Patient Reviews

See what recent patients are saying about The Dermatology Institute of Boston:

Growing up, I had clear skin and did not have any major issues with acne during my teenage years. The little problems I did have cleared up by the time I was 20, however as I got older I started noticing painful pimples that would not go away no matter what topical ointment, cream, or face wash I used. After I turned 30, one day this mysterious severely painful pimple showed up on my face and it just kept getting larger and larger. It turned different colors, from angry red to deep purple until one day it popped and needles to say it was disgusting. I started developing these pimples on my face every month or so and no one was able to help me. I went to my PCP, several dermatologists within my hospital and no one had an answer for me. This went on for quite a few years. One doctor prescribed accutane, but it wasn’t for me. It made my hair fall out, I had severe nose bleeds, headaches, my skin was dry and peeling constantly and I was depressed. I went to him crying and he looked me in the eye and said “there is nothing else I can do for you”. I felt dismissed, like he just didn’t care and hopelessness set it.

About a month later, I was online doing research about any other options that I may have and by some miracle came across a picture and name of Dr. Graber. I booked an appointment and when I came in, the staff was so pleasant and understanding even though I did not have my referral. They helped by contacting my PCP to get one. Dr. Graber changed my life with that appointment. I was sobbing so hard, and felt like this was my last chance for a solution. Dr. Graber was so attentive and understanding and said we will figure this out. She prescribed Spironolactone, to treat my cystic acne and within 6 months I was a new person. I have been a patient at Dermatology Institute of Boston for years and have been singing the praises of staff and doctors for all those years, because partally I wouldn’t be the person I am today if I had not met Dr. Graber.

I’ve struggled with acne for about 10 years and tried everything. Face washes, topicals, antibiotics, and even two rounds of Accutane. Some of these treatments would work temporarily, but my acne would always return after stopping. One day, my dermatologist at the time suggested I go see Dr. Graber and consider AviClear. While initially cautious, I did 3 very quick, symptom-free AviClear sessions and I am stunned by the results. Never in my life have I had such a long period without a single acne breakout. The redness in my skin has improved as well. I am so thankful for Dr. Graber and all the staff at the Dermatology Institute of Boston for effectively curing my acne!

Let me start by saying I have never written a review regarding anything in my life. I only do this to help pay forward the excellent reviews that I had read, which led me to scheduling an appointment with Dr. Graber. I struggled with Acne my entire life, had seen over 10 doctors countless different routines, medicines, and creams. Dr. Graber changed my life my senior year of college when I first met her and decided on a plan to begin using accutane. She made me feel safe, and assured me this was the right thing to do and I had zero side affects other than being more thirsty than normal. I can not stress enough how much I recommend anyone struggling like I was to make an appointment. Changed my life and cannot thank them enough.

Hands down the BEST dermatologists in Boston!!!!! They diagnosed a melanoma that I had on my leg that my previous dermatologist told me not to worry about for 2 years! Appointments are super easy to make, the office is super clean and bright, and the staff is amazing as well. I can’t wait to try them out for some cosmetic stuff that I want done. I highly recommend the Dermatology Institute of Boston!!

Pretty good, felt comfortable discussing personal and intimate details with the Doctor, who reassured me and helped me with all of my concerns in a timely manner. I would definitely visit again!

Dr. Meyer is the best!!!! I came to her with acne, psoriasis, and a number of other issues and I couldn’t be happier with my results. She really listened when I told her what never worked and she created a new treatment plan for me. I never thought my skin would be as clear as it is now. 10/10

I’ve been coming here for laser hair removal and acne treatment for a few years, and the staff has been consistently helpful and kind to me. Their onboarding paperwork wasn’t perfect (only binary gender options, no obvious mention of how trans patients should answer), but the staff themselves have put in extra effort to help me get their services covered by my insurance, and they’ve gotten my pronouns and name right consistently. Laser here has been dramatically more effective than previous treatments at different practice in Boston, but it’s also significantly more expensive ($550/session for full face). Two sessions here had more effect than 8 sessions at another shop, though, so I suspect the net cost might be similar.

The Doctors and Staff are among the most professional I’ve ever encountered. They go above and beyond and it is appreciated.

Current Patient

I have gone to this office three times now and have also visited several other dermatologists and by far, this is the best dermatology office in Boston. The woman that I talked to on the phone was very professional and friendly. I was never stuck waiting in the waiting room for long and the doctors are the best dermatologists I have seen. I have a lot of moles and my visits have always been very thorough. I would highly recommend this office.

I have been going to DIB for about 3/4 years now. I am so grateful to have found Dr. Graber!

The staff is always so helpful and kind and when seeing Dr. Graber I never feel rushed. When I go for skin checks she always takes the time to point out things and explain what they are as well as answer all the questions I have. (I tend to be over cautious with freckles).

They also have an amazing acne treatment called, Sebacia. Definitely look into it. It worked wonders for my acne!

I highly recommend this practice and Dr. Graber!

I absolute love Dr. Graber and her team. Extremely knowledgeable & reasonable price (if your insurance doesn’tcover anything). I would definitely recommend!

T.M.

Current Patient

Just paid a visit here the other day to get a second opinion on a mole I thought was sketchy. Dr Meyer listened and took the time to understand the concern and ended up testing it, which eased my mind. I felt like I was in great hands and will definitely be returning in the future.

Current Patient

Extremely thoughtful, professional, and always a great listener – exactly what you want in a doctor! Making appointments is very easy and once I arrive, there’s never a wait. The first dermatologist I’ve been to that really knows their stuff – especially when it comes to acne.

I came all the way from Portland because of the reviews here (…) Everyone I interacted with (…) was extremely kind and professional. (…) A dermatologist who takes their time with you can be hard to find, so I’m grateful to have found Dr. Graber and her friendly, helpful staff!

Dr. Emmy Graber is one of the nicest women on the planet. She has taken my acne scars from bad to almost unnoticeable in the past few months. I would highly recommend her.

J.W.

Current Patient

I see Dr. Graber for acne treatments and I swear she is a miracle worker (OK, maybe just brilliant)… Even if she weren’t the nicest doctor on the planet, I think I would still be just as much a fan! Get an appointment before the word gets out about how wonderful she is!!

J.S.

Current Patient

Dr. Graber got rid of my skin problem! The medicine that she prescribed was perfect and I appreciate her approachable nature. If I ever have another dermatology issue, I will call her!

I saw another doctor who misdiagnosed my skin condition but Dr. Graber gave me the right diagnosis and helped my skin get back to normal. She was very professional and I would highly recommend her.

C.B.

Current Patient

Dr. Graber totally helped my skin! She explained my skin allergies to me and helped me find products that wouldn’t irritate my skin. I also got a laser treatment done by Dr. Graber that worked wonders and made my sun spots go away.

A.N.

Current Patient

Dr.Graber has helped me more than any other doctor.

J.T.

Current Patient

Dr. Graber is so wonderful and I wish I went to her sooner! She discovered a melanoma that other dermatologists did not… and she sent me to the best surgeons around. I have to go every 3 months for skin checks. She is so thorough but also very realistic and does not put the fear of God in me for every little mole that I do not need to worry about. Her temperament and manner are also wonderful. I trust her wholeheartedly and would recommend her to anyone!

S.S

Current Patient

I just Moved from San Francisco and was nervous to find a great derm here in Boston. Well I managed it! Emmy is amazing very attentive on a skin check and then equally as great when recommending skin treatments. I had a medical facial last week and cannot believe how great my skin is. The facial really made a difference and was well worth doing. I will try another facial procedures soon as totally trust Emmy’s recommendations, she really cares.

10/10 experience here. I am naturally very trepidatious of doctor’s offices, but my entire visit here was very smooth. Everyone was very kind and helpful, from the front desk to the doctor herself. My provider explained everything to me in a way I could understand, and was very nice and encouraging. I was in and out within 30 minutes and my skin is already feeling better since starting my prescription. Only dermatologist I will visit from now on!

E.S.

Current Patient

Dr. Graber and her staff are incredible people who show compassion and clearly care about their patients. I am amazed with the quality of service I received, both in person, and over the phone when I called in with concerns about my health.

E.C.

Current Patient

The staff is always so kind, the office always clean and Dr. Graber is very thorough and reassuring. I moved to NYC and still find a way to make it back to Boston because I refuse to switch. Very good practice.
