Normally I would wait and see how I like a provider over time before writing a review, but I have…read morehad such a great experience with this one already so far, that I just had to Yelp about it. First, let me say that I have seen a few dermatologists in the past 6 years trying to resolve a frustrating skin condition. It has been agonizing paying for and trying dozens of different prescriptions to no avail. And trying to find a good Dermatologist who will listen seemed like a losing battle after reading all the Yelp reviews! A lot of them seem to be just in it for the cosmetic side, which brings them the most money. That was the experience I had with the last one I saw, and I had just about given up when I read about North Metro on Yelp. I decided to send an email to this provider and 5 others asking about how they treat my condition. 4 out of 6 emails garnered some type of lame sales pitch or form letter response. Only this provider and one other (Pinnacle) actually showed concern and reached out and asked questions, asking what I had tried and seemed genuinely wanting to help. I was so impressed with Lindsey, the medical assistant who emailed and talked to me, that I decided to schedule an appointment with Dr. Long. The jury is still out as far as my skin condition goes, but after my appointment yesterday, I have a new treatment plan that I felt part of designing, and most importantly I have HOPE for the first time in a long time. I even thought of more questions after I left, and was able to get them answered by email. I will be updating this review as treatment progresses.

Never did I expect to feel like a goddess while going to a dermatologist but Tareen's team made me…read morefeel that way. I was recommended to the clinic by a few people and reached out to them instead of the U for a skin/spot check after my doctor missed my cancer diagnosis (I'm so glad I kept pestering them and asked for another opinion...thanks Fairview...) Anyway, they already knew my diagnosis at Tareen and they proceeded to do a full body check on all my other spots then they scheduled me for a small surgery to remove the known bad spot. They scheduled me out after the summer to let me enjoy myself before I had sutures and followed up with me about another little troublesome spot that turned out to be nothing but some irritated skin treated with some ointment. When it was time for my surgery Dr Tareen herself asked how my other spot was (I know they have a file they review beforehand but this was so nice and unexpected, her bedside matter is nothing I've ever experienced before - she sees hundreds of people and can still treat each of us like humans). The doctor and the team who cut me and sewed me back up were very nice. I'm glad I brought my book though while waiting in-between checks since the giant TV on the wall with gross pictures made me a little nauseous after a while (and I'm a freakin' vet tech! Maybe I shouldn't have turned down their snacks). Highly, highly recommend Tareen and her team to anyone who needs expert skin care. My husband had a similarly sized spot removed this year as well and he went to the U - his scar is super blotchy and mine you'll barely be able to see in a while. I was thinking I'd get a tattoo to cover it up but I won't have to!

I've been going to Tareen Dermatology for years--back when it was a small, personal practice. Dr…read more Tareen and her team were warm, friendly, and made you feel like more than just a patient. Over time, that personal touch has completely disappeared. Now, it feels like a large, impersonal machine. I see a different provider each visit, and no one stands out. Everyone says the same things and goes through the same motions--like robots. The care feels rushed and disconnected. My recent visit with Dr. Lee was the final straw. She seemed annoyed by my questions and didn't acknowledge my history, even though it's in their system. I left feeling dismissed and frustrated. I've stayed because my records are here, but I won't be back. Bottom line: If you want quick, anonymous care and don't mind seeing someone new every time, this place might work. But if you're looking for personal, consistent care--look elsewhere.

The waiting area is spread out nicely and very clean. There are plenty of up to date magazines to browse through while waiting in addition to countless brochures about conditions I've never even heard of. The staff is good at getting you in as early as possible and really makes an effort to reach out to patients when they have other cancellations occur. They never seem to be running behind schedule and I always get in and out quickly. Dr. Timmons is extremely friendly and always gives her biggest smile and best effort. Another thing I've noticed is that the head dermatologists always seem to have someone much younger and less experienced alongside them. Throughout the whole visit, this person acts pretty much as the nurse but the dermatologist is teaching them and explaining their actions the whole time. I believe that's actual hands on experience is the best way to learn so I enjoy watching this occur. I have only had good experiences here minus the fact that I still don't know why I randomly get hives (gross I know!) but they're working on finding some answers for me and that's all I can ask for!

I had an April 2025 dated appointment confirmed three times. I check in and tell them I'll do the membership pricing for this service. They give me an amount to pay which is $350 over the quote. When asked why, they said It's because my quote was based on "being a patient" and it's been over a year since I've been seen so I'm "not a patient" & the pricing is higher for non patients. They said that even though they hadn't originally told me, the quote expired in February. I remind them I was in there in November & that I received a RX at that time. They would not agree to the original quoted price & I told them what a poor business decision that was & I walked out. So now I'm ACTUALLY not their patient, at my own choice this time. So they'll keep that $50, they need it since they lost my business.

So I have been to a number of dermatologists since I hit puberty. For me the acne thing has always…read morebeen an issue and is still a persistent one. (Though it is better than the way it was when I was young.) I have been seeing Dr. Rahil for a while now. I think it would be a year soon coming up this December. What I like about Dr. Rahil is she is very personable and understanding. She listens to what you have to say, with your experiences with acne med's, needs and/or wants. An example is when doctors recommend that I take Accutane, which I am strongly against, and I generally have to fight and fight them about it. I understand, that yes, I may not have issues when it comes to having to see the Dermatologist and using prescriptions and medications on my face. However, for me and what I know, I would rather do that than take Accutane. Since seeing her my acne has gotten better. We are trying a different treatment regime than what I have used before and it looks as if things are hopefully going to get better. I have had Dr. Rahil treat a keloid that I had on my left shoulder. No issues there or anything. Lastly, I have been seeing their on site esthetician, Natalie, for a while now when it comes to make up and laser hair removal. Natalie is great, and their products, exclusively at NMD, are great as well. I have been using their face cream for a while now and I prefer that compared to Aveeno Positively Radiant, which I was using for awhile. Their laser hair removal was a breeze, only been through one treatment, however I like it. Don't worry it doesn't hurt like how you think it should, barely hurts at all.
