I've been a patient for several years now and have always had a very good experience with Dr. Taub regarding my skin issues and concerns. My only feedback is how far out we need to book appointments with her, but completely understand how in demand her expertise in her field is on a global level. So lucky to have her here in two locations! Always recommend her practice when the topic comes up.

After a brush with two skin cancers, Dr. Taub remains my front line defense against an insidious disease. Her thorough examinations during my regular check ups are reassuring. I know that Dr. Taub will catch any development that I might miss. And she is there for any sudden changes!

Very good experience with Dr. Taub. Excited to see the results! Only downside is the lengthy wait time to be seen (-1 star). Although, in general I feel the wait is worth it to get the best care/treatment by Dr. Taub and hopefully the best results as well. In terms of pain the numbing cream works wonders and I didn't really feel a thing.

I saw Ann Cameron Sheiber for an acute issue and her kindness and empathy were outstanding. She also prescribed meds that improved my condition drastically within three days. She considered my specific medical needs when making recommendations, asked questions and made helpful suggestions. She is a fantastic provider. I can’t say enough about how at ease she put me despite the extreme physical discomfort I was experiencing.
“Excellent experience”

Okay, I have to be honest here. I waited total of over 8 weeks to write this review. I do not write reviews but given I read review for trusculpt 3d before deciding I would like to try it. Everything is excellent from the consultation and staff are all so friendly, professional no doubt and or complaint about that. The procedure itself don't work, IT'S NOT WORTH IT specially for the cost. I should have tried cheap detox and I probably get a better result. I eat and exercise regularly as well
“Excellent staff and facility, Procedure : Trusculpt 3d not worth it!”

I have seen Dr. Taub for minor skin and hair issues and for burn scar removal. Dr. Taub listens carefully, is thoughtful about the treatments she recommends, and is well informed about other medical conditions that may be complicating factors. My only concern is that sometimes the wait can be long, but I appreciate that when she sees me she does not rush. She is kind and personable.

Dr. Taub is truly wonderful. This was my second time receiving treatment and any issues that occurred during the first treatment (unexpected skin response to the anesthetic, nothing that was a mistake on the part of MD or assistant) was addressed and the second treatment was adjusted to receive the best results possible. The office in general is great to respond to questions or issues to make your overall experience a success. I recommend Dr. Taub for skincare treatment and procedures.

Dr. Taub has been my dermatologist for more than twenty years. Although, I live 45 minutes away I seek cosmetic treatment from her because she believes in a lite touch . I end up looking like myself but refreshed.

After a body check it was determined that I should have a small and somewhat suspicious mole on my back removed. It turned out it had some pre-cancerous cells so I am so glad I came for the check and the doctor noticed it. The office always runs on time and making an appointment is quick and easy.
