Dr fader seemed like a professional but the visit was very rushed and he only had time to address one of my concerns. His lobby was full of people with 15 minute appointment times. He was behind schedule

Seemed very straightforward. Checked me out for a skin cancer screening which is what I wanted, and then commented that I seemed to be struggling with acne. He then helped me with some skin care products and techniques before I left. Very helpful!!

More about Dr. Darrell Fader, MD
Dr. Fader is a skin cancer specialist. His ZocDoc appointments are for those with a biopsy-proven skin cancer requiring Mohs or standard excision. In addition, if you are being referred by a physician who suspects you may have a skin cancer, Dr. Fader can see you for a possible biopsy. Please understand that a phone consultation prior to the surgical visit is necessary to review the procedure and discuss your medical history so we can better prepare for a safe surgical experience.
Mohs microscopic surger is a skin cancer removal technique which uses microscopy to remove only the cancerous tissue, leaving healthy tissue intact and unharmed. This precise method minimizes the chance of cancer re-growth, and lessens the likelihood of scarring or disfigurement.
This specialized surgery has the distinction of providing the highest skin cancer cure rates, even if other forms of treatment have failed, with often excellent aesthetic and functional results.

Very professional, quick and to the point.

I took my teen daughter to see Dr. Fader for a skin concern, and he was great with her. She was apprehensive before our arrival, but once we got there, he made her feel completely at ease. And, after his treatment, she's had no more issues. He will definitely be the doctor we see for any future dermatology needs.

I have seen dr. Fader twice for minor surgical procedures and he is personable, knowledgeable and patient. He explains the procedure and followup fully and answers your questions thoroughly. He does have an intake person who was rather curt and not at all helpful on both visits but his surgical assistant was great.

Dr. Fader explains things, well and thoroughly, but concisely. I don't feel rushed, though he is quick, and is always calm and nice. I feel I'm in very gifted and competent hands.

Making my appointment through ZocDoc saved me! Dr. Fader is a popular doctor and didn't have any appts available for a month out when I called over the phone. However, booking through ZocDoc I was able to secure a same-day appt. Wait time was less than 15 minutes (most of that time was me filling out paperwork). Dr Fader and his staff have great bedside manners, makes you feel comfortable, and didn't keep you waiting once in the examination room. Making a follow appt was easy upon check out. Happy patient!
October 26, 2012Yvette D.Verified patient
Dr Fadder was polite, but spent less than 5 minutes with me. He spent no time discussing my concerns- just handed me a brochure, shook my hand and left the room with his nurse. I wasn't even sure if the appointment was over. I would have preferred he never agreed to my appt than to be made to feel like I shouldnt have come and was wasting his time.

: Dr. Fader had a professional way of interacting and dealt with the concern I came to have examined efficiently. He allowed for time to answer my questions, and I felt he answered these inquiries thoroughly enough that I was satisfied.
