Dr. Lin is the most thorough and skilled dermatologist I've ever had. She checks rechecks my sun damaged skin every few months.

I can't recommend Dr. Shimomaye at DMG enough! During my skin exam, she found a basal cell carcinoma that I never would have suspected. She performed the biopsy, confirmed the diagnosis, and removed it with great care. I'm incredibly grateful for her thoroughness and expertise. She's also kind, takes the time to answer questions, and is genuinely a pleasure to talk to. I always feel like I'm in excellent hands. If you're looking for a skilled, caring dermatologist, I highly recommend Dr. Shimomaye. read more

The entire staff is very friendly,competent, and professional. I was in very good hands.

As a new patient I was surprised by Dr. Lin's terrible bedside manner. Not only was she 30 minutes late to my appointment time, but she jumped straight to wanting to biopsy my skin, telling me it would leave a scar and not walking me through her thought process or providing any options. I won't be back.. read more

First class experience having Moh's surgery! Thank you Dr Werbel and your kind assistants! For all skin issues visit this group, thorough, experienced and kind! read more

With both melanoma and squamous cell skin cancers diagnosed and treated here, I can say that I'm very satisfied with the treatment I've received at DMG of North County. I really appreciate the treatment by Dr. Susan Shimomaye here in Encinitas and the melanoma diagnosis by Dr. Alina Goldenberg in Del Mar. The office staff in the Encinitas office in particular have been very helpful. read more

I had an unfortunate experience with Derm Medical Group - Encinitas. During a visit, Dr. D incorrectly diagnosed me for a disease (I received a second opinion which confirmed nothing major). It's unfortunate that a Doctor would gamble on a diagnosis. Dr D. also did not offer any additional guidance following his incorrect claim, leaving me in a state of uncertainty. With matters related to the skin and the serious diseases associated, you would hope a doctor you're spending time/money seeing would provide the courtesy of properly diagnosing their patients. read more

Everyone is very professional. Everything is explained and the staff is very courteous

Dr Edelman is professional with an excellent understanding of a patient's needs. I know I'm in good hands when treated by her expertise.

Every time I have been here, the wait time is beyond reasonable. The staff do not seem to know what they are doing. Will never go back.

Dr Krishna is an excellent dermatologist! I trust her professional opinion. She has never done a procedure that wasn't warranted for my skin health. Being a freckled faced, fair skin person requires going to a dermatologist that is trustworthy. Dr Krishna and her staff provide a calm environment. Thank you, ~Suzie Abels San Marcos,CA read more

I really like Dr. Jackson. She is very personable and takes her time with my concerns.

Great Dermatologists here. I've been a patient for decades and get great screening and care. They're the best.

I had a great experience at the DMG of North County today. Dr. Jackson was extremely gentle and thorough with her examination and she had great recommendations on future treatments that I will do. I really appreciated how friendly and professional she was. Also, I was checked in and out quickly by the great front desk staff. read more

Friendly staff at check-in. On time with their schedule. Dr Jackson was communicative and efficient during my annual skin check up appointment. In and out in about 25 min from check-in to check-out. Plenty of parking in front and back of the building. They are located off the rear entrance so if you park in back you are right there. If you park in front it's just a straight walk through the building lobby to their suite 108. read more

Our second visit with Melissa Janovitch, PA, was just as rushed as the first visit. They also claimed that a voice-mail message was left by the nurse regarding questions regarding a pharmacist after labs were completed, but no message was left. Still waiting on whether or not a prescription was filled on their end through our pharmacy after they had already said it was, but we have not received a call from pharmacy. I will have to contact DMG, again, on Monday. Communication on their end is definitely lacking. read more

My experience with the entire staff has been great. I checked with my insurance company and DMG is in my network but I had no experience or referral to them. I have been extremely pleased with my interaction with the entire staff. My NP Naomi Travers is extremely professional and thorough. My surgeon Dr. Shimomaye is very professional, kind and an excellent surgeon. While I am not happy having a melabonus, I could not be more pleased with the treatment I have and continue to receive from this office of DMG of North County! read more

Charged my insurance for a cosmetic visit that I was told wouldn't be covered by insurance, without letting me know. I didn't find out until I got my hefty co-pay bill by my insurance company which I'm currently disputing because the office refuses to fix it. So they double-dipped getting cash from me and the insurance company. Their logic for charging my insurance is that the practitioner (Melissa) answered a question I had about skin and volunteered to write me a prescription for it that I didn't even ask for as I was re-dressing from my cosmetic procedure. A prescription I never even picked up. Most expensive question I've ever asked in my life. Shame on this place for lining their pockets this way. Not to mention, I got an infection which has now left a scar after my cosmetic procedure because they didn't bother to give me any post procedure directions. I would say don't get seen by Melissa but the office manager and charge nurse are complicit as well. Avoid this office completely. read more

I've been seeing Dr. Jackson at DMG of North County for about 5 years. Usually just for an annual skin cancer screen and freezing of any new spots in my skin. Dr. Jackson is a great dermatologist who always greets with me a smile. She listens carefully and fully explains what she is doing and why. I've always been seen within 5 minutes of my scheduled appointment. Highly recommend this practice for any dermatology issue and especially Dr. Jackson. read more

I've been a patient at Dermotologist Medical Group for over 15 years. I've had nothing but outstanding care the entire time I've been with them. When my original dermatologist retired, they worked with me to identify a new provider that dealt with my specific dermatological issue. The doctors are always on time, well prepared, and caring. The other benefit is they really know their stuff the nurses another stuff . The nurses and other staff in both the Encinitas in Carmel Valley offices are friendly and helpful. All in all I would give this practice an A+ read more
