Dr. Liu is a professor at UCSD and is an MD and PhD. She did her undergrad training at Princeton, so she is the same caliber of physician I was looking for. She is very knowledgeable and professional and took care of several issues I needed addressed. There is often a wait for an appointment, but the office will put you on a waiting list to take the appointments of cancellations, and they actually do call you to come in sooner.

I had an appointment with this doctor for my Eczema scars. I informed her that I already had a…read moretest with my allergist regarding the reason for the rashes and I have creams for the itching. I made this appointment for the scars. She insisted that I get a skin patch test to make sure the test were correct. Oh and nobody ever called me regarding the result of my test from their office, I had to find out from my allergist about the result letter that they sent to her. My allergist told me that the test had inconclusive result so I did the test for nothing. Since that appointment I received 3 bills from them even after I already paid during my appointment. I paid the second bill which was over a hundred and now I'm still receiving more bills for over $200. And after calling them they said I still have an outstanding balance. That appointment was a waste of time and money, and I now have a scar where she took skin off, in addition to the scars I made the appointment for which she didn't take care of. I felt that she just did the test to get paid. Never going back to this dermatologist.

I have been a patient of Dr. Alice Liu for approximately 15 years, and I cannot say enough good…read morethings about her. San Diego is extremely fortunate to have a dermatologist of her caliber, and I feel very fortunate to have her as my dermatologist. Dr. Liu is an exceptionally talented physician and surgeon. I have had two Mohs surgeries performed by her on my face. For those unfamiliar with Mohs surgery, it is a highly specialized technique used to remove skin cancer while preserving as much healthy tissue as possible. The tissue is examined microscopically during the procedure to make sure the cancer has been completely removed. One of my cancers required a fairly significant amount of tissue to be removed from my cheek. After Dr. Liu finished, you could barely tell anything had ever been done. The other was directly above my left nostril, where removing a significant amount of tissue could easily have affected the appearance and shape of my nose. Dr. Liu did what I can only describe as a magician's job. She removed the cancer while preserving the appearance of my nose. The cosmetic result was remarkable. Her credentials are equally impressive. Dr. Liu graduated from Princeton University and earned both her M.D. and Ph.D. from Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine. She completed her dermatology residency at UCLA and is board-certified in both dermatology and Micrographic Dermatologic Surgery. She is also a Fellow of the American Society for Mohs Surgery and has repeatedly been selected by her physician peers as one of San Diego's Top Doctors. As impressive as her credentials are, she is also kind, personable, caring, and easy to talk to. I have trusted her with my skin and, quite literally, my face for about 15 years. Excellent doctors are often busy, and Dr. Liu is absolutely worth the wait. I would recommend her without hesitation. I feel incredibly lucky to have her as my dermatologist.

I chose Coastal Pacific Dermatology after reading solid Google reviews--wanted the best care for my…read more15-year-old daughter's eczema and white spots. I skipped insurance to get in faster, paid out-of-pocket, and was told upfront the consult would run $150-$350. Fine. In the exam room, the doctor said she'd need a biopsy--asked again about cost, got "no more than $350." I agreed. Then came the surprise: hours later, they called to add $75 for lab work--never mentioned before. Still, I paid; I just wanted answers. Three weeks passed. No call. I chased them--first week, "it'll take time"; second week, same. Finally got results last Friday. Nothing since. Called Tuesday to follow up--turns out they hadn't even looked at them. Wanted another full visit just to discuss. After I said how frustrating this was--waiting, hidden fees, zero follow-through--they emailed tonight: a polite 'goodbye' claiming they tried everything--while admitting they never even reviewed her results until I called. They say follow-up is 'standard,' but apparently not when you're the one waiting. I get that clinics need to run, but this felt like money came first--every step. If this is their idea of care, I'd rather find someone who actually listens--before charging you to do it. If you're looking for real help, not just a bill, maybe think twice before going to Coastal Pacific Dermatology

I was disappointed with our experience at Coastal Pacific Dermatology. My daughter had a…read moreconsultation with the physician, and when completing the patient intake form, she listed acne as her primary concern. Unfortunately, it felt like the appointment focused only on that single issue rather than evaluating her overall skin health and listening to any additional concerns she may have had. I understand that providers often begin with the reason listed on the form, but I expected a more comprehensive, patient-centered approach. The visit felt rushed and narrowly focused, leaving us feeling unheard and disappointed. We were hoping for a dermatologist who would look at the patient as a whole, not just the specific condition written on the paperwork.
