    I loved my provider. She's definitely the kind of doctor I like. Not trying to rush you out the door. I have to have surgery and she took the time to explain everything to me. I would highly recommend her to anyone. I only have 2 doctors that I trust and now she is number 3. Wonderful doctor/person.

    Really thorough, by ordering additional photos that helped her to determine there was a new problem. She explained it quickly, so I was not able to grasp the whole problem.

    Dr. Tarib was pleasant. Her technician on the day of my visit, [staff] was by far, very professional, personable and frankly, was the only reason I thought my visit to Wilmer was worth it. Prior to the visit, the people from the call centers who set up the appointment and was able to change the time for me were absolutely wonderful on the phone.
