I had a very frustrating experience with Golden State Dermatology this morning, and my biggest…read moreconcern is less about one individual employee and more about how the practice appears to be staffing and managing its front desk. I had a confirmed 8:00 a.m. appointment and took the day off work specifically to attend it. When I arrived, the front desk was clearly overwhelmed with multiple patients checking in at once. I gave the employee my name several times and my date of birth, but she initially told me there was no record of me in the system at all. She then told me I did not have an appointment that day and instead had an appointment on a Wednesday at 10:30 a.m. I explained that this could not be correct because, due to my work schedule, I only make medical appointments on Fridays. Unfortunately, I felt dismissed rather than having anyone pause to investigate what might have happened. After going outside, I checked my appointment history and confirmed that my appointment was, in fact, scheduled for that morning. There had clearly been some kind of scheduling or technical issue. I called the appointment desk to explain what I had found and happened to reach the same employee. Despite explaining that I had a confirmed appointment and had already taken the day off work, there was no attempt to investigate the discrepancy or accommodate me. I was simply offered the next available Friday appointment, September 11 at 8:00 a.m. I want to be fair to the front-desk employee: she appeared experienced and professional, but also visibly rushed and overloaded. That is why I believe this is ultimately a management and staffing issue. Golden State Dermatology's physician partnership and management team should take a hard look at how the front desk is staffed, particularly during the morning rush, and at the reliability of its scheduling system. When a patient has a confirmed appointment, rearranges their workday, shows up on time, and is turned away because of an apparent system error, there should be a process for investigating the problem and making a reasonable effort to accommodate them. Instead, I lost a day of work, made an unnecessary trip to the office, and left feeling dismissed. I hope Golden State Dermatology takes this feedback seriously. A medical practice can have excellent clinicians, but the patient experience begins at the front desk, and today that experience fell well short.

Where do I even start!? My daughter had only been able to…read morebreathe through one nostril for many years after breaking her nose twice in childhood. She had a severely deviated septum with slight curve in her nose that had grown crooked from the bone as well as chronic sinus infections which landed her in the hospital, and chronic dark circles under her eyes from years of poor sleep and poor breathing. Once she turned 16 (her face had stopped growing) we did an enormous amount of research including a consultations w/ top Septoplasty / Rinoplasty surgeons and ultimately chose Dr. Seth. Best decision ever! I'll be honest. I came in nervous, stressed and perhaps a bit intense with my research notes and told Dr. Seth, somewhat sternly, "We are only looking for a restoration not transformation" and "I want extreamly minor asthetic changes" while at the same time my daughter did want cosmetic changes to the tip, more upturned and smaller profile. She showed him an isnpo pic of a.random Instagram girl with a very upturned "nose job" nose. Exactly what I didn't want! Dr Seth had to navigate diplomatically between the two of us while also making asthetic suggestions w/ his expert, artistic eye. I had to bring her back for a second consult because I wouldn't allow him to make any asthetic changes the first time only structural breathing changes. Throughout the process he was kind, patient, thorough, skilled, and genuinely listened to what we wanted; breathing first, restoration of her natural appearance second, straighten the curve, only a tiny change to the tip. When he started working on ber, her septum was even more severely deviated than imaging had shown. He had to cut the bone in six places to straighten everything out. Six! Her first words when the splints came out were 'holy sh*t I can breathe.' She went to the gym the next morning. The aesthetic result is everything we hoped for. She loves breathing of course, loves that it's straight now, loves her mild upturned tip and softer profile. I love that he used an extreamly soft, artistic touch. She looks more polished but not obvious nose job at all. He is a true expert in his craft. She is breathing perfectly now. Her dark circles are dramatically finished and people are telling her she looks great without specifically identify what changed. That is exactly what we asked for. He delivered. If you are considering this surgery for yourself or your child and you want a surgeon with the technical skill to handle a complex functional case AND the aesthetic sensibility to leave your face looking like you, just better, Dr. Seth is your surgeon. Note: As I write this /post these pics, she is only about 5 weeks post op. She healed perfectly. There was a bit of panic at around day 8 when we first saw it. Thank God Dr Seth had warned us that swelling pulls the tip up a lot and it will settle back down. These pics are only 5 weeks and it will keep settling but we are already thrilled with the results.

Another yearly update for Dr. Zaka's practice…read more Dr. Zaka continues to be incredibly fast and efficient. My appointments are always seamless, and I love that I can routinely get in and out of the clinic within 15 minutes without ever feeling rushed. The biggest update this year is her adoption of AI-assisted workflows using the Aura 3D Imaging System. It is a massive step forward for the practice and a huge selling point. By utilizing this advanced technology, Dr. Zaka is shifting patient care from reactive treatments to highly precise, predictive, and preventative care. Having my treatments backed by this kind of sub-surface data gives me immense confidence in my long-term results. If you are looking for a forward-thinking, tech-forward medical aesthetician in Walnut Creek, I cannot recommend Dr. Zaka enough.

She was cold, snappy, and a bit rude at times when I asked questions. For example, we were discussing Botox and she asked me to raise my eyebrows. I was struggling to do so on command, which happens. Instead of guiding me, she said right off the bat in an agitated tone "I don't know why you're not raising them. Maybe you're shy." This is not how you talk to patients, especially when they are already putting themselves in a vulnerable setting like a medical aesthetics office. This was just one of several things that rubbed me the wrong way. It's a shame, because I heard good things about her work. I may have been interested in working with her, if it were not for her off-putting nature during our consult. Instead, it was an immediate no for me after I left her office. Giving two stars because she at least gave some helpful info about potential treatments and pricing. But her bedside manner needs work.

Anthony, who worked closely with him throughout the entire process, was attentive to every detail and truly made me feel supported and at ease. I had a carcinoma removed from my scalp -- something very delicate, especially as a woman. I was truly impressed by the level of care and attention they gave me. They made sure to remove the smallest possible amount of hair, and someone on the team even braided sections of it to help preserve as much as they could. When the bandage was removed, I was honestly surprised: the incision was minimal, the scar was thin and clean, and the healing process went better than I could have hoped for. This team turned what could have been a frightening and emotional experience into one filled with professionalism, kindness, and true care. I feel incredibly fortunate to have been in their hands.

I couldn't be happier that I kept searching for the right surgeon for me…read more Years ago, I had my original surgery with Dr. Prescott (at the same clinic Dr. Eberlin now leads). From consultation to post-op care, I had zero complaints. Fast forward 18 years - my results were still amazing with no issues at all. I simply decided I wanted to switch from saline to silicone. I was sad to hear Dr. Prescott had retired, so I consulted with two other surgeons - one of whom came highly recommended in Folsom. Unfortunately, I didn't feel confident moving forward. Both told me they would need to create a new incision under my breast for the implant exchange. I asked why we couldn't go through my original incision (which is barely visible along my lower areola line), and they said reopening it wasn't a good idea and wasn't even an option. When I met Dr. Eberlin, everything changed. I was immediately relieved when I asked where the new incision would need to be, and without hesitation he said we could use my existing incision. He explained that I had healed beautifully and that areolar incisions are known to heal very well and offer natural camouflage compared to the 3-4 inch incisions that some surgeons still make under the breast. He also uses the Keller Funnel technique, something many top surgeons use - which allows for a "no-touch" implant placement. This reduces the risk of bacterial contamination and, in my case, allowed him to go through my original incision. That was incredibly important to me. If you're considering this procedure, I would highly recommend watching videos on how the Keller Funnel works. Unless you are choosing extremely large implants, in my opinion it's a much better approach than creating a larger incision under the breast. From the moment I left my consultation, I knew I would proceed with him. I never felt pressured or rushed. It felt like a thoughtful, genuine conversation. He gave his professional opinion when I asked, but ultimately empowered me to decide on the size and approach that felt right for me. On surgery day, he came in to speak with me beforehand and made sure I felt completely comfortable. Again, no rushing - just calm, confident care. Beyond his technical skill, he is simply a kind and caring human being. You can tell he truly loves what he does and is passionate about his work. I am beyond happy and so grateful I found him. If you are considering plastic surgery, I would recommend Dr. Eberlin without hesitation.
