I saw Erik when he was with a different medical group (who I won't name). I developed a severe skin condition and was referred to him by my primary physician. When I walked in, he immediately knew what I had and got me started on some serious meds right away. Not wanting me on these medications long-term, he started me on a biologic, and he fought my insurance for over a year when they denied what he prescribed. He also ensured I had plenty of samples of this (expensive) medication while we continued to appeal. This was a lifesaver for me since my condition was so bad I could hardly walk, and this biologic gave me life back. When he left the practice, the mismanagement at this office just got worse. This place was a cattle call, and the new doctor couldn't keep up. They overscheduled patients to the point where waiting times grew to over an hour, and people were lined up in the hallway. It was obvious he was the one holding the place together. I'm now seeing a new physician, but I am grateful to Erik for the care he provided to me while at the other practice. I wish I could have moved with him to this location, but unfortunately, it's not in my provider network. I wish him all the best and would definitely recommend him. read more

My daughter has been seeing Erik since she was about 3. She's a teen now and still sees him for her eczema. She feels like he listens to her concerns. She is happy with him. read more

He found a melanoma on my shoulder and saved my life. What else does one need to know?

After reading the reviews I decided to make an appointment for both my kids as they were having acne issues. He spent a total of 3 minutes with each and subscribed antibiotics. Total cookie-cutter treatment even though each child had different issues. Waste of money. read more

Erik Sorensen is a great dermatologist! I've been to so many doctors dealing with my acne off and on. He was very patient and attentive to me. I never felt rushed during the appointments or as if I was just a number. He took all of my questions and concerns seriously and would explain all of my options in detail. If you are struggling with acne I highly recommend seeing him! Thank you Erik Sorenson!! read more

Dr Erik, Is the best doctor ever! Not only does he have an amazing bedside manner, he listens and his follow up is phenomenal. I email him questions I have and he answers them in a very timely manner. Not only do I feel like I've been cared for in a kind and professional manner,but I am seeing results. Thank you Dr Erik you are the best! read more

This experience was terrible. It took me a long time to get over my fear of going to a dermatologist and talk about my melasma and vertical wrinkles between my eyebrows. I made an appointment over the phone, and shared exactly what I was looking for. When I came into the office, and saw the doctor he spoke about the melasma, within 15 minutes he was walking out from the examination room, and I mention I had more questions. He quickly walked out and said I need it to speak to another doctor regarding the vertical wrinkles. I shared with the CNA I was very confused on what was happening since I was very clear on the phone and the form you fill out in the from what my questions were. She walked me to the counter not knowing what to say to me and the front desk person say "its $125.00" I am still beyond shocked! There was no notice of fee for consultation, over the phone nor when I filled out the paperwork before the appointment, I was told over the phone there was no consultation fee my questions were NEVER answer, NOTHING was addressed, and I paid $125. The only comment they mention was "Its usually $150, and we are giving you a discount" I will never recommend this place, if you go ASK FOR THEIR FEE'S AND CONSULTATION TIME ALONG WITH THE QUESTIONS YOU NEED ANSWER! read more

I went to him a long time ago (maybe 2016 or 2017?). He was very kind, was a great listener, had laid back energy, and was very respectful. He addressed every one of my concerns very professionally. He was fantastic! Highly recommend! read more

Five stars all day for Dr. Erik Sorenson!! My first visit I was pretty much in tears with frustration bc of my condition that I chose to keep neglecting bc of the lame care and unsuccessful treatments from other doctors. With that being said, I've been coming to Erik for a couple of months now and have never gotten this kind of progress from anyone else. He knows what he's talking about! Even if he can't give you an answer that you want, he will listen to your concerns and walk you through your best options for clear results. You get that he actually wants you to get better!! Thank you!!! read more

If I could give 10 stars I would! Erik Sorenson is the BEST PA I've had. I've struggled with acne my entire life and been to countless dermatologists who prescribed cream after cream and wash after wash with no results. After a couple visits with Erik I decided to go on accutane and couldn't be happier with the results. Erik was there literally every step of the way with a solution to all my symptoms including dryness and sun reactions as well as making sure my bloodwork was completed within the 7 day window and my pills were sent to me via priority mail. His bedside manner was the best I've had. Truly a world class PA so do yourself a favor and go see him for all your skin needs! Thank you Erik!!! read more

I Had a small precancerous spot removed 1yr ago, NOW the reason for my late post is, I took my grandson last week he has severe acne and Erik made him feel very comfortable (his words) showed compassion for our no Insurance situation, overall I like his approach since my first visit. We will continue to make appointment with him in the future for SURE. read more

I came to Erik based on the Yelp reviews and I can confirm that the hype about him is real. When I first got to his office, I filled out some paperwork and was seen right away. I didn't have to wait to be seen which was really nice. His staff are all really nice and friendly. You can tell that Erik really wants to help people. I came to him with some issues and he treated me right then and there and I could not be happier with my results. He has a really friendly and warm bedside manner and he's not bad to look at either. He is the best, hands down. read more

I've been a loyal patient of Erik Sorenson since I was referred to him back when I was in High School. At 17 years old, I was diagnosed with severe acne, and I even had cysts on my face. My self-esteem suffered and would rarely leave my home. I tried every over the counter remedy I could try. The Doc was the only one that helped me get it under control. Over the years he's improved my skin to such a level that people think I'm ten years younger than I am. I'm 32 years old now, and I haven't missed an appointment with Dr. Sorenson in 15 years. I continue to see him for whatever skin issues I have, and he always assesses my situation and comes up with the best plan. He's helped me with my severe acne problems, burn scars, benign growths, and even looking younger. I'm convinced that there isn't a problem that he can't handle, and for a reasonable price too. read more

Having been a patient of a few dermatologists over the years, I can say that Erik is the best. If you are looking for knowledge, skill, a caring attitude, and wisdom, Erik has it. My wife, daughter, and I see him for both our preventative needs and cosmetic needs. If I have a questionable spot on my skin, Erik immediately knows whether it is a concern or not and then offers options on fixing my problem. The great thing about Erik, he doesn't expect you to be a mind reader. He understands that his patients may not be familiar with the side effects or the healing process of certain treatments and explains these thoroughly. When my daughter had acne, he worked with her and her face cleared up and now has beautiful skin. When she had a flare up, he was there to recommend a solution, which worked! read more

Dr. Sorenson was extremely helpful and professional and his staff was amazing. I showed up to my appointment and it was my first time. The receptionist had me fill out some quick paper work and I was seen right away. I would recommend Dr. Sorenson to any first time patients or really anyone looking for a great dermatologist. read more

Very professional. Not in the business to make money off of you if you don't have insurance but in the business to make sure you are healthy and happy. Glad I came here. Made a same day appointment, which some dermatologists have a 2 month wait for new patients. Prices are very reasonable with no insurance. Knowledgeable, friendy, and affordable! read more

My sister referred me to see pa Erik sorenson for my acne problems . I was a little skeptical because I have seen so many dermatologist and was prescribed so many creams and spend a lot of money but it didn't work . Dr sorenson answered all my questions and concerns . He give me samples of different creams to try on before spending hundreds of dollars on the cream that doesn't work . Thank you doc!!! read more

He is so great! He gave me the best and affortable treatment for my sun spots. He also treated my daughters with their acne problem.

Erik Sorenson is not a dermatologist or a doctor - he is a physicians assistant who is authorized to perform some dermatological procedures by the dermatologists at Beach Cities Dermatology. I have been to several doctors since I was operated on by Erik Sorenson (who I addressed as doctor many times and was never corrected) who have expressed shock at the track marks caused by poor surgical technique (in their words). I was also not made aware of surgical options that would have likely reduced scarring in a sensitive area. I think of Sorenson most days when I look in the mirror and it is unacceptable that patients continue to mistake him for a doctor. read more

Awesome experience and scheduling was very easy to work with. Erik lists options along with positive and negative aspects of various treatments and screening. Super informative and casual visits. I am happy to refer Erik. Also, parking is free and easy on the street. read more

I have been seeing Dr Sorenson for over ten years. I have been to several dermatologists and he is by far the best. He makes me feel comfortable. I trust all his decisions on the treatment that he suggests for me. His office is clean and inviting and his staff is personable as well as professional. I highly recommend Erik Sorenson for all of your skin care needs whether it is for medical reasons or cosmetic needs, he is certainly the man to see! read more

I travel almost a half hour to see Erik Sorenson. A few years ago I developed a skin condition on my face that no one could figure out. I went from having almost perfect skin to the polar opposite. I went to dermatologist after dermatologist that seemed to never listen and put my skin in a state that was worse than we began. I was given multiple lotions and potions that were not only expensive but ineffective. I felt hopeless and came to terms that I would have to live like that for the rest of my life until I met Erik Sorenson. We started from square one. He took his time a really listened to my concerns. We started on a treatment plan than started to work. I had a few hurdles to overcome but at everything turn he was there tweaking the regimen. To date my skin is almost 99% back to normal. Although I don't see him now on a weekly/ monthly basis he still goes out of his way to follow up with me almost monthly to make sure my skin is still on track. If you want someone who will get down to the root of your skin issue and not stop until a solution is found I urge you to make an appointment. *Marissa I read more

I have been seeing Dr. Erik Sorenson for a few years now and am always MORE than happy with the results i see from his treatments. I have done several treatments with him and really like that he has always followed up with me & my results. Dr. Erik is absolutely competent, caring, and always going far above what is expected. I would give him a SIX STAR RATING if i could. Stop in to his office and you will see why. read more

OMG !!!! What can I say , Dr. Sorensen will be my go-to dermatologist from now on! It was my first time there and it felt like I've known him for a long time. He and his staff made me feel so welcome. I went in to get a mole removed and the procedure only took 5 min tops. He knows exactly what he is doing and is very knowledgeable about his practice ! He is a TRUE professional! Definitely recommend him !!!!!!! read more

I have been seeing Dr Sorenson for the past 5 years for cosmetic reasons. He does AMAZING work, very thorough and has a talent with needles. I hardly feel a pinch! Most importantly - he's honest. He asks me what I want, then tells me what I need or don't need. I really appreciate that because I tend to over-estimate what I want. I recommended him to my mom and she's never looked back to her previous Doc. read more

Dr. Sorensen has been my Dermatologist for over ten years. As a melanoma patient, I have been very pleased with his level of care and expertise towards my specific needs. Dr. Sorenson has always been very informative and his team's level of service is excellent. He has performed several procedures to remove suspicious moles and growths. All of these procedures were done professionally and without incident. I would highly recommend Dr. Erik Sorenson to anyone in need of a truly professional Dermatologist. read more

Ever had one of those physicians who make their office a revolving door at lightning speed, really "turn-em-and-burn-em?" Well, Dr. Erik Sorenson is the COMPLETE OPPOSITE. He has cared for our family of four for over a decade now. His "bedside manner" and personal care for our family has made him someone we all trust, even down to my seven year old son. We have never needed to be referred outside of him for any of the treatments we've received through him, as he has restored health and wellness in each scenario. His extensive knowledge of the body, coupled with his practice of explaining our ailments and how he is going to remedy the same (in advance of any procedures), lends itself to the confidence you have when being treated by him. Our family recommends him without hesitation or reservation. Dr. Sorenson has become a most welcomed addition to our family and you won't be disappointed by welcoming him into your family too. read more

Over 10 years ago I found Erik Sorensen after visiting many different dermatologists and I am so thankful I did. He is knowledgeable, caring, and he takes time to listen. He has helped our family with a variety of conditions and we couldn't be happier. I highly recommend him. read more

Absolutely the best. Dr. Sorensen is a consummate professional, and it's clear from the minute you sit down that he goes above and beyond to ensure your visit is as stress free and accommodating as possible. Seriously, I don't write a lot of reviews, but this place is top notch. read more

Beach Cities Dermatology Physicians are outstanding, they always have their patients care as their number one priority. I've needed a few emergency unscheduled appointments and they always get me in right away or as soon as possible. I can't say enough about their professionalism and care for their patients. If you are looking for an outstanding Dermatologist go to a Beach City location near you, I can say I'm glad that I choose them when I relocated to the west coast. read more

Dr. Erik Sorenson is awesome!! He has helped treat so many cosmetic skin issues that I've had in the past. He is conservative with his treatment yet effective. He has a great bedside manner and really connects with his patients. I get tons of compliments on how great my skin looks and I have to say he is responsible for a lots of it. Highly recommend! read more

Erik has been my families choice for over 10years! His expertise and professional care is second to none. I never feel rushed or like a number. He invests the time needed to work through any issue. Highly recommended!! read more

My wife and I have been seeing Dr. Sorenson for many years for multiple issues. He has great bedside manner, very professional, and friendly. I have been treated for skin cancer, I begged for a lightning bolt scar, wife said no, and I have no scar!! It is better that way. I've been cancer free for years now, He has treated my wife on several occasions, she too appreciates him as she won't let just any doctor see or treat her. We drive from Corona for his services. Other doctors should take notes from Dr. Sorenson on how to treat a patient. I recommend Dr. Sorenson to anyone who needs a great dermatologist, (by the way, I know he is an MPAS,PA but I consider him an MD ) I'd give him more stars but five is the best we can do! read more

Dr. Sorenson has been taking care of our families dermatological needs for several years now.

We highly recommend him to anyone who is looking for an outstanding dermatologist who truly cares about the patient!i read more
