"I have been coming to Contour Dermatology for a couple of years now and I can't recommend them enough! I see Jessica at the Loma Linda location for my Botox and Dysport, and she is truly one of the best. She is incredibly knowledgeable and knows exactly how to get the best results. The entire team at the Loma Linda office is so kind and professional. If you are looking for expert care and a great experience, this is the place to go!" read more

Dr. Jochen put waaaay too much filler in my check and it has serious damage. This was five years ago and I have tried many attempts to fix this very noticeable dent in my face. Now I have to pay a board certified plastic surgeon thousands of dollars to fix this. He did not offer me any compensation and I spent a lot of time off work going in. read more

I paid $5,000 for Botox and filler and the results were worse than doing nothing. After waiting 90 minutes, the doctor spent about five minutes with me total--including the injections--and did not evaluate my face beforehand. The Botox didn't work where it was supposed to and instead left my face uneven and distorted. When I raise my eyebrows, my expression looks bizarre and exaggerated. My smile lines look worse than before. The Botox in my jaw caused weeks of pain and bruising, and I still have difficulty chewing. The filler in my jawline left it sagging and heavier instead of more defined. It took several attempts to get a follow-up call scheduled, but the real issue was the dismissive attitude during that call. I was told that of the $5,000 I paid, only $1,000 was attributed to Botox--and that they would only consider refunding a portion of that. I still have not received any refund in any amount. At any price, this level of care and professionalism is unacceptable. read more

Dr. Jochen has truly been a godsend to me. The state of the art office, ( truly looks like a dream ) the Kindest staff who I feel so blessed to have caring for me. I honestly cannot express how grateful I am for the care I received from this brilliant doctor and everyone in the office. I want to thank them all for the care I received and especially being lucky and blessed enough to have the skin cancer removed and minimal scaring. The doctor and staff make this seem so easy. But they all gave me the greatest care and support. I will never be able to thank them enough. I feel truly blessed to be in their care read more

Kelly did a great job yesterday on my follow up appointment. Very kind and helpful care.

This is not a "medical" dermatologist office although they claim they are. Their service is poor, they make you wait as long as possible - hour or more to see a "doctor", PA or NP with a scheduled appointment. But the patient has a 15- minute grace period and then they'll tell you to reschedule even if you're 2 minutes late. If they cannot diagnose your skin issue, they continue to bill your insurance company until it turns into out of pocket with no results. Ultimately, you'll have to see another dermatologist to get better. If you require surgery for skin cancer be prepared to have a massive scare on your face or other parts of your body that you'll be told they can fix. This does not happen and you'll need to see a plastic surgeon. Good for LASER and Cosmetic related procedures if you have the money and the patience to put up with the above. But you will probably look like you had work done. read more

Tim is an amazing doctor and a good man. He has taken care of everything from skin cancer to laser peeling. I trust him implicitly.

Dr. Timothy Jochen and his staff are the best! Their offices are always pristine, plenty of parking available and easy to schedule appointments. Dr. Jochen and his staff are professional, courteous, friendly, and make you feel at home. I wouldn't go anywhere else! read more

I have been going to Dr. Jochen for 20 years. He and his team offer quality care, in pristine conditions, and are up to date on the latest in skin care and cosmetic procedures! Looking my best and practicing good skin care keeps me feeling young and vibrant! I believe he has a gift for cosmetic procedures! read more

Clean, attentive, modern, professional, convenient, and I'll be going back. :) Products for purchase as well. read more

Care quality was ongoing and excellent. I saw Dr. Jochen after care from another doctor at another location went on vacation after my initial visit. Dr. Jochen knew exactly what procedures were needed help me begin healing. As for his assistants who treated me along with Dr. Jochen to the front desk staff, I commend them and would encourage you use this practice for plastic surgery, to skin cancer to any other skin problems that may arise.

My husband Brian and I have been with Contour, Dr. Jochen and Staff since they first opened in La Quinta. We both have been extremely satisfied with the care we receive. Dr. Jochen performed MOHS on my husbands face and did a fantastic job. He see's Dr. Jochen or Elaine Woo every 6 months for skin cancer checks. Brian is my "poster boy" for Skin cancers but with this Team of Doctors we are blessed that they will catch any sign of cancer in time. As for myself I just get plain ol'giddy when it comes to their Day of Beauty specials. I love the Diamond Glo Facial and the discounts on esthetician services plus their skincare. Contour Dermatology is our trusted dermatology office!! read more

Excellent care very friendly atmosphere very clean Dr. Jose's very personable I am friendly very skilled. I feel very comfortable having him work, especially on my face. read more

The staff is really a fine run machine. My surgery was very well done, follow up care also very attentive. My appointments were timely with little waiting time. Don't be afraid to ask about added on products/services/fees to your procedure. Some things might be able to be eliminated (like skin care products etc.). Definitely suggest this office for your cosmetic and skin care needs both medically and cosmetically. read more

I have been a patient of Dr Jochen for nearly 10 years. He has remained on the cutting edge of procedures, medical equipment etc. far outshining his competition. His friendly yet professional approach is echoed by his well trained staff. Whether the procedure is medical or cosmetic, I am fully confident in Dr Jochen's skills and experience as I have had been treated for both issues. I highly recommend Dr Jochen for any dermatological needs! Wish there was an option for 10 stars! read more

I cannot recommend this doctor. He was cavalier, apparently didn't understand the device. I have nerve damage, asymmetrical results and scars. He did not move his stool from one side of my head to the other thus the intense damage to the left side of my face where he began. It was an inhumane experience. read more

I had some skin cancer on my face that the doctor treated. I am very pleased with the removal and repair.

Believe the bad reviews. Filler was just ok. Botox did NOT rid me of fine lines. Went for followup thinking they would make good on the $3,600 I spent. NOPE! Stupid me did not read fine print that it may not be successful. I have had Botox before that absolutely smoothed my wrinkles. Of course, tech girl basically told me it would cost more. Bye forever ripoff mill! Have stopped my family from going there and am alerting my many friends. read more

I recently had eye treatments done with Dr Jochen and the whole experience from my first visit for a consultation to follow up has been top notch. The staff was so friendly and knowledgeable. They made the whole experience personable, reassuring and effortless. Very happy with the results so far!​ read more

Dr Jochen is an incredible Doctor but the really wonderful part is how lovely the whole staff is - this is a true case of them being a terrific reflection of their boss read more

It has taken me a bit to write this review, but overall this company is one you should watch out for. I will share my story but know that I was so shaken up after my appointment that I had to have my partner come and get me as I could not see out of my eyes to drive home. I had an appointment on 2/20 at 8:15, checking in on time I sat in the waiting room for 45+ mins before I was taken back to get a picture taken of my face before the appointment. I was then taken back to a room to wait for yet another 25 mins where I asked for numbing cream for the filler I was going to get. Then I sat for another 25 mins before the "doctor" Timothy Jochen came in to see me. I asked if we could use a cannula to preform the filler as it caused less busing, he said ok and without any warning or explanation of what was going to happen he shot up both of my eyes. My eyes both filled with water and teared up as it was so rough I was caught completely off guard. I was shaken up and the attendant said are you ok, to which I responded that I have never been handled so roughly every in an office like this especially when dealing with anything close to the eyes. It is now 10:25, having spent over 2 hours at this office to be handled the way I was in unacceptable. The office called me and said we wanted to check up on you and that the "doctor" felt bad about how I left. I called back 4 times and left 4 messages only to never be called back again. Needless to say I will NEVER be back here, they do not care about you, they care about profits, their money and not about the care of the people who visit them. If you value your time, money, and any type of civility you will NOT go to this place. If there was an option for a 0 start I would have given them one. read more

Dr. J and his whole team make me feel comfortable, confident and beautiful every time I'm in the office. I've had a range of procedures done there from Fraxel to dysport. Dr. J and I both agree that it's not wrinkles that age your face as much as dark spots and uneven skin tone. That's why he advised me to use tretinoin cream to help improve the appearance of my fine lines and darks spots and Obagi Blender to lighten my Malasma. My skin's in the best condition it's ever been in! I've been told I look 10 years younger than I am. I couldn't bee happier! read more

Timothy M Jochen, MD - Dermatologists Near Me - Rancho Mirage, California

Dr. Jochen is an exceptional person whose practice reflects his values. I had difficulty with an injury being wrongly diagnosed as Cosmetic, spending 2 years in search of a proper evaluation. He immediately recognized it as a medical matter and arranged for surgical treatment within days. He is a superb surgeon as well as an extraordinary man. I can't thank him enough. read more

Moh's surgery on my nose for basel cell carcinoma. Everything was explained every step of the way and the surgery went better than expected. Difficult location by my nose/eye area. Well done, stitches out, very pleased. Could not be happier with the whole process so far. Excellent service and care! C read more

I had the pleasure of having Dr. Jochen do my cosmetic treatments and all I can say is I am truly blessed and so happy with his work! I have never done any cosmetic treatments before and was so scared and nervous but let me tell you Dr. Jochen and his whole team made me feel relaxed and comfortable. I would hear stories of getting injections done and how bad it would hurt but honestly it was so easy and and I wish I did this sooner! Now I feel confident and pretty and ready for my daughters wedding. Thank you Dr. Jochen and your amazing staff, you are all top notch and the truly BEST! read more

Tried to call to reschedule appt., waited and waited, no pick- up, left message to reschedule. No call back. Later called for a different day for skin cancer removal, reception said I have to pay $50.00 first before she can reschedule for skin surgery. She never got my message to reschedule. Very unorganized. I asked for my results so I can have the cancer removed at another Dermotologist office. She e-mailed a form that I completed and still haven't recieved my latest test result. Meanwhile, my small cancer lesion is growing larger. I guess they need to charge as much as possible to pay for all those commercials they air on local TV stations. read more

I told him that the holes in my ears had been ripped from a child pulling on my hoop earrings. I want the ear lobes fixed and the holes sewn together so I could-wear earrings again. I thought the doctor was rude and he asked the assistant how many more today? She told him 2 . He numbed my ears and just started cutting. I had a white sweater the back was full of blood that spattered and he never acknowledged the blood spattering on the sweater and on the side of my face. He finished took off his gloves left and told me nothing. I asked his assistant could i use the sink to clean my sweater with the soap and cold water and she gave me a plastic bag to go home. No after care instructions. I had white gauze and tape on my ear lobes when I left. I thought I had to wear them until the stitches came out???? I called to complain. An office manager he and I met for a meeting He later apologized and stated customer service is important to him. read more

3 months after my eye blepharoplasty and laser treatment. All I can say is WOW! My results are better than I imagined. Thank you Dr Jochen for such an amazing experience! read more

Timothy M Jochen, MD - 8 weeks after my procedure!!! - Dermatologists Near Me - Rancho Mirage, California

See all

Absolutely the best! I went here for not expecting to feel the way I do now. I recently experienced the worst acne breakout ever. I'm in my 40's and never experienced something this extreme. Emotionally messed me up. I was booked for an appointment the next day. Ty Will for making this so urgent. After that Will recommend that I see their aesthetician Lorena. Let me tell you she is absolutely the best. She was so reassuring and so understanding. Here I am 3 mths later and the antibiotics and monthly facials have turned my life around. Thank you to everyone who helped me get my self esteem back and make me feel amazing again. Many people suffer from acne and don't think it can be heeled. I'm here to tell you that Contour Dermatology can help you. I'm blessed to know that they will be a place that made me feel beautiful again read more

I love going to Contour Dermatology. Everything is so clean and beautiful! My favorite location is Rancho Mirage with the beautiful views. I always say I want to live there!! Dr. Jochen and his staff always make me feel so special and they always cater to my every need and mood. What I love just as much as their services is that Dr. Jochen always remembers me and greets me like I am part of the family. Aside of all of that Dr. Jochen and his staff have an excellent grasp on the science of beauty and aesthetics. I trust them wholeheartedly with my skin and face. read more

Timothy M Jochen, MD - Rose Grimes - Dermatologists Near Me - Rancho Mirage, California

I feel so cared for by this office. Their attention to detail, thoroughness, care, and the kindest personalities work at this beautiful office. This is an office where someone took every detail all in and took the upmost care in designing the waiting space. There is the calming sound of a trickling stream because there is a beautiful rock pool with running water at the entrance on the inside of this beautiful office. One of the first things I noticed was something that I very much appreciate-that all employees, and all patients, were wearing masks. I kid you not-this was a great detail to see-they even have three pen containers, labeling which pens were clean, and which ones had been used, so they are being as careful as anyone could possibly be to keep Covid from spreading. They have not one but two front desk people greeting and working there to help patients. They are also very astute at making sure all of your paperwork and details are updated in your chart. Everything that was pre-printed was already correct in my paperwork, and they were great to have me just add any details that transpired over the year to the paperwork. They even thought ahead of time to ask for credit card information in case you wanted to pay any balance over the phone. They have multiple televisions in the office detailing services they offer, which sparked my mind to add things to speak with the doctor. I even learned about sunburns and things that I did not know before, which is very important to everyone living in California (and especially the sun-soaked desert) as we are all outside all the time. I laughed out loud no less than three times at the occasional cartoons that would come up on the TV monitor while I waited-I LOVE this, and with everything going on right now, a lot of people need a good laugh. I am one of those people that has a list when I go to the doctor. Nurse Practitioner Jessica Arnold is the absolute best, she always makes sure we go over EVERYTHING on my list. She even asked if I would like to go first, saying "let's take care of your list first." This is no small feat, for I think I had nine questions on my list! Whenever I do exactly what they told me to do, whatever skin condition I was suffering from, heals up. Nurse Practitioner Jessica Arnold is truly wonderful and very genuine, she also always asks how am I doing. I know that the medical community has been exhausted, and changed probably forever, because of the pandemic. It is a breath of fresh air to go to a doctors office where they are EXCITED to help patients, are extremely good at what they do, and treat their patients with so much kindness. I feel like I've gone to meet my friends when I go there. I truly could not ask for more from his practice. Every time I have gone into this office, I have gotten the same respectful and kind demeanor and top level medical care. They also do take Medicare. This truly is the highest-class, most well-mannered and most polite office ever. As you can already guess, if anyone needs a dermatologist recommendation, this is where I am sending them. Lastly, I'm sure this list is not exhaustive, I am positive there are things I missed, so if you can think of something I missed, please add it, and stay safe everyone. read more

I have been seeing Elaine Woo-Gallagher NP for over ten years and have been extremely satisfied with her professionalism. Now am 72 and with very limited financial resources after being disabled for nearly forty years. However, doubt I will be returning. Had a semi-annual appointment today; and, after spending the night on the porcelain throne - possibly food poisoning or ? - I called to explain that I was too weak to come into the office plus in case it isn't a food related issue that I didn't want exposure either way and needed to reschedule. I was told there was a $50 charge for the cancellation - and Karina stated 'that's the rule.' This after enduring their new lengthy on line check in process that didn't allow to save anything and needed me to restart it four times to be able to complete it in one go-around. And, never mind the long commercial spiel for cosmetic services one is stuck listening to repeatedly while being waited to be put through to reception. What happened to pleasant music? Extremely disappointed in the profit over patient care pivot.... read more

Mahalo, Dr. Jochen and staff (Dr. Rabi,Kara, Victoria,Lee,Amber,Ali, Kelsey) for consistently providing the excellent care given to me as well as my family. The kind, caring attention is greatly appreciated and doesn't go unnoticed. Under gone many Mohs surgery procedures (latest one today) at contour dermatology and have always been very satisfied with the professionalism (and the snacks) and caring ways of each and everyone of you. A special shout out to Kara Crane for her amazing care during my Palm Springs/Rancho Mirage visits. You all deserve more than 5 stars - Victoria always calls back in a timely manner and appreciated the help with my Skyrizi prescriptions and being there for me!! A big Mahalo to all !! read more

Tim performed Strip hair transplant surgery on me 2 years ago. Everything I needed to know prior and after surgery was provided to me. So there were no surprises. Overall I'm happy with the results. Fast forward to today. I'm planning on speaking with Tim regarding a second surgery to give me a completely full head of hair. It's not uncommon for men to have several surgeries to obtain optimal results. So, the consultation is nothing out of the ordinary. If I'm deemed a good candidate for a second surgery I would opt for the Strip Method again as it has the highest success rate with over 90% of the transplanted grafts surviving. One other thing; Tim is very hands on and a really personable guy. He makes you feel comfortable from the moment you meet. This is a nice quality in a physician. read more

Glad to have found this place even if it's 1.5hrs away from home. 5+ stars to the front office staff. I believe i talked to Katelyn on the phone and when i got to my appointment, the girl who checked me in was a delight. Dr. Sawcer was great and addressed all my questions and definitely made me feel comfortable considering what i went in for. Overall clean and comfortable clinic. The staff was very nice. They didn't miss on greeting anyone in and out of the ops. read more

OMG had laser resurfacing done and what an amazing job was done. I was told what to expect, I told them I don't like pain and was a big baby and they made sure I was as comfortable as possible. Cannot say enough good things about this doctor. Also had eye lid surgery for the bags around my eyes and lip filler. Don't want to toot my own horn but I am looking pretty sexy again LOL.. Thank you DR Jochen read more

I recently wrote a one star review because of the length of my waiting time in a room (about 30 Minutes with no contact) and the number of nurses that see patients in lieu of the doctor. In the past I was very happy with his service. I am now writing to give Dr. Jochen a five star rating because his office contacted me and apologized and assured me they would review their service and make sure I saw an actual doctor the next time I visit. read more

I have been nervous for years to get filler. I am so happy that I had it done recently with Dr. Timothy Jochen at Contour Dermatology. The staff is so helpful and caring. You can tell that the entire team truly cares about the patient, their comfort level, and their outcomes. The positive energy is contagious. I cannot say enough positive things about Dr. Jochen... His assessment skills and recommendations are perfection. He makes you comfortable while injecting and the results are more than you could hope for. Always a natural result!!! I could not be more thankful!!!!!! read more
