You are required to sign "forms" that you're not allowed to see, if you're lucky you'll be seen roughly 15-30 minutes after your scheduled time and signing the secret forms will take longer than your actual visit. But while you wait you can listen to GSD's collection calls. Hey Ann - you owe GSD $30 and they need that NOW. I listened to the collection calls for at least 6 people. You'll learn more about their cancellation & no show policy than you will your actual care. *Shout out to the medical assistant that was incredibly kind & professional, and seemed to care more in general than the actual doctor who googled a photo to show me, then told me if my concern bothered me, I could follow up. I thought I WAS there to address the concern but clearly he was much too busy for that. My husband had a great experience at the Pleasant Hill location but this was all around an awful time.

After the rave reviews on here, I took my daughter to get a facial with Denyse. Unfortunately, we…read moredidn't have the experience that the others had. We found her to be very nice but overpriced, over talkative, and not professional. Our appointment was at 1:30pm and she arrived at 1:35 with her lunch in hand. We had to wait outside until she unlocked the door. Her desk was a mess and she had trouble finding the intake form. We had to wait longer while she set up. It might just be my standards, but I think it shows professionalism and seriousness when the workspace is clean, clear and ready for business when your client arrives, especially to make a good first impression. Then, during the facial, while the mask was setting, she made a personal phone call where we could overhear her discussion. The extractions were quite painful and my daughter winced and moved her feet quite a bit to get through it. The appointment itself was close to 2 hours long. Once again, Denyse was friendly and I like her integrative approach but overall we do not recommend nor will be returning.

Dynese's work is simply magic. As a young girl growing into my adulthood, I've struggled with…read morehormonal acne off and on for years. Before finding Dynese, I had lost all hope and confidence because of my stubborn acne. Not only do I see results immediately after going in for a facial, but Dynese's products that I use at home have consistently proven to be effective. If you struggle with acne, you know how vulnerable it can feel. What sets Dynese apart from others is this: she never pushes you to spend unnecessary money on products or treatments. She also kindly offers advice on other potential factors (diet, hygiene, stress levels, etc.) that could be effecting your skin to get to the root cause of your unique acne, instead of only offering temporary solutions. She is extremely personable, GENUINE, kind, and incredibly dedicated to her practice and clients. In my experience-- nothing, and I mean not a single product on the market, can out perform Dynese's. She's truly the best and I could not recommend her more. :)

The weird thing is that I made an appt 3 months ago and no one told me they were going to close. They were trying to schedule me with someone else in Alameda but I will not go with anyone else but Lisa. Very disappointed with how this closure was handled. I am going to update this review as Dr Rex Barrett reached out to me as he told his staff to reach out to let us know the location was closing unfortunately I never received a call from the staff which is disappointing and the blame of the staff for not doing their job. The fact that Dr Barrett reached out with explanation shows a lot of dignity and respect so I'm updating this review as I was so happy while this location in Brentwood was open. I found Lisa on IG so I'm going to schedule appt with her at her new location. Thank you

I am looking forward to see Dr. Cabral again.

I saw Dr. Jay Zimmerman in September 2020 to check for lesions. They called it a "full body scan"…read morebut it was nothing of the sort. It was the fastest dermatology exam in my life -- 90 seconds TOPS! During this frenetic exam I tried to ask him about a few things that were bothering me but he quickly dismissed my questions. I am not a time-waster and I intended to pay cash for anything my insurance didn't cover. So what's the problem?? While I was trying to locate something hidden on my scalp for him to examine he was irritated because my fingers were in his way. (Sigh.) He then told me it would fall off by itself. But that was over 1.5 years ago and it has NOT fallen off. After my visit his office emailed a request for feedback. I responded with my dissatisfaction and I never heard anything further. Their "patient-centered care" is 100% pure baloney. Jay Zimmerman could not have cared less or moved faster if his Crocs were on fire. Good riddance.

Was in there for about 15min to get told that a non surgical procedure doesnt last long and the price for it was out of my budget!

If u want info over the phone for quick questions you get nothing! Or it just serms like they are bothered by you even asking! Basically i could've looked it up for free i guess! But there was no highlighted info on the $100 fee while making this consult visit! When making my appointment they of course dont tell you! I just needed to vent on it! My bad for not doing more research! Ridiculous fee for a short visit Outrageous!

My issue is I am scared to continue being treated here as I went in and got a biopsy that turned into an infection that I got antibiotics for but they were not transparent about the infection in my chart and tried to play it off like we will just give you meds just to be safe but it was clearly infected and painful and pus filled. On top of that the same person that did the biopsy job was trying to stitch me up again and I was petrified of going through that nonsense again. The other part is administratively it took forever for them to receive my referral.

I let him tell me about his experiences but it later just felt like I was interviewing him. He was telling me things I didn't even ask about like his rude customers to my surprise even using curse words to describe them and his schooling. i was still optimistic as he gave me a time to come into the office the next morning. I show up load A cart with a heavy box of charts he asked me to grab from his trunk and load in. I am wondering where are his staff there isn't even a front desk person..He scans my drivers license and application he asked me to fill out and grabs a composition book and places it on my side of the counter. As a shadow im thinking he Wanted me to use that book although I've prepared my own pocket book that I show him. He immediately gives me this evil glare telling me he never asked me to touch that book and is holding a post it pad saying he had it just in case I "screwed up". How unprofessional to assume. He then glares at the book then at me again at the book and stares into my soul for a quiet 5 seconds at this point i am super uncomfortable and it's also just the two of us, he then tells me he built this ground for 20 years (no idea what that has to do with the book) and tells me he did not tell me to grab the book. I'm already nervous as it is. He said he did not want his time wasted and I immediately apologize explaining this is my first time shadowing. He tells me to get out. Get out.i ask him if he's serious and he says yes And leads me out. I am shocked and confused. He called me twice, FaceTime emailed me, texted me just to kick me out within the first 10 minutes of us meeting in person. Because of a book I was not supposed to touch. Wasted my time. awful first experience. do not come here. there are better dermatologists with welcoming attitudes elsewhere. 000000 stars if I could. disappointed.

There was never an ailment or medical condition he did not diagnose 1st or correctly for me, (and I have had many severe upper respiratory issues; asthma; cardio vascular disease, diabetes, odd allergies no one could diagnose or treat; and Dr Enrique even prescribed preventive actions to prevent severe symptoms during peak allergy periods and during cold & flu seasons !

Dr. Enrique took great care of my family of 5 for 2 generations. Enjoy your retirement, Dr. You have earned it. Thank you for the years of great medical care and attention!
