The best dermatologist I have ever been to. Thorough, knowledgeable, super nice and highly skilled. I am bummed that I had to switch to Kaiser. Just saw the dermatologist there.. awful, slap dash, in a hurry, head was clearly some place else. I'm almost tempted to pay out of pocket to see him again! What a ridiculous health care "system" we have! read more

Competent, smart, efficient, friendly. Office staff is fine.

Great doctor, warm personality, efficient office staff, friendly environment. I trust going to Dr. Fung. He's honest, caring and the best! He treated me for my skin condition and it's responding nicely. read more

Jason Fung, MD - Dermatologists Near Me - Oakland, California

Most of us have suffered the inanities and humiliations of doctor visits, the cold receptionists, the stupid little rooms, the standoffish mechanical blood pressure taking, and then finally the Great One appears in your little room hardly looks at you (or looks at you as if you were a specimen in a jar), reads NONE of the info you just spent twenty minutes writing up in the waiting room, and then begins to probe you like a turkey being stuffed, and eventually you leave poorer in pocket and in spirit (I once left a urologist's office and cried all the way home). But from my very first visit three years ago I knew that Dr. Fung was nothing less then the best medical doctor I have ever been to and I've been to a lot, and I don't just mean the best dermatologist. I have told him before that I wish he was a GP so he could handle all my medical needs. The reason he is so good is that he sincerely takes a real interest in you and your life, and he takes his time with you. You never feel rushed, quite the contrary, I've even felt selfish for all the time he has given me in his office (imagine that). I've had a number of skin issues and for each one he has explained every procedure carefully, what the options are, the risks, the probable outcomes, etc. I am most grateful to him for spotting a small melanoma on my cheek during a regular skin examine. I could have died if he did not see that, or lost a large part of my cheek, as it was he sent me to a specialist surgeon and you can hardly see the tiny scar that could have been a crater. I've seen him about half a dozen times over the last three years and every time it's the same high quality service and attitude. He also has a funny little blog, the title? "Fung in the Sun" !!! read more

Dr. Jason Fung has seen my hubby for acne treatment. Dr. Fung is really nice. I checked him out before making the appointment. He went to an elite private highschool, went to Yale and then University of Rochestor for med school. Dermatology is an extremely hard residency to get and he went to Yale and Wash U. That told me he was extremely intelligent so I decided to make an appt. He's very personable and he doesn't rush you in and out of his office. My hubby had an appt with him and somehow dropped his cell phone in his office, where it then fell apart to pieces. Dr. Fung went on his hands and knees looking for the missing piece which was the battery cover. No one could find it but Dr. fung told his assistants to keep looking and told the hubby that he'll let him know if they find it. Bottom Line: Dr. Fung is extremely personable and will answer any questions you might have about dermatology. He's extremely knowledgeable and has two practices in the bay area. read more

I was referred to Dr. Fung from my primary care physician for an age spot that I wanted removed. I took a 6:30pm appt on a Friday evening! I didn't know any MD had appts that late! He was running really late and I didn't actually get in to see him until 7:15pm. However, the office staff was so nice and personable that I didn't feel ignored and wasn't bored. A nurse also came out to the waiting area to let me know about the wait and apologized. The first thing Dr. Fung did was also apologize for the delay. I think we all have those days and it's just important to communicate appropriately and acknowledge/apologize as necessary and everyone in his office did that! Although I originally went for one thing, I ended up speaking to him about 3 issues. He didn't mind at all and treated 2 of the items and suggested options of 2 different medications for the 3rd. I thought that I was supposed to think about my medication options and speak to him about my choice on my follow-up appt. Surprisingly though, I got a call from him next day (Saturday!) when he told me that he forgot to give me some samples and that he put them in the mail. I'm really looking forward to my follow up visit. He was competent, gave thorough explanations for procedure options, treated me efficiently, was very professional, and extremely personable. read more

Dr. Fung is a fantastic dermatologist. I started seeing him after going to another dermatologist for about a year. Compared to my last dermatologist, Dr.Fung is wayyy better. For one thing, he actually takes the time to really examine my skin. The last doctor I had would barely glance at my skin before she wrote me some random prescription that didn't even work. I wasted a lot of time and money with the last doctor when I could have been seeing Dr. Fung instead. Not only is he a great doctor though, he's super nice and has great manners. He always gets bombarded with a bunch of questions by me but never seem to mind answering them, plus his explanations are always in depth and clear. I always come out with a better understanding of why my skin acts the way it does and what I can do to combat the problem. Another thing I like is that you never feel rushed with him, like you would with a lot of other doctors. He's truly a cut above the rest. So if you have any skin problems, I highly recommend Dr. Fung. Just dont take my preferred appointment times. =P read more

Dr. Fung, like all other Yelpers agree, is a fabulous doctor. He saw me at 5:30pm on a Friday, didn't expect to get an appt. that late, and when I thanked him, he told me that he now works 'till 7pm MWF and had 2 "daddy-daughter" days...awwww. He is so personable and friendly; I seriously wish all doctors were this way. He has never made me feel like I am wasting his time and always answers all of my questions in a way that I can understand. I'm so glad to be in the care of Dr. Fung. read more

Finally, I found have a wonderful dermatologist. After seeing a few previous dermatologists whom I shall not name I was at a loss to find one. Thanks to all of my fellow yelpers, I found Dr. Fung. Also his educational background is pretty impressive. His office is very warm and inviting. Easy to find right off the freeway and has evening hours. While in the waiting room I watched animal planet, yes I said animal planet on a nice flat screen tv. Dr. Fung has a great bed side manner, which to me is very important. You want to feel comfortable with someone who is going to staring at your "issues". While at my appointment I never once felt rushed. He broke everything down for in terminology I could understand and why my skin was acting the way it was. He provided me with several samples, which was very helpful for the issues I was seeing him for. Nothing worse than spending a ton of money on something that doesn't work or makes everything worse. Yes, I had to wait 8 weeks to get in with him, but worth the wait. read more

Dr. Jason Fung 5 Stars! Very personable and friendly with a smooth running practice and friendly staff. He takes the time to explain everything clearly which is rare in my experiences. Since seeing him I have had much better results and a greater understanding of my fun skin problems which makes it easier to take care of. Hands down the best dermatologist I have seen. read more

Dr. Fung is a superb dermatologist. I needed to have a small procedure done on my face. He explained each of the options clearly and chose the option that would be most efficient and minimize scarring. This was the first doctor's visit I've ever had where the appointment actually started on time. I was in and out of there, including the procedure, in 30 minutes! The price was very affordable as well, compared to what others who went elsewhere have told me they've paid for the same service. The front desk and Dr. Fung's assistant gave great customer service. I would absolutely go back to Dr. Fung again! read more

Deep competence. A good listener. An excellent explainer. Brisk and efficient, yet willing, even eager to take questions and clarify the patient's understanding of their condition and treatment. Information is conveyed with patience and humor. Very successful outcomes with no complications for this patient--mostly sun-damaged, aging skin issues. read more

Dr Fung is an incredibly friendly person, great listener, and very helpful. He's very knowledgeable and takes the time to answer every question. Every time I've gone, all his staff have also been super friendly and helpful. I always leave a little bit shocked at how pleasant the whole thing was, being a doctor's visit and all! I highly highly recommend Dr Fung. read more

I have been a patient of Dr. Fung for the last ten years. He is an unusually patient doctor who is always thoughtful when responding to questions. His annual exam is thorough. I have recommended that friends who visit the Bay Area schedule their annual skin exams with him during their vacations. Most friends tell me that their annual exams are 5 minutes. Dr. Fung takes his profession seriously. He cares about diseases and conditions of the skin. read more

Bad customer service. It appears that Dr. Fung's office does not have a receptionist. I never was able to reach a receptionist after more than 8+ calls within a span of 3 weeks. Also, I never received a call back even though I left several messages on his answer machine. I don't recommend him to anyone for these reasons. read more

Dr. Fung is a fine physician, nice guy, and a joy to visit. He is very knowledgeable, approachable and friendly. Two thumbs up!

I saw Dr. Fung based on a recommendation. Dr. Fung seems to like my company that he had me visit his office every 2 weeks for nearly 45 days before he decided to treat me. That was 4 visits with no progress. I was paying $50 every visit.. and 100's on medication (with insurance) and not getting treated, buying expensive medications every 2 weeks that could last me for years and yet to be changed every 2 weeks to a different medication. I had to stop the non-stop experiment done on my face. It seems "This is strictly busine$$", and no moral values or concern for one's problem. Really really disappointed. read more

Was recommended here by my Doctor. I have to say the only reason I did not give this place 5 stars are 1. The older lady receptionist was pretty rude for whatever reason, even rolled her eyes at her co worker (another older lady) after I asked her a question. Made me feel pretty uncomfortable. 2. When Dr. Fung walked into the office he had Google glasses on which are known for recording, I don't know if he was recording, but you would think the Dr. would ask if it was OK for him to wear them while in the office visit to make me feel comfortable for patient confidentiality purposes. Other than that I liked my visit with Dr. Fung, he was very personable, kind and addressed and explained any issues I had regarding my visit, he definitely knows his stuff. I can see why he is highly recommended. read more

Dr. Fung is the best dermatologist! He has an office in Oakland and one in Lafayette. He was able to help me with a skin rash that I've taken to Kaiser dozens of times over the years, only to get an answer, "Put some Vasaline on it and it'll go away." I found out about him because one of my friends works there. He was able to look at my boyfriend's moles and this bump and immediately identify the problem. He's always easy to talk to and you can ask as MANY questions as you like! He's a really nice guy and I always leave with a bag full of really good skin care samples! read more

My entire family are huge fans of Dr. Fung and his team for our variety of skin ailments and needs. He is exceptionally thoughtful, kind and patient. read more

Dr. Fung is the nicest, most agreeable, personable, competent and responsive doctor I've had the opportunity to see. It took me many years to find a dermatologist, and I honestly wish he was a general practitioner as I would love to go to Dr. Fung for any medical need (natch, I've asked him to do so, but he won't...my loss). I look forward to every visit as I know that I will receive his full attention, his sense of humor, and his ability to relate to the issues I am facing as I get older. I tell *everyone* I know that they should seek him out! read more

To echo the other posters, Dr. Fung is the bomb! Friendly, knowledgeable, thorough and respectful are only a few adjectives to describe him as an exemplary healer. Personal calls with results of tests and treatment suggestions are one example of his special touch- without a doubt the finest medical practitioner I have encountered. Though I've relocated from the Bay area, I will be making the 1000 mile round trip for my complete cancer screenings from him, at least until I find someone as competent and engaged as him (not likely!) Helpful and organized staff. read more

First of all, Dr. Fung is great. Like his style and personality and he is very knowledgeable. I had an appt. today where I did not get to see him because there was some confusion over whether or not the visit would be covered since I changed from PPO to HMO - even though I had a referral and taken all the necessary steps. Long story short, Claire, the office manager quickly got to the bottom the confusion by being willing to speak with the necessary people, called me back to follow up, and I was able to get rescheduled within the week. Dr. Fung is awesome and so is Claire. Claire's efforts made up for the inconvenience of what happened earlier. read more

Dr. Fung is the best dermatologist. I have been seeing him for a number of years and always have a great experience.

Hard to get in, but terrific, he's worth the effort! Goes the extra mile in a doubtful diagnosis, very careful.

Dr Fung killed my heal full of plantar warts after many attempts and surgery from other offices and now my face looks great after years of red and ugly zits I am so happy!!!! Rebecca Kirchner read more

My primary care doctor referred me to Jason Fung because I have a history of skin cancer. I called his office and left a message. No return call for 3 days. I called back and was told that he is no longer seeing new patients except if I am referred by my primary care doctor to see him, even though I have a PPO plan. I had the referral faxed to his office yesterday. Today I called to make an appointment and was told he is no longer taking new patients even with a referral. I explained that 3 days ago I was told to get the referral, which I did. She just kept repeating herself. I called my primary care doctor back and told her not to refer anyone to him again. read more

Dr. Fung is the best dermatologist. My husband and I both saw him, and we're so sorry to have moved out of state. He has a natural and easy bed-side-manner and is a great all around, wonderful person. He cares about each paitent, and he treats the 'whole' paitent. read more

When my original dermatologist retired I didn't know what I was going to do because she was exceptional. I have found the same level of competency and thoughtfulness with Dr. Fung. I can't say enough about his service and am grateful to have found him! read more

Dr Fung is great! Very personable, smart, and sets you at ease. Doesn't scold you for enjoying a little sun now and then. He also has a great memory for the details and makes you feel like you are important and not just another patient. Highly recommended! read more

Dr. Fung is a wonderful dermatologist. Competent, friendly and caring. If you need a dermatologist, you gotta see him; he will take excellent care of you and treat you like a friend! read more

I concur with the other reviewers. JF brings out the best in medicine -- concern, care, professionalism, and pragmatic approaches to health. He's also thoughtful and funny. Couldn't ask for a better doc. read more

Well, I never made it past trying to make an appointment on the phone. Even before being asked why I wanted to come in, the receptionist wanted to confirm insurance, and because my card (Anthem/BlueCross) didn't have a particular code on the front of it, he didn't know if it would work. Totally unprofessional in my impression. read more
