Dr Tanghetti is easy to talk to, cares about your issues and always ensures you understand all of your options.
Dr. Tanghetti and his staff are excellent. They are very professional and punctual. I didn't even have to sit down in the reception area when I checked in. They took me right back to the exam room. Dr. Tanghetti, explained everything to me, and answered all my questions. He made sure that I understood everything he was talking about. My procedure was over in a matter of minutes. Dr. Tanghetti gave me his undivided attention throughout my visit and his last comments to me were to make sure that I did not have any other questions. I could not have had a better experience given the circumstances. Great Job Dr. T.

Very down to earth and explained terms I didn't understand.

He is an excellent doctor who know his field.

I waited 45 minutes for him to come in, overview my face by looking at it, and tell me that I had severe acne. Well, of course I do, that's why I'm here! He was rude, and was more interested in recruiting me for an experiment rather than help me improve my complexion. Instead of putting interest in helping me, he was more interested in helping himself, which I think is definitely NOT the kind of doctor you want to invest in. He has no sympathy at all.
This was the BEST experience I have had at a doctors office in many years. All other doctor offices could learn something on how to run their offices by experiencing Dr. Tanghetti's office!
On every visit to Dr. Tanghetti, I always have the confidence that he and his staff will handle my dermatologic issues with care. My concerns are expertly handled and the service I receive is always first class.
The staff was friendly, sincere, and knowledgable when I came for my appointment. I felt that all my questions were answered and I will definitely be back.
Very knowledgable and informed
He was straight forward with answers to questions, explained his reasons for various possible treatments and instilled confidence. It was well worth my time to travel over two hours for an appointment and I would do it again.
Being a first time patient, everything exceeded my expectations. I would definitely refer family and friends to Dr. Emil Tanghetti
