I first started seeing Dr. Lupton for adult acne issues and over the years have also checked out their cosmetic services. Dr. Lupton always provides an honest diagnosis and walks through various options. I've always felt like my skin is in the best hands! Shawn is a great esthetician both for facials and dermaplane. I love her calm and friendly demeanor! She always goes out of her way to make sure her patients are happy and taken care of. What I've always appreciated is that they never try to upsell expensive products or procedures. In fact, Dr. Lupton has recommended OTC products many times. It's refreshing and rare in San Diego! If you're looking for a dermatologist, visit SD Derm ASAP!

GOOD NEWS: Beautiful office; pleasant staff. BAD NEWS: I've…read moregone to Dr. Lupton twice to treat the small pre-cancer "bumps" on my forehead. (I had previously been going to another Dermatologist for years without any problems and the results were always good). Nothing was changed after these 2 visits so I've gone to another Dermatologist who has taken care of the matter, as I've been used to. Prompt results! On the first visit Dr. Lupton said I should buy a cream to use on my forehead. It cost $139.00! Naturally it didn't do a thing to help. I asked for my money back and the girl said something like "sorry, that's from the manufacturer and we don't refund". That was BS to me. Needless to say I will never go back.

They are also very honest and not just trying to sell you on additional treatments/things you don't need-- I was interested in getting laser for a skin concern, and Gary gave me a candid opinion that I didn't need it and it wouldn't do much for my concern, which I really appreciated. They have my trust 1000%, I'd highly recommend.

I've been to many dermatologists over the years for acne and acne scarring. Dr. Lupton was the…read morefirst doctor that truly listened and didn't dismiss my concerns based on comparisons to patients with more severe conditions. He set clear, realistic expectations based on my budget and how aggressive an approach I wanted to take. Even more importantly, because of him my teenage son is now acne-free, and his self-esteem has returned. I'm thankful for Dr. Lupton and his long-standing, friendly staff. The consistency and familiarity make this practice truly special.

I came in through a Facebook promotion advertising a $59 non-surgical facelifting treatment, with…read moreimpressive before-and-after photos. It sounded like a good opportunity, especially since I hadn't done any facial treatments in a while. From the moment I walked in, the focus quickly shifted from the advertised service to upselling. I was taken to another room by Angie and presented with additional treatments, then encouraged to become an "advertising model" in exchange for a 50% discount on a microneedling package -- $1,800 instead of $3,600. When I explained that I hadn't planned to spend that kind of money, I was pressured to sign up for third-party financing. After I declined, the tone noticeably changed, and I was told that the "deal" would no longer be available later unless I committed on the spot. In the end, I did not receive the advertised lifting treatment at all -- just a standard facial. During the appointment, I was also upsold an additional $30 mask. With that and a 25% tip, I ended up paying $112. I'm sharing this so others are aware: the social media promotion appears to be more of a lead-in for aggressive upselling rather than the actual service being advertised.

They got all of us in together, which honestly made the whole experience so much more fun than going solo. One of my friends had never done any kind of facial procedure before and the staff was incredibly warm and patient -- they walked her through everything before starting, and generally made the whole vibe feel way less intimidating. The clinic itself is clean, sleek, and has that "I take care of myself" energy. Shoutout to the team for being so accommodating and for not laughing at us when we said we wanted to make a day of it. 10/10, highly recommend bringing your besties!

I received confirmations for everything as seen in attached. When I arrived, the front desk person acted like my presence was an inconvenience and simply said, "We don't have anyone here who can do that." I showed her the emails and she agreed I should've had appointments... but that was it. I explained I was leaving town the next day and asked if they could squeeze in just one quick treatment (less than 15 minutes). She checked, came back, and said, "Okay...I'm sorry, I don't know what to tell you." I asked if the provider could fit me in and she replied, "Oh no, she won't." At that point, I just can't. The issue wasn't the scheduling mistake as things happen ...it was the complete lack of care in how it was handled. No alternative options, no apology beyond a flat "sorry," and no incentive offered to return Anne's make up for the huge inconvenience. Silver lining: I called SkinSpirit down the street and they were AMAZING -- warm, helpful, and got me in last minute. I officially found my new med spa!

Stupidly, I yielded to her "expertise" and allowed her to cut a hole in my arm which turned out to be a freckle...with a higher bill and 4 weeks of healing!!! STILL HAVE A HUGE SCAR months later! She froze a few other precancer areas which I question now as well. She is as other's note rather aggressive and lacking bedside manner. You sort of feel like a piece of meat on the table which I have never experienced before. Only switched docs due to insurance coverage changes but I will return to my previous office and pay cash over this. Trust your gut, get a second opinion and do not agree to procedures that don't feel right.

He was the first doctor to point out how my face wasn't symmetrical due to my cerebral palsy and gave advice right away on what could be done to fix it. I also had a really difficult nose to operate on in my opinion because of the shape and severe breathing problems. He fixed my problem perfectly and made my nose look a million times better. My brow lift, fat transfer, chin implant, and rhinoplasty all turned out amazing and made my appearance much better. I'm very happy with my results and I'm incredibly thankful! Even if I forgot to ask a question or forgot some instructions the staff and doctor were soo helpful when I came back or called to ask. They were super helpful throughout the entire process & made me feel comfortable from pre-op to post-op. 10/10 recommend! THANK YOU TO THE SWEETEST TEAM AND BEST DOCTOR!
