Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Dr Toome is the very best in SJ.
I have had all 3 types of skin cancer and she is the very best in South Jersey. I would really her highly!

First Time Visit with Dr. Toome
I personally liked Dr. Toome. It was my first visit with her and she made me feel very comfortable. I felt that she answered all my questions. I would definitely go to her again.

absolutely, best Dermatologist in NJ
Dr. Birgit Toome has used a laser to flatten and totally improve my scar tissue, provided mole checks, provided me with injectables and skincare items in a caring and professional manner. There is no skin issue that she cannot address and correct. She has the most friendly and professional demeanor. You'll love her services and your visit.

I have seen Dr. Toome a few times now. She may not be as personable as some people like but I'm not looking for a friend, I needed a good dermatologist. She has removed questionable moles which healed perfectly. I do have to wait a bit when I'm there but that's with any good doctor.

Great visit
I went to Dr Toome for 2nd time. The first time they found basil cell carcinoma and she had to take it all out. She got it all out and no more basil cell there. It took 9 stitches and you can barely see the scar. I went back yesterday for full body check and to check out another small lump which was just from shaving. So, all good. She came in, talked to me, checked everything out. As she was leaving the room she stopped and asked if I had any questions and I did. She stopped and answered and I did not feel rushed at all. She has been doing this for awhile and I trust her.

She should have her medical license revoked!
She is incompetent at the highest level. There is not enough space for me to describe how terrible she is. She is arrogant, dismissive and does not know about general causes of elevated blood work. Causes unnecessary stress with demeanor and medical suggestions. I will leave you with one of the many issues I had with her. Everyone has to fill out paperwork in regards to their medical history when you go to the doctor. During my surgery she was surprised as to how much I was bleeding, which took awhile to stop. I have heart issues and take an aspirin everyday, I needed to inform her of that when she asked if I was taking any blood thinners? She should have known that! Then when my LDH test came back high she called to ask if I had any heart issues and recommended that I see a cardiologist. I was confused to say the least. Unfortunately I am out of space. She is the worst.

Best dermatologist ever!
Best dermatologist I’ve ever been to. Used to live right near the office and now live 45 minutes away but will continue to see her. Skilled, knowledgeable, no nonsense and very kind. Works fast and insures my comfort. Her office staff is fabulous and in 3 years of visits(about 4x yearly) was never in the waiting room longer than 15 minutes. Highly recommend!

unheard
my appointment with here was at 3:15pm and i wasn’t seen until 4pm. after being called back to the room i had to wait an additional 15 mins before been seen by her. throughout this visit i felt very unheard and rushed and that she didn’t want to take the time to listen to me and all she cared about was her money …. not only was the copay 88 dollars but also to be rushed and feel like I was being a bother and couldn’t even be treated with respect was very disappointing. would NOT ever recommend to anyone.

I had a bad experience with Dr. Toome. She rushes through my visits. They charged me a Co- pay and had to reimburse me. As of now, I haven't received a call for specific medications she ordered. It's been over 2 months since my last visit . I will not recommend anyone there.

Rushed, arrogant, accused of self diagnosing. I'm pretty sure she never even looked at my chart or she would have seen that it was another dermatologist from her medical group that had diagnosed me. Don't waste your time with an arrogant know-it-all that only cares about the money received for a three minute visit. The staff was impeccable and friendly, but I felt sorry they needed to deal with her all day.

When I had a visit there, I always saw another doctor, he was great. I saw her, was not kind, in a rush to go to next person. I called to make an appointment recently and they told me the office in Vineland had closed. I was never sent a letter or a call to let me know, I needed to see a doctor right away, but now to make an appointment with another office will take me some time to go in. Their other offices are few away., disappointed.

After over an hour wait in the waiting room, I then waited for another half hour in the exam room, for her to come in and do a 60 second look over my body. I was there for a full body check and to have a certain mole checked. I in no way feel confident that my body was checked thoroughly for any signs of skin cancer. I did have the mole removed that I had concern about and when Dr. Toome put the anesthetic in, she injected the whole syringe in 1 fast shot. I almost jumped off of the table.

Few years ago went into Appearance Dermatology for a lip filler. I had the misfortune of being worked on by her. She Spent less than 5 minutes hearing about what I wanted &she INSISTED that I was going to need 2 syringes. After poorly injecting it and deforming my lips she refused to administer the soluble solution and non chalantly said it was because she never did that but she could cut my lip and drain it and I could have it out that way! Truly a nightmare worst experience. Don't waste your $

Long wait time for doctor who said if I wasn't prepared to wait in the future, I would have to see assistant. She was totally disinterested in my description of symptoms but in a rush to give injections before diagnosing the issue. The worst experience with a physician that I have ever had.

I read reviews before booking with a doctor. Dr. Toome had low scores but a couple of people recommended her so I figured to give her a try. The office visit was rushed. I didn't feel like she took her time during the visit. She was quick to tell me what kind of products I needed for my face. Moles were my concern not my face. Office was clean and staff were friendly.
