Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

I was extremely disappointed with my experience with Dr. Tack. During my first appointment, I showed him some moles that had appeared and he said he would rub some cells off to take to the lab. When I arrived home, I was surprised to see that Dr. Tack performed two shave biopsies that were extremely deep. He did not inform me that would be happening and I was unable to walk for weeks as they were on the bottom of my feet. When the results came back, I was told by one of the staff members that it was melanoma. I was extremely concerned and scheduled an excision appointment, per their recommendation. When I received my pathology report, I was surprised to see that it was not melanoma- just some atypical cells. I called several times to speak with different medical assistants and staff members and was given different answers. I ended up just going to a different dermatology office and they have been extremely transparent, informative, and way more proficient at biopsies.

My husband and I both see Dr. Tack. We have never waited more than a few minutes for our appointment. We never feel rushed. He always answers our questions. He is warm, caring, and very well educated. He is a wonderful doctor.

We have been seeing Dr. Tack for over ten years and will continue seeing him yearly as the ultimate professional he is. Not only is he a great dermatologist, he is a caring and personable individual. I highly recommend Dr. Tack and Carson Dermatology for exam and treatment of any skin related issues.
