I've had such a positive experience with Dr. Brittany Buhalog at Luminous Dermatology. One of the…read morefirst things that stood out to me was that I've been able to get in relatively quickly each time I've called, which has been a refreshing change from other offices where the wait can be months. Dr. Buhalog is incredibly kind, knowledgeable, and approachable. She takes the time to explain everything clearly and makes sure you feel comfortable and informed every step of the way. Her calm, collaborative style really puts you at ease, and you can tell she genuinely cares about her patients. I also really appreciate her expertise and attention to detail. Knowing she has such an impressive background in dermatology and Mohs surgery gives me a lot of confidence in the care I'm receiving. I'm so glad I found her and would highly recommend Dr. Buhalog to anyone looking for a skilled, thoughtful, and compassionate dermatologist.

I have been going to Luminous for many years and transitioned through their many doctors…read more Gladly, now we are extremely fortunate to have Dr. Lincoln. He clearly cares for his patients especially those who are accustomed to doctors take time, listen, and think through/ discuss options of the needed treatment plan. He is professional, caring, focused and intentional in solving YOUR routine and obscure dermatology conditions. He is so concerned and makes follow up calls checking in and verifying that you are well informed, know the care plan and assure you that he is available and how to get in touch with him after a procedure. All attributes of a "Real" doctor who are few and far between these days. PM

They are very professional and deliver excellent results. I've never been disappointed.read more

The dermatologists here are thorough and wonderful in their care here, however scheduling and their…read morefront desk is a nightmare. My daughter had seen Dr. Chan for a few years now and has had no issues with her treatments and care, but she was informed that she could no longer schedule appointments with Dr. Chan. My daughter cannot be seen as she did not schedule yearly appointments, which we were not informed that we had to do this for her to be considered an established patient as they are not accepting new patient intakes at this time. Be prepared to be met with hostility from their front desk if you call. Despite being a previous patient, my daughter was met with immediate rudeness before she had even spoke. A heads up or a phone call beforehand would have been appreciated to let us know that we would have to stop service with Dr. Chan. I cannot imagine how shocked other clients have been with this news.

Bad billing practices, MD can't see the forest through the trees…read more Aug 2025, routine visit. Told I am OBLIGATED to have credit card in database otherwise MD REFUSED to see me. I have both Aetna and Blue Shield of CA insurances and I am an existing patient. Told MD that in 2024 I was overcharged and did not want to enter credit card in database. Again, MD REFUSED to see me until credit card was entered into database. MD stated he had over $100,000 in unpaid receipts from 2024...not my problem. I had credit card entered into database and also paid by credit card in person after the visit. I was told to submit receipt to insurances for cost recovery. Less than 3 days post visit: two separate charges for same visit appeared on credit card. MD office overcharged me, as they did in 2024. Visa verified August 2025 overcharges. Neither MD 3rd party billing nor MD office had a record of their overcharge. I have now spent over 1 hour 30 minutes to rectify their error from a 15 min visit. Regardless of quality or continuity of care, alienating immediately-paying well-insured clients is not a sound business practice.

After not seeing Dr. Llewellyn for a few years and seeing the Evelyn, the PA (who has now left the…read morepractice, which I'd like to know why), I saw him 2 weeks ago. He didn't seem to have the least amount of interest in seeing me. For the follow up, he looked at my finger, which was the reason for my appointment. He said he didn't have any idea about my issue and told me to go to another doctor, then left the room. Usually when doctors can't help patients, they give you a referral to another doctor. He did not. Seemed to care less. Very disappointing. I'm not going back to him ever again. Also, there are no confirmations for any appointments, which is very unusual and disappointing.

Do WHATEVER IT TAKES to have this amazing woman be your dermatologist! As most of us know,…read moredermatological appointments generally need to be at least one month out, often two. New to the area, my daughter was graduating high school the Friday before Memorial Day. She had noticed a blemish on her skin several days earlier and we managed an appt elsewhere for early July. Then the blemish turned into a rash all over her chest and back. While I knew it wasn't life threatening, she was clearly upset and worried and anxious. Worse it was the morning of her special day, one she'd worked towards her whole life. A wonderful counselor at UCSB (where my daughter is now a rising freshman) recommended this place and I left a detailed message imploring them to make room for her same day, but I was not hopeful. And then a lovely young man (Kyle if I recall correctly) called me back and said we could come in! Wow!!! The facility is gorgeous, beautifully decorated in a clean, modern-meets-farmhouse style. We felt so welcomed and then met Dr. Klemperer and fell head over heels in love. She instantly put my daughter at ease and simultaneously made a nervous mother feel validated in some minor hovering and we left a half hour later happy campers. On to watching our calm daughter graduate with Honors!! And how exciting to have found our forever dermatologist! Thank you Dr. Klemperer...

The receptionist was extremely condescending and said "some people think they're booking an appointment when they haven't". She got really quiet when I told her that I am also a doctor and understand how to make an appointment. I moved to Santa Barbara last year and can say that I have never lived somewhere with such poor medical care. It is truly shocking to me how an affluent, seemingly urban area is so underserved. Hopefully, the doctors in this practice will read this and hire someone to better train their staff.
