Her work is precise, thoughtful, and never rushed. She uses ice and numbing cream as needed, which makes the entire experience surprisingly easy and comfortable. The office is calm and welcoming, located upstairs with beautiful natural light, and parking is easy in the Lower Coast Village area -- a real plus. I especially appreciate that Dr. Pontius asks you to come back a few weeks after your first visit to see how everything has settled. That follow-up speaks volumes about her care and her desire to truly understand your individual needs over time, rather than taking a one-size-fits-all approach. The front desk and assistant, Emma, are also wonderful -- professional, warm, and organized -- making the experience seamless from start to finish. The printed post-care sheet is excellent and incredibly helpful to reference afterward. I wish every practice offered this. Professional yet warm, meticulous without feeling clinical -- a practice that clearly prioritizes both patient care and exceptional results.

First of all, I rarely write any reviews online but because of the problem that Iam having right…read morenow after getting vaginalplasty and my prolapse fixed, I think I should write a review here. For some reason, after the surgery, I start developing the recurring UTI, scarred structured vulva, , urgency and urine hesitancy. As a result, I went to see 2 of the Urogynecologies ( which I have to pay out of pocket) and they both said that the surgery that I had which brought damage to my vulva and somewhat causing the problem that I have right now. I soon will need another surgery so that I my bladder can function normally as it's supposed to be. I think if you want to have a surgery done down there, you need to find a well trained surgeon who is specialist in this field , board certified, not just an ob gyn. Nothing offense here but get it real, you need to do the research, lots of research and ask around when it comes to surgery. The reason I give 1 star because doctor Turner is a nice guy but unfortunately he did not fix the problem that I came in for but in reverse. Below is my doctor report before getting the surgery done again.

My 20 year old son has suffered with debilitating pain/migraines for the past 7 years. He has been in constant daily pain that entire time, the only thing that would relieve his pain was weekly nerve blocks and even those would only reduce his pain for 1-2 days. He wasn't able to attend school in person or get a job. He has missed countless family/friend events and has missed out on so much of his childhood and teenage years. He has greatly suffered physically and mentally/emotionally for years. We found Dr. Lowenstein during a google search and he has completely changed my sons life and future. My son had nerve decompression surgery from Dr. Lowenstein for supratrochlear neuralgia. He woke up from surgery completely pain free and remains pain free for the first time in 7 years! Dr. Lowenstein is a very knowledgeable and skilled plastic surgeon who took great care during surgery to address my sons issues and alleviate his pain, he also created an incision that would heal with minimal scaring. Dr. Lowenstein's pre and post surgical care was very thorough. He is very conscientious with his patients care and well being. He took greats steps to avoid any complications or infections and my son had an extremely smooth recovery due to these efforts. The entire staff at Dr. Lowenstein's office were amazing and such a pleasure to work with! We felt supported and informed throughout the entire process. Crystal, the office manager, was the first person I interacted with when I called. She was so nice and helpful. Christina, the patient coordinator, was very empathetic and supportive to what we were going through. She was very knowledgeable about the surgery and she walked us through each step of the process, even helping us find a hotel to stay at. Christina was very helpful and organized and made me feel like we were in good hands. Jodi and Shelley were my sons nurses, they were so caring and compassionate and really made us feel at ease and well taken care of. Jodi called us several weeks before the surgery and went over everything in detail and answered all of our questions. Jodi was my sons nurse the day of surgery and she really helped calm our nerves. She kept in contact with me before and after the surgery which I really appreciated. When I was overcome with joy and tears after seeing my son pain free Jodi was there to share in my excitement. My sons anesthesiologist, Cory, was very reassuring and professional, we instantly felt comfortable and safe with him. We had Shelley during our consultation and post op appointments. Shelley genuinely shared in our joy and was so supportive. My son and I both felt like he was in great hands with everyone at Dr. Lowenstein's office and that we had made the right decision to move forward with his decompression surgery. This surgery has been life changing for our entire family and we are forever grateful to Dr. Lowenstein for his expertise and his passion to fight for those suffering from migraines and nerve pain. Dr. Lowenstein was thrilled with my sons outcome and so compassionate. I highly recommend Dr. Lowenstein and his staff to anyone suffering from migraines. Dr. Lowenstein is doing very important work and I hope that this surgery will become more well known in the medical community so that more people suffering can find relief like my son has.

I had been dealing with psoriasis undiagnosed for my entire life. Several times it was misdiagnosed…read moreand I was told I was being dramatic. Because of this, I felt extremely embarrassed and insecure about my feet, scalp, and hands for my entire adult life (literally never even wore sandals to the beach). When I went to see Dr.Grossman, I did not expect to experience anything different, but instead I was met with the utmost professionalism and kindness. Not only did she diagnose me immediately, but she patiently answered my many questions and offered real tangible solutions. In 3 weeks I have seen massive changes and this morning Dr.Grossman told me that now, after years, my psoriasis is in remission. This afternoon I wore sandals to the beach for the first time in 10 years and I could not be more happy. A tremendous thank you to the whole team and I absolutely recommend Cal Dermatology.

Dr. Grossman and her team are great! I first visited to have a mysterious lesion evaluated. I was…read moreable to get an appointment for only a couple of days after I called, which is so great when you're stressing about something. Dr. Grossman put my mind at ease and gracefully biopsied it (I didn't even feel the sting of lidocaine), with the benign results back in about 48 hours. She also recommended I come back for a skin cancer screening given my age (mid-30s) and childhood spent in the south. I was nervous, but she was extremely thorough and reassuring, taking the time to explain my moles and spots. After the screening, she sat with me for about ten minutes going over even my smallest skin concerns (why do my lips break out after I kiss my cat? etc.) and recommending products to build a healthy skincare regimen. Dr. G doesn't rush through appointments and seems eager to make a personal connection with you. She's not happy until you're satisfied with your skin. Also, the office staff is great and I've never waited for more than five minutes or so. I highly recommend Cal 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.
