I have recommended this office to many friends. I've seen 4 different doctors there based upon their specialty. Last week I saw Dr. Ngo who quickly found a potential problem and followed up with a call within 2 days of the appointment. The wait time for this appointment was very reasonable - maybe 10-15 minutes. I will continue to recommend this office. read more

Dr. Condon is professional, talented, and very patient friendly. Bottom line: this is the place to go for all your dermatological needs!

The doctors are knowledgeable and caring, especially Dr. Cole. The front office staff are so efficient and helpful and kind, even when it is very busy and the phones are ringing and the office waiting room is full. The billing department took the time to explain and review my charges and insurance info. Definitely recommend this center!! read more

To each their own, yelp is about sharing experiences, if you do not agree with mine, then don't worry about it and post your own. Want to let others know that I went here but had an appoint with Dr. Kaufman - I heard him yelling at his staff and then walk out to the waiting room and yell out asking where his next patient was (with "f" expletive). Totally disappointed - I tried to book Dr. Curcio for my next visit in May but I was told she will no longer be at the practice. Hopefully she is near by. Dr. Kaufman did a fine job on the work I had done, but his bedside manner and lack of care will not have me returning here. read more

My family has been coming to Center for Dermatology Care for several years but there have been changes in the office that are causing us to look elsewhere. My husband scheduled an appointment with Dr. Speaker only to have the office call a few days later to say she wasn't going to be in the office and he would have to reschedule. He made another appointment and we got a call at 7am the day of the appointment saying Dr. Speaker had a family emergency and wouldn't be available for his appointment at 9am. He rescheduled again and when he went in for his appointment they handed him New Patient paperwork. When he told them he'd been seen there many times they went looking for his chart and came back 15 minutes later with our son's chart. They finally found the right chart and then told him that he didn't have an appointment and that Dr. Speaker wasn't in the office that day. Time to find a new dermatology office. read more

I haven't been to a dermatologist before so I wasn't sure what to expect and how much it would cost since I wouldn't be using insurance. I was really pleased with my visit and the cost was very reasonable and less than what I had expected. Dr. Cole was really nice, patient and very knowledgeable. She took the time to explain and answer my many questions. I didn't feel rushed in any way. Their aesthetician Debbie was also really kind and I'm glad she offered products without harsh chemicals. I am glad that I wasn't recommended anything unnecessary or something I would not be satisfied with. I'm really glad I made the appointment and I feel so much more informed now. read more

I have been a patient of Dr. Kaufman for many years. I have had many surgical cancers removed by many other physicians and there is no doubt that Dr.K is the master of them all. He did a Mohs procedure on my face that took 23 sutures. Today you cannot find any signs of a scar from the procedure. I feel so fortunate to have Dr. Kaufman as my physician. I also think his office staff is excellent , highly skilled and very accommodating. Norman R read more

I have been a patient at The Center for Dermatology for over 5 years. Today my annual body scan was scheduled for 9:10 Am, I checked in at 9:06 Am. I was immediately asked to pay my $60 co-pay which I did. I then sat in the waiting room. After sitting in the waiting room for 25 minutes I went to window and asked "What is going on" they then told me I was next. My name is then called and I am led to the examine room where the assistant asked the customary questions and then told me to strip down to my underwear and said Dr. Cole will be right with you. I waited there in my underwear, in a room that was about 65 degrees for 35 minutes. Finally at 10:10 a full hour after my scheduled appointment I got dressed and walked out to the front desk. A women was sitting by the phone and another was filing. They looked at me and I asked "What is going on, my appointment was scheduled for an hour ago and I have been sitting in my underwear for 35 minutes. No updates, no apologies nothing". Another woman walks over and says "What do you want us to do?" I said "give me my $60 co-pay back and complete the exam." She says "That is not going to happen!" I said this is bull shit, it's 10 am in the morning and you are an hour behind, no one has updated me or apologized. I got my $60 co-pay refunded and left to go to work. It's now 6 hours later and neither the Doctor or Office Manager has contacted me. Completely unacceptable, disrespectful of people's time and a complete lack of professionalism in the office for offering no updates while I sat there wasting 60 minutes of my day, 35 of those minutes in my underwear freezing. read more

My first visit I saw Dr. Hartman. There were a few things I wanted frozen but she checked out my insurance and became all excited about a spot I couldn't even see. It became an emergency involving three appointments. When it was all over, I paid $2500 out of pocket and have no idea how much she got from the insurance company. As I walked to my car, I still had the several small spots on the side of my face I wanted frozen off. I felt this place doesn't care about the patient, only the amount they can collect from everyones insurance. It was so obvious. read more

Don't go to this center if you have other choices, their charge is very high, and the poor service. No treatment was provide, only 10 minutes sitting in the room, and doctor came in, spent 2 minutes, gave a prescription gel, and finally it turned out no results, and charge is almost $100, ridiculous!!!!!!!!!!!! read more

Doctor Ngo is amazing, absolutely best demonologist I've ever been too. She was so knowledgeable and helpful in treating my condition. She is very sweet along with all the other staff members that work for her. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a doctor. She doesn't give up on your condition and will keep seeking out different methods of treatments! read more

Dr Ngo is the best Doctor. She takes her time with me and always addresses all of my concerns. Top notch!!

As a former physician myself all I can say a that this was an incredibly awkward and poor experience. His ability to speak to patients is extremely lacking. Additionally, he has a strange demeanor with his staff who all seem to fear him or avoid him. I tried asking him a few questions but he was focused on getting me out the door. We have choices when it comes to care, my choice would be to go else where. read more

Dr. Cole is professional, friendly and knowledgeable. The office staff is not. I was one half hour late for my appointment because of a work emergency and the office was alerted to this. I waited one hour and twenty minutes for Dr. Cole to look at one mole on my face which took three minutes. When I asked why the wait was so long, they told me they had an emergency - someone's stitches fell out. Three patients walked in after me and were seen by Dr. Cole before me. None of them were emergencies. This office needs to learn common courtesy. I am a pharmacist and have been in the medical profession for 35 years and I have never encountered an office as rude as this one. I wonder if the doctors are aware of their staff's behavior? read more

dr cole is an amazing dr. cole is the dermatologist for bith my husband and i. dr cole is very detailed, caring and professional. highly recommend dr cole. read more

I went to Dr.Ngo , she is very good in her field and professional , but I was so upset because i waited for her at the office about 90 minute and she just spend with me about 10 minute , she was in hurry I couldn't even finish what I 'm going to explain for her my case . which I think it is so rude to treat your patient like that read more

This review is specifically for the esthetician, Jaime, who works at the CFDC. I will admit, as a man, I was a bit apprehensive about getting a facial at all, but let me tell you Jaime is incredible. She is so sweet and genuine and is exceptional at her craft. If you or anyone you know needs a great facial, look no further than Jaime at the CDFC. Highly recommended. read more

I have seen Dr. Speaker for different issues for the past three years. I would highly recommend her as being a #1 doctor. She listens, she perscribes and is thorough in her explanation. She has never let me down and her office staff as well as her associates are top notch. I would highly recommend her. read more

I was referred to this office by a different dermatologist who was on vacation at the time I wanted to make an appt. I was scheduled same day with Dr. Speaker and let me tell you she was AWESOME! She was SO friendly and made me feel very comfortable. I came in for a scalp issue (but like every other person trying to get the most out of their doc visit without having to make another appointment and pay more money =) I began asking her if certain moles I had were "suspicious". She was very gracious and checked real quick for me. She told me I had one we had to remove and to make an appt to have it done as soon as possible. When I mentioned to her it was the last day I had insurance, she asked if I had ten minutes and to wait there while she finished up with another patient and then would go ahead and help me out. I know she didn't need to take the extra 15 minutes to do the little procedure, but she did. She was super nice about it and I was very thankful. The staff here as well were very nice! VERY VERY important at a doc's office. Highly recommend Dr. Speaker! read more

I have seen both Dr. Ngo and Jaime, the esthetician, at CFDC. I can't say enough great things about either of them. They made me feel very comfortable and cared for right from the start. Their level of knowledge about what they do and the patient care that they give is exactly what a person wants when they walk into any doctor's office. I highly recommended Jaime for any facials, waxing or other esthetician based services. Dr. Ngo will definitely be the dermatologist that I continue to see and who I recommend to family and friends. Overall, my experience at the CFDC was excellent! read more

Thanks to Laticia for advocating in my behalf.

I, too, am a Dr. Kaufman super-fan. He is the only doctor I completely trust, and so even though I now have an HMO, I still come to him and pay in cash. It gives me peace of mind. I see him every year for Mole Max, and I need moles removed on most of those visits. The way he sutures and the post-wound care is like no other doctor I've seen, and the result? Very minimal scarring. Ten years ago I came to him with a melanoma on my neck, and I thought I was just going to have a consultation for Mohs surgery. The mole had already been biopsied and was deemed in situ. He took one look at my neck, and his tone completely changed. He said, "You are not leaving with that on you," as he called his nurses to prep for surgery. I protested and asked about scarring, and he said, "It will scar, but that thing will kill you." He was right, as it turned out to be slightly invasive, but thankfully, he got it all, and that was that. He knows his stuff. His bedside manner is kind, professional, and very much in control and knowledgable. Would every doctor were like Dr. Kaufman. The world would be a much better place. The oncologist he recommended, Dr. Michael Masterson, was equally amazing. I agree with what the other reviewer said - professional adoration! read more

I noticed a growth on my arm that, when compared to internet pictures, looked like a skin cancer. I looked over YELP reviews and called several offices - this being one of them. Most offices could not get me in for over a month. The office staff worker here (I believe Haley was her name) was very compassionate and sensitive to how scared I was. My mom has extensive skin cancer. Despite, all the doctors being booked up, she squeezed me in to see Dr. Cole. Dr. Cole biopsied the growth and called me within several days. It was not cancer, and I was so relieved. I am going back for a full body check in the new year. I am very grateful. read more

I have had several visits with Dr. Kaufman in the past. Most recently I had a fairly new procedure done called Therma Sculpt, focusing under the chin. The procedure is done using localized (awake) anesthesia. I was a bit nervous and was assured by Dr. Kaufman and his wonderful nurses throughout the entire procedure. I had absolutely zero complications. Dr. Kaufman is absolute top notch at his craft. I would certainly recommend him. read more

I've been seeing Debbie Bernheim the Clinical aesthetician at Center for Dermatology Care for just over a year for facials - let me say that I grew up in Southern California in the 50's and 60's. On Redondo and Torrance beach every summer Without any sunscreen or sunglasses and my skin is ruined - I'm fair skinned, blue eyed and freckled! Debbie has been able to rejuvenate my skin, close my pores and I'm so very grateful! she is truly talented, sweet and very considerate! See her - you will be happy with the results!! read more

Debbie is the best esthetician, specializing in skin care, using her expert advice, to giving you a custom blended facial, everything from masks to microderabrasion, skin peels, oxygen facials. Debbie is amazing! very attenative to my needs, and has lots of knowledge on skincare. My skin looks great! read more

Interaction with the Dr. was really weird. He said nothing to me as his patient, not even a hello. Walked in, did some stuff, walked out. Heard him talk at the nurse outside my room again. I felt very uncomfortable. Medical care was good, people / communication poor. Front desk girls are super nice and energetic. read more

Debbie has completely changed my skin! Always running on time and always so sweet. Ive never been comfortable not wearing makeup and she has changed my life! The best facials you can get! read more

Sagar P. your comments do not even make sense. I have never heard Dr. Kaufman yell at anyone. By the way Dr. Kaufman does not come out and call his patients, the nurses do. Dr. Kaufman does excellent work and as for his bedside manner he is extremely professional. Thank you for not returning it will leave space for the patients who appreciate him. read more

I am a very busy person and never take the time to write reviews but I felt it imperative that , after 6 Mohs with Dr. Kaufman, I write about his abilities. I have had the unfortunate problem of needing many many Mohs throughout the last 20 years. I have been to "specialists" at UCLA, Encino, Calabasas and The Palisades and it wasn't until another doctor pushed me toward him because one of my cancers was so difficult ( in location) that I found Dr. Kaufman. In no uncertain terms, in all the Mohs surgeons I've used over the years, Dr. K is THE BEST. By far. I call him the "Suture Master" ( I've never actually seen such tiny stitches before!) .He has taken what could be life-altering scars and made them almost undetectable. His surgical center is state-of-the-art and pristine. Location is easy right off the freeway and the parking is plentiful and accessible. His staff is totally professional , friendly and prompt. I began Mohs in my 20's (!), sucks I know, and am now in my 50's so I know of what I speak. If you want the best doctor for this procedure ( and a great facility), this is the guy. Done. read more
