What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

Good mix of common and rare derm problems, adult and ped. They review the recent articles efficiently, in an entertaining and conversational way that makes it more memorable, and then getting practical and real. Also useful is how they explain meds or conditions to their patients so I can use that same language.

Mlk utah · Jan 2026

This podcast has changed how I practice medicine. Dr. Tarbbox and Dr. Johnson keep me informed on all the latest evidence based medicine. The information in a entertaining style. I can’t say enough good things about this podcast! Except… I wish they had more episodes😀

Melissa040117 · Aug 2025

Enjoyed my time listening to this podcast. Really good selection of articles where even minute details such as the methodology are discussed in context of the overall picture. Would recommend to all derm residents as well as more senior physicians to stay up to date on new articles in a fun and easy to digest manner. All the best

MNMQatar · Apr 2023

This podcast is the best thing happening in dermatology right now. This is a great standup pairing of Dr Michelle Tarbox and Dr Luke Johnson. Their personalities and medical interests are different enough to balance each other very well. They both have a great sense of humor and appreciation for the nerdiness required to be a great dermatologist. I think Michelle just dropped a Stefan from SNL reference in describing how Aplasia Cutis Congenita os hot and “has everything.” I only wish it was more than once per fortnight.
