and unsympathetic. It doesn’t add up, and the horrified reaction of the other dermatologists I’ve seen in the wake of her oversight gives me certainty that never going back to Dr. Wattenberg’s practice is the right decision.
