“I had an excellent experience at The Dermatology Center in Bayside. I went in for an evaluation of male pattern baldness and two skin growths and was seen by Phoebe Tam, RPA.
Phoebe was fantastic—knowledgeable, professional, personable, and very easy to talk to. She took the time to explain everything thoroughly, answered all of my questions, and made sure I understood my options. I never felt rushed.
What really impressed me was that she was able to perform a procedure right there during my very first visit. I thought I might have to come back another day, but she took care of it immediately, and it was completely painless.
I really appreciated the level of care and attention I received and left feeling very confident about my treatment. I would highly recommend Phoebe Tam and The Dermatology Center in Bayside. Definitely a 5-star experience!”

Referred by a co worker. Waited for an hour. She said she had a busy day. Hopefully next session less of a wait time.

All staff were very pleasant
January 29, 2025Jacqueline Y.Verified patient
My experience was surprising. I booked with Phoebe Tam, who is a provider I am an established patient with. I got follow up calls and text confirming my appointment with Phoebe Tam. I arrived and checked in and spoke with receptionist who said I was all good. The nurse brought me to the examination room and a totally different doctor showed up. I was never made aware that they were switching me to someone else. The doctor who saw me was fine . I have no complaints about him. But I prefer female doctors and did not like that the office just switched my appointment and NEVER mentioned it to me.
October 23, 2024Therese O.Verified patient
I highly recommend this office. They are efficient and the front desk staff are polite. The PA and assistant were so friendly and had a calm presence. They explained everything clearly.

The nurse and the PA were friendly, professional, and patient. I felt as if they listened closely to my questions and answered them with care. I recommend this practice and intend to refer friends in need of Derm services.
June 24, 2024Millie B.Verified patient
I did not like that I waited over an hour to see the doctor. I was seating there for too long and nobody from the staff said anything to me . I think they should at least an acknowledged that I was waiting there that long . People the came after me were seeing before me. They did kit share any explanation or reason why that happened .
I thought it was rude.

Very friendly. Addressed my needs in a clear concise way. Offered me solutions to my problem. Very satisfied with them so far.
December 12, 2022Michael M.Verified patient
Def a 10/10 - I entrust in PA Phoebe Tam for future visits as she was very knowledgeable and a great listener. She gave clear instructions and diagnoses, for follow-ups and treatments. The office was very professional with excellent structure and procedure. The staff was exceptional. Wait time was decent as I was visiting the first time, there was just a lot of initial paperwork. Other than that, I'm very satisfied and relieved I've found a trustworthy dermatologist.
August 23, 2022Maggie C.Verified patient
I always have a good experience here except for the wait time. You always wait 45-60 min from your appointment time to be seen. Their scheduling is not great.
