| - We found this doctor, by chance, calling through our medical providers directory. They were the first ones that had an appointment available that wasn't weeks out (they actually even squeezed her in after I explained the situation my wife was in).
After I made the appointment for my wife I checked some of the reviews on yelp and sort of began to have mixed feelings. The reason we were looking for a different doctor to begin with was because the doctor/dermatologist my wife had before was awful (full disclosure, avoid Dr. Ken Landow at all costs; super unfriendly and unprofessional staff; has cheap,tacky advertisements for products he sells/applies on large Tv screens in every exam room (this should have been an eye opener at the type of establishment he's trying to run).
However, once we got to Dr. Darzevs office my perception of this doctor and her very well run office changed greatly.
The waiting room was average; sort of loud Tv with some annoying Tv show, but that's fine. Receptionist kind and friendly.
The receptionists are behind a glass sliding wall (which seems sort of strange) but may perhaps be because of privacy for them or because of the loud Tv. Either way, as long as you know what to expect, you shouldn't be too shocked.
Wait time was also average. May have waited max 15 minutes.
Once in the exam room, there was a medical intern resident that took her blood pressure etc and asked about the condition so she could confer with the doctor.
A few minutes later the doctor came in, talked to my wife about her condition, assured her (earnestly) they were going to find out exactly what she had (which is something the other doctor didn't do) and ordered a large range of blood tests. (The dermatologist, only ordered one)
I am writing this review about a week after our visit and we are in the process of receiving our results.
Dr. Darzev also recommend that she visit an actual dermatologist (she gave a personal recommendation) while they wait for all the tests etc.
Long story short, the doctor is great, the doctor is sincere and the doctor take ownership of the situation.
Thank you very much!!
