Schweiger Dermatology Group

I have been working for Schweiger Dermatology Group for 9months and have gained the opportunity of advancing in the company after my hard work and dedication was acknowledged.  Schweiger Dermatology Group Is constantly  growing which provides it’s  employees with the opportunity of career advancements within the company, job openings are announced via email so that employees have a fair chance to apply and expand regardless of their current position.  Schweiger Dermatology Group is constantly working on providing The Ultimate Patient Experience and acknowledges that to do so we must provide the Ultimate Employee Experience.  SDG has made changes to improve as a company by providing employees with better Health Plans, 401K plan, Life insurance plan and more.  SDG has also launched projects like “Dream On” where all employees are encouraged to submit a dream which the company will award randomly and is not merit based, examples of dreams that are being awarded are Plane tickets to visit family abroad, First time trip to Disney, Childcare coverage for three months and more.  Like any company you will find some challenges specially when working with others, we are all different and may have moments that may clash, thankfully Schweiger as a growing company recognizes this challenge and provides meetings and seminars that will help us as inviduals and professionals grow and learn more effective ways of communicating and working with one another as a team.  SDG also has a wonderful and confidental HR team and Employee Experience Team that you can confide in and work with to solve any issue or concern.  I look forward to witnessing the growth of the company and accomplishing our goal of providing the Ultimate Patient Experience, and Employee Experience as I learn and grow from each experience I gain by working for Schweiger Dermatology Group.

I've worked at Schweiger Dermatology for just under two years, and I am so grateful I was hired. This culture is so positive, caring, and so many people have gone out of their way to help me succeed here. The company truly cares about your career and where you want to go in life. The managers are very hands on and care about you and your personal life outside of work as well as in the job itself. The relationships I have built here with all my fellow co -workers will last me years to come,  because everyone here brings such a unique energy to the office that it really makes your day so much more enjoyable. When Covid 19 hit - the company was fast to focus on our safety and well being by allowing us to temporarily stay home and I was one of the first Medical Assistants to come back to the office when we re-opened. We had a ton of PPE and we worked in shifts to allow minimal exposure between the rest of the staff and our patients. As the months progressed more employees returned to work and we found our flow again. In just the short time I have been here I have learned a lot for my field and I’ve also learned the value of what its like to work for such a great company because your job is like your second home- where we tend to spend the most productive time of the day and most energetic years of our life. Every day after work I get a sense of satisfaction because I know I was able to learn and do something productive by helping others. Not every day is perfect here but that’s what it makes it so much more -  We laugh, argue, discuss, share knowledge, work as a team and in the end truly enjoy being here. I highly recommend working for this company the is pay is fair and atmosphere here is what makes it so much better than many other places I’ve worked before. 

Not enough help. Staffing is an issue.
Nobody stays and the ones who stay get taken advantage of. Not enough time to complete job duties plus extra duties like tasks, etc. Managers are on your back about your hours. They never schedule your hours for more than what seems 32 per week. They consider that full time. Things don’t get done bc you are made to clock out as soon as your done w pts EVEN THOUGH many important things are not taken care of, like refills, prior authorizations for meds just prescribed. You never ever get enough time to get any type of overtime, so I never understood why working a few mins extra every day to ensure tasks are done is a problem. You will not be compensated appropriately plus will have to fight for your hours.
It’s a big problem in ny office. PATIENTS SUFFER bc the efficiency of the office is at minimal.  To be honest the company does not value its clinical staff as
We are the backbone of the company. Without the medical assistants the place is nothing. The providers can barely treat by themselves for 5 mins alone in room. Very needy and very condescending. Very impatient. Lastly the practice is run like a business. Patient issues go unlooked-always an excuse and it always seems to be everyone’s fault but the manager. The manager is always too busy w work and again, the important stuff of a practice management goes unnoticed. Very nitpicking. Concerned w the wrong things. Schweiger is all about “superior Patient experience” and I’ve yet to see Schweiger set up an actual work model to support that. 

This company is not a good company to work for/under. I absolutely love Derm in itself and enjoyed everything I learned along the way. Unfortunately the office is continuously short staffed while providers are overbooked. In house management has a high turnover and is inconsistent. We've had multiple managers, both Gm and RM, replaced and have gone without times as well. The current in house managnent is new, helpful at times, and still learning without much, if any support from her upper management. Managment is not supportive, derogative and confrontational to staff when frustrated. Upper management is nonexistent. The Providers are heavily scheduled without the appropriate staffing and still expected to see and do more. Performance reviews this year were pushed out and then once completed and recommendations for wage increases were given, upper management denied all raises and blamed the Providers for not seeing more patients per hour as why nobody would receive their yearly performance raise. Office staff turnover is high. Daily constant inconsistancies in daily expectations and the lack of support. You may be hired for a 8 or 12 h shift and told those are your hours but you will absolutely be expected to stay late. Do not reccomend working here at all. 



I've had so many good experiences with this group. I am a full-time student and therefore my schedule constantly changes, and this group has been incredible about accommodating my schedule so I can continue to work. When my schedule didn't allow me to continue in my position at the time, the practice worked with me to find other positions that worked better with my schedule. Now that I am graduating, I requested to be switched back to my other position, and they are helping me achieve this without an issue. Aside from how helpful they are, the practice offers job mobility, constantly looking to their own employees first to fill new positions.
The group has several offices all over New York, so there are several options of offices to work in and it's easy to find something that's close to home. I have worked in 2 different locations and in both the atmosphere was very friendly and relaxed. The work is sometimes face-paced as that is that nature of a doctor's office, but it's not overwhelming. I loved my manager in my original office, and the group of managers in my current office are great as well - very friendly and super approachable. 
I would recommend this group to anyone who asked. I hope to continue to work here until I go back to school. I genuinely love working for this practice and consider myself fortunate to be part of this group!

I have worked at Schweiger for nearly 2 years. Throughout my time, I have worked in several office locations with a variety of providers. While it can be an adjustment to work with so many providers, it is a great skill to learn to be flexible and adaptable and to see so many different treatment styles and medical conditions. Compensation is fair, and hours are relatively flexible. Benefits could be improved, but all the basics are covered. I am particularly fond of my current office and team in Philadelphia. Each day is very unique, and while the days can be long, my team keeps me energized and supported. The best part of the job is a tie between our wonderful patients and office staff. This is a particularly rewarding and meaningful job for those interested in going on to medical, NP, PA programs/schools or other advanced health careers as there is incredible patient exposure. I am very grateful to have been able to learn from these mentors and attribute much of my success with medical school applications to this work. 

I've been employed with Schweiger Dermatology for about 1 year and a half. It has truly been a great experience. Schweiger Dermatology gives many opportunities for advancing within the company. I started as a Patient Coordinator and as my office did better and my hard work was recognized, I was promoted to General Manager. I have many great things to say about Schweiger Dermatology. Upper management is easy to contact and are very supportive and approachable. Dr. Schweiger is very pleasant and caring. The company truly focuses on ultimate patient experience and also cares for their employees. We have great benefits such as 401k, life insurance, medical, vision and more!  Even though, Schweiger Dermatology is rapidly growing,  they have not lost sight of what is important. They are always looking for ways to improve and are open to staff feedback. The hardest part of the job would be work and life balance. Due to being a Manager I usually take work home and have to answer calls and emails on my days off including on my PTO days.

Overall, I would recommend Schweiger Dermatology to anyone interested in healthcare.

Compensation/Benefits - still waiting for this since ive been hired...
Job Security - 2 words : GOOD luck
Overall rating : 2 stars because you will be hired in one office and asked to travel to many offices and once you agree to travel to help out 1 office they think you want to go to every single one! Its insanity and they dont want to compensate you for gas. 
 Job Work/Life Balance : you will always have someone texting you or calling you after hours about work related things no matter what. Its like your life is work! Cant even take a short vacation and come back to work to calmness, just chaos. .
Job Culture : poor! management will tell you all these great things and once review time comes they never give you what you deserve or what youre owed. They will continuously thank you up and down and then just beg you to stay and work more. Oh and esp. WORK WITHOUT BREAKS!  
Management : 1 STAR. Management makes up their own rules always. If it's not one thing its another, Hiring people who needs several weeks of training but instead they ship new hires to the office to start working when it doesn't and cant work like that. MAs need to work with their provider and focus. MAs can not train and work with their provider at the same time. 

From my experience at Schweiger Dermatology, I can say that it is overall, certainly a great place for anyone to become more knowledgeable and acquire skills to help you grow in the working field. The job allows you to attain hands-on experience with working with patients' needs as well as being able to help ease them on an administration sense. The training is an elaborate PAID program over the course of a couple of days. Within the training, you are warmly welcomed into the SDG family and learn about the overall company, its history, goals, and achievements. You are given set tasks to complete throughout the working day, not only are you prepped from the training on how to go about it but also eased into it when you start the job. Manager is nice and down to earth, easy to talk to, and understanding to situations, always looks out for her workers & supports them. 

Manager talks negatively about staff members. Office is not culturally diverse at all.  Manager does not ensure that staff are properly trained in several aspects so it is hard for them to keep up with changes being made at the job.  Instead of trying to find solutions management blames everything on the office transition to schweiger which was over 7months ago, high staff turn over rate 3 people quit in less than 2 months, staff that  worked here prior to me are very unhappy with work culture which at times causes a unhappy work environment.  Pay is good but benefits are very high health benefits they are around $150 per pay for a single person and about $300 per pay per family.  The PC, MA and Aestheticians are very helpful when they can be, staff always demonstrates team work.  I really enjoy the job itself but not the lack of motivation by management to ensure that all staff are trained and on the same page with the goal of the office so the office can thrive to it's full potential.
