Been with DermaSpa for about 15 years and the last couple of years have been horrible. When Dr…read moreLebreque sold his practice, (a couple of years ago when this mess started) the new firm dropped my insurance BCBS and the new firm didn't inform me until after a scheduled outpatient surgery and was charged for the entire surgery. Elizabeth, the office manager (who is either overworked or just a terrible office manager) and their billing department (who are no help), after a year of constantly working this issue (by me, the patient), I ended up paying half of my surgery which I was told was supposed to be my co-pay. When I inquired with my insurance, I should have paid about half of what I ended up paying. Elizabeth assured me that going forward, that I would only be charged my insurance co-pay even through they had yet to re-establish this insurance. My next appointment , I paid my co-pay and made my next appointment for today (the second appointment). I was asked if I wanted to pay for my outstanding balance (4x my Co-pay) for my prior appointment. Long story short, I paid my outstanding balance and walked out of the office. Office staff are unable to help you and billing department are obviously contractors that treat you like a number. I think 1 star is too much.

For Pismo Beach Office (doesn't seem to have a dedicated page here):…read more The front desk were friendly the day of my appointment, although the first time I went in under referral from my physician it took a couple of calls on their part and a few "are you sure you're in the right office" exchanges to finally find that I was, indeed, referred to this office by my physician. Wait time was quick, I got into the room ahead of my appointment time, but didn't see the PA until after the scheduled time (I believe about 15 minutes). The assistant (blood pressure, initial screening questions) was moderately friendly and had decent to good bedside manner. All instructions were given clearly and quickly (akin to the airline attendants' seat belt instructions). The room itself was well lit and seemed well maintained, nothing stood out as unsightly or anything like that. Dr. McKinzie was the PA on duty for this appointment, and she was professional. She conducted the requested evaluation and dictated to the assistant for chart notes. Other than a few direct questions to me, everything seemed very straightforward and businesslike. Like many offices, there isn't much time to discuss individual care other than addressing the specific problem for that specific day, and the exam only lasted about fifteen minutes. She did address my initial concerns and reasons for the appointment, and uncovered a few things I didn't know that we agreed to follow up on. Overall, while I wish there was more time to establish rapport between doctor and patient, I cannot complain as it seems standard practice for all medical offices these days. She agreed to follow up (dependent upon insurance clearance) in a few months for the additional issues found. As far as I know my insurance was accepted, although I am sure to find out if it is not. As of now, right after the appointment, the Pismo office has accepted Cen-Cal, but will update if I find this is not the case. Prescriptions from the appointment were phoned to my preferred pharmacy promptly, so good points for that. Overall, this experience has been positive and I would not hesitate to return for follow up appointments.
