Greenbrae Dermatology

Dr. Zand is pretty much the best there is. She makes you feel important, no issue seems too silly to ask and the office is wonderful. I approached her initially for a second opinion and boy was she opening my eyes to what my REAL treatment should be. I will never go to anyone else. 100% trust her! A professional with great integrity! She is truly amazing!

I highly recommend Dr. Tanasovich and Dr. Maddox. Dr. Maddox had to remove a weird skin piece on my back. I’m not a fan of needles. He was so good!!! I never even felt the shot to numb my area. His personality and humor just put my mind at ease and truly made the procedure painless. Thank you!!! During the healing process I thought it looked infected and had to call the office after hours. His support was amazing and set my mind at ease once again!!!
Can’t thank you enough for your wonderful support!!!

Dr. Cheryl Tanasovich was prompt for my appointment, courteous, direct and very professional. She treated a minor skin issue for me in such a way that I was not only in and out of the office inside of 30 minutes but the issue has gone away. I do not hesitate to recommend her and her staff to the public.

I’m a redhead, so going to the dermatologist is a twice-​annual affair for me. I’ve seen many many skin doctors in the Bay Area and I am so glad I found Dr. Zand! She is very personable and efficient! I was able to get an appointment in a timely manner, there was plenty of free parking in the lot at the office, and the staff was super friendly.
I was seeing Dr. Zand for a regular mole check-​up but when she asked me if I was interested in skincare recommendations, I said yes. She sent me home with samples of Elta sunscreen that I LOVE! The Elta MD UV Clear SPF 46 is the best sunscreen I have ever used (no smell, rubs in easily). I highly recommend this doctor.

I’ve been going to this office for years now and have always liked their professionalism and courtesy. For the last three years I’ve been seen by Dr. Zand; she’s very nice, understanding and knows what needs attention. I have sun damage due to many years of not taking heed when I was younger. I know I’m in good hands when she’s checking out my skin. I’m always glad to see her. She is extraordinarily capable and smart. I also made an appointment to have my teenage daughter checked by her for some skin concerns. Dr. Zand is great!

Bad Reviews? Huh.
I loved Dr. Zand and the front office staff was friendly and very pleasant. I never felt rushed, in fact quite the opposite.
Sometimes its the patients who are out of control, incompetent, rude and self righteous; go to dermatologist when they should be headed to a podiatrist and have one heck of a whopping mole…

They rush you through an appointment and if you go for more than one item, they make you come back for a second appointment to deal with the second item. It seems like they are mostly interested in racking up more fees and put more money in their pockets. I also went to them for a toe nail issue and both Drs Zand and Tanasovich were clueless, even though they made statements with certainty that were absolutely wrong and incorrect.

Dr. Zand is a gifted doctor. I have teenage daughters with an array of vexing skin issues. Non are life-​threatening but when you are a teenager you can be super sensitive about how your skin looks and feels. Dr. Zand engages the girls as team members in their own treatment. She treats them with dignity, kindness and caring and they have fully bought into what they need to do to adhere to treatment protocols. And they have had positive results — including a significant reduction in anxiety about their skin. I did notice a review that wasn’t very complimentary about the office staff. I can say that the front office service has improved quite a bit in the last couple of months from what it was when we first started going there!

I have been a patient of Dr. Zand’s for 2+ years. She is AMAZING! I see her for a whole range of dermatological services (skin cancer check-​ups, Botox, filler, skin care products, etc.). At this point I would be very, very hesitant to go to anyone but Dr. Zand. I checked out her credentials before I chose her. She is HARVARD educated and I noticed that she has also been an expert skin MD on national news programs. Her skill and educational level are exceptional, yet she is also so kind and caring. Dr. Zand will spend the time to hear and address your concerns. She is without a doubt the most skilled Dermatologist I have even been to.

During a visit to see my Fiancé in Tiburon she convinced me to go to a dermatologist to have some spots checked out on my chest (well she actually insisted I go :)). She sent me to Dr. Zand whose staff got me an appointment with short notice.
After the standard filling out several forms I was escorted to an examination room. Dr. Zand didn’t leave me waiting long, in fact it was one of the shortest waits I have had at a doctor’s office in a long time. The great news was that the spots on my chest were just from aging and were not a health threat.
What impressed me about Dr. Zand is that as she examined my back, chest, arms and face she stopped at each tiny spot of anything and explained to me what it was, if there was any future threat from it and what to watch out for if it changes. I was expecting a «you have no problems, you’re fine». Surprisingly what I got was a great deal of knowledge about my skin and what to look for to detect problems in the future. To me, that is what the modern doctor should be doing… helping me know when it’s time get medical attention instead of waiting until its too late.
Best of all Dr. Zand was very friendly and interesting to talk to. I just wish she had an office in Salt Lake City where I am from!

Wonderful doctor! I have visited Dr. Zand a couple of times for rosacea and a couple other dermo concerns and I found her not only knowledgeable, but also very personable and genereous with her time. She was obviously well-​informed, but I was especially impressed with her willingness to answer all my questions and explain every step of my treatment. I would wholeheartedly make more frequent visits for skin maintenance and ongoing healthy skin if I lived closer…

Do not go here! The office staff is the worst combination of incompetent, rude and self righteous I have ever encountered. I am still reeling from my experience there today.
I showed up for my scheduled appointment today (I go every 4 – 6 months for botox and general skin care) and after a wait, was ushered into an exam room by a medical assistant. She did the usual history, allergies, general health etc. Then she handed a dismissal letter! No explanation. I was shocked– dismissed!?- When I requested to speak with the office manager for a reason. She came out from hiding in her office to inform me that I was being dismissed because of a missed appointment. The office manager, had it in for me– she was hostile, argumentative and obviously does not like dealing with people. She treated me as if I had stolen from her.
First off all, I never missed an appointment– I am however guilty of rescheduling my appointments– always at least a week before. As a working mother of three toddlers, my schedule is crazy and the $ 600-​$ 800 I spend at the office for botox and other items is not always in the monthly budget. So I did call several times and rescheduled. The women who answered the phone call (alsways a new one, never well trained or efficient) always seem to be juggling phone calls and I was constantly being put on hold. I believe that their receptionist obviously made scheduling errors and failed to cancel my old appointments, which made them believe that I «no showed».
My complaints are
If i was going to be dismissed from the office
1. Why did they allow me to schedule another appoinntment?
2. Why did they not call and cancel my appointment if they were going to refuse to see me?
3. Why was I brougt into an examing room, asked very private questions about my health and medical history if I was never going to be seeing a doctor?
4. The hostile way in which I was addressed– they WANTED to argue and accuse.
What I find the most troubling is not only the arguementative and condescending tone that I was addressed with, but the fact that it seems that they INTENTIONALLY tried to humiliate me by bringing me into the office under the pretense of an appointment, creating a vulnerable aptmoshere of sitting in the exam room and answering personal questions before «dismissing me». I have never been treated so horrible and am disgusted that a physician would allow her staff to treat paitents/​people that way.

Dr. Zand is amazing.
She helped me during a very difficult time when I had alopecia areata with a large area of hair following out on top of my scalp, and thanks to her and her treatments, my hair has grown back. Not only is she professional, but she is very warm and personable.
Also, the office staff is great!

Dr. Zand is not only highly educated in her field (which to me was extremely comforting), but she is very detailed and thorough with her treatments. She is very patient and sweet, and makes me feel comfortable, even though I ask way too may questions, actually taking the time to address them in detail. I trust her implicitly with my botox treatments, and would highly recommend her!

She’s a good doctor, very friendly and so is her office staff. I recommend her!
