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 have globe subluxation and need surgery, but this doctor refuses to do it. I wasted 6 weeks waiting to see her and I had to take medical leave because I couldn't see out of my eye for 2 of those weeks. Never had a chance to explain my situation in full. Went through a bunch of tests, pain, and loss of income because I couldn't get in to see this doctor for 3 weeks after my eye popped out of socket. Does anyone understand how painful it is to have your eye pop out of socket?! I have had a very traumatic experience and nothing is getting done about it.

Very unprofessional, unethical and incompetent admin. I had cosmetic billing dispute because of their inefficiency and miscommunication. At the end I had to pay the full bill because of their fault. The treatment I received bella fill for my tiny chicken pox mark did not work either. But it is the failing to take responsibility of their incompetent admin and make customer pay for it is just wrong and unacceptable.

Dr. Tarbet is among the best. A master injectionist (she teaches it). She is very warm & caring. Always honest, she tells me if i don't need something. I won't go anywhere else for fillers. An anesthesiologist acquaintance who works w hundreds of cosmetic surgeons said Dr. Tarbet has an artistic flair the others just don't. If/when i need a brow or facelift I'm going to her. Chris does the prp injections and I am getting phenomenal results! He loves his work & it shows. Super friendly guy!

I visited Dr. Tarbet's office in spring 2016. It was my first time considering any type of cosmetic injection and I had visited two other offices for an under eye belotero injection. Dr. Tarbet's nurse injector made me feel so comfortable and was very good at working to address my concerns. After 20 years of under eye bags, I was so happy to get the injection particularly before a big college reunion! I am considering the restylane injection and will certainly go back to Dr. Tarbet's office!

I have Graves disease. My eyes have been so irritated and even the skin around them. So happy that I found this practice. I called and got in to see Chris the next day. I am feeling so much better. He had solutions that no other doctor has been able to address. I am very thankful for this group of doctors and their kindness.

I have been seeing Dr Tarbet for over 5 years now. I have seen her for facial cosmetic surgery & ongoing treatments. I absolutely love her. My results from her work have been outstanding.I receive compliments all the time. As a medical professional myself, I know her surgical skills are exceptional. I admire all the work she has done for me. She is wonderful in the office setting. I always take note of who the doctors & nurses seek out for their own care--Dr Tarbet!!
