Quality care and professional friendly staff!! I highly recommend this practice!! I trust my skin to them!

Doctors: 4.5 stars Office Staff: 1 star Wait times: 0 stars I've been a patient for many years and have visited both locations. I have always found the practitioners to be very good at what they do and I've gotten good care from them. Their office and desk staff is a whole nuther story. 80% of the desk staff have been absolutely awful. Extremely rude and condescending. Some will go out of their way to spread their misery to others. I don't know why people this rude and unhappy, who seem to despise their jobs, would stay in a position where they have to interact with patients and customers every day. I also don't understand why Dr. Guide or whoever is in charge here would allow this behavior to continue consistently for years. Again, I said 80%, because they do have a couple people who are very nice, helpful and seem to care about their jobs. Also, the wait times are ridiculous. Out of all the appointments I've had there, not even one was remotely on time. You don't wait long in the reception area. They come get you and place you in an exam room. And then, nothing. It's not uncommon to sit there for 45 minutes to an hour before the doctor even walks in. Never an explanation or apology. Just SOP. Something is clearly wrong with scheduling or management. Patients have lives too. I really liked seeing Kendra, and stuck around because of her, but now that she is leaving this practice, I plan on looking elsewhere. read more

Efficient office. Good care!..................................................................................

Ashley is a great PA. Efficient thorough understanding.. I really liked her and the team at the San Clemente office

I'm very happy that my doctor referred me to this dermatology practice. I've met with Nani twice now, and each time she is so warm and friendly. She really took the time to talk with me and listen to my concerns. Yesterday there was another PA, Ashley, with Nani at my appointment. She was also very kind and helpful. I found everyone at Dr. Guide's office very welcoming and helpful from being greeted by Alexis in the front office (San Clemente) to meeting with Araceli in the treatment room. I grateful for the excellent care that I'm getting here!! read more

Everyone at Mission Dermatology in San Clemente was caring, gentle and helpful in explaining what they were looking for. I definitely recommend this business! read more

Felt the clinical quality was top notch for the service rendered. Its nice to feel like your the most important person the building

Pretty unprofessional staff. Very disoriented assistants. Most of the time my charts or information was all out of wack every time I came in. And personally I felt that my dermatologist I believe Alyssa was rude and quick toned. Over the span of 6 months I had to switch 3 dermatologists, 2 times of which I wasn't notified that I was switching until after the fact. With that, I was told different things about my Accutane from each dermatologist, leaving me confused most visits since I had been receiving check ups and care from 3 different ones over 6 months. read more

Excellent, very professional and knowledgeable, explain every procedure and importance clearly. Thank you Dr Guide, Amairani, Brittany, Gabi and everybody in the office for your great care!! Mónica W read more

Very thorough and listening to my concerns and providing services and options for me to choose from. Professional, and very friendly.

Very knowledgeable and thorough. An extremely professional practice that I would highly reccomend.

The ladies, Alexsis front desk, Katie assistant, Noni (PA) and Kaley (she was new, might have gotten her name wrong) were all very pleasant and knowledgeable. Noni went beyond by suggesting other ideas after she saw more potential problems with my mom's skin. They were all very attentive. Love this group! read more

Great care always!!!!! Been taking care of me for years. Excellent Doctor and staff

I have seen 5 Dermatologists in South Orange County since 1995, and you have seen them advertise and they are in the top 25 physicians in south orange county, and I wish I had found Dr, Guide 20 years ago. Dr. Guide is extremely knowledgeable and experienced and sincerely cares for her patients, she is in the dermatology business not the skin salons and Botox fashion boutiques' alike many of her fellow physicians. I was in banking, and all my clients were physicians, CPAs, Attorneys and Dentist. You learn that all physicians are not as talented and skilled as she is. Dr. Guide is in the top 1% of her field, and I feel very fortunate to have her as my physician. read more

Dr. Guide and her medical staff, PAs and MAs are amazing. She caught many spots that others missed.

Dr. Kendra Higgins is professional, polite, and purposeful in her time spent with comprehensive discovery to get to root cause, then prescriptive in her recommended remedies. Thank you! read more

We were referred here by our pediatrician, but unfortunately, our experience was disappointing from the moment we arrived. Despite having an appointment, we waited 30-45 minutes just to complete paperwork. I never even made it to the back to receive care because of how unprofessional the front staff was. The receptionist became visibly upset when I declined to check in on the tablet after noticing that the information was incorrect. As someone familiar with billing and insurance processes, I know how important it is not to have patients sign or agree to anything without accurate details and full consent. From that point on, I was treated with an unwelcoming attitude. Even after 30 minutes, they were still unable to correct my insurance information. I eventually chose to reschedule the appointment at their Rancho Santa Margarita location, hoping for a better experience. However, a negative front-office experience makes it difficult to feel confident in the care provided by the medical staff. read more

Dr. Guide and her staff are the BEST! I have been seeing Dr Guide for several years and she is professional, knowledgeable, caring and thorough. I have to have skin cancer screening every 6 months and have complete confidence with Dr Guide and her front office read more

Excellent overall experience. The entire staff was professional, friendly and competent. From the very nice receptionist to setting up my appointments and the very helpful reminders of my visits to the outstanding treatment I received from Dr. Guide. I also liked the facility. Bright, modern and upbeat. read more

I have been to several dermatology offices, but she is by far the best and most knowledgeable. I could immediately tell that she truly cares about her patients. As a healthcare professional myself, I can recognize when someone genuinely cares, and she absolutely does. read more

I saw Kendra for the first time and just loved her. Very sweet, knowledgeable and attentive. I look forward to continuing a relationship with her and Mission Dermatology. The front office gal was very helpful. Sorry I don't know her name. Debi Bloomfield read more

Absolutely the best care! Kind and gentle. I highly recommend this office to anyone seeking dermatology care.

Dr Guide is awesome. I recently tried another dermatologist based on a recommendation and it just made me appreciate Dr Guide that much more. She's knowledgeable, thorough, and has a lovely bedside manner. Sticking with her from now on! read more

I have been a patient of Dr. Guides for at least 10 years now. Have been treated for some skin cancers, laser treatments on my face, and Botox. Dr. Guide is pleasant, thorough, and reassuring during treatments. Additional staff is always knowledgable and thorough as well. read more

Kendra is so refreshing and very confident in reviewing concerns. Highly recommend this office.

The whole team is so good, so efficient and personable. I've gone twice with my husband to his appointments. Recently I accompanied him and I've never seen a more thorough skin cancer check before in my life. I'll be changing to Mission Dermatology even though it's a longer drive for my then my current dermatologist. The care people receive here definitely makes it worthwhile. read more

fantastic and efficient dermatologist. I took my 15-yr old son to 2 dermatologists and one other specialist before seeing Dr Guide. she diagnosed him quickly, when others were unable to do so. Dr. Guide gave us prescription, explained everything very clearly, and the entirely process was fairly quick. I highly recommend her, she was fantastic. read more

the doctor and her staff are efficient, caring, and knowageable. i highly recommend dr. shirleen guide m.d.

I received a service for my keloids and had an absolutely amazing experience! Nani, Mimi and Amber were incredibly friendly and helpful. I had questions about how the shot worked and Nani was so knowledgeable in answering my concerns while setting expectations. The shot was quick and the whole process was smooth. I greatly appreciated that Nani was able to get me in office even though I made my appointment only a day before. If you're looking for any service, definitely ask for Nani! She's super nice and intelligent. read more

The staff and the care I received was really excelent. i had a biopsy done and did not feel a thing. They explained the procedure before it was done and all things related to what I might expect. I would not hesitate to recomend them. read more

Dr Guide & her PA are straight forward Dermatologists, not about cosmetic stuff- although they do offer that. Their focus is on skin checks for skin cancer. Another bonus is that they run on time. Two offices: San Clemente & RSM read more

This was my first time visiting this office. Nani the PA and her assistant were very friendly and provided excellent care. I have been to many dermatologists over the years, but I must say, Nani did the most comprehensive exam I have ever had. She really took time and looked carefully at every inch of my body. I needed a number of biopsies, and I barely felt pinpricks when she took samples. I have no reservations about returning to this office for follow up and further care. This office visit was great! read more

Dr Guide is great....thorough, gentle and firm. Her staff is all attentive and pleasant.

The staff is so knowledgeable and friendly. Dr Guide is amazing with her Mohs surgery skills and bedside manner. Nani and Kendra are so friendly and thorough for each procedure. I recommend this office for all your dermatology care. read more

Great staff of happy, caring people who are thorough and respectful from the beginning to the end of the appointment

Dr. Glide is approachable and always spends time checking on the work of her associates and checking personally in with me. She has prescribed treatments that seem cutting edge so that makes me feel that she is very relevant in her industry. Her front desk receptionist has a level voice and demeanor. read more

Very professional and friendly staff and they were on time. First time patients should arrive 15 minutes early to fill out questionnaire.
