Dr. Ross does such a great job that my scars are practically invisible! I'm so grateful to have a Dr. That is excellent at his job and truly cares! See you in 6 months.

I've been to…read moresee him three times, now, and NEVER did he talk down to me or wave off my questions with an authoritative air of superiority. Rather, he looks you in the eyes and listens (how rare is that?) and then takes his time to answer any and all questions you have. During an actual procedure, he talks to you the whole time, explaining exactly what he's doing and what to expect. In a day and age when many feel that "healthcare" is a miserable failure, and doctors are either so bogged down with ridiculous protocols that the patient feels they are reduced to a mere number, or when the patient's plan forces them to seek care from an MD suffering from "white god-coat syndrome", Dr. Andrew L. Ross is a serious breath of fresh air! Should my insurance change in the future and not cover any visits to Dr. Ross, I will somehow manage to cut corners on other expenses, save my money, and pay him out of pocket. He's just that good!

I chose Coastal Pacific Dermatology after reading solid Google reviews--wanted the best care for my…read more15-year-old daughter's eczema and white spots. I skipped insurance to get in faster, paid out-of-pocket, and was told upfront the consult would run $150-$350. Fine. In the exam room, the doctor said she'd need a biopsy--asked again about cost, got "no more than $350." I agreed. Then came the surprise: hours later, they called to add $75 for lab work--never mentioned before. Still, I paid; I just wanted answers. Three weeks passed. No call. I chased them--first week, "it'll take time"; second week, same. Finally got results last Friday. Nothing since. Called Tuesday to follow up--turns out they hadn't even looked at them. Wanted another full visit just to discuss. After I said how frustrating this was--waiting, hidden fees, zero follow-through--they emailed tonight: a polite 'goodbye' claiming they tried everything--while admitting they never even reviewed her results until I called. They say follow-up is 'standard,' but apparently not when you're the one waiting. I get that clinics need to run, but this felt like money came first--every step. If this is their idea of care, I'd rather find someone who actually listens--before charging you to do it. If you're looking for real help, not just a bill, maybe think twice before going to Coastal Pacific Dermatology

I thought it was odd, and while signing the general paperwork, I saw that they would charge the card on file if payment was not received within thirty days. I saw the doctor about a lump in my back. She did not diagnose it. She said she can't remove it or do anything, but would send me a list of other doctors who might. I never received any information. I was in their office for less than twenty minutes. No follow up. My bill was $145. I cannot recommend this office or doctor.

I first started seeing Dr. Lupton for adult acne issues and over the years have also checked out their cosmetic services. Dr. Lupton always provides an honest diagnosis and walks through various options. I've always felt like my skin is in the best hands! Shawn is a great esthetician both for facials and dermaplane. I love her calm and friendly demeanor! She always goes out of her way to make sure her patients are happy and taken care of. What I've always appreciated is that they never try to upsell expensive products or procedures. In fact, Dr. Lupton has recommended OTC products many times. It's refreshing and rare in San Diego! If you're looking for a dermatologist, visit SD Derm ASAP!

(I had previously been going to another Dermatologist for years without any problems and the results were always good). Nothing was changed after these 2 visits so I've gone to another Dermatologist who has taken care of the matter, as I've been used to. Prompt results! On the first visit Dr. Lupton said I should buy a cream to use on my forehead. It cost $139.00! Naturally it didn't do a thing to help. I asked for my money back and the girl said something like "sorry, that's from the manufacturer and we don't refund". That was BS to me. Needless to say I will never go back.

I wanted to be clear on what we were talking about so I kept telling her that I was trying to be clear. I guess I "almost made her cry" ?? HAHAHA. That's a new one on me. From the other side of the phone, trying to be clear on medication and she was almost crying? I should have been the one crying. I guess she went crying to the doctor who came on the phone, told me she almost cried. She is supposed to be a professional? What a pathetic individual and she clearly should find another field to work in. Medicine is nothing to be cavalier about and that she was offended that I was trying to be clear and not use the wrong medication is wildly absurd.

I have had acne off and on throughout my life, but my hormonal acne significantly flared up in the last few years. I decided to try something new, and I am so glad that I did!! Lan is such a delight! She is super knowledgeable and answers any questions or concerns that I have. She is so sweet and kind and I look forward to our appointments, as it is just like catching up with a friend! She is an amazing aesthetician, and I am sooo thankful to have her as my guide on my journey to improve my skin. I have seen significant improvement in the overall health of my skin since I have started my acne spot regimen and bi-weekly facials. My face no longer has deep and painful acne like it did when I started the program. My skin texture and appearance has also significantly improved and not only do I see the improvement but so have my friends and family. I am now not as self conscious of my face and that feeling is priceless. However, I must note that it is not an overnight fix. In order for there to be improvement, you must be willing to stay consistent with your skin routine!! It is an investment both time wise and financially, so you need to make sure that you are willing to put in the work to see results. It was very much a worthwhile investment for me. I am so glad that I did it!!!

The technology wasn't available yet, and many other places only treats acne on the face, so it was really hard to get any sort of help for awhile. Along comes NCSS! I've been treated by Taylor, Ali, and Kalli, and have been to their old location too, so I've been a faithful customer for about a year now before writing this review. My back with the acne scars is so clear now and smooth and I am so happy with the results. I also buy skin care products from them here to also use on my face, it's been so helpful. Seriously have been so awesome and now that I have teenage daughters, I will be bringing them here when they need it. I'm all for supporting a small, woman-owned business when considering any sort of facial or treatments in general, and this place fits the bill perfectly. I'm a loyal customer for life.
