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.

Horrible Service and Arrogance!
This group has lost all sense of service or humanity. I’m a 40 year patient of the Tannenbaum group and went in for an appointment. I was left in the waiting room for 2.5 hours because they forgot to turn in my paperwork to go back. After asking and finding the paperwork sitting on the nurses desk, they told me I’d be the next person back. At the 3 hours I mark, they had then called 2 more people back ahead of me and I got up to leave. They tried to turn it around on me and I had to remind them again that the only reason I was there for 3 hours and hadn’t seen a doctor was because they forgot to turn in my paperwork and left. I mean who has 3 hours to wait to see a doctor in the middle of a work day. 5 weeks later my cream ran out and I called in for a refill. This office refused to renew it unless I came in for an appointment. Heh heh. What?Needless to say, this office has lost all sense of service and humanity. I will be changing physicians after experiencing their arrogance

My experience with Dr. Tanenbaum
I have been going to Dr. Tanenbaum for over 20 years. He is always so kind and helpful to me. Every time I visit him, he remembers me, asks about my children and my personal life. He is a very personal doctor and I drive over an hour one way just to go to him, even though there are four dermatologists in my own city. I feel blessed that God led me to this doctor many years ago.

The doctor did not seem interested in hearing about my issues. Instead, he seemed to be more focused on training the intern who was present. I asked to be treated for a specific condition, but seemed to be told to come back for another visit in order to address it. His instructions were very vague. It was a very expensive mistake on my part.

He wasn't thorough. Was an hour behind schedule. Didn't ask questions. Didn't performed the scheduled biopsy, and I'm still left with a mass. THEN, he hands me a piece of paper with the amount of my copay. How rude is that? ...hands me a sheet of paper...

I take my teenage son to Dr. Tanenbaum and he always spends as much time as needed with him. He has a gentle, friendly manner and a conservative yet academic approach to treatment which I appreciate especially when concerning my child.

I have been a patient of his for many years. He is outstanding. He spends as much time with me as needed. I have had several complex problems and he has worked hard each time to find the correct treatment. I've seen him at both office locations and have had an outstanding experience each time.

I was asked specifically if my son wanted a male or female dermatologist. So, I asked my son and he chose to see a male dermatologist but they put him with a woman. I felt like that was a real miscommunication and not very fair. We won’t go back.

Have been a patient for many years. Always a 5 star experience with one exception. Twice now, when I have specifically scheduled my appointment with Dr. Tanenbaum I have arrived for my appointment only to discover that I was scheduled with the Nurse Practitioner. I don't appreciate having my specific request ignored by the scheduling staff. With that said, she is a great Clinician and I still had a good experience.

I took my children to his father and now I have been a patient of his for many years. He is very attentive and responsive to my concerns. I would highly recommend him, as I have done so numerous times.

Great staff and nurse practitioners. They will consult with Dr Tannebaum if there is something questionable for their level of training which I found reassuring. Very clean environment and we'll run office.
