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.

Long time patient. He is very accessible, informative, and has a nice bedside manner.

Stay Away
I went to Tankel to remove a cyst on my back. He did a good job. I went to have him remove another one and he dug so deep it left a horrible mark on my back. It is embarrassing. It has been probably 2 years ago and it has not gotten any better. I would stay away from this so called doctor.

He is a good doctor but dealing with his incompetent staff overshadows any positive aspects of a visit. Anticipate problems if you choose this practice.

Extremely negative
The receptionist took all my insurance info and made the appointment, but when I came to the appointment they said that the appointment was cancelled and then that they don't accept my insurance. I've found the name of dr. Tankel on UHC website under my ID of approved providers and then the appointment was cancelled. Nobody called me about the cancellation

Certainly knew his medicine, treatment always appropriate, but severely inhibited in speaking, either reluctant or incapable.

Office staff pulled the wrong file and when I pointed out that it was not my file she was argumentative. She also referred to me as "mamy". I am an a American adult female not a spanish senora. The Doctor was very nice but always seemed exasperated.
