I have been seeing Kelly for about a year now & she's done an amazing job with everything she has done for me, which is a lot! I have a keloid that she has been treating. I had surgery and had radiation done on it. She gives me steroid injections to control the growth and has been working with me to also get rid of my hyper & hypopigmentation from the radiation. She is so meticulous and tries her best to give me the best result possible. That includes having me see another dermatologist as verification she's doing the best she can. So far I'm having results and if you don't know anything about keloids or pigmentation issues than just know they are insanely stubborn and require a lottt of patience and persistence. I also go to her for my Botox and more recently for filler. I previously went to LA to a super expensive facial balancer and Kelly did a much better job at making sure I got what I wanted. I was able to achieve more facial balancing with her than with the previous injector I had gone to. I've also gone to her with skin problems like eczema and prescription for my lashes to grow. To wrap this long review up, if you're looking for a highly skilled, meticulous, sweet dermatologist that doesn't take ages to book with, she's basically all you need. She's the best read more

Kelly is wonderful to work with. I've had at least four separate sessions with her and she's so expert at helping me choose what procedure will bring me the best results for my skin, my goals, and my budget! Gina read more

I absolutely love Kelly! She took the time out during my son's wart removal appointment to check a mole on my neck and immediately sent it in for biopsy, which came back basal cell carcinoma. Kelly is on top it! I also came back for lip injections, and my lips are perfect! Not to mention, her prices won't break the bank. So glad I found her! read more

I've been putting off removing the skin tags I got during my last pregnancy. After scouring the mom groups and reading not-so-great reviews, I found Kelly. Her pricing was very reasonable and she could get me in quickly. She got rid of all of my skin tags and even my angiomas so I can feel confident again. I'm 3-days out and they're healing nicely. Super easy booking as well! read more

Oceana Dermatology - This is one hour after skin tags removal - Dermatologists Near Me - Carlsbad, California

Today I had an appointment with Kelly. I've had a scalp issue that I have seen both my primary Dr., a dermatologist and a rheumatologist for with little care, diagnosis or follow up care. It's been disheartening at best. My scalp issue though has been on hyper drive, so after hearing of a new medication, I started looking for a care provider that could assist. Kelly and I messaged initially to ensure what I was looking for was within her scope and then I made an appt. Kelly was thorough right out of the gate, getting a list of all medicines and products I've used and then I completed a standard profile prior to my appt. Kelly examined my scalp, documented the issues I've been having, checked for skin cancer while reviewing the area and then had me walk her through all the details. Made me a bit emotional to have such undivided and sincere care. It's been a hot min since I've had any of that and it's just not common anymore. My scalp issue will take time and effort to resolve but that's not why I wanted to write a review. I finally had a professional give me their full attention, ask all the right questions, dig in with me to start mapping a resolution and refer me to a dermatologist for some additional care that was out of her scope. Extremely grateful and equally impressed with this dedicated care provider. read more

Kelly is phenomenal! She did my skin tag removal without any numbing agents! I'm pregnant she took very good care of me and was extremely cautious! And I barely felt it at all! On top of that she's so sweet! read more

Stunned! I posted a review back on 7/31 as the care and effort on my behalf, for a scalp issue that has been nothing short of tortuous for me over the past year and a half...and having already seen numerous Dr.s and Specialists that did nothing to help resolve or even attempt to provide true relief, I met with Kelly at Oceana Dermatology to have a true healthcare experience with a professional. First...Kelly listened..and then she documented my history and went over my scalp in detail to better understand what I was experiencing. We spent a solid hour going over the past decade of health concerns that appeared to be auto immune related and were popping up like a bad game of Whack-a-Mole. Then, after all the details and history were discussed, pictures taken and empathy given...Kelly took action. There is a new medication on the market that most haven't heard of yet, so Kelly, had already gone online to look into the med and then got on the phone...picked up her phone and started this process with my insurance company, which we all know is painful, frustrating and overwhelming...and she went right to bat for me with calls to my provider, my pharmacy and more. Kelly wrote numerous letters after my provider first declined me for what is a very pricey medicine...and then she followed up with letters and fought back. Kelly is an absolute godsend in a world of "pass the buck" and folks pretending to care by having no real understanding or desire to truly care for a patient. Kelly texted me this morning. We learned that the decline was overturned and approved. I just could not believe my eyes. I logged into my provider and sure as heck, there was the approval. Called my pharmacy and they are ordering the medicine and I will have it on Monday. I'm so stunned..I want to cry. Kelly, thank you for being you. IDK how to thank you and even if this medicine is not the answer, I'll be forever thankful that you are in the world, doing what you do, to help people and make the world a better place. Thank you!

Absolutely the best dermatology office I've ever experienced. She is the most caring medical professional I've experienced in the dermatology field. For my entire life I've gone to offices where they only would spend 5 minutes with me and I felt very rushed and not cared for. She went over all of my areas of concern very thoroughly and made sure to burn off anything that was suspect. It felt nice to have someone care about my skin as much as I do. If you ever want very high level personal skin care experience from a dermatology professional, this is you place! Not only that, she is extremely personable and great to have conversation with. I will be recommending all of my surf friends to her. read more

Kelly did a phenomenal job on my lips and botox! She also managed to take care of some very severe granuloma annulare on my hand that I was suffering with for nearly a year. Highly recommend! read more

Kelly saved my skin! She is such a sweet lady and really does an amazing job. I had milia and cystic acne and was so surprised my skin could actually look so smooth and clear! Even years later she re-prescribes what is needed to get my skin back to its best state. She is very dedicated to her patients and I will never be going to another dermatologist. read more

Amazing experience! My friend recommended me this place. First time I came in I did botox - since I am in my 20s I didn't need a lot, and with that small amount Now after 4 moths I still see my forehead without any wrinkles! I did a juvederm lip fillers - just woow! Again, I did a very little amount - and the results are amazing! My lips look very natural, and even. There is no any weird outcomes or bruising. Highly recommended place! I love Kelly, she is on top of the game, and definitely will keep coming back! Very professional and experienced! read more

My husband, my friends and I could not be happier with the services she provides from Botox to pre cancer checks to skin tag removal to photo facials, she is the best! read more

Kelly is incredible. My wife and I were referred by other family members who have been seeing Kelly for a very long time, and we could not be happier with our results each time we see her. She is so patient and caring and clearly wants whoever she is helping to be satisfied and happy with their results. My wife recently had dermal filler, and stated that it was the best she had ever had done. Kelly has helped me with numerous issues and has given me results I could not have imagined. We highly recommend Kelly for any and all of your needs! read more

Kelly Halloran is impeccable in her approach to both cosmetic and medical procedures. I've used Kelly for minor peels, Botox and skin checks for 10+ years. Recently I had a Portrait plasma resurfacing- a major procedure. She guided me through the process, provided exceptional post-care and the results are beautifu! I wouldn't trust anyone else with my skin. Highly recommend read more

I found Kelly by chance because I needed to have a biopsy done. I am so happy I found her ! She contacted me back right away and I was able to see her the next morning. Kelly talked to me about my area of concern and we decided to go ahead with the biopsy. She was gentle and "shook" my foot like a dentist does when they give you an injection ;) Kelly was also able to burn - freeze some spots on my face as well ! She was so careful and took her time to explain everything to me. I can't wait to go back and have an "essential" Blue Moon Facial. Thank you again Kelly ! read more

Other reviews describe Kelly as an artist and that is accurate. She is very careful to listen to you and does a very nice job of making you look better. She also doesn't oversell which I very much appreciate. She is happy to work with the minimum amount you'd like and she is very generous with her time. I've gone twice and felt great about it both times. read more

Kelly is a master and is a true artist at what she does. Her passion and knowledge is amazing! So blessed to have someone listen to your needs and wants. Kelly is honest, kind, smart and doesn't over do it on anything! You will leave feeling young, beautiful and glowing! You have to book an appointment with her! You'll be in safe and nurturing hands! read more

Kelly is extraordinary. Her passion for her clients' having glorious skin, her knowledge of procedures and products are beyond anyone I've ever experienced. I only wish I had begun spending time with her earlier. From now on, Oceana Dermatology/Kelly Halloran will be my skincare specialist in the San Diego area. read more

Kelly is first off an amazing artist with an artist's eye. I had a laser skin treatment from her that took at least 10 yeas of my appearance that has lasted for YEARS. I have had botox and fillers from her that look incredibly natural. People comment on how rested and less stressed I look. That's what you want. She has years of experience and listens to what look you want. I also took my daughter to have her skin treated by Kelly. I would never trust my skin and appearance to anyone else. I come from San Francisco to receive treatments from her. I trust her with my daughter. Enough said. If you want expert skin care by an expert professional with years of experience with an artist eye and heart who will help you to look your best, run, don't walk to see Kelly. You will be glad you did. read more
