Trauner Michael, MD

I cannot say enough great things about Dr Trauner and his staff. When I checked in the receptionist was extremely friendly and professional. I only had to wait 10 minutes max to go to the exam room. The patients assistant Tara Powers explained in detail my procedure. She was patient and answered all of my questions. I had a great experience and would highly recommend this Doctor.

I took my father-​in-​law in to this office two times in the past two months, and I was completely delighted by the way the staff treated us. The Physician’s Assistant was very patient and kind and extremely gentle, and had a sunny attitude, and the medical assistant who checked his blood-​pressure and got him all ready was very sweet. When we got to the front desk on the way out, everyone was very helpful and did not mind answering questions at all, and made sure we had a parking validation. One other reviewer was right — bring some quarters and dollar bills as the parking booth on the way out of the parking garage often doesn’t have change. One other nice thing this office did was send a letter with very detailed instructions on parking and where to go once you’ve parked. This office even has snacks and coffee in the waiting room, and little samples of lotion and other stuff for you to take on the way out — and don’t forget to take your lollipop! All in all, a very pleasant experience, and my father-​in-​law usually hates going to the doctor. I liked these folks so much, I changed dermatologists on our second visit and made an appointment with Dr. Trauner!

I was very impressed with Dr Trauner and the entire staff. Like most people, I was very nervous about having something removed from my face. I was told that he is the best in what he does, and found this to be completely true. He has a great sense of humor which makes it a bit easier. It was completely painless and the stiching is very minimal and am confident it will leave no scarring.

Staff is incredibly rude. Their parking lot was closed with cones so I had to park at a nearby lot. I was 15 minutes late and they would not see me. They have a 10 minute late policy. They usually make me wait 15 – 30 minutes in the waiting area. Doesn’t make sense!

I have seen Dr. Trauner a couple of times. He is friendly and puts you at ease, while being very professional. The staff is great as well.

Began seeing Dr Trauner about five years ago after disappointment with previous dermatologist. He has skillfully removed two skin cancers and provides excellent follow up. He freezes suspicious spots and, unlike my earlier experience with another dermatologist, does not invent spots to freeze. Excellent care from a pleasant doctor. I highly recommend him.

I totally love Midtown Dermatology. I took my daughter to Dr. Trauner’s office for a delicate surgery to remove a lipoma right in the middle of her forehead. We were both nervous about having a scar in the middle of her forehead. He reviewed all the options and spent time with both of us and I did not feel rushed like you do at some doctors offices. We selected him over the other two doctors because he seemed to genuinely care about her. We scheduled the surgery (3 weeks ago), had the stitches removed a week later and today there is almost no scar. We think it may go away completely which is something we did not expect. :-)
The office staff greeted us right away and were cheerful, plus — it looked like they enjoyed working there. I like that! They validate parking for 50% off the underground lot or you can usually find a meter in the surrounding blocks. Bring quarters.

I went to Dr. Trauner for Mose surgery. Everyone was pleasant and he is absolutely wonderful. The surgery which can be very lengthy was only a couple of hours. It is healing perfectly. I recently came back as i had gone to another dermatology office who told me a spot on my leg was nothing. It is squamish cell which needs to be treated quickly. Dr. Trauner’s staff scheduled me for surgery within two weeks.
I find the staff friendly, polite, and extremely professional. I dont understand M.R.‘s review. Please read the others which give five stars…
I highly recommend this office. I have not had any confusion. I guess some people just like to complain.

To the post above, BE COMPLETELY CONCERNED WITH ALL THE NEGATIVE REVIEWS for Dr. Trauner. I’ve had 3 – 4 visits with him and unlike the post below, I would NOT RECOMMEND Dr. Trauner to anyone.
His office staff is incredibly rude, unpleasant, absurdly difficult to reason with and make appointments, and horrible over all. They are the biggest bunch of unaccommodating human beings I’ve met in my life. I have a condition Dr. Trauner treats that required urgent treatment and they told me that I had to wait until January (2.5 months) to see him for ONLY 10 minutes (length of treatment). I told them my problem was getting worse and they didn’t care to help me at all or offer any other solution apart from placing me on a waiting list that has never worked the last 2 times I was placed on it. I pleaded and pleaded with them to no avail. His staff and Dr. Trauner lack compassion and empathy for patients. I felt his office don’t place patient satisfaction or comfort at the top of their list or care to alleviate patient symptoms.
Please, please please, AVOID AT ALL COSTS. His office staff are atrocious and his bed side manner brief, rushed, and apathetic.

I was concerned when I read reviews for Dr. Trauner. I have to disagree with the negative reviews. I went in for Moh’s surgery and he treated me very well, and was concerned for my well-​being during the entire appointment. He even called to check on me at 6:30 at night.
There was confusion when setting up the appointment with the front office staff, as well as an inability to get through 3 times during normal business hours.
I would suggest that people see Dr. Trauner.
