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.

Not recommended
Kim Tang MD is not a Dr I would recommend. Her focus is not being on time to your appointment. She over books herself and made me wait over an hour, even though you’ve scheduled an appointment. She is not patient and goes back on her word. She charged me for a procedure even though she said she wouldn’t since she was the one that made a mistake. She said she would give me a discount on fixing the mistake she made. I will never come back to her.

Not Good!
Went in, waited 40 minutes in the room, she did quick glances from a foot away no light or magnification. Then Spent 30 minutes trying to sell her cash only products. Felt like I was in a movie with a doctor character who was pretending to care or know anything about Dermatology. Waste of time. And more importantly what if she didn’t catch something serious because of her lack of even looking? If you want to go to a derm who only wants to sell you expensive cash only products go to her.

Horrible Experience
Aetna Medicare sent authorization to see Dr. Tang. Dr. Tang sent me next-door to Dr. Critelli. I arrived early for my appt. and sat and waited over 45 min. watching stupid cat videos. I was told "Dr. Critelli is busy and I don't know when you will be seen". Medicare patients are low on the priority list - the doctors are only interest in money making dermatology. Avoid this office unless you want to lay out some cash.

Disrespectfuly Medical Practicd – Dec 20, 2022
×Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Tang?
The office called to come in early and had to wait 30-40 minutes and no one came out to let me know that they running behind. Finally got called in and had to wait another 20 minutes in the room with paper gown. Dr. Tang came in and was agitated and took out aggravation out on me. Very disappointed…she should be fired. Very rough with me and not gentle at all. Doctor was complaining and seemed like she took out her aggravations out in me.

Awful. I will never be back. This woman and her staff are rude and completely lacking professionalism. She overcharges and I am appalled that her staff would call me after I left her office and told me they would charge me a “No Show Fee” because I declined services. I am reporting her.

I went to visit dr tang twice and each time waited over an hour and a half past my appointment time to see her and left feeling like it was a waste of time as the issues I wanted her to address she brushed over and acted like they werent a concern without even examining what i mentioned i wanted her to look at.

I’ve seen Dr tang twice now and think she’s excellent. She burned a great deal of pre-cancerous growths off. Did not push products on me but gave me recommendations which was very helpful. The prices the clinic charges are in range of those found on Amazon and I would rather support a small clinic than jeffbexos.

Although she is a very good doctor, her office practice is very poorly run. She is always running late. I have waited 1 hour often and even walked out several times because of the delay. Such a shame. I now go to another dermo practice that runs on time and it is such a nice experience.

I've never been to a doctor before who tries to sell you so many products sold in the offfice. I want a physician not a salesperson. I'm going elsewhere.

I have been going to see Dr. Tang for many years, and there is a reason I keep going back. She is knowledgeable, and personable. She is very good at listening to what you are concerned about and addressing the issues.
