Report
My husband and I have been going to Carson dermatology for years. Way before they built their new building over here by the hospital. Yesterday I had to have surgery for the removal of cancer on my lip, unfortunately it's not fun to have the stuff on your face! But I found the staff to be very compassionate kind and gentle. Enjoyed joking around with Dr Tack and giving him a bad time. We recommend this place to all of our friends.

The entire staff was excellent. Dr. Adams besides being personable, is just one of those people that instantly instills confidence regarding her skills. I can't remember ever leaving a Drs. Appointment and feeling that I had lucked out.

From the moment you check in until the time you leave, you get the best care. This office is professional, but relaxed. Dr. Tack is the best and I can't imagine going elsewhere. I place a lot of value on the fact that another physician of mine speaks so highly of him.

The doctors and their staff are thorough, professional, caring, pleasant and friendly. It is easy to call in and make an appointment - the staff always accommodates us since we are driving from Bishop, CA. Dr. Gratrix was really great! My husband and I highly recommend Carson Dermatology.
