I have a tick bite that hasn't completely healed in over two months. It doesn't itch or bother me, though I worry about it. All of the dermatologists I contacted in my area - Oakland - either weren't accepting new patients or were difficult / impossible to reach, so I decided to see Dr. Chiang, even though his Fremont office is 35-40 minutes away. Dr. Chiang's staff is efficient & also asked if I had any other questions besides my tick bite - & I did have minor issues that I wouldn't otherwise have seen a doctor for. Dr. Chiang was nice, warm, friendly & smart doctor. He prescribed some ointment to help my tick bite heal & prescribed antibiotics to address possible Lyme disease. Doctor helped me with my minor problems: 1) dry skin on the back of my neck - turned out to be eczema, to which I apply the same ointment I'm using on my tick bite; 2) plantar warts on both feet, which Doctor "killed" by freezing; and 3) a cholesterol spit under my left eye, which doctor said is fine & I can "treat" by addressing my overall cholesterol levels. Dr. Chiang practices out of their Pleasanton office on Saturdays, so I'll go there for my follow up. It's much closer, about 20 minutes away! read more

Extremely caring person!! Great care, great service. The best at what he does. Thank you doctor Chiang read more

Good doctor for my family. He answered all questions and messages during a family members visit. He included educational material that was very helpful, thorough, and easy to understand! read more

7-29-26 Dr. Chiang and his team are amazing. I love going there as their office is very modern and comfortable. Now about Dr. Chiang...he is an amazing dermatologist! He is caring and professional. His knowledge around the field of dermatology is excellent. I used to go to a major dermatologist in Fremont however became frustrated with lack of service and professionalism. I am an experienced patient and have had many treatments. I highly recommend Dr. Chiang at Berman Skin Institute. read more

I highly recommend Dr. Chiang. 1. Appointments are very easy to schedule, and when you arrive on time you are seen within your appointment window. Dr. Chiang manages time very well, which is not easy in the Bay Area since dermatologists are in high demand and usually very busy. 2. His diagnosis was fast, accurate, and professional. I gave a simple description of my symptoms and concerns, and he immediately examined my skin carefully. Then the nurse gave me a five-page case report he had prepared. I was amazed because most doctors do not take the time to make sure you fully understand your condition. Dr. Chiang really went the extra mile to give me the right information about pityriasis rosea, which shows his experience and dedication. 3. The treatment plan was excellent. The medication he prescribed worked quickly, and my recovery time matched exactly what he predicted. This kind of accuracy only comes from years of experience and seeing many similar cases, which made me feel very confident in his care. 4. The pricing was reasonable. Since my condition was not cosmetic, insurance covered it. I only paid for the initial consultation. At my follow-up, he even checked a mole on my hand at no extra charge, which I really appreciated. Overall, Dr. Chiang's skill, professionalism, and caring attitude make him one of the best doctors I have ever seen. I am very grateful to have found him and I think anyone looking for a dermatologist should definitely go see him. read more

Charles Chiang, MD - Dermatologists Near Me - Fremont, California

Great dermatologist and experience. Fixed up my skin. Answered all my questions. Recommend Dr Chiang!

Dr. Chiang was extremely kind, very helpful, and he addressed all of my concerns from skin tags to eczema. For each concern, he laid out all of the options and made it easy for me to understand. Scheduling an appointment with him as a new patient was painless and there was minimal wait time at the office. I would highly recommend! read more

Today was my first day going to a dermatologist regarding my acne and frankly I was already self aware of my skin condition, I just didn't know what the right products were and how to deal with it. This guy is brutally honest and I admire it, his explanations are thorough and helpful. The staff at the front desk are kind as well! read more

He is great and patient. He can usually squeeze me in if I need to see him urgently. Best dermatologist in town

I had a great experience with Dr Chiang! He listens to the issues you're having and spends time to figure out results to help you! Highly recommend! read more

First visit to this clinic/doctor for husbands skin and tags issue, he explained everything well and took care of the the issues right away. Happy with the service and definitely coming back :) read more

Dr. Chiang is knowledgeable, patient and kind who answers all my questions with detailed instructions. Highly recommend!

Ease of appointment. Not much wait and very appealing environment. Dr. Chiang was very attentive to all concerns and addressed every single one. Provided a lot of literature and patient education. Highly recommend! read more

Today I have seen the doctor in his clinic. I was paying out of pocket and whole experience was pleasant. Doctor and office staff were very polite and welcoming. I was asking a lot of questions and the answers were very professional. I have been prescribed antibiotics to heal an infected scratch. If you have no insurance it's a good place to go. The other provider quoted me for consultation x4 from what I paid here. This is also an important factor when you pay out of pocket. Thank you Dr. Chiang read more

Dr Chiang is very professional and patient. He is very sharp and knows what exactly I need. Best dermatologist!

Dr. Chiang is an amazing doctor that listens to you and provides you the help you need. I've gone to plenty of dermatologists over the years incessantly begging them to help me with my stubborn acne and many of them just prescribed me short term medications that would only help for a week before having flare ups again. Dr. Chiang listened to all my previous interactions with different medications provided to me throughout the years, adjusted my treatment based on experiences, and actually provided me with a long term solution I was looking for. I also came to him with a bump on my finger and he made the time to address the issue same day! It is clear that he makes every patient a priority. Dr. Chiang is a patient, amiable doctor that actually listens to your concerns, and is incredibly personable when you talk to him! His nurse Sachi was also great and incredibly attentive as well :) read more

I can only speak of my own experience, but I was VERY pleased with Dr. Chiang and his entire staff, which although shockingly young (at least compared to me! LOL), were all mature and exuded a professionalism well beyond their years. Dr. Chiang was very nice and knowledgable and I felt very well cared-for... no "attitude" like my old dermatologist. He does speak rather quickly, so if you're hearing impaired, you might consider another doctor. But as far as professionalism and expertise go, I have nothing but good things to say about Dr. Chiang and his staff. read more

Nice facility in Fremont. Reception was transparent on costs upfront. Dr Chiang was courteous and attentive. He quickly diagnosed and provided the long & short term remediations. read more

Amazing doc, did a neck surgery and was fantastic as well as his staff with all the short term disability paperwork they had to do.

I've seen COUNTLESS dermatologists over the years, but Dr. Chiang is the only one who prescribed a treatment that finally worked after I'd been battling adult acne for 15+ years. He's incredibly thorough, takes the time to really listen, and makes sure the treatment plan fits your needs. When I lost my health insurance, he even went out of his way to help me navigate costs and ensure I could still access care without breaking the bank. I can't recommend him enough - he's knowledgeable, compassionate, and truly invested in his patients' well-being. read more

I had 3 moles that I wanted checked. Two ended up being age spots and I didn't have to do anything with them. One was a mole I have had for a very long time. According to Dr Chiang it was slightly suspicious and recommended I remove it with a shave biopsy. It went well. It's been a week and it is starting to heal. He first said there was a 1-3% chance of it being concerning; however, after removing it he lowered the concern to .01%. I have received the results and it is benign. I would definitely recommend this office for any of your skin issues. read more

He is friendly knowledgeable and conscientious. Yes, he actually listen to you and answer your questions.

We had an excellent experience with Dr. Chiang. He is highly knowledgeable, answered all our questions with patience. He performed the minor procedure with great skill. The outcome is outstanding. read more

Dr. Chiang is super kind and honest and is there to help you achieve what you need help on. I came in for really bad perioral dermatitis and he recommended skin care and regimen that helped. I was also given advise on types of lotion and facial cleansers to use until perioral dermatitis went away. My skin is much more clearer and smooth now. read more

Great knowledgeable doctor. Friendly and helpful. Listens to you and really understands your concerns. Highly recommended.

Just want to leave another 5 stars review for Dr. Chiang, who is extremely approachable, communicative, and empathetic. Outside of his fantastic medical expertise already which I don't need to mention, here are 3 other attributes that work with my busy life style. 1. Dr. Chiang personally response to all the emails and reply within a matter or hours! Being able to receive an overnight email respond from Dr. Chiang when I wake up is an extreme well being feeling for me, knowing all my urgent questions are answered and/or Rx requests sent without the need to make a phone call or another visit. 2. Weekly Saturday office hours! For people that just can't get away during weekdays, this is a big plus. How many Drs. giving up their Saturday hours and helping out the patients? Not too many, if any at all in the Bay area. 3. Lastly, both the entire staff members in the Fremont and Pleasanton offices are fantastic. They are caring, friendly, and just make the whole Dr visiting experience enjoyable and fun. Although I have to drive down 1.5 hours round trip to Pleasanton to see Dr. Chiang, I know it will be a trip well worth it. Daniel read more

I got my acne and wart treatment from Doc Charles . He is amazing I hv been to many dermatologists in my life but he was the best and doing angelic work. So humble so polite and give you the right advice and perfect treatments . Very knowledgeable May God bless him for being so good to his patients. read more

Highly recommend Dr. Chiang at Berman Skin Institute. Kaiser was giving me the runaround on a mole that was 12mm x 10mm for over a year, saying it could be removed with liquid nitrogen, then to just wait, then that it could not be removed with liquid nitrogen, then saying removal would not be covered because it's cosmetic. In a virtual appointment, 2 in person appointments, and emails to Kaiser Dermatology nobody had concerns for cancer. I went to Berman for the consultation and fully expected to have to wait but the medical assistant let me know that Dr. Chiang would remove it that day if I wanted!! They injected Lidocaine for numbing and cut the mole through, though it wouldn't stop bleeding with pressure so they cauterized it. I appreciated Dr. Chiang's discussion with me and planning to minimize scarring. He did express concern with it being irregularly shaped so he sent it to the lab to be biopsied. This was an added cost that I agreed to but I'm glad and relieved to have had someone show concern, thankfully the results were good. All in all it was a cost for consultation, the procedure, and the labs. read more

Dr. Chiang was incredibly kind and patient with me during my visit. He was willing to answer all of the questions that I had prepared beforehand. Furthermore, one thing that really stood out to me was his honesty; he did not try to up-sell me on any treatment and was honest about how effective certain (expensive) medications and procedures would be for my skin condition. I would highly recommend visiting Dr. Chiang for any dermatology concerns. read more

Erica the receptionist is so sweet and nice. Check-in was a breeze. Minimal wait time, I was almost called in immediately after I was handed out the patient forms. Dr Chiang was amazing. He's very knowledgeable and informative. Showed me all the treatments available, explained what's most suitable for my condition. He even printed out a copy for me to take home. Dr Chiang and his team are very friendly and approachable. Don't let the appointment making process discourage you from coming in to see him. He has no control over their scheduling department. And he actually reached out to me on Yelp to schedule the appointment for me!!! It's worth a shot to reach out to him personally. He might be able to help. It's hard to make an appointment over the phone at the moment because they're renewing their entire phone system. Good new is it's scheduled to be fix by September. read more

Charles Chiang, MD - Dermatologists Near Me - Fremont, California

See all

I went to Dr. Chiang for acne. He is very knowledgeable and won't push you for any unnecessary procedure. Office experience was good. The staff at front desk is helpful. read more

I'm 79 years old and had a skin issue that bothered me over a year. It's a too small case for regular surgeon and too deep a case for normal dermatologist. I visited my Stanford Med. doctors 5 times with no treatment till yesterday. I went to see Dr. Charles Chiang. Reservation is easy for next day right away. Clinic is roomy and clean. Staff are friendly, happy and professional. Dr. Chiang was very responsive and answered any questions I asked. He did treatments right away and made a biopsy to be inspected by UC San Francisco Medical center, one of the best pathologist Lab. My wife was with me. She's happy that I finally found someone can treat me. Dr. Charles noticed and said "Happy wife is happy life.". Wow. He's so human. He also predict the possible result of my treatment and will follow up in 4 month. Lay out 2 treatment options next time. I wish to give him 6 star rating if possible. read more

I had 3 spots that's got removed and another that was froze off, not painful nor scary experience. The doctor and his assistant were very welcoming and pleasant. It was such a a easy experience my husband will be in as a new patient this week! read more

Dr. Chiang is so sweet! I came in with a weird growth on my forehead, and he was kind and gentle in letting me know it was a wart, and gave us all options on treating it with minimal scarring Super nice guy that makes you feel at ease, right away. read more

I first met Dr. Chiang when I was 18 to discuss my acne struggles after years and years working with other doctors and having nothing work for me. He recommend Accutane. My mother was with me at the appointment and was concerned about this drug. Dr. Chiang was very very thorough in his explanation of the drug, its side effects and spent time to answer all of our questions. Ultimately I started taking Accutane for about a year, seeing Dr. Chiang every month during that time. I never felt rushed in my appointments with him. He always took the time to answer all my questions. My skin cleared up for the first time in my entire life. Accutane is a scary drug with many side effects but I trusted Dr. Chiang and I'm glad I did. I ended up visiting him again after my acne treatments ended to discuss hair loss I was experiencing. I asked him if I could pick his brain about my current skin care routine and he sat with me for what felt like 45 minutes printing information, sharing skin care product suggestions and answering all questions I had wanted to ask a professional about all my skin care products. I definitely recommend Dr. Chiang! read more

Dr Chiang and his staff are really kind and professional. He took time to listen to my concerns today and had very knowledgeable opinions on my symptoms. Definitely a strong recommendation for him and team! read more

My wife Paulina had a severe allergic reaction and we were able to quickly find Dr. Charles Chiang on short notice and we scheduled an appt with him immediately. She was seen about 12hrs after being admitted to the ER and was able to consult with Doc, expressing and explaining what's going on with her. Although it was just a consultation, our experience with Dr. Charles was nothing short of great -- transparently speaking. He was also able to give us a follow up call later in the evening (she initially contacted him first to ask more Q's about her condition) and was able to help us understand things a whole lot better and was very honest with us about a couple more things that we needed to hear. Bottom line: if you want one of the best dermatologists in the Bay Area, you're going to have to pay the money for it because frankly it's never going to be cheap to see any docs around for that matter. We've even read up a lot of good and bad reviews about him here on yelp but personally for me, he's great. Thanks again for your help Doc! You're appreciated. read more

My favorite dermatologist. Have been seeing him for a couple of years now every few months. He is so sweet , professional, and has a calm gentle manner. Very approachable. I remember I had a written list of 10-12 questions I rattled off when my husband first went to see him. He patiently answered each one of my questions without judgment; it was then that I decided I wanted to see him as well. He also made sure that as a woman, I was comfortable with him as my doctor by asking if I would prefer a female nurse there for any visits/ procedures as well. I appreciate that. I always have questions for him and he always answers with knowledgeable advice. (Including real life products/ things I could be doing for better skin outcomes). Also, he gives me realistic expectations and doesn't sugar coat things, but still says things very gently and kindly. So happy we found him. read more

Very attentive and listens to all concerns without brushing it off. Dr. Chiang offers a range of solutions and covers all the side effects thoroughly so you are empowered to make the e best decision for your body. Highly recommend. read more

I called today to try to make an appointment, as my usual doctor's office as well as my child's pediatric clinic are all at the same Optum (used to be Magan) clinic. The operator told me that Dr. Chiang is no longer taking in new patients. Not sure if this is true or not but if that is the case, his name should not be listed as "accepting new patients" under my insurance's referral site (UHC)... read more
