Impressive, 7/5/2011

Marc H. says:

I visited Dr. Tirgan for the first time last week. After sitting in the waiting area awaiting to be called, Dr, Tirgan walked by, greeted me personally by my name and a handshake and advised that he would see me in a few minutes. That personal touch says a lot about his practice and caring shown to patients. I was very impressed.

 


Superb,  6/30/2011

CC T. says: I met Dr. Tirgan for the first time this week after having corresponded (via email) for awhile, about the cryotherapy procedure for my keloid. He was very informative about what will be done, how my skin will react, and expressed the importance of him staying up to date on my progress. I have been struggling with keloids for years and I am excited and feel about having him remove and treat my keloid.


 

Elaine L. says:  Dr. Tirgan was professional, very nice and respectful. I would go back to him for any services needed. He was great to deal with.

Uvannie E. says: Dr. Tirgan is very accommodating and engaging. He is extremely sensitive to the psychological trauma that a skin condition carries. I would recommend him to everyone.

The Best Experience!

Donna D. says: For several years, I had a very large, uncomfortable keloid on my navel. It was cut off on two separate occasions, but grew back after about 4 months. Still I wanted to try one more time to remove the keloid, so I decided to try this procedure I read about called cryotherapy. I came across Dr Tirgan’s website www.skin212.com, liked the information he provided and decided to schedule a consultation. The moment I met Dr, Tirgan, he immediately put me at ease with his patience, and professional manner. I learned so much from him during the consultation, I decided to have the keloid removed that day. It’s been six months, my navel looks great, I feel fantastic, and Dr. Tirgan still continues to monitor my progress! I cannot express how grateful I am to have found a doctor with the wisdom, knowledge and professionalism of Dr. Tirgan! Thank you for being such an excellent doctor!

Dear Dr. Tirgan,

Good morning. Thank you for treating the spots on my legs last night. This morning, I took a brisk walk, so as to absorb my first dose of sun. There is absolutely no pain at all, and I am very much looking forward to monitoring the progress of this treatment.  I’ll be in touch with your office today to set up a follow-up appointment for early June.  Again, thank you for your time and expertise yesterday; I cannot thank you enough for your professionalism, as well as genuine conversation. With kindest regards,

JM

Everything was great.  You have the best approach to patients.  I don't see any problems.  You have the most quality in terms of treating the patient. I am so satisfied with the service. The book an appointment online is very convenient and fast. Thank you.  Monique. N

Hi Dr. Tirgan:

First off, thank you for helping me with my skin tag today.  It has been a long process to bring myself to get treatment for it because it was so embarrassing for me.  You were so professional and really eased my nerves.  I greatly appreciate it. :)  I'm writing because I had a question. ----------------------------------------------

Thanks for you help! My Best~ AB


EXCELLENCE!

Hello Dr. Tirgan! 

How are you? I am doing well. The results were fantastic! I have picked up a new job in Jersey City, so I will be by in a few months to take care of 3 more :-)!  Thank you so much! Sincerely, Cory D.


Anxiously waiting

3/5/2011

Denise C. says: I recently saw Dr. Tirgan to have skin tags on my eyes removed (one in particular that was right above my lash line &was very uncomfortable), and a small scar on my cheek; I decided to go to him b/c I saw he removes them cryogenically, which was a big relief. I had seen numerous dermatologists &they all wanted to snip them off, which I was way too apprehensive to do on my eyes. The cryogenesis did burn a little, but was not too bad &Dr. Tirgan was very patient, kind & accommodating. My 1st visit was on Tuesday 3/1, today is Saturday 3/5 &already the scar on my cheek fell off and is healing, and the small skin tags on my eyes have fallen off, the medium &larger sized ones have all started to lose circulation &turn black. So far I am very happy with the process and cant wait to see the final results! I will definitely recommend Dr. Tirgan's services to anyone with skin tags in a sensitive area. -Denise C.

I'd like to highly recommend Dr. Tirgan to anyone looking for intelligent treatment that will yield quick results. I've been to the office at least three times, and will not hesitate to go back. Very knowledgeable and professional treatment, that makes you feel in great hands. The results are unbelievable.

Hi Dr. Tirgan,

I hope that you are doing well.  Firstly, I wanted to say that I am so happy with the results of the spots we treated last time!  Aside from the normal redness, almost all of the spots on my legs have disappeared (and all of the tiny ones we did on my arms).  So thank you so much for that!  I was hoping to book an appointment to see you the week of March 6.  ---------.  Thanks so much.  I am seriously so happy with the recent results!


Amazing scar-free treatment
2/1/2011
Remus P. says:
I have been getting treated for 2 moles on my nose and one on my head that were getting very annoying. i decided on cryotherapy cause I didn't want scars on my nose caused by other procedures. after a few treatments i am seeing a huge improvement and the moles on my nose are almost completely gone while the one on my head has fallen off and disappeared completely. Dr Tirgan is knowledgeable and amazing Dr. and I recommend him to anyone who is debating on cryotherapy.


Would highly recommend Dr. Tirgan's services
1/21/2011
Stephanie L. says: I came in to have a mole on my face removed, and after a few treatments I am very satisfied with the results. Dr. Tirgan is very knowledgeable, patient, and accommodating to his patients. Though I came into my first visit a bit skeptical, I left my final visit very happy. I would recommend his services to anyone.


Great Doctor, Excellent Service...

12/10/2010

Joseph O. says: I have been dealing with skin tags located on a private area on my body for a long time. I got these skin tags as a result from another condition I had. As a 39 year old male I felt embarrassed to seek out help because these skin tags are located on part of the body that we normally don't talk about. I also became very discouraged because I sought help from quite a few doctors and surgeons and each of them told me that these skin tags are harmless and it's not medically necessary to have them removed. One doctor even recommended I use a anti-bacterial astringent every time I use the bathroom to fight infection. Besides the possibility of getting an infection, there is a hygiene problem that I can not live with. I could not go on this way for the rest of my life so I was determined to find someone who could help me because I felt that my quality of life was diminishing. I was searching the web and came across Dr. Tirgan who performs a procedure known as cryotherapy to remove skin tags safely and effectively. I emailed Dr. Tirgan instead of calling because I found it much easier to express myself in witting than to call on the phone. I explained my problem and asked Dr. Tirgan if he could help me. Within hours of sending him my email he replied back saying he would be glad to help me and he is confident that he would be able to get rid of all these skin tags for me. He asked me to call or make an appointment online to come see him. I quickly went to his web site www.skin212.com and made an appointment online and I got an appointment for the following evening. After he gave me a check up he was confident that he could help me. He asked if I would like to start the treatment immediately or come back another time. I replied "YES, lets start this". The treatment was surprisingly painless and the doctor made me feel comfortable in this situation. I found Dr. Tirgan to be very professional, knowledgeable and just a caring, friendly individual. I feel confident that Dr. Tirgan will help me. Dr. Tirgan has made my experience very comfortable and I feel lucky I found him. I would definitely recommend him to others and I sure will be seeing him again. Thank You...


A Wonderful Experience!

12/1/2010

Donna D. says: Dr Tirgan is treating a Keloid on my navel. Over a four period of time, the Keloid was cut off and grew back twice. I found out Keloids were successfully treated with Cryotherapy, which led me to Dr. Tirgan. I scheduled a consultation and received my first treatment that evening. I was immediately impressed with Dr. Tirgan's professionalism, warmth and clarity in explaining Cryotherapy treatment. He immediately put me at ease, carefully explained the procedure, and answered all my questions. He really cares about what he does, and wants make sure his patients fully understand they're about to experience and how to take care of ourselves. Everything is going according to schedule and look forward to my followup appointment. Thank you Dr. Tirgan!!!

 


The Most Caring, Dedicated, and Knowledgeable Doctor I Have Ever Met.

11/10/2010

Monte G. says: This letter is written from my heart referencing the extraordinary care, skill and personal effort put forth by Dr. Michael Tirgan in treating a 4th stage metastatic right breast cancer which manifested itself in my wife starting in October, 2009. Being a cancer research doctor, as well as treating a small patient base, keeps Dr. Tirgan on the cutting edge of cancer treatments. My wife’s cancer had metastasized to the liver, bone, and meninges by the time we started treatment with Dr. Tirgan. His devotion to her care and well-being, as well as his knowledge of the proper medicines to apply has been the reason for her progression on the road to recovery. Systemically, from the neck down, the cancer is almost completely under control, and his change to a new estrogen inhibitor which has the ability to penetrate the blood-brain barrier and the targeted radiation therapy has, hopefully, abated the cancer in the brain as well. Dr. Tirgan’s treatment was not without its setbacks: surgery for a broken femur following a fall led to multiple blood clots in both legs and a pulmonary embolism in her right lung. Subcutaneous injections twice a day for the next six months, minimum, as well as 10 days of Cipro (an antibiotic) to combat a possible kidney/bladder infection, forced Dr. Tirgan to place the cancer therapy on a back burner, temporarily, but did nothing to dampen his upbeat demeanor for Sheila and me. At no time did he ever show us anything but a positive attitude and a total commitment to her eventual complete recovery. We will know better in a few months, after a follow-up MRI of the brain whether she has completely recovered from the cancer, but, in any event, she is moving inexorably forward towards regaining her normal lifestyle, and my most sincere and heartfelt thanks, therefore, go to Dr. Michael Tirgan, who exemplifies what it means to wear the title: “DOCTOR.” He is truly a healer in every sense of the word.


What a great doctor

11/10/2010

Frank D. says: He is incredibly kind, knowledgeable, takes the time to explain things thoroughly and never rushes. I highly recommend him and I wish he was my GP.


Wonderful human being !

Susie R. says: The kindest, most gentle, understanding and caring Doctor I've ever met ! Wish they were ALL like him !!!

Dr. Tirgan is fantastic!

Sandra P. Says: I first started going to Dr. Tirgan about a year ago. I just expected your usual hasty NYC doctor who has more important things to think about than you/your case. But Dr. Tirgan is more like if you went to see your uncle who was a doctor. His bedside manner is impeccable and he makes you feel very comfortable whilst simultaneously giving you his expert care and advice. Once I called to make an appointment and Dr. Tirgan himself answered the phone and was sincerely concerned about my problem--that is how committed he is! He seems to be always working. As I understand it, he works all day at Saint Luke's Hospital (or is it Columbia Presbyterian?) and then as if working all day at the hospital weren't enough, he treats patients in the evening! So he is obviously committed to his work. He is personable and down-to-earth. When you are with him he seems to really BE there; not distracted and only half there, and he seems to really want to do the best he can to help you. He also has a lovely family, and sometimes his son fills in when the secretary is sick--it's very homey. You are in good hands with Dr. Tirgan! I will continue going to him for various skin problems.


Polite, Professional, Efficient

8/11/2010

Laura H. says: Dr. Tirgan sat down, looked at my tattoo, discussed options, gave me a set price, and then did a patch test to see how his solution would work. He did this for free. He was polite, informative, kind, warm, interested. His price was more than reasonable, and I look forward to working with him to remove the tattoo. His office is clean, warm, relaxing, and it's easy to book next appointments. Great service all the way around.


Excellent Doctor

8/6/2010

Sarah W. says: Dr Tirgan was very polite and patient with me, I was impressed that he came out into the waiting room to greet me and shook my hand. He explained the procedure thoroughly and although I was only booked in for a consultation, after deciding I wanted to go ahead with the treatment he was able to treat me there and then. I'm very happy with the level of care and service, would recommend to and will definitely be using in the future.


Hello Dr. Tirgan,
All is well, and you were right. It took roughly a week for the warts to fall off. Now my skin is just a bit sensitive and now my skin is just a reddish/pink. I'm assuming that'll go away as well? Take Care. (July 9, 2010)


Hi Dr. Tirgan,

It looks good, the last of the spots fell off yesterday, they're all healing now. I look forward to the next appointment when we should hopefully be able to take care of the rest of them.  (VS 7/7/2010)


Hi Dr. Tirgan,
Thanks for the email. Seems like the treatment went well, the mole scabbed up and then fell off yesterday. Now there's still dry raised skin there, and what looks like a little bit of remaining mole underneath the skin.  (SL, 7/7/2010)


Excellent, 6/30/2010,

Alma M. says: Excellent care, wonderful doctor. Great results.


Very Professional, Friendly, 6/16/2010,

Jessica R. says: For a free first consultation, I was not expecting such great treatment from both the receptionist and Dr. Tirgan. It was a nice atmosphere, relaxing, and in a great location. I had heard great reviews, but his professionalism exceeded my expectations. Rest assure that I will be undergoing treatment at Dr. Tirgan's facility; no doubts about it.


Hello Michael,

The spot you treated fell off in just five days - so I couldn't have been a happier or more satisfied customer. Many, many thanks! Job well done!  Cheers!

(cc, may 27, 2010)


(Review placed on Yelp.com)

I originally went to see Dr. Tirgan over a month ago to consult with him about some skin legions that I was contemplating having removed.  I had no idea what to expect and was not completely sure if I would end up seeking treatment.  From the second that I stepped foot into Dr. Tirgan’s office, he did whatever he could to educate me and make me feel comfortable about the procedure.  Because of his pleasant manner, genuine concern, and knowledge about all facets of treatment, I chose to have several spots removed that same day.  I have already began to see great progress on those spots and have since then elected to have many more removed  - even though I had not originally intended to do so – because I was so pleased, both with the results and with Dr. Tirgan himself.   

I can honestly say that I have never met a more compassionate or accommodating physician (and I work in the healthcare field!).  He is extremely professional but also genuinely wants to help people to see good results.  After each procedure, Dr. Tirgan has sent me a personal email to check in and see how I am doing which I found to be so above and beyond what is normally expected of a treatment provider.  He has also worked with me to make sure the treatment is affordable and convenient.  I have been so pleased with my experience thus far and would highly recommend that anyone with skin concerns come see Dr. Tirgan - you will not be disappointed!

(RG May 26, 2010)


Hi Dr. Tirgan-

Sorry for the delayed response, I've been on vacation and today is my first day back.

The scabs fell off on Monday / Tuesday (about 2 weeks after the initial procedure).  The are still slightly red and while the moles are still there I see a significantly noticeable improvement on all but one.  I am definitely satisfied and plan on moving forward with additional treatments (again on my chest to further reduce the already treated moles) and have the procedure done on my back as well.  I will go on your website this week and will set up another session for the first available time, hopefully next week.

 Thanks again,

(MD, May 20, 2010)


Hi Dr. Tirgan,

So things seem to be progressing well.  All of the scabs fell off by the end of last week.  The small ones that were treated just left tiny pink dots behind.  I don't know if they'll fade on their own or if they'll need to be retreated.  The bigger ones look better than before but I'm sure they'll need to be treated again because there is definitely some darkness left behind.  But overall, things look good. I feel like there will be really good progress soon... 

 Thanks so much.  I'll see you next week,

RG (May 13, 2010)


5/10/2010  (Review on Yelp.com)

I don't normally write reviews, but felt compelled to write a review for Dr. Tirgan because he is so amazing.
Dr. Tirgan is the most professional and caring doctors that I have had the pleasure to meet, not only in New York City -- which is saying a lot -- but in my entire life. He literally goes out of his way to make you feel comfortable, to understand you, and to treat you. The first time I called his office he personally answered and was genuinely interested in my problem! How many doctors would you get such personal care from!? He is literally above and beyond expectations. His bedside manner is exceptional, and you feel totally cared for and completely comfortable with him. Its like going to see a family member for treatment--that is how attentive and present he is.

Not only is he caring and nurturing, and goes out of his way to help you in whatever way he can, but his credentials are impressive and  impeccable. He works all of the time, as far as I can tell, and continues to contribute his expertise to the Columbia University Medical School.

He will also try to save you money as well in his treatment and prescriptions if possible. Basically he is a doctor from Heaven, so take advantage while he is still practicing. You are lucky to have found such a caring and capable resource in Dr. Tirgan. I have his number in my cell phone, and I will continue seeing him as long as I live in NYC.


Great expertise, very friendly and affordable

12/23/2009

Rick B. says: I don't think I've ever met a friendlier and more accommodating doctor; If they were all like Dr. Tirgan, our healthcare system would be in better shape. I recently saw him for the first time to have a bunch of small skin tags removed, as well as a mole and a few broken capillaries (i.e. very tiny red dots). I couldn't be happier.


Pleasant Doctor and excellent experience.

12/21/2009

Isaac P. says: Had a small wart around the lip and Dr. Tirgan took care of it in less than 15 minutes but most importantly he was pleasant, understanding and supportive. It's always a pleasure dealing with a DR that really wants to help the patient find a solution. The treatment worked amazingly well!


Hello Dr

My daughter's scab fell off.  The results are wonderful. I hope it can improve from today. I can make it Tuesday, my mother is going to attend with my daughter I'm sorry but I am working that day. Hope its ok with you (Dec. 16, 2009 RV).


Thank you for the follow up. I really appreciate it. It looks really great. Just like you said, the spot became a scab and it eventually fell off. It’s still healing though. I do see a tiny spot we might’ve missed. I’ll be able to tell fully at the end of the week  when I finish healing. Should I have the follow up if this is the case? Best,  (IP Dec. 1, 2009).


Hello Dr. Tirgan,
I just wanted to send along my gratitude for your help and kindness this past weekend and for taking the time out of what I am sure is a very busy schedule. I have started on the antibiotic for the past two days and so far it seems to be working. What a relief! I will be in for my appointment at 5:45 on Tuesday evening.  Thank you again for your help, (LM  Nov. 23, 2009).


We made serious progress on the mole this time; it's definitely more of a "spot" now.  I suspect (hope?) another treatment will take care of what's left.  I'll be back in town on Dec. 2nd, so a Thursday, Dec. 3rd appointment would be ideal if you have room in your schedule. (ET Nov.23, 2009)


Hello,
They all came off.  There is a still slight bump on the left.  It's much less visible compared to before and I can live with it.  The left is completely gone.  I'm happy with the result and thank you for your follow up. (MO Nov.23, 2009).  


Hello,
It's going well. All of the scabs have fallen off, except for a bit on my forehead. That bump definitely feels smaller though, which is exciting!
The other ones are also lighter...the one on my neck is a bit sensitive though. I think it will be interesting to see how they all look after they heal because a lot of the former spots are now pink. We should probably still wait a bit before doing any more treatments! Thanks for everything.

I really feel like this time around the difference is very noticeable! Always exciting. So yes, I will contact you in several weeks. Have a wonderful Thanksgiving!

(AP Nov.23, 2009).


Hi Dr. Tirgan,

 I appreciate the email.  I have applied the cream and it seems to be helping so far.  The bump on the toe appears to be smaller as well, but has not fallen off or anything yet.  Thank you for the follow-up, (MO Nov.23, 2009).


"Dr. Michael Tirgan, MD is a caring and gifted Dermatologist with an excellent bedside manner! He has provided me with outstanding medical treatment. I can attest to his calm and deliberate demeanor and his expert understanding of the multiple skin issues for which I sought treatment. He goes well beyond cursory diagnosis to give you an overall thorough examination and then patiently explains your skin's condition (and game plan moving forward from diagnosis to treatment and beyond to maintenance.) In other words, he treats the whole patient in a comprehensive manner rather than concentrating only on a narrow spectrum of symptoms. His support staff is also professional and of the highest caliber. I highly recommend this talented, thoughtful and kind Physician!


Hello Doc,

The tags seem to be gone, though a couple of spots still have a raised, red sore spot.  I expect that will gradually go down and disappear?  If they don't, I will contact you.  The other spots are already fading well.   Kind regards, (AL Nov. 17, 2009)  

 


Hi Dr. Tirgan,

Thank you for your email.  I did get the medicine and have been using it.  My face is looking better, thanks.  The dark spots are starting to scab.  I would like to come back in though to have you zap a few more red spots.  Is next week too soon?

As for the blood tests, I have not gotten to that yet due to my busy work schedule.  What type of doctor should I see for that? Thanks,  (MN Nov. 13, 2009)
