I have been going to Dr, Kasch for 25 years! I moved to Pleasant Hill and I still go to him. When I have a bump on my face, I take a picture of it and send to to his office. He tells me whether I need to come in right away, or not. I have been a UC Davis patient, but because of their wait times, I find I can get in to see Dr. Kasch, get the biopsy results, get to the surgeon, have the Mohs surgery, all completed before even getting an appointment with a dermatologist through John Muir. Dr Kasch does not take insurance, but his fees are reasonable, and the other costs (lab biopsy, surgery, medications) are all covered by medicare. read more

I was looking for a derm that I could comfortably rely on because isn't that what everyone wants. And this is why reviews are valued and mean something especially when people do take the time to review. That's why I'm writing because Dr. John A. Kasch is awesome! I promptly arrived and was seen very quickly once I was placed in a room and signing papers. Dr. Kasch is an extremely goofy older gentleman who made the whole experience fun and comforting! He explained things well and is a funny guy! I came to get a black head removed, soon to be explained a cyst instead, and Dr. Kasch talked through the whole procedure, providing a smooth and excellent experience. Sadly, I do not insurance, but that's never a deterrent when I find a great medical specialist. Dr. Kasch and receptionist Laurie (I hope I have that name correctly) have my appreciation for an excellent first time visit. read more

There were 2 other reviews on this site showing facial mole removals that were PERFECT, with no scarring, and that is what drew me to this office. Additionally, someone on a social media site mentioned his name as being very good. Since then, I have had multiple moles on my face removed by Dr. Kasch. He is extremely knowledgeable on how long it will take to heal and when bandages need to be changed to facilitate optimal healing and no to little scarring. I have never had a scar from a mole removal by him. He is very funny and a great listener. Alicia/Reception is friendly and helpful. I highly recommend this office. read more

I had a mole on my nose removed by Dr. Kasch and am so happy with the results. Until I found Dr. Kasch, I had lost hope in having my mole removed since all the other doctors I've seen told me the removal of this mole would cause a major deformity on my nose. Dr Kasch was able to remove my mole without deformity, and with no scarring at all. I am more than pleased with the results. Dr Kasch is very kind, caring, gentle, and very professional. He listens and acknowledges your concerns. I would highly recommend him to anyone without hesitation. read more

He has been my dermatologist for over 30 years. in that time he has caught two "pre-melanomas." One on my back that was tiny and I never would have seen, and the other behind my knee that was also tiny. The biopsy results are always back the next day. Then I get a call to come in the day after. I dread the day he retires. read more

Our family's been going to Dr cash for over 20 years now and he's been nothing but courteous and professional

The receptionist Alicia (I hope I spelled it correctly) is amazing!! She was so kind and sweet. They had a busy day and she remembered to call me back and schedule me. I love when I receive kindness and good customer service! read more

I visited Dr. Kasch a year ago for a couple of small growths on my face and found his explanations, knowledge, and treatment to be exceptional. read more

I cannot express how professional and kind Dr. Kasch is. I was nervous before the appointment due to social anxiety. The moment he walked into the room and started talking, it quickly melted away. He talked the entire process: educating about the procedure, making sure you are okay/comfortable, and talking about casual life topics. Dr. Kasch feels like a caring grandfather. I booked a 6 AM appointment, so both of us can have the rest of the day to ourselves. He offered to walk me out of the building because the street was dark. I noticed he waited until I made it to my car down the street. That greatly made my day. I already recommended him to a friend. read more

Today I had my first appointment with Dr. Kasch. He is hands-down the nicest and most sincere and knowledgeable MD I've met. I've also been to many dermatologists in the past. I felt like he truly cared. Which is rare, I guess. It is out of pocket pay as they don't take insurance however for me, it was worth it, and I will be back. read more

I thought I would add two pictures for a 4 year follow up. Very minimal scar, and what is present blends perfectly into my smile line. read more

Dr. Kasch and his staff are the best! Dr. K is knowledgeable and incredibly caring. And, even though he's been practicing a long time, he seems excited about what he does, which is refreshing. On my last visit, he removed a cyst and actually took the time to show me afterwards what he did, what tool he used, etc. He sent me equipped with everything I needed to properly care for it, and then his staff called to follow up twice afterward! (And this was just for a minor cyst removal.) The whole staff truly cares. Alicia, who manages the front desk, is great at getting you in if something is urgent. Once, when a cancellation wasn't available, Dr. Kasch made time outside of regular hours to see me. Many practices are scheduled weeks or months out, which isn't helpful if you have something acute going on. I just can't say enough about the care I've received here. If only all medical practices were like this! read more

This doctor has magic hands, he is a very pleasant and polite person who knows his job 100%. I just had 9 moles removed, everything went quickly, and no pain at all. I am glad I was able to find this particular doctor. I recommend him. The office is also very friendly. Also the price is very reasonable. Thank you so much! read more

I've been going to Dr. Kasch for a few years now. Recently went to get my skin checked as I was dealing with breakouts. He is the friendliest most professional Dr that I have ever met. As soon as he enters the room to see you he puts you at ease. The office is kept clean and the staff is friendly, helpful and professional. They communicate frequently to check up on you. I have received the best care and my questions are always answered. Dr Kasch is very knowledgeable with years of experience. read more

I went in for my first consultation/appointment on March 24th, 2020 for a few mole removals and it was great. Doctor and his staff were accommodating and treated us well, the whole office was clean without a single speck of hair, and the process was thoroughly explained and didn't take long at all. I came out with 6 flat moles and 1 slightly raised mole lasered off with a 2 oz. bottle of 100% aloe vera gel to keep the scarring minimum, paid up front. We planned to come back for a biopsy for my other two raised moles that couldn't be lasered off but due to the current pandemic, I had to cancel. I planned to reschedule my appointment because I want them gone before August but I've realized that my scars are darkening to the point where they just look as pigmented as they were before the mole removal and the slightly raised one is reappearing (was warned beforehand). I stayed out of the sun, kept my face clean, and applied the aloe after every wash but there hasn't been any improvement. I really loved visiting this office and was excited because of all the great reviews so I was willing to go for it, even with the steep cost, but I think I'll be saving up and getting my moles removed elsewhere. read more

Absolute professional and perfectionist. An artist in his field. Exactly what I was looking for. His office staff is kind, considerate, and caring. What a great group of people. Excellent reviews are what brought me here and I'll be bringing my family here also. Appointments book out so you want to call asap. Parking can be a little difficult. read more

I went to Dr.Kasch many years ago, if I remember correctly it was around 2015ish. I was 22 and anxious. It was my first time having any procedure on my face and he removed the mark beautifully, he assured me there would be minimal scarring and he was right. Bless his soul and what a rare find. His office followed up over the course of the next 3 weeks and they did their best to ensure a satisfied patient with successful results. He also wrote me a FREE recommendation for my keratosis pilaris which I didn't ask for but EXTREMELY appreciated!!! He is an older gentleman who treats everyone with kindness and patience. He is a gem! My experience couldn't have been better. He's amazing and extremely skilled! A very delayed heartfelt thank you to Dr.Kasch & team. -patient from almost a decade ago :)) read more

I should have done this review a long time ago. Dr. Kasch is one of the best, most caring and thorough doctors I have ever been to. I was suffering from scabies and after visiting two other dermatologists and no clear answers, he went out of his way to get me in last minute because I was so miserable and frustrated. He treated me promptly, followed up with me often and made sure to get me through something that is ultimately far more psychological than physical in the end. I could not recommend him more. Ten stars! read more

I got a mole removed from my bottom lip. I have always wanted it done and Dr. Kasch had great reviews so I scheduled a consultation with him. During initial consultation he removed the mole and have had multiple follow ups. Reasonable cost and my mole is gone and it is hardly noticible that I had it removed. Would highly recommend! read more

My best friend referred me here. She got a mole removed by Dr. K and had a great experience. I'm in my 30s and noticed after giving birth, my skin is changing as I'm getting older. I have a lot more moles over the years, dry skin, skin tags, etc. I am more mindful of my skin. I've never had my skin checked before, only for a mole and a cyst once with my primary care doctor in my 20s. They don't refer you to a dermatologist unless something is concerning. I decided to make an appt with Dr. K. I pay out of pocket and believe he's worth it. He is amazing, all the reviews are true. He did a thorough check on my body, gave me advice and I'll definitely be back for my yearly checkups and skin concerns. He responds to my emails/pictures and answers all my questions. He's very knowledgeable and genuinely cares about his patients. They continuously follow up with you, if needed. I'm referring all my family and friends to him. read more

I have been a patient of Dr. Kasch for more than 20 years. He is the most caring and competent of all medical providers. He actually cares about the health of your skin, not just the appearance for beauty! He has met me after hours to see a skin flare up at its worst and his dedicated staff who have been with him since day 1 are so committed to helping me with a prescription that is NOT covered by my insurance. Every year they go to bat for me to get it taken care of. I can't say enough good things about Dr. Kasch - he is a true doctor whose goal is your good health. Thank you Dr. Kasch and staff. read more

Easily the best and most accommodating doctor I've been to. I barely felt the surgery for my mole removal, and his instructions were very clear for how to take care of it. Its been about a month, and its healing very well. I won't be posting a picture for privacy sake, but I would say that you definitely won't regret coming here. He even came in on a Sunday just to help change the surgical strip. Easily the nicest person to talk to also, and is always ready to answer questions. I'd highly recommend him for any skin related problems or questions. read more

Best dermatologist I have ever came a cross very informative very acknowledgeable of each person and there type of skin hands on with everything I don't ever feel like I'm just being brushed off like I have at other offices I've lived in San Francisco, Los Angeles and now recently have moved out to Sacramento and I'm so grateful too come across dr.Kasch he has been a lifesaver in many aspects time and time again I highly recommended him and his expertise services you will not regret it ! read more

Dr. Kasch is engaging, funny, and highly competent. While most of what I have done there is on the cosmetic side, if I were to need a medical skin problem resolved there is no one I would rather work with. read more

Just an amazing human being who obviously cares more for his patients than wringing out the last cent. Just a joy to be there and for once I can't wait to go to the doctor! read more

Dr Kasch is one in a million. He is careful, thorough, smart and caring. He also has a great sense of humor. Remarkably, since doctors are notorious for being bad at hiring staff, the women who run his office are both terrific, too! Laurie and Alicia are efficient and personable. I would recommend this office without hesitation to anyone who wants to take good care of his skin. If you want to be sold cosmetic services with promises to make you look twenty years younger than you are, this is not the place for you. read more

Dr. Kasch is a wonderful doctor! One hand he is very kind, pleasant, always comforting and relaxing you like you are his old friend, as well as explain each steps of the treatment; On the other hand he is serious, professional, competent, knowledgeable, and highly efficient about his treatment/process. Most important, he cares about his patient very much. He would always ensure you after each procedure that you can contact (email or call) him any time for any concern, yes he will response quickly outside business hours like weekend for every inquiries. He is one of few doctors that I know will do that and he make you feel that he is always there for you. Thank you Dr. Kasch! It is such a joy working with you!! read more

The best doctor in Sacramento. You do not need another dermatologist. He is an expert and we are lucky to have him.

Dr. Kasch is the best! I was dealing with a skin issue on my face that progressively got worse over the course of a year and half. I kept trying home remedies and nothing helped. Googling of course gave me a fatal diagnosis. Finally I ended up going to Dr. Kasch after reading all the Yelp reviews and I'm so glad I did. It was important to me to go to an MD. Dr. Kasch immediately knew what was going with me and gave me a prescription. I was sure I was going to have permanent scarring, since I had let it go on for so long, but nope my skin is clearing up and getting back to normal in just two months. Dr. K is awesome (he seemed more excited than I was at the results haha) and his staff is wonderful too. They've even been patient with me when I was late (I'm so sorry guys!) I only wish I had gone in sooner and saved myself the worry. Definitely recommend 100% read more

so I had this thing growing on my neck , and was getting concerned so I checked on yelp and found dr kasch. I got an appt easy enough by calling the office and they explained the whole thing about the insurance thing . not a problem , since I have a high deductible health plan anyway, and appreciated the fact that cost was explained to me before my visit. the cost is reasonable . the doctor is awesome! he's an experienced doctor, he's quick, and funny, and will explain and show things to you. turns out the thing on my neck was thankfully nothing serious but I chose to get it removed anyway . the surgery was short and painless and both the dr and assistant were very kind and caring . the follow up in the office is great . I got a few calls after my appt , they wanted to make sure I was doing ok , which I was. the office itself is a cool converted house. nothing fancy, but clean and comfortable . Parkin is easy , plenty of street parking in front. if you need a dermatologist , I am confident he will take good care of you also. read more

Dr kasch is amazing! He helped me get rid of acne that I had since my teen years. He always listened to what I wanted and was always available 24/7 for me. I had already tried everything out in the market for acne, including antibiotics and expensive facials/microdermabrasions ect.. nothing worked. I did my research and when I came to Dr Kasch I told him I was tired of trying things that didn't work. I needed aggressive treatment and I got just that. We started accutane. It was a long journey (6 months) but the results have been amazing. I am beyond happy with the results. read more

I had a weird scalp/forehead issue since my son was born 11 years ago and have been searching for something that would help since. Been to doctors at UC Davis and Kaiser several times and been prescribed expensive lotions and shampoos that either did nothing or just kind of made it a little better but not enough. After reading all the 5 star reviews I decided to see Dr. Kasch about it. After a very pleasant visit (like your friendly grampa is spot on) he gave me some samples of something he thought might work which I appreciated after shelling out 60-100 on crap that was useless. A week later my scalp and forehead is clear as a bell. And with $12 shampoo that I can order from Amazon. Special shout out to Alicia the receptionist. Friendly, sweet, and helpful. read more

I've had two visits with Dr. Kasch and I highly recommend him. He's extremely nice, very thorough and knowledgeable. I never got the feeling he was trying to rush off, he spent plenty of time diagnosing me and talking about my treatment. The overall feeling I get from him is that he absolutely loves what he does and it shows. His staff if great and his office is absolutely immaculate. I don't have standard insurance so paying upfront is not a problem, I found his rates more than reasonable for the care he provides. read more

Fun topic? Not quite. But my experience was great here so I'll share. Came in for mole removal (smack dab on my face) with a little concern for scarring. Everyone in this office is friendly and the appointments were timely. Prepare to go back often because he does stitches and carefully clips them off slowly over time to make sure no scarring happens. I do have a light scar, but nothing anyone has every noticed. You'd never guess a Cindy Crawford-esque mole was removed from the area. Also, prepare to wear a bandaid on it for quite a long time, you don't want any sun hitting the area for a long time. read more

First time going to see Dr. Kasch today for a couple minor skin concerns. But since his demeanor was so friendly, I felt comfortable asking him questions I had about ALL MY SKIN CONCERNS I'VE EVER HAD IN MY LIFE! Lol! And he answered each and every one of them thoroughly and patiently. Never did he make me feel like I was asking about too many things. Nor did I feel rushed. He is like the classic grandpa you wish you had when you were a kid. He had on a Snoopy pin on his white coat, a Mickey Mouse tie... and he kept telling me it's not my fault for having these random moles pop up! And he was so thrilled with my accurate self-diagnosis of my problems through Google. Hahaha I felt like a happy little grand kid in the office today even though I am a grown woman! lol Bottom line is, if you want a doctor who genuinely takes their time with you, very thorough, knowledgeable, and approachable, look no further! He even did a few simple procedures for me on the spot too and gave me a discount even though I didn't ask for one! Woohoo! read more

I was referred to this office by a close friend who has been coming here for years and said great things. I had two moles on my face that really bothered me. I'm 54 years old and thought I would leave them because I was scared of getting them taken off. I went in for a consultation and met Dr Kasch. It was such a comfortable situation and he made me feel like everything was going to be fine. I went ahead and did it and also had one removed from my arm as well. It was the best experience with a doctor that I've ever had. He's so kind and funny and comforting and talk to me through the whole process and kept me laughing. He made a scary experience easy and wonderful. I highly recommend this office and I will be coming back for all my future dermatology needs. Thank you so much to Dr. Kasche. After just two weeks my face looks amazing! I'm so beyond hapoy! read more

5 stars isn't enough. I cannot even imagine a better or more thorough doctor. In fact- I didn't realize doctors could be this good. Dr. Kasch is incredibly thorough, thoughtful and he actually CARES. He and his team are unbelievably responsive, proactive, knowledgeable.. I honestly cannot say enough good things about my experience here. His office isn't very insurance friendly so the visit was out of pocket (over $200) but it was worth every single penny and I will never go to another dermatologist as long as Dr. Kasch is practicing. read more

I cannot state how wonderful Dr. Kasch and his staff are! Dr. Kasch has the most excellent "bedside" manner and truly goes out of his way to ensure his patients are taken care of. If only ALL Dr.'s were as good as him! He took time out of his VACATION time to contact me and get an update on patient status. I can't give him and his staff enough praise! He and I are on the same level when it comes to medical records too. He does NOT keep his medical records online like the rest of this "technologically advanced" society does. He believes that hackers can hack anything and keeps it all on paper, as the rest of the Dr. community should, IMHO. Will recommend Dr. Kasch to anyone and everyone, and I do, to anyone who is searching for the best in Dermatology. Heck, even the Dr.'s and staff at Sutter paid no attention to our concerns about the questionable "cyst" in my son's neck. They just issued antibiotic ointment to put on it when, in fact, it was a piece of glass from the windshield from his car accident. THANK YOU Dr. Kasch and staff! I will always come back to you! read more

Damn..... Doctor does not accept any insurances..... Any..... More on that to follow.... So since moving here I've been seeking my new derm doc and using Yelp as my GPS to do so as to date its my #1 reference point for all things that I either want or need...... Read some stellar reviews on here about Dr J. Kasch and so I called to see if my insurance was one that they accepted. I carry a PPO which enables me to go damn near anywhere; even outside the USA and to date I haven't been denied entry into any medical need because of it.... Stephanie who was super pleasant and very helpful answered the phone today in the office today when I called and I asked if they accepted insurance as from the previous reviews on Yelp a few reviewers stated that their insurance picked it all up... Jana: Hello, I'm looking for a dermatologist as I'm new to the area. I'm calling to see if you accept my insurance plan. Office person: Actually we do not accept any insurance. We are not in 'network' with any insurance company; actually we are considered an "out of network" provider. Jana: Soooooooooo........ Does that mean that I pay up front and in full for any and all services rendered and then submit the charges to my insurance company and hope and pray that they pay it? Office person: Ummmmmm... Yes..... HERE's MY BEEF: I have to date, had decades of experience both working behind the desk of multiple medical providers offices in many capacities including billing and collection to insurance companies, have been in the health care field in some capacity or another since the early 1990's and know exactly what this is as I have seen it too many times and one common thread always runs through it. Unfortunately it's greed..... Damn that sounds awful but it is what it is.... This occurs when a medical provider or provider of any service for that reason does one of two things: Either has a large enough following typically via word of mouth referrals and has more business than they know what to do with because of this and see no need to settle for what an insurance company will pay them for their services rendered AND/OR they are just plain old greedy. I don't know which one of these pertains to this MD I'm only disappointed that I will at this junction never know as well I'm not taking my chances that my excellent insurance coverage will reimburse me for 100% of the out of pocket expenses I'll have to pay up front should I choose to see this doc. The search continues......... Final Grade: D read more
