I have been going to Dr. Zabel for many years, usually twice a year, because I am outside quite a bit playing golf. I am very satisfied with his thorough checkups. Better safe than sorry. I have been very pleased with the manner in which the staff has functioned during the past year and a half. I have always been very satisfied with the care I have received at this office and have referred a few others to Dr Zabel. Overall experience was great, Barb is awesome, she answered my questions, the appointment was on time and lasted for what was expected.

Dr. Zabel and his colleagues are always respectful. I never feel like I am standing there naked for the world to see. They ask me questions about any skin issues that I may have concerns about as well as checking areas that have high sun exposure like my face and arms. I have had one negative biopsy. Three of my sisters have had skin cancers, one quite serious. Dr. Zabel is thorough and asks me to return if I have any concerns before my next annual skin review.

I did go back this year as I had a skin lesion on my face that was not healing after eight months. I received an ointment that healed the lesion within ten days much to my relief. I was again advised to return if I didn't have positive results within two weeks. I never felt I was a bother to them or an unimportant patient. They take concerns seriously.

I have been with center for dermatology for over 3 years. I absolutely love them! I have had psoriasis for 9 years now. 3 of my coworkers are also patients. Before I came here I had a doctor who told me to wear ointment and Saran Wrap to bed and a shower cap and oil to bed. How is that comfortable? She made me feel bad when I didn't do exactly as she told me.

Anyone who has psoriasis knows it's very hard to manage. I was in a light booth and they kept burning me. I was so angry because it felt like she didn't understand or really care. Center for dermatology was completely different. Dr. Zabel was my first appointment and helped me get on Humira. I then saw Joanne Ostman. I love her, she has never given up on me trying to clear my skin and pain.

She does not make me feel bad if I forget to use my ointment or oil. She simply keeps helping with other solutions. The Humira ended up stop working so she put me on Cosentyx. I have clear skin and no pain over a a year and half. They are quick, and come up with resolution. The office staff is great as well. When I walk in she knows my name and checks me in right away. I'm so impressed with how fast and efficient they are. Have I mentioned I LOVE them!?! I hope you do too.

My daughter was very young and had a vein protruding on her face. They were very helpful explaining everything and that the treatment may take several visits. She went three times and is now red spot free and in 3rd grade! I am very pleased with how they helped her stay calm and they used safety gear to protect her eyes. It was VERY affordable. I thank God for them and will be going back if needed for anything else. Their laser machine does wonderful work on veins.

The Center For Dermatology has taken care of me for a long time. Dr. Zabel performed a Mohs procedure on me several years ago and I have been cancer free since. I go for annual checkups and find the staff always courteous and prompt. Dr. Zabel is always thorough and takes time to listen and educate. I would recommend the Center to anyone looking for a good honest Dermatologist. Thanks! ~Kevin

I have seen Dr. Zabel for routine skin checks and Botox. He and his team are always professional and take time to answer questions. I also see Barb, the aesthetician with the practice, on a monthly basis for skin treatments. I look forward to my appointments. Barb is very knowledgeable about skin care and is trained in many procedures. I am very happy with my results.

I have been extremely happy with the Center for Dermatology over the years. I absolutely love the staff. They are always knowledgeable, friendly and punctual. I am now bringing my elderly mother in for treatment and they are so helpful! From anti aging treatments to biopsies to Mohs surgery- every procedure is handled with care.

I have been going to Center For Dermatology for several years now so I think it's about time I write a review. The service I receive each and every time I go is top notch. It starts with the staff at the front desk who are always warm and welcoming. I never had to wait very long in the waiting room before one of the very knowledgeable nurses came to get me.

I mostly see Dr Zabel who is so professional and very thorough. He explains everything in a way that I understand and I feel very comfortable to ask any question. I have seen the PA once or twice and she is very good as well. Overall I am so pleased with the service I receive at this clinic and would never go anywhere else. I highly recommend Dr Zabel and his staff to anyone who needs a dermatologist.
