“It was my first time seeing a dermatologist so I was feeling uneasy. This doctor was great and made the experience very comfortable. ”
Heather R.Less than 1 year ago
“Staff was friendly and helpful, Dr. Tamara saw me quickly but was perceptive and observant. She listened to my concerns and started getting down to figure out what I could have and what plans of action I can take to see improvements. She also then made sure I complete a follow up to see how the plan we agreed on will work. Her assistant was also polite and looked happy to be there. ”

Well, I love Dr. Warren and the girls are all friendly, however, the physician seemed rushed and not a real warm and fuzzy person. All business. Was fine but could be a little more personable.
