No complaints from me!

The one thing that was weird was when the appointment ended the doctors walked out of the exam room and turn toward an office, and sort of left me to fend for myself as far as where to go to leave the office. It was a little confusing.

It is hard to find a Doctor that is candid, informative, skillful with a pleasant demeanor that makes you feel comfortable in a time of stress. He is an asset to the hospital.

Very efficient. Talked to me during exam, asked relevant questions. Made me feel comfortable. Did a great job looking at moles and evaluating with a full body exam

Dr knew exactly what he was doing! I came all the way from [...] because the dermatologist there did not know what they were doing! I am grateful for the referral to UR Dermatology!!!

Dr. Tausk and the resident were nothing short of amazing. The entire team showed genuine caring, concern, and compassion. I called my husband after the visit to express how pleased I was.
