I first…read morecame in with active acne, dark marks, and scarring, and from the beginning I felt genuinely cared for. Every provider here is wonderful I don't recommend one specific doctor because they are all amazing. My treatment plan was very thorough and thoughtful. We started with oral medications, skincare routines, and facials, and my doctor took the time to try different oral options to see what worked best for my skin instead of rushing the process. Once my acne was under control, I moved on to laser treatments to help with scarring and pigmentation, and the improvement has been life changing. This place truly feels like a second home. Every single provider I've seen has been kind, patient, and knowledgeable, and you can tell they genuinely want the best results for their patients. I also want to give a special shoutout to Marisol at the front desk, she is honestly the reason I love coming in. She is so patient, welcoming, and kind, and she always makes my day better the moment I walk in. Little things like that matter so much. They even have snacks and drinks, which just adds to how comfortable and welcoming the environment feels. I've attached my before and after photos because the results speak for themselves. I'm so grateful for this office and everyone who works here.

We spent over 30 minutes on the phone and he calmed my nerves down about this weird, itchy bug bite that won't heal. He is a zero alarmist doctor and he does not take advantage of his patients. He did not charge me for the call, again I'm amazed. His sense of humor put me at ease and I can tell he really cares about his patients & paying it forward. This review is the least I could do for the peace of mind he gave me. I am so glad I made the call and look forward to meeting Dr. Lauber over a sandwich and pickle (inside joke).

Prep and wait time was longer than the whole procedure and Dr. Z made sure that I was comfortable and protected through the whole process.

Hard to see the trolls here as I know everyone has their own perspective but he has an incredible manner and would help you in whatever way that he can. He gave me excellent counsel about my upcoming knee procedure and I made changes to my plan that made me feel more comfortable moving forward. I also have gained self confidence since recieving my skincare and the insecurities that used to trouble me are no longer with me. I feel good about the way I look and who I am. He is very skilled about blending improved health with a positive outlook. These days where there are so many options for medical care it's important to find a doctor who takes the time to get to know you. He is the kindest doctor that I have know and I will be a lifetime patient. Thank you Dr. Z,

Five stars almost doesn't feel like enough…read more There is something happening in medicine that I don't think most patients fully realize. More and more medical practices are becoming larger, more corporate and increasingly driven by efficiency, volume and economics. Somewhere along the way, the relationship between a medical professional and a patient can start to feel secondary. South Coast Dermatology Institute is one of those places that reminds you what medicine should still feel like. I originally came here because of Dr. Vince Afsahi, and I have tremendous respect for him. He was always incredibly good to me. I haven't seen him personally in years, though, and strangely, that may be one of the greatest compliments I can give this practice. I now see Selise James and never find myself thinking that I wish I were seeing Dr. Afsahi instead, or that I am somehow getting a different level of care because I am not seeing the founder or "top" doctor. Selise is exceptional. That tells me this isn't about one great physician. It is the culture of the entire practice. Today gave me one of the best examples of that. I had Selise look at a spot on the bottom of my foot that had been there for months. It had an unusual shape, and when she first looked at it, she was genuinely concerned. She examined it carefully with a magnifying lens, took her time with it, and then grabbed a cotton swab, soaked it in cleaning solution and wiped the spot away. Yes, it was dirt. I was embarrassed, but in the best possible way. We both started laughing, and what struck me was how relieved she was. She told me she loves when something like that happens. I know that sounds like a small thing, but it stayed with me. It is actually pretty rare to find people who genuinely celebrate the good outcome with you instead of simply moving on to the next patient. She was happy that there was nothing wrong with me, and you could tell it was real. That interaction captures what is different about this place. They will actually sit with you and have a conversation before they start doing anything. They listen, explain things, ask questions and make you feel like a person instead of an appointment. That has become incredibly rare. The rest of the practice is equally strong. The staff is efficient, organized and genuinely nice. They clearly stay current with technology, not just in the clinical side of dermatology but even in the way appointments and communication are handled. Everyone I have dealt with has been experienced, knowledgeable and professional. My skin test came back clear today, which obviously was great news. But I also walked out feeling a little better about the world than I did when I walked in. I had been down on how much things have changed and how impersonal so many parts of medicine have become. This visit reminded me that there are still people who care deeply about doing things the right way and who haven't lost the human side of medicine. That is why I think South Coast Dermatology Institute is best in class. You expect expertise. You expect good technology. You expect competent medical care. What you don't always expect anymore is to leave feeling genuinely cared for, and maybe even feeling a little better about people. That is what this place does.

Before coming to NCD, I went to a med spa whose facials completely damaged my skin.
