We've been taking our son to Walnut Creek Dermatology for about a year now, and I gotta tell you,…read morewe could not be happier. The office is very nice, staff is friendly, and Dr. Radelll had been wonderful to work with. She diagnosed his issues, created a long term course of action, and made sure our son understood his face care responsibilities. We've checked in with her a few times. Every visit was great. But Dave, you have Kaiser, why would you pay out of pocket? We tried Kaiser. It took several weeks just to be able to message a dermatologist. Then more messages with pictures and still no course of action. I wanted someone to actually look at his face. Plus, it's not super expensive. So we took matters into our own hands and never looked back. Give Dr. Radell a try!!

She also identified several skin concerns I had not even noticed and had plans for those too. Over a very short time I experienced great improvement in each problem. Extremely professional and competent front desk staff, with a great doctor (whose skin is like a walking advertisement for her services, btw!) They don't take most insurance but in this case you definitely get what you pay for. I will remain a loyal client, and if I ever take the plunge into Botox (shut up, I'm scared), Dr. Brown is the one I will trust with my face. A very solid five stars!

If you are looking for a new Dermatologist, she is highly recommended & she's board certified too!

I saw Quynhly for a persistent case of facial dermatitis. I had been dealing with a rashy, bumpy face for three months, and after seeing her, she prescribed a medication that started clearing my skin within just two days. I can't thank her enough for her expertise and her wonderful bedside manner. Thank you again, Quynhly, I truly appreciate everything you've done!

I have been coming to this establishment for a bit. I think maybe i'm on my 2nd package with each…read morepackage contains 4 or 5 treatments. Danville is a tad far from my home, which is SF. But since I liked what I saw and heard from Dr. Ellis' YT channel, I thought it was worth the drive to come here. I saw Dr. Ellis for the initial consult but since they've made her a partner at the practice, all my treatments were performed by a nurse. And I love my nurse, her name is Emily, she seems competent and friendly and funny. What's not cool about this place is: 1) The pricing 2) The front desk The pricing is much higher than other cosmetic practices in the Bay Area, incl in SF where I used to and still get some treatments done. To compensate for this, you'll need to buy a package, just to make the pricing comparable to other places where you could buy as a single treatment. The front desk seems to be employing a gestapo approach to customer service. So I made a mistake in my calendar with the start time, so I ended up arriving 1 hour earlier than the 2:30p appointment time that they texted me. I arrived and I told them I had a 1:30p appointment, but was informed that my appointment was actually 3:30p, with a 2:30p start time just going into a room waiting while getting my face numbed. I told them it seems that I've made a mistake but I do have a full day ahead of me and I live all the way in SF so I wanted to see if they could please let my nurse know that I'm there early. I was asking them for an accommodation for a mistake that I clearly owned. They wouldn't talk to Nurse Emily. They told me Emily is all booked with not a 5 min to spare. I told them that's fine, if they could please maybe leave her a little note letting her know of my situation. Loren at Front Desk initally told me yes they would tell Emily when she's out with a patient to the cashier at front desk, but within minutes, she had told her manager in the office and her manager came out to tell me there's nothing they could do. They wouldn't let Emily know! They also told me they absolutely have no spare room to put me in. But when I was finally admitted to my treatment room, I saw a ROW of empty rooms. Bravo!

I am also busy and have a 3 month wait for non urgent patients. But when you have established patients with urgent concerns you accommodate them in an urgent fashion. 3 weeks is not urgent. A 13 year old with a new onset raised itchy facial rash is not something that can wait 3 weeks. I told them this is not up to my expectations of care and is poor patient care and they said "we are sorry to hear that but we do understand if you will need to see another dermatologist. We have a lot of urgent concerns that has been requesting to schedule but we cannot accommodate everyone." Wow. As a physician I am appalled. I would never let my staff say this to a patient!

Urgent care docs said I needed to see a dermatologist to evaluate whether i needed long-term antibiotics to deal with bacterial colonization (?!), and I was excited to see someone who could help me with the scarring and hyperpigmentation caused by the infection, which has been so embarrassing. I was really looking forward to getting help! But I've honestly never been to a less interested doctor than Dr. Fisk; she seemingly could not care less. i mentioned the recurrent infections and she said "well, good thing it's cleared up." and nothing more; she made me feel like it was silly to keep talking about it. And then I asked about the scarring and hyperpigmentation and she said, "Hmm, I'm not sure there's anything that can be done about that." And then she just stared at me blankly and said, "Is there anything else we can do for you?" FYI, I'm now seeing a different doctor and there's so much that can be done to help! I don't know why she would say that! And then to add insult to injury, it then turned out that they were wrong about being in network and so i had to pay $170 for this horrible 5-minute visit. I know doctors have off days but, just, why do this job if you don't care about people & their problems?!

True my visit was just a few minutes but in those few minutes I believe I received the information and treatment I needed for two warts on my feet. I avoided getting any kind of spa treatments on my feet because of a wart on top of one of my toes and another near my hell on the opposite foot. I was told they are contagious and should not be touched. I could put a band aid on them and still get a pedicure. Also I was informed that warts are historically difficult to treat and could require multiple treatments- up to nine! I had gone to a local podiatrist whose treatment was a very mild freeze with a canister that was very small. At Berman they had a canister that was roughly 5 times as large and delivered quite a punch to the warts. I was told it might sting a little and sting it did! I'm hoping I won't have to go 8 more times but I think I went to the right place. I know my feet will be beach ready before summer.
