Richard D Sontheimer

I thought he was a nice doctor. When I got my bill I realized he had charged me for services I was unaware were going to be additional charges. In a past visit he had provided this same service at no charge. Confusing and frustrating.

I was shocked today when Dr. Sontheimer refused to acknowledge the spot on my nose that was the reason I was there. He straight up told me it didn't exist and he couldn't comment on what he couldn't see. After noticing the growth I asked my family and everyone noticed it straight away but this MD had the nerve to basically tell me that I was seeing things. The experience was borderline bizarre. Have to go get a 2nd opinion I guess. I half expected him to tell me not to worry about it, but for him to tell me he couldn't see what can clearly be seen was so weird. If you can't see very well, maybe you shouldn't be doing this anymore. Being able to see is kind of prerequisite to diagnosing dermatology patients.

I’ve recommended him to several neighbors and friends, all who loved him. He was warm, caring knowledgeable and gave me extra information that I had not received from other dermatologists.

I had a Dermatology problem for about a year & half. I went to 2 different doctors with no results. Hundreds of dollars spent on creams with a lot of pain, bleeding and discomfort most of the day. I went to Dr. Richard Sontheimer on July 9th. After a 15 minute exam he determined the problem and gave me a prescription. By July 17th the problem was under control. I highly recommend Dr. Sontheimer. Joseph OBrien I had a Dermatology problem for about a year & half. I went to 2 different doctors with no results.

For skin cancer screenings and removal, I don’t think there’s anyone better. I appreciate his no nonsense approach. He is patient and thorough answering all my concerns. He’s proactive in his recommendations. The learning hospital setting is outstanding because there are always a variety of new up and coming doctors cycling through the clinic adding to the combined expertise. He’s probably the best experienced most broadly supported dermatologist in the state.

Always very personable, thorough and professional; does a great job of trying to preclude or prevent problems as well as fix them. Has always been responsive and accessible. A good listener!

I went into see Dr. Sontheimer and was treated so terrible. He kept saying that he only had 11 minutes to see me (I just paid a $40 copay plus whatever my insurance won't cover), so that was a little irritating. It gets much worse, after I asked him to remove something on my face that was of some concern to me, he said that it would take at least an hour and then, "Honey, you can't afford an hour with me." Honey?! What the hell?! First of all, don't ever call me honey, secondly, he doesn't know how much money I have. I can afford to get something taken off if I want. Not sure if this is because I wasn't wearing makeup, but I shouldn't have to if I don't want to, but more importantly, I didn't because I wanted him to see my face and the things I was concerned about. So, if you want to be treated well, wear your heels, skirt, and take your Gucci bag with your dog inside so he thinks you have money (he'll still think you're stupid though if you're a woman, "honey"). Better yet, just go to someone else who will have more than 11 minutes to see you! I went into see Dr. Sontheimer and was treated so terrible.

After my dermatologist retired I began searching for someone like Dr. Sontheimer. He is competent , careful, and very professional. I travel 3,000 miles to see him and am happy to do it.

I'm quite surprised by the other reviews, etc. here. I found Dr. Sontheimer to be professional, attentive, and willing to take the time needed to make sure I fully understood what the issues and options were. I would, have highly recommend him.
