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.

Most competent Allergist in town!
I'm a professional singer and needed urgent help, since I was suffering from bad allergies, which immensely effected my voice. Dr. Tarbox patiently reviewed my case, and not only was he able to help me immediately, based on his recommendations, I was able to get a handle of my allergies, which I was dealing with for decades! Dr. Tarbox is the reason, why I can rely on my health again, and I am very thankful for that. I highly recommend him as a physician!

Dr. Tarbox clearly knows what he is doing. He is an expert in allergies and knows what to do (and more important, what not to do). I was addicted to Claritin D for year, and haven't taken Claritin D in over a year since my recommendations from Dr. Tarbox.

I brought my 18 month old in because she kept having allergic reactions to different foods we would give her. He gave her an allergy test on her back and quickly gave her medicine to alleviate any feelings of discomfort. Thanks to the results of the test and Dr. Tarbox's advice, we have had zero allergic reactions. If I ever doubt what foods my child needs to be in contact with, I can call and be advised quickly.

Dr. Tarbox listened carefully to my history, did an excellent physical exam, and gave me a well thought out treatment plan that significantly improved my symptoms. I have suffered from allergies since I was a teenager! So happy that I have found this excellent, caring doctor to help me control my allergy symptoms. Highly recommended !

Horrible! He kept increasing my dosage of medicine instead of finding out the real cause of my allergies! At one point I was taking 4 Allegras (720 mg ) . He didn't pay attention to my medical needs , I tried to explain my condition but he did not take anything under consideration.
