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.

Always very helpful, accommodating and friendly. The entire staff is professional polite, and very patient. Too bad most of the medical professionals are not like the doctors and NP I dealt with. Special shout out goes to Faye NP. SHE IS THE BEST

By far the best Dermatologist
Dr Tarlow blew me away with his knowledge experience and five star patient care. I have never met anyone remotely as smart and talented as Dr. Tarlow. One of the factors that sets him apart from the rest besides for being the most knowledgeable and most talented than any other DERM I ever went to, is that he genuinely cares about u and wants the best for you. I was blow away. Even though he was very busy ....which is expected being top in his field, he still had so much patience with us and made us feel like the only ones. He also was the only DERM that actually took care of the issue I was having. Staff is extremely professional as well. The office is clean and beautifuly designed... Just all around the best I've ever seen. Strongly recommend.

In 2020, I was so satisfied with my first MOHs surgery at ADSS that I posted a positive review of Dr Tarlow and the staff. I suffer from chronic BCCs of my face, sometimes with severe and complex aspects. Now, after eight surgeries, one of which included skin grafting and lasted over seven hours, I can attest that Dr. Tarlow and the staff he surrounds himself with are the very, very best—the diamond standard—truly embodying their values of “Compassion, Respect, and Integrity.” They have proved it to me hour after hour, procedure after procedure. I would never go anywhere else.

My appointment yesterday with Dr. Tarlow was perfectly on time. His staff is excellent and most accommodating. As for the doctor himself, this wasn’t my first encounter with him, and every time I am more and more impressed with his vast knowledge, attention to detail, amazing hand skills, patience, and professionalism. He is very gentle, humble, and caring. Dr. Tarlow is a rare combination of a top specialist in his field, and a wonderful human being. Being a medical professional myself, I very highly recommend this physician. A most grateful patient.

Dr. Tarlow has a wonderful bedside manner and is an excellent physician. He listens to your concerns and takes the time and effort to make sure he resolves the issue. I have a lot of moles and he is extremely thorough with scanning my body for any issues. If he sees anything questionable, he will remove it and have a biopsy done. I appreciate his caution and cancer is not something you want to mess around with. I have no problems recommending this practice to anyone. In fact, my entire family (including my inlaws) all come here.

Dr Tarlow, Esther and all of the practitioners are terrific. All of the office staff are very professional, caring and friendly with all of the patients I wouldn't use any other dermatologist and I trust everyone in this office. I don't usually like to recommend a doctor to anyone but I have recommended Dr. Tarlow and his staff to many people and no one was disappointed. Thank you for giving me this opportunity to say "thank you" for always being there and taking care of me so well.
