Larisa J. Geskin, MD

She is wonderful to talk to, explains everything in a way you understand. She listened to what I had to say. I highly recommend Dr Geskin.

Excellent Doctor.

Very personal and professional takes time with patient and discusses case and treatments thoroughly with patient.

I always leave her visits with much hope and confidence in my recovery. Her expertise is unmatched. I know when I leave her exam my mind is at peace. I travel far to see her when I could have gone right in my "backyard". She's the best!!

CARING, VERY KNOWLEDGEABLE

Sent a prescription one day later Don't ever answer a telephone call so it is impossible to contact them

She spent less then 5minutes with me. Seemed rushed and was talking into her phone she stated for transcription.

Doesn’t take time to explain, rushes out and doesn’t seem to want to be bothered 😕

Great doctor and her team are amazing.

Dr. Geskin is always professional and patient to answer all concerns...her fellow who helped is extremely sensitive and professional as well!

She is warm, careing and very interested in the health of her patients. I would recommend her to any of me family and friends.

Professional and competent!

Dr. Gaskin is sweet and makes me feel like I am the only patient when being cared for. I never get the feeling like I'm being brushed off and I am comfortable to ask any question and gives me the answers in ways that I fully understand.

Dr. Geskin is the best! She is so knowledgeable and professional while still being caring and compassionate. I am totally confident that I am getting the best possible care for my condition.

First visit. She is forthcoming, and has good energy

Attentive care

Warm greeting. Efficient. Answers questions succinctly.

Polite, highly competent and efficient.

Love this doctor

All problems dealt with! Listens even to patient 's nonsense and makes sense of it.

Dr. Geskin is excellent! However, it is tough to reach her staff. Also, her team is very rude.

Professional, knowledgeable and personable

Too business like. Not warm. Quick

I’ve been seeing Dr. Geskin for a few years. She first started treating me for CTCL I was a mess under her guidance and working with Dr. Aaron Warshawsky come on my skin is cleared up and is the best that it’s been in decades. She has shown me in a number of ways that she cares about me (not only as a patient) but as a person. I love her !

Great doctor

Great Doctor! Great Staff!

very very fast body check; would like a bit longer

Still working on the problem. Hoping to get there soon

very good doctor

Incredibly competent, patient, efficient

Not particularly user friendly - didn't explain things well.

Very knowledgeable and caring professional.

Very attentive to my questions and concerns. Gave clear instructions for next steps.

She cares about her patients AND their families, recognizing the critical contributions family members make in the treatment process!

Very honest, very kind. Listens and answers all questions.

The 3 stars are not for Dr. Geskin, but for the office staff. Sitting beside my husband, a patient since a long time, I was told my insurance was not accepted, yet mine is the same as his, and my file is on "Columbia Doctors'" computers. I was anxious for a short while, and wish this would not have happened.

Dr Geskin and her staff are Amazing , great care for over 10 years !

Very thorough.

Simply the best.

Dr. Geskin is fantastic. I am so grateful to be her patient.

Rushed my visit...seemed more interested in moving on to the next patient versus attending to my concerns. Left the physicians assistant to control the visit.

Knowledgeable, professional and personable

Attentive, knowledgeable and effective!

Great doctor. Communication with her team has been poor.

incredibly knowledgeable; incredibly compassionate; PERFECT doctor

Dr Geskin A specialist in her field of medicine , Dr Geskin goes the distance for her patient ,a remarkable human-being that is dedicated to helping people with there medical condition

Larisa has a professional approach about her with a deep concern about your wellbeing. She is straight forward and see to it everything is explained clearly

Dr. Gaskin is very friendly and knowledgeable. Always with a warm smile.

very pleased. Clean office, great staff, informative and treated me with kindness.

Dr. Geskin is a consummate professional, both knowledgeable and caring. I would strongly recommend her practice, her Team, and her associates at ColDocs Tarrytown and the Adult Infusion Center at Herbert Irving Pavilion.

Total lack of "bed side manner" arrogant.. dismissive of patient's pain or condition or concerns. Saw patient only as lesions to be excised.. no consideration of age, health status,

She is very concerned about my family and me.

Very lucky to have her

Knowledgeable, pleasant, answers questions, great disposition

Had an amazing appointment with her... however I was seen almost an hour after my initial appointment time without even a whiff of an apology or a flimsy excuse about being behind due to covid protocols. My time is just as valuable as yours and although the offense is completely forgivable it was still rude ??

Dr. Geskin was very thorough and empathetic, with a focus on very preventative measures, in addition to clear resolution of any issues at hand. She has a wonderful team supporting her. I highly recommend Dr. Geskin!

Very kind and helpful. Also the NP, Diane was very kind and helpful as well.

The doctor didn’t directly conducted the exam. The nurse practitioner did a great job! The doctor came into room for less than 5 minutes.

Dr. Geskin is the consummate professional! Expertly skilled, very thorough, and always gives the time needed questions or concerns. If I moved out of the area, I would drive hours to see her.

Thorough, encouraging,answered all questions , friendly

Always the most understanding, communicative and patient physician. I feel fortunate to have found Dr. Geskin!

I was tested for my condition quickly and professionally

She was listened to me very attentively. She answered all of my questions. And she had a follow up plan which I appreciated because it shows that she was thinking ahead.

Dr Geskin listens and doesn’t rush my concerns. She is caring and very knowledgeable, and helps my condition tremendously. She is an an amazingly wonderful doctor.

professional and honest...considerate always and gentle when appropriate.

She was subbing for Dr Lewin. Stuck her head in looked at wound. Said looks good and left. So I really have nothing much to say about her.

She rushes through her appointments. Other Columbia Doctors (& I see a lot of Columbia Doctors in that building), enter the room, sit down, and allow you to explain why you’re there. She took the little information the nurse gave her, tried to give me a solution in about 60 seconds (never sat down) and was out the door. I had 3 issues I wanted to discuss with her. She let me get through about 1 and a half before she ran out. So I left without getting to ask her about the third issue. Not good.

Staff and front desk were excellent; I was a new patient traveling on business (not a local), and very grateful that I was seen. The Dr however, literally spent less than 2 min with me and left. She diagnosed me with shingles on sight, without asking any questions or giving directions on care. Google was more helpful.

Very satisfied with Dr. Geskin

I am sure Dr. Geskin is very knowledgable but she and her staff seemed put out and irritated when I asked questions about her diagnosis. There was a distinct sense of "I only have 5 mins for you and I don't want to discuss anything." It was dismissive and frankly rude.

Extraordinary Physician with great skills in solving difficult problems!

Did not spend enough time explaining the plan of care and ordered a medication that was not discussed I had to call answering service to clarify if the medication was intended for me

Dr, Geskin not only has an incredible amount of knowledge at her fingertips, she also has the best bedside manner of anydoctor I have encountered in my 74years of life. She is the finest example of what a doctor should be.

always takes the time to explain what she doing and why could not be happier with my doctor and her staff

Exceptional caring doctor with an excellent support staff. You feel safe with such a practi e

Dr. Geskin is a great doctor. Not only is she an expert in the field, but she is the first dermatologist I’ve seen that takes my concerns seriously. I truly appreciate this since I have a history of skin cancer. My only complaints are that there are occasionally long waits and short appointments, however I don’t think scheduling is a reflection of Dr. Geskin who is a great clinician.

Very thorough and very accommodating.

I like Dr. Geskin very much. However it is almost impossible to communicate with her and her staff when there is a question to be asked or a decision to be reached. It would be truly appreciated if some positive steps could be taken to assist the patient communications.

Doctor Geskin was professional and very knowledgeabl.

Dr. Geskin noticed a small growth on my face that did not appear to be anything. Dr.Geskin out of precaution ordered a biopsy. It turned out to be cancerous. Due to Dr Geskin diligence we were able to have a mohs surgeon remove the cancer in the early stages.

Before meeting Dr. Geskin, 2 staff members met with me preliminarily to ask why I made the appt. I listed my issues both times. When the doctor finally came in she asked again, as though neither nurse relayed. By the 3rd time, one issue was not addressed and after a 5 min. appt. w/ Geskin, I reminded the nurse she forgot to address the issue. I was told to make another appt; the doctor would not come back in. I thought that was very rude especially that she knew I had a newborn. Not returning.

Dr. Geskin was wonderful. The nurse was gruff. The student doctor wouldn't make eye contact and seemed to be irritated by me. Dr. Geskin was kind, calm, attentive, quite wonderful. The quality of care seemed good.

It took forever to get my results back

Dr Geskin is extremely reassuring. She gives good clinical details when called for, and listens well.

My early years with Dr. Geskin seemed fine; she was very thorough and pleasant. During my last 2 -3 visits, however, I felt less clear about reasons for treatment...esp the light treatment, which seemed to have no effect on my face (?) Also, a resident interviewed me first, with no introduction from the doctor. Instruction of the resident seemed more important to the doctor than interaction and explanation to me. I have switched providers.

Dr. Geskin is highly attentive and thorough, working systematically to work on damaged areas of my skin. She is warm and caring, making me feel very supported by her expertise . I would highly recommend Dr. Geskin !

Dr Geskin is the consummate professional, an authority on MF/CTCL, and a fastidious clinician -- she has brought my progression to remission. Highly recommended. B.Yarkon

Outstanding doctor, saved my life
