Dr. Stephen Keith Tyring, MD

Unfortunately, this is ANOTHER 1-star review. I tried hard to like old Dr. Stephen Tyring, but from the poorly run offices (more than one) to the unprofessional office/behind the counter staff; in all sincerity, and his hands-off bedside manner... I CANNOT! This all started in his Pearland office before I recently learned he’d sold the practice to another physician--along with our medical records—and I know this to be the case because after finally tracking him down to the Webster/Houston locations for my 6-month follow up visit, the rude representative at the Houston location advised that it had been sold, only after being told that the staff at the former Pearland office had contacted me. When I first visited Dr. Tyring in June ’25 at the Pearland office, as others have already pointed out, he entered the room, was standoffish—talked from a few feet away, and didn’t even use the Wood’s lamp (as pointed out by Methodist’s clinic, who said at the very least, he should have. I had to go… to Methodist’s clinic one week after seeing him because what he prescribed--just wasn’t working!), just eyeballed it and then prescribe a well-known drug, which in my opinion was very extreme to be the ‘go to’ treatment, as opposed to FIRST TRYING creams, salves, or lotions—which I absolutely hated (still does). During my last visit at the Pearland office in December ’25, it started with them not opening on time, which was a chronic issue at that office... patients beating the staff and doctor to the office, and, I was told that they’d upgraded their system but I’d have to fill out another round of ridiculous paperwork because the old system couldn’t transfer any previous information (why not, and why should patients be inconvenienced???!!!), and, when they converted to the automated prescription service (not their own staff calling in prescriptions), it cost me additional funds because they couldn’t comprehend that CVS/BCBS requires a 90-day subscription which costs $0, as opposed to one for 30 days—which they then charge $5 for and while some may see it as minor, any additional unnecessary cost to patients is ridiculous! After finally tracking Dr. Tyring down about 2 weeks ago, the rude office rep attempted to trivialize my complaints that they’d moved WITHOUT informing patients who were looking for them, as well as about having been randomly contacted by someone from the Pearland office had been sold too, as well as having been told that ONCE AGAIN, NEW/MORE PAPERWORK HAD TO BE COMPLETED SINCE IT COULD NOT BE TRANSFERRED (WHY???), and I asked about what was going on with our previous data... who was in control of it. ? All of these things irritated the receptionist, who had no concept or concern for what I, as a patient was communicating and needed clarity about, but she was incapable of providing any salable, credible, or believable answers. In any event, I made the new appointment for 06/17/26/today, and when I arrived early (because I needed to fill out paperwork AGAIN, plus, there were torrential downpours). After finally completing it, she told me that I had a $192.00 co-pay, WHEN WITH MY INSURANCE (BCBS), THERE IS NO SUCH CO-PAY, UNLESS YOU’RE HAVING EXTRA SERVICES PERFORMED LIKE NEEDING SOMETHING SURGICALLY REMOVED OR XRAYS, ? WHICH NONE OF THIS APPLIED. When questioned about why the high co-pay when all of my co-pays for Dr. Tyring had only been $10 previous, and why no prior phone call to advise, all the rude receptionist could say was “This is what your insurance company said.” ? She was unable to explain, and didn’t try to break down the cost, which was preposterous, as I’d just seen a different type of SPECIALIST the day before, and about 2 weeks ago, where the co-pay was......$10!!!!! I also asked if Dr. Tyring was still in network (this is the only thing I could think of that may have elevated the cost). Thus, it should not have been any different seeing Dr. Tyring, a dermatologist/specialist. The conversation devolved from th

Dr. Tyring spent approximately 10mins "examining" me and was extremely dismissive regarding anything and everything I had to say. After briefly examining me he sent me on my way and threw some free samples at me. Well I paid my $83 copay and I am sure he charged my insurance but that's all he was interested in... I went to another dermatologist who spent some actual time examining me and ended up doing a biopsy on two moles which, I am now going to have to surgically removed after coming back abnormal. Trying needs to retire he's not invested in his patients!

Went to him with a referral of my family doctor. Here are the facts: He spent approximately 45 seconds to diagnose my issue. He did not touch my skin, actually he did not even come close to me. Think about that you are taking your car to a repair shop and the repairman does not even touch your car. Of course my issue still existing, nothing has changed after this great treatment!!!

If you have a big problem, who knows, maybe your experience will be different than mine, We can only hope! Because I had high hopes for my relatively simple annual skin screening exam for cancer. He looked over me so fast and so NOT thoroughly that I do not have any more confidence that I don;t have skin CA than I did before my office visit. Boo!

He fixed my problem that other dr couldn't.

I really enjoyed him as my doctor, he briefly discussed my issue, answered all my questions and gave me the correct treatment. The facilities are organized and clean. They also offer same day appointments for each location.

I went there to have some moles checked. I liked Dr. Tyring, but did not receive biopsy results on the promised date. Repeated phone calls to his office piped directly to message, and were ignored. The receptionist staff would not help me connect with the personnel that could provide the results other than through the messages which were not returned. Very unhappy.

Doctor and staff very professional and didn't have to wait too long like some other offices. He gave me plenty of samples and sent my prescription to the pharmacy. He was understandable and didn't speak over my head. He even spoke ok spanish for a white guy. I felt like he knew what he was talking about and now my painful bumps are gone. Thanks.

He diagnosed my son with scabies when 2 other dermatologists could not find the critters! He gave specific instructions on how to treat (including my family members). His nice assistant went over the procedures again. Unlike other doctors he doesn't speed through the visit. I got an appointment the same day I called and he was very knowledgeable. He is our family's top doctor.

This doctor is a quack! His subordinates, especially the Indian female doctor is pretty full of herself. She needs to go back to polite school!I would not recommend these doctors to anyone. Definitely in it for the money and on top of it are not even friend;y. How am I supposed to understand the esoteric diagnoses they tell me without explanation!
