    I checked Yelp, and it seems my review isn't posted anymore and may have been taken down, so I am…read morereposting my review here: I began seeing Rebecca in January 2026 for treatment of warts on my hands and feet. From the beginning, she repeatedly insisted they were not warts, despite my concerns and prior experience with them. During my second appointment, I also mentioned new bumps on my lips that I believed were warts. Rebecca dismissed them as normal lip bumps or possible cold sores, even after I explained I had never experienced them before. A biopsy was eventually performed, which confirmed that the bumps were in fact warts. Unfortunately, after the diagnosis was confirmed, I still felt that my treatment plan was inadequate and that my concerns were not being taken seriously. I also felt there was a lack of experience and knowledge regarding proper wart treatment and medication management. Because of this experience, I decided to transfer my care to another dermatologist. As a patient, it was concerning to feel unheard and uncertain about the guidance I was receiving, and I would not recommend Rebecca based on my experience.

She came in and looked at me from about a foot away. She had the magnifer thing in her hand but didn't use it even when I asked for a confirmation of a couple concerns on my back. For a full body scan she literally spent about 3 minutes scanning me with her eyes and not moving around to see all areas. Didn't realize until after talking to multiple friends that's not how these full body scan appointments are supposed to go!

Realized the day of appointment confused my appointment time with be early time, called 1 hour ahead to say would be 10 min late. Was within that timeframe, but made to sit for 45 min. Thought okay, doctor will still see me. When nurse came to get me was handed a note stating you were late we will try to see you but can't promise to address everything. During appointment felt rushed, superficial, and when asked about minor skin issue was told heck no, you need cosmetic surgeon for something I had frozen off before since childhood. This doctor has an elitist manner that does not belong anywhere around treating people. Do not see her and do not use Sutter Health which employs her. The reviews here reflect how she treats patients with no respect. Since I write this review, I expect Sutter bot will make some statement asking me to complete a survey. Well I have worked within Sutter before where a complaint will be brought up during a meeting and never be thought of again since no one died. Separately - please shop around for dermatologist. Be very straight in asking for a treatment plan, in writing, and making doctor accountable for treatments that go nowhere. Take control of your health and your body will thank you for it!

My consultation was with Dr. Scott Chiang regarding several skin concerns. He explained all the different options and the pros and cons of each. For example, he explained there is a higher risk of PIH after fraxel with Asian skin. In the end, I decided to have a few small bumps (about 4-5) on my face removed via laser. If I did it that day, my consultation fee would go towards the cost of the procedure. The procedure took about 5-10 minutes and with each zap, Dr. Chiang would say, "that one's gone". The procedure was painless and with the after care instructions, everything healed in about 5 days with no scabbing. The bumps are gone and my face is smooth. Dr. Chiang referred me to an esthetician, Dana Schrieber, for my other skin concerns. Dana was also fantastic. On my first visit I spent about 45 minutes with her. She went over all the different options, and even let me see some of her own personal pictures from her own skincare journey. In the end, we decided to try the Obagi skincare system. She said I can email her anytime, and I'll have another check in with her in about a month. The price for the Obagi products through Kaiser is pretty much the same as the online price. I know there are online esthetician services, but it's nice to have someone I can see in real life taking care of my skin.
