Following the removal of my melanoma (skin cancer) in 2015 I was looking for a dermatologist for my…read moreannual check-ups/exams. I was going to make it something I did when I visited my family in Washington State, however, the doctor I tried just kind of looked at me with a shocked look when she read my chart and found out I was in my early 20s and had already had cancer removed. That is not the only troubling thing I have run into since I had cancer. Some of the more religious Christians I have met in my life, have told me that immunity to cancer it simple, just hope one does not get it. If hope were immune, I would not have gotten cancer in the first place. Fortunately, Dr. Camilla McCalmont is a doctor who accepts reality and that while skin cancer may be fought off once it can return. I lived in Albany when I visited Dr. McCalmont and I loved the location of her office. The building had its own parking area, it was conveniently located not too far from the El Cerrito Shopping Plaza, and I did not encounter traffic on the short drive to the office. She and her workers were professional and helpful in setting up the appointment and getting the paperwork figured out. She emphasized the importance of annual check-ups and self exams, urging not being afraid to inspect oneself and help catch potentially cancerous spots early on. Nothing came up of concern on my visit, which was a huge relief. I have since returned to living in Washington State, but was happy with my experience with Dr. Camilla McCalmont and her office.

I was referred to Dr. Homa by my primary care physician, and I consider myself incredibly fortunate…read moreto be under his care. I suffer from what's often considered the most painful skin condition (you can google it), along with a few other chronic skin issues. Over the years, I've seen dozens of dermatologists, but Dr. Homa is the only one who has truly made a positive difference, not just in my treatment, but in my overall well-being. He is knowledgeable, professional, and genuinely affable. He stays current with the latest research and treatment options, discussing newly approved medications with me, including their pros, cons, and side effects--then letting me decide how I'd like to proceed. I always feel comfortable asking questions and never feel rushed during appointments. Dr. Homa has also identified issues that my previous dermatologist overlooked, even performing minor surgical procedures to address them. Living with a painful, inflammatory skin disease means dealing with constant discomfort but thanks to Dr. Homa, I'm finally able to live comfortably again. I also want to recognize his amazing medical assistants like Jen, and the front office staff, Christina. They are consistently friendly, efficient, and professional. I'm always seen on time and scheduled for my next appointment before I leave. I appreciate the text reminders, and when an insurance issue came up, they were already working behind the scenes to resolve it before I even had to follow up. Any prescriptions I need are already in process at my pharmacy within a few minutes after my appointment. I'll admit I've always been somewhat jaded and cynical toward doctors, often finding them aloof, transactional, or in the pocket of a pharmaceutical company. But Dr. Homa has completely changed my perspective; he's proof that some doctors truly care about their patients and are deeply committed to their service to others.

Urgent care docs said I needed to see a dermatologist to evaluate whether i needed long-term antibiotics to deal with bacterial colonization (?!), and I was excited to see someone who could help me with the scarring and hyperpigmentation caused by the infection, which has been so embarrassing. I was really looking forward to getting help! But I've honestly never been to a less interested doctor than Dr. Fisk; she seemingly could not care less. i mentioned the recurrent infections and she said "well, good thing it's cleared up." and nothing more; she made me feel like it was silly to keep talking about it. And then I asked about the scarring and hyperpigmentation and she said, "Hmm, I'm not sure there's anything that can be done about that." And then she just stared at me blankly and said, "Is there anything else we can do for you?" FYI, I'm now seeing a different doctor and there's so much that can be done to help! I don't know why she would say that! And then to add insult to injury, it then turned out that they were wrong about being in network and so i had to pay $170 for this horrible 5-minute visit. I know doctors have off days but, just, why do this job if you don't care about people & their problems?!

Found Dr. Fang's office through my network's provider search, but was a bit hesitant due to some of the negative Yelp reviews. Dr. Fang's office however was very close to where I live. And located right outside El Cerrito Plaza, just past JoAnn's, free parking is readily available in the plaza, and I just had to walk over. As it turned out, my concern was baseless, as Dr Fang was not only extremely kind, but listened and addressed all of my concerns, made recommendations and gave treatment options that I felt comfortable with, and left me feeling much more educated about my body in general. In fact, far more than my previous dermatologist, or any of my prior primary care physicians ever did, combined, regarding the same issues. So ecstatic that I was able to find such a great dermatologist nearby. And one whom I plan to continue seeing for as long as I live here!

She is a wonderful and knowledgable doctor. She is always helpful and I really appreciate her calm bedside manner. She has even treated my son with patience, care and understanding of his skin issues. When I came in to the office for my appointment, there was a man behind the desk (whom I've never seen before) announcing loudly for all to hear that he is the "office manager" and spoke to the other receptionists and other patients, including elderly patients with a very rude and condescending tone! Then I called the office a month later regarding my insurance and my routine appointment. I had a question regarding treatment and I recognized the same voice that I heard when I came in for my appointment. He unfortunately was the same rude and condescending person and then he became accusatory with me over the phone. He was saying that I was asking him to change my chart, commit fraud and that I would cause my doctors' license to be revoked. AND she wouldn't be able to practice medicine! He said it again even more aggressively than the first time. WHAT?! Who says that?! Umm... I had a question about my treatment and the description of the code claims according to my visit. Including my co-pay there was an expensive $195 add-on to my invoice by the office and I didn't know what it meant. I was told to call the office for clarification by my provider and the billing department of Golden State Dermatology. I didn't think a basic conversation would turn into a hostile one, causing me to feel upset for asking legitimate questions, which is part of his job, being an "office manager." I mentioned I would try and reach out to the doctor, when he became even more defensive. I have never in my life, been spoken to in that manner by a professional doctor's office. I was in tears when I called the billing department for the third time. After almost 2 hours of dealing with this mess, they were really helpful, listened and answered all of my questions. Thank goodness! I'm having serious thoughts of moving on to a new doctor. I don't want to engage with an "office manager" that treats his fellow employees with self-entitlement and disrespecting patients by belittling them publicly or by phone.

I also like the staff at the Hercules office - the folks at the front desk, the billing department, and the med techs. Again, very friendly. Highly recommended.

I have been seeing Dr. Krasnoff for many years and cannot say enough about what a wonderful,…read morethorough, and caring physician she is. She has found and removed several skin cancers from my body and face and I have limited to no visible scars. She found a small spot on my shoulder that I hadn't even noticed - just a light red spec which she thought didn't look right. Following the biopsy, it was determined to be a melanoma. She immediately scheduled me for a follow-up appointment to remove the entire cancer before it could spread. Now my entire family sees Dr. Krasnoff. The entire office staff are also amazing and quite helpful. I have had several facials there and my skin always looks amazing when I leave and for days afterward. I cannot recommend Dr. Krasnoff and her staff more highly!
