I highly recommend my dermatologist for the excellent care I received during my skin cancer evaluation and treatment. From the first appointment, she was professional, thorough, and reassuring, explaining each step clearly and taking the time to answer all of my questions. Her expertise inspired great confidence. The staff in the office are equally impressive: efficient, welcoming, and attentive, making every visit smooth and comfortable. The facility itself is modern, well-organized, and impeccably maintained. Altogether, the combination of skilled medical care, supportive staff, and an excellent clinical environment made what could have been a stressful experience feel safe and well-managed.

I have been seeing’s Taghipour since the start of 2020 for mole mapping and other skin checks, following a melanoma diagnosis. Dr Taghipour is clearly an experienced and knowledgeable doctor who demonstrates real expertise with the derma-scope and mole mapping equipment. She is always very thorough with her approach and is decisive and clear with her decisions. She has also excised numerous lesions from my skin, which have always gone very well and healed very neatly. I feel very glad to be in the care of Dr Taghipour and find her to be highly diligent and effective.

I have been a patient of Dr. Taghipour for over ten years. She is by far the best dermatologist I’ve consulted. I travel from New York City to London for her expert care, which consistently delivers excellent results. She patiently explains treatment options and provides clear, thoughtful recommendations. I’ve always been impressed with her professionalism and the quality of her care. Highly recommended!
