I had such a great first experience here! The office is in a super convenient spot in La Jolla with easy parking, & the office itself is gorgeous. They have beautiful crystals everywhere & it honestly feels more like walking into a spa than a dermatology office. Maddie, Kindra, & Stephanie at the front desk were all so sweet and made everything super easy from the second I walked in. Natalie, the PA I saw, was amazing. She was so kind, took the time to answer all my questions, & I left feeling like I had an actual plan. Overall I had a really great experience & I'm looking forward to coming back (which I never thought I'd say about a dermatologist, haha). Definitely recommend! read more

The staff are amazing and Kindra helping everyone in the lobby staying hydrated. You're the best!!! The care and service is 5star! I've have Dr. Juan Kojima has been my doctor for over 2yrs and he's great trying to get my treatment sustainable. Thank you for all the extra care!!!! He's always goes above and beyond. I don't feel like a number on their books. read more

Mona Mofid, MD FAAD - Here for my appt. - Dermatologists Near Me - San Diego, California

See all

Doc Juan is awesome! He is so friendly and chats with you like you're talking to a friend, but when it's time to talk skin, he gets down to business. He's extremely experienced, takes the time to explain the different options, and is very straightforward about what to expect. I always feel comfortable asking questions and never feel rushed. Most importantly, the results have always been great. I really appreciate his knowledge, honesty, and the care he puts into his work. Danke, Doc Juan. You are the best! read more

Dr. Mofid is my favorite doctor in the entire world. She is a dedicated, knowledgeable and responsible physician with impeccable credentials. She is down to Earth, kind, funny and welcoming. I always feel like a million dollars after I visit her. I cannot recommend her more highly. If I had to choose only one physician she would be it. Thank you Dr. Mofid and staff...you are awesome! read more

Very compassionate with her patience, I have nothing but the upmost respect for this doctor. She truly is a blessing to those that have the privilege to be seen by her. We should only be so lucky that her practice could be emulated by others. read more

I have been going to see Dr Mona for many years... she is by far my best provider!!! The staff is so pleasant when you arrive or call, and the lobby is so inviting! My mom had melanoma so I am very concerned about skin health. Dr Mona goes above and beyond to make sure over inch of my skin is checked, and is so helpful! She's the best! read more

I'm so grateful for the care I received from Dr. Mona. She took the time to evaluate my scar and gave me thoughtful guidance on the best treatment approach. Thanks to her recommendation, I was referred to an excellent specialist who handled the procedure, but what really stood out was how Dr. Mona continued to check in afterward to make sure everything was healing properly. She provided me with detailed aftercare advice, including helpful product recommendations for sun protection and scar recovery. Dr. Mona's kindness, professionalism, and genuine care for her patients truly set her apart. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dermatologist who not only has tremendous expertise but also takes the time to support each patient's long-term health and confidence. read more

Amazing i have been dealing with my skin issues 33 years. I lost all hope that i would ever get better specialist behind specialist same thing. This is the best you are going to get But i asked one last time can i see a dermatologist Juan Kojima, PA-C bedside manner exceptional, treatment the best, caring for patients phenomenal. Staff and receptionist always have a smile and nice. Respect your time they are always on schedule. This office cares about their patients providing the optimal care possible. Thank you my skin feels like skin again and i look like myself again. read more

Dr. Mona's unanimously rave reviews are hard to match. So instead, let me share my personal appointment experience. Arrival: I reach Dr. Mona's office - which is actually more like a wellness retreat, enter the waiting room - except there is typically no wait, the cheerful receptionist greets me warmly and ushers me to an exam room - that feels like a reading room with heartwarming picture books. Treatment: Dr. Mona enters with a smile, summarizes past visits, asks about new concerns, and double-checks to ensure nothing is overlooked; typically everything is fine, but if not, she thoroughly explains the issue, described the treatment options, and expertly addresses it in the most effective and visually satisfying way. Departure: The receptionist checks that I am happy, offers me a seasonal treat, and I head home looking forward to my next visit. In short, I am very fortunate to have Dr. Mona as my dermatologist! read more

Last month I had an appointment at Dr. Mona Mofid's office. When I walked inside I was immediately struck by the level of class, design and decoration. It was very apparent that a great attention to detail was made in order to create an inviting and calm atmosphere. I was very nervous before going in, and by the time my name was called, that feeling had evaporated. All of the staff behind the desk was friendly and I was able to be seen very quickly. The air of calmness and decoration even extended to the private rooms as well. My consultation was seen by Natalie, who is a PA at this office. She entered the room with an energy of possitivity which I havn't been accustomed to at other medical practices. Natalie was very forthcoming and communicated delightfully. My visit was regarding a skin problem which I'm very insecure about. Natalie's demeanor was professional and understanding. I felt incredibly comfortable sharing my problem with her and my subsequent treatment has been successful constant progress. For the first time, I actually look forward to subsequent visits at a doctor's office. read more

Dr. Mona is almost like a therapist. She is incredibly kind and knowledgeable. Her office waiting room is like a spa in Sedona. The staff in the office are stellar. Dr. Mona knows her stuff and has a trainedeye. I'm extremely blessed to get to see her every three months to keep my skin healthy. I give her 10 stars out of five! read more

Dr. Mona is the best doctor I have ever been to. Her staff are extremely kind, welcoming and professional, and her level of expertise and knowledge is unparalleled in the Dermatology space. I came to her for a second opinion on an issue and she helped me 1000x more than the other doctors. Juan Kojima, her PA, is also extremely knowledgeable, responsive and helpful in explaining complicated health situations. If you have any dermatological issue whatsoever, do not look any further than Dr. Mona. read more

I had a fantastic experience at this dermatology office. As soon as I walked in, I was warmly greeted by the front staff. Everyone was very welcoming and I didn't have to wait long until I saw my dermatologist, Juan Kojima. In all honesty, Kojima is one of the best provider I have interacted with. He was a knowledgeable and personable individual. He was able to explain the issues of my skin and also provide the solution. Additionally, he was a joy to talk to and I hope I get to see him the next time I come back. All in all, if you are looking for a dermatologist, this place is it! Note: Parking was quite easy and stress-free the both times I came here! read more

Juan/PA is wonderful, along with the staff. Juan is always on time, takes time with you, explains things well, goes the extra mile and kind hearted. The staff is excellent. I have found that it's hard to find a dermatoligist with attention to great deail and an engaging manner, where you feel important to the process/appointment, not a number. Thank you Juan!!! read more

What can I say? My husband and I get checked here every year for prevention. She would give us a lot of samples to try before we spend money on them. Dr Mona is simply amazing with her genuine caring personality and professionalism. read more

I am already looking forward to my next visit with Dr. Mona Mofid and her crew as I am leaving her office with a new scheduled appointment, for 6 months later. Can't wait! We San Diegans are truly blessed to have Dr. Mofid in our community. 10 stars out of 5. But, let's back up just a little. As you enter this office the troubles and anxieties of the outside world fade away and you are embraced by the music and atmosphere of this calm and welcoming office. Someone elses review nailed it when they described it like a spa in Sedona. But it is so much more than that. It is a sanctuary where you will be taken care of body and soul and find that kindness matters. The waiting area is littered with awards, you would almost think that Dr. Mofid is popular... Read a few more of the reviews and find out... Front Desk Crew are warm and welcoming, helpful, attentive, patient, super service minded, and all smiles even when I am troublesome (like eventually causing everyone to get involved in my itty bitty troubles). Calling or in-person I am always greeted with a warm welcome and taken care of until I feel comfortable all is done correctly, and it does get done properly. Time of appointments are respected. You are respected, as a human and not a problem passing through. Tried to sneak in on my birthday without having it noticed. No such luck. Nothing passes by unnoticed here... big fuss and congratulations, all very cute and heartwarming. (I secretly loved it) Patient rooms are so inviting and nice in the interior decoration perfect for an afternoon nap. This is where I often get a moment to wind down and relax from that day's problems, a good time to ponder a little. Enter Dr. Mona Mofid, always with a huge smile and tinkling eyes and huge hugs (maybe I am her favorite patient after all... Hahaha!) Knowledgeable would be an understatement. Truly on top of her game. She has an eagle's trained eyes and doesn't miss a thing, and will carefully explain what is or what is not a cause for concern. She is no text book doctors who keeps a distance to her patients. Oh no, she connects on a personal level with her patients and goes waaaaaaaay beyond the issue at hand. Always enlightening and multilevel and perspective in the whys and hows of what is going on with a patient's issues. And she give you time, time to slowly walk through your issues, time to remember what questions you had for her before arriving. Time to sort things out without being rushed in any way. Dr. Mofid is careful to explain and convey information so that you are well informed and feel comfortable and comforted. There is never any judgment in any way during her observations. However, she does like to make you aware of what might come down the road depending on choices you make. Which is great as you then can actually make sure to achieve an outcome you want. She makes sure you are informed on how to stay healthy and will give you a variety of samples of stuff that might help. More than a doctor, she is a friend, and counsel of concerns, who eases your mind and worries to something that is manageable and digestable to alleviate any feeling of overwhelmed. She will offer a great deal of advice on matters of solar exposure. From here it is up to you to make her proud on your return visit. I have personal experience of turning the course of my skins development as I age and limit UV exposure and then see the big benefits from just a little effort. As you exit and re-enter the outside world you feel like you have a new steel armor to protect yourself with, body and soul. To sum it up, Dr. Mofid is that rare breed you come across more and more seldom these days that can only be described as a real pro. This review has a lot of shortcomings. First and foremost, my inability to properly convey what I would like to express. However, I hope you got the gist of it. Let's not forget the cheery goodbyes that come out of the fronts desk as you leave. I can't wait to come back... read more

Dr. Mofid and Dr. Kojima are the dermatologists I always reccomend to friends and family. This is a rare find for a Doctor's office where the vibe is one of genuine compassion - these are good people! Dr. Kojima actively listens and provides options for care that were highly personalized to our situations. Each time we have come to him, he has been spot on with his treatment and the results exceeded our expectations. Based on the positive experiences where he went above and beyond, we trust Dr. Kojima (and Dr. Mofid) unconditionally for our dermatological care. read more

I am happy to have been seeing Juan Kojima (Dr. Mona Mofid's P.A.) for a couple of years. Mr. Kojima is an amazing healthcare professional. He really listens to what you have to say showing genuine care for his patients and their concerns. He uses his experience to be straightforward and clear with his advice and what is needed, making sure to answer any questions. He is quick and efficient getting the work itself done and does the job right, two things I really appreciate! If you need regular care and examinations for your skin, Mr. Kojima is the best I have found, I strongly recommend him! read more

Dr. Juan is so caring and understanding. He takes his time to listen to your concerns and evaluates everything thoroughly. I have two disabled wheelchair-bound sisters, so it is a bit difficult to take them to appointments and how the doctor is take the time needed to do a thorough evaluation. I can honestly say that Dr Juan is one of the best doctors that we have been to. Not to mention, but Aesthetics of the office are so amazing you just don't want to leave! Front desk is also super friendly and helpful. If you are looking for a dermatologist, take it from me and go to doctor Mofid's office, you will NOT be disappointed read more

PA Juan helped me with my cystic acne and my face is clear now all thanks to him. He is super nice and caring! I recommend him to anyone for dermatology concerns. Thank you! read more

The office staff is also very friendly and helpful whenever I call or I'm there in person. read more

Juan Kojima has gone above and beyond my expectations since I've been in his care. I always look forward to each visit as I know he will bring positive energy, a friendly attitude, and proven results. read more

Mona Mofid, MD FAAD - Dr Onyx is ready to help! Scalpel! We love Dr Mona! We're her number one fans! Xo - Dermatologists Near Me - San Diego, California

I made an appointment in late July and was able to be seen by Juan Kojima in mid September. I had several issues I wanted to discuss and he was exceptionally informative and helpful in the immediate resolution of most concerns. He also planned the next steps to investigate and determine a diagnosis for the last concern that was not able to be resolved in our first meeting. I could not have felt more comfortable or been more grateful leaving the office today; I was listened to and provided with well-explained, caring, and efficient care! The office staff was helpful and informative as well when scheduling and explaining who to visit for lab work within my medical insurance network. The office itself was warm, comfortable and inviting. This is the practice I would personally recommend to any family or friends in need of a dermatologist read more

I cannot say enough wonderful things about this practice. The #1 reason that I keep returning here for all my derm care is because of Juan! He is incredibly informative about all aspects of skin care. He is kind, thorough, gentle and professional. It's obvious to me he cares about his patients and he answers all my insane questions and alleviates my anxiety if I'm nervous about a procedure. That's not an easy task. I highly recommend him. I'm a nurse at Mary Birch Hospital and a lot of my coworkers are choosing to go here because I constantly rave about him. KUDOS to Juan and the entire staff for being steps above the rest! The front desk staff is efficient and friendly. Thank you. Sincerely, Shari A read more

I was a new patient at Dr.Mona Mofids office about 3 months ago and everyone here was amazing. First off, the office decor was gorgeous. The detail put into the office made me feel calm. All of the assistants in the office made me feel at home by offering me some freshly made coffee. No doctors office that I've been to has ever offered me anything other than water. When my consult began, I was immediately impressed by doctor Monas friendly nature. I had been dealing with psoriasis and used so many medications I went in feeling frustrated. She educated me about my condition and I am finally starting to see change! I'm so thankful for her knowledge and compassion. She is an amazing doctor and amazing person. read more

Dr.Mofid is one of the most caring humans I have ever known. My husband had a horrifying experience with a plastic surgeon and a flap procedure and he was dreading going back in to have his stitches removed the next day. He happened to be with me when I had my annual with Dr. Mofid and she offered to numb him up and take them out. He was so very relieved and she asked him all the way through if he was in any pain.We are so very grateful to have this angel as our doctor. She is absolutely the best!!! Her office staff are friendly, helpful and just lovely. The wonderful music in her beautifully decorated office is just the icing on the cake. read more

I was referred to Dr. Mofid's practice after struggling for years with a dermatological issue. I received excellent care by her awesome PA-C, Juan Kojima. As we worked through the proper diagnosis, Juan was patient and genuinely caring. He was sensitive to my thoughts and concerns and guided me through treatment options. I have seen tremendous progress and look forward to seeing Juan again to finalize my treatment. read more

UPDATE : Dr Mona had her staff contact me about the mistake that was made with scheduling and was able to get me in after all. I am extremely impressed that she rook the time to have her staff reach out to me within 24 hours and that she took the time to personally respond to my original Yelp review. My friend had told me that she was absolutely amazing which is why I was so upset when I thought I couldn't get in. Thank you Doctor Mofid for the amazing response !!! I was referred to Doctor Mofid by a friend because I am interested in starting to do an annual skin exam. I made my appointment and had to wait almost 2 months to get in which I understand. when I made my appointment I spent plenty of time on the phone giving all my insurance an personal information to ensure that i could be accepted as a new patient. Almost 2 months go by and one week before my appointment I get a call from the office saying that if my primary care physician is not specifically with Sharp Community health they cannot accept me as a new patient. So I said that's fine since it is a baseline appointment I'll just pay cash since I have now waited so long and I don't want to be canceled last minute ... because now I will obviously have to find a new doctor and wait ANOTHER 2 months due to THEIR mistake. She said no to cash as as well .. And was basically like .. sorry .. you're screwed .. we messed up and now you're out a dermatology appointment for the foreseeable future. Thanks read more

Walking into this office you get a sense of calmness. Everyone is so polite and thoughtful. Juan Kojima seems too really care and goes out of his way to answer any questions you might have. Really knowledgeable and gave me great suggestions on improving my skin condition. I highly recommend seeing him. read more

This is the best office ever! Dr. Mona and staff are always nice, calming and sooo professional. Dr.Mona has the most wonderful disposition and skills imaginable. Just saw Juan Kojima this pm (he fit me in during his lunch hr) -He is just wonderful! So skillful and informational. He and Dr Mona have the best bedside manner!!! read more

A doctor who actually looks you in the eye and talks to you. Sweet, smart and kind. Doesn't do cosmetics procedures . Just does what dermatologist should do. read more

Dr. Juan Kojima goes above and beyond in every way. His kindness, light hearted nature, and genuine care creates an unparalleled patient experience that I genuinely look forward to! Dr. Kojima takes the time to understand you as a whole person, tailoring the perfect routine for your particular needs. His wealth of knowledge and expertise shines through in every interaction and I have never met a healthcare professional who so eloquently and thoroughly answers every question I have. As an acne sufferer for over 8 years, I have been on countless regimes both oral and topical. When I began to experience breakouts again after a 6 month course of accutane, I thought that the only solution would be another round. Dr. Kojima saved me from 6 extremely difficult months by using his expertise to create an even better plan of action for me that has left me relatively acne free for the longest period of my life. I have gone from worrying about a breakout if I didn't have enough water to drink one day to consistently clear and glowy skin. If you're searching for a healthcare provider who truly cares about your well-being, look no further than Dr. Kojima. He is simply incredible! read more

I have nothing but good things to say about Dr. Mona and her staff, especially Juan Kojima. He went out of his way to help me out to get me in the have a mole checked out and his demeanor is one that makes you feel like you are important to him- very very understanding. He takes the time to explain things and makes you feel at ease. The whole staff makes you feel like you are important to them. If you need a dermatologist Dr. Mona and her staff are the best place to go- you will feel like they are there for only you and that they really care. Kudos to Juan Kojima and all he did for me and Darlene. Jerry and Darlene Smith If I could give more than 5 stars I would. read more

I visit Mona's office recently to have a few moles checked out. It was a great experience from start to finish. The receptionist was friendly and polite and I didn't wait for more than a few minutes. The waiting room feels like you're at a spa. Mona was booked up so I saw Juan who was very professional, knowledgeable and personable. I'll definitely be back for any future dermatology needs. read more

Juan Kojima is such a warm and welcoming doctor. I came in with cystic acne last year not even able to come in without makeup. Now I can proudly go out in public with my bare skin because of his thorough treatment. Thank you Dr. kojima for all the confidence you gave back to me. read more

Thanks for another great visit today!. read more

If you had a best friend who also just happened to be a world class Dermatologist...That would be Dr. Mona Mofid! Going through what we all have experienced the past few years, I was truly looking forward to my appointment. This is an extremely well managed office...From initial greeting to scheduling my next appointment. Even though my last visit was a few years back, Dr. Mofid remembered all my personal details and welcomed me as if I were a guest in her home. If you have scanned previous reviews, it's challenging to find new adjectives to describe Dr. Mofid...She is kind, caring, patient, attentive and extremely knowledgable! That said, the two words I will always associate with Dr. Mofid are friend and family. Highly recommended. read more

Juan Kojima is great. I had a few skin concerns and he gave me a very detailed inspection . And I am 100 percent confident that I have nothing to worry about. Office is beautiful. Great patient service from the staff. I felt very comfortable and welcome at my visit. Would give six stars if possible. read more

I recently had a procedure here and was helped by Juan. He was able to clear time in his schedule to get me in before the end of the year. He was very friendly and professional. Juan took ample time to ensure I knew what was happening throughout my surgery and post care. I will definitely be coming back to him with any further needs. read more
