I am also busy and have a 3 month wait for non urgent patients. But when you have established patients with urgent concerns you accommodate them in an urgent fashion. 3 weeks is not urgent. A 13 year old with a new onset raised itchy facial rash is not something that can wait 3 weeks. I told them this is not up to my expectations of care and is poor patient care and they said "we are sorry to hear that but we do understand if you will need to see another dermatologist. We have a lot of urgent concerns that has been requesting to schedule but we cannot accommodate everyone." Wow. As a physician I am appalled. I would never let my staff say this to a patient!

She has the highest ethical standards and interactions with her support staff are always helpful too!

We've been taking our son to Walnut Creek Dermatology for about a year now, and I gotta tell you,…read morewe could not be happier. The office is very nice, staff is friendly, and Dr. Radelll had been wonderful to work with. She diagnosed his issues, created a long term course of action, and made sure our son understood his face care responsibilities. We've checked in with her a few times. Every visit was great. But Dave, you have Kaiser, why would you pay out of pocket? We tried Kaiser. It took several weeks just to be able to message a dermatologist. Then more messages with pictures and still no course of action. I wanted someone to actually look at his face. Plus, it's not super expensive. So we took matters into our own hands and never looked back. Give Dr. Radell a try!!

Aside from confusing directions from Waze and an elevator requiring keycards to access the building…read moremy first experience was great. True my visit was just a few minutes but in those few minutes I believe I received the information and treatment I needed for two warts on my feet. I avoided getting any kind of spa treatments on my feet because of a wart on top of one of my toes and another near my hell on the opposite foot. I was told they are contagious and should not be touched. I could put a band aid on them and still get a pedicure. Also I was informed that warts are historically difficult to treat and could require multiple treatments- up to nine! I had gone to a local podiatrist whose treatment was a very mild freeze with a canister that was very small. At Berman they had a canister that was roughly 5 times as large and delivered quite a punch to the warts. I was told it might sting a little and sting it did! I'm hoping I won't have to go 8 more times but I think I went to the right place. I know my feet will be beach ready before summer.

Wow so many bad reviews. Makes me think twice if I will purchase another laser package…read more I've been to the Palo Alto and San Francisco office and they were great. I had regrowth so I scheduled a visit in the WC location due to relocating here. Location is nice however the entrance to the office is very dark. The receptionist was nice however here are my pros and cons. Cons: I didn't find my visit very welcoming The laser process seemed very fast only individually targeted and not in a straight row as I'm used to. Seems like you can miss areas if you are not consistently lasering the whole area. There were no discussions just sit here and put on the glasses. I felt PA could have asked my input. She was not friendly at all. Before they would shave me first not here. Now I have these burned hairs attached to the face and I'm wondering are they supposed to fall off? When I explained to the PA in the past they would treat more areas she kept saying this is why as a courtesy I lasered a couple areas. She must of said that at least five times as a courtesy for you. This is not how you talk to customers. I wasn't too happy with how quick my area was treated considering how much money I paid. When you are a customer and pay for a service with your hard earned money you expect at a minimum good customer service. I was expecting a wow factor here and that did not happen. Also the ice pack provided lasted 5 minutes was lot helpful at all.

They don't take most insurance but in this case you definitely get what you pay for.
