Saw Dr. Zaret for mole that I thought might, God forbid, be melanoma. The staff was nice. I saw Dr. Zaret quickly. He was extremely knowledgeable in the manner, assured me it was seborrheic keratosis and unless it grows larger, bleeds, or has a change in color or shape, he doesn’t recommend removal. From a cosmetic standpoint he also recommended inaction and assured me it in no way detracts from my appearance. Dr. Zaret gets an A+ in my book.

My son was running and fell, when he got up there was blood all over. Dr. Zaret took care of my son and gave him stitches. Dr. Zaret explained the entire process, and he put my son and I at ease. Dr. Zaret’s care for my son was obvious. He was calm and patient with my young son, and his manner had such a calming effect on both myself and my son. I am forever grateful to Dr. Zaret not only for his medical knowledge but for his positive demeanor in this stressful situation. I would highly recommend him to anyone!
