“I went in for an annual full-body exam. I found it strange that they had me keep my underwear on, but otherwise had a good experience. I will be returning in 8 months for a follow-up appointment.”

When I saw this doc he just didn’t seem to know his stuff. Spent 5 min marveling at the smock I had on. Prescribed heavy steroids to put on my face. Not returning to this guy

Dr. Tumeh is great and competent. Front desk was kinda rude and also did not know to charge me for a copay until I asked them. Seems like the front desk needs help, but good experience with the doctor!

Would highly recommend Dr.Tumeh to anyone . He will talk with you, explain things to you, and listen to you, and laugh with you! What a wonderful doctor! Dr. Tumeh will not rush you. He is kind and patient. Very understanding. Very helpful.
June 26, 2022Sharon J.Verified patient
Their system had my appt scheduled for a week later than zocdoc - but they accommodated me anyhow and the experience was great. He had a solution for things other dermatologists never offered.
November 8, 2021Adam C.Verified patient
Had an excellent experience with Dr Tumeh. Doc was personable and built rapport quickly. He was attentive while listening and thorough in explaining my status as well as his recommended treatment plans. I'll plan to continue visiting indefinitely due to the high quality experience
September 2, 2021Michael M.Verified patient
Appointment was fine. Follow up has been horrible. I’ve called four times about a prior authorization for a recommended procedure and have never heard back after many weeks of waiting and checking back. A very disappointing experience.

Super nice, had a very personal issue i hadn't been talking to anyone for a year about and he empathized, made me feel comfortable and offered solutions immediately. Great work!
More than 1 year agoAnshul A.Verified patient
Great experience. Doctor Tumeh was professional and courteous. He answered all my questions clearly and offered sound advice for my skin health.
August 22, 2019Lucy F.Verified patient
The wait was standard. When Paul came in he showed his expertise by quickly and confidently diagnosing a couple of my problems, and providing treatment options. When I asked, he openly explained his thought process and also what was actually occurring—including a quick sketch on paper. Not every patient wants the details, but a lot do, such as in my case.
Smart, professional, and friendly. Highly recommended.
June 13, 2019Thuan N.Verified patient
Probably one of the best experiences I've had with a doctor. To give context, I'm a guy in my late 20's who hasn't really spent a time at a derm before, but had some issues pop up. Paul was super easy to talk through them. World class, lemme tell ya.
March 14, 2019Daniel M.Verified patient
Dr. Tumeh was extremely helpful in taking the time to talk through a number of related conditions I am dealing with to help me feel confident that I shouldn't be concerned about interactions or problems with other treatments and issues. He was kind and extremely personable.
January 17, 2019Jonathan W.Verified patient
Although it took a while to see me, he was able to diagnose my concern quickly and was understanding that I was under a time crunch. He was friendly and helpful. Would recommend.

I’ve been to this clinic twice and both times have waited at least 40 minutes before I was seen. Will likely go elsewhere in the future.
June 7, 2018Initials hidden
Really friendly and engaged! I'll often meet doctors who rush from one patient to the next, but Dr. Tumeh took the time to understand any history and concerns and offer sound advice.
June 7, 2018Madeline S.Verified patient
Thorough and willing to explain things, he's also a nice change from dermatologist who are quick to biopsy every mole, instead opting to monitor attentively
March 22, 2018Mathieu G.Verified patient
My first visit with Dr Tumeh was great, really straightforward and smart professional. Ask questions, he has answers to any of them. Looking forward to my next visit next month!
March 7, 2018Giulia A.Verified patient
Great and listened to what I had to say and answered all my questions. Speedy appointment and I left confident that I'll feel better soon.
More than 1 year agoElaine S.Verified patient
Dr. Tumeh was very nice and explained things in a clear way. One reason I was delaying going to a dermatologist was because last wasn't very pleasant with a previous Dr. I would very much recommend him.
January 19, 2017Jeffrey D.Verified patient
He was friendly and eased my worries about my skin. It was an incredibly fast appointment, which was nice because I had to get back to work. I definitely recommend Dr Tumeh to anyone looking for a chill, yet professional dermatologist.
