I had never been so sick before, I was in a lot of physical pain and distress. My GP saw me one week prior to my first appointment with Dr Barankin, and she was horrified. Fortunately, I found Dr Barankin through internet research and asked my GP for a referral, because the medication prescribed by the dermatologist I had been seeing for six years was not helping me. Dr Barankin is clearly a brilliant diagnostician. In just that one first visit, he diagnosed the current condition that was causing me so much distress, and prescribed exactly the right medication to clear it up. In just four appointments and over only seven weeks Dr Barankin was able to help me so much more than my previous dermatologist did over six years; and he showed me how a great dermatologist looks at rashes, listens, tests, investigates, analyzes and diagnoses. He ordered three biopsies and three blood tests and very quickly diagnosed my chronic, six year long condition, (it turns out that I have a very rare condition); after which he very conscientiously referred me to a hospital for further treatment. My previous dermatologist had misdiagnosed my chronic condition for six long years, he had not done even one single biopsy; and only looked at my rashes very occasionally, always fleetingly, while staring at his computer, typing on his keyboard, and being very dismissive whenever I asked him questions. Dr Barankin told me jokingly that he would fix me up for Christmas, but I feel that Dr Barankin has saved my life. He has given me many more years to enjoy with my family; I cannot thank him enough, he has given me another chance at life! He is not only a fantastic doctor, he is attentive, kind, caring, a humanitarian, warm, friendly, and oh – so funny, while at the same time always being extremely professional. He got me to laugh just a few seconds after the very first time he saw me, even though I felt and looked like I was dying. I also laughed a lot on my fourth visit, seven weeks later, when he handed me a piece of paper with the correct diagnosis of my chronic condition written on it and said “for your internet reading.” As he said to me that day “a positive outlook is very important for healing.” Next to my GP of 30 years, Dr Barankin is the best physician I have been treated by in my life (I am 53). Follow your instincts, if you have any doubts at all about your current treatment, or your current dermatologist, you owe it to yourself to see Dr Barankin, he is definitely the best!

I've had to see many dermatologists over the years for a variety of skin ailments. Dr. Barankin has to be the best dermatologist out there. He is affable, warm, professional, on time, and knows his stuff. He's always happy to answer my questions and has been of tremendous help with both acne and psoriasis problems, and also cleared up a couple rashes over the years. Definitely recommend him.

I was very impressed with Dr. Barankin. He quickly diagnosed my condition, gave me a great handout with lots of useful info, and some cream and pills which cleared up my rash that I'd had forever. I'll definitely go to him again if I get a skin problem.

Dr. Barankin is an excellent dermatologist. He is smart, helpful, caring, and overall a good person. My family has been treated for many different skin issues over the years and we have all been quite pleased with our care. I have no hesitation in recommending him.
