[[HIGHLIGHT]]I wanted to leave a note of appreciation for doctor Fogelson and her nurse (I believe named Maureen).[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I came in newly postpartum with my baby with me and [[HIGHLIGHT]]they were so accommodating, sweet and helpful during my appointment.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I'm grateful I found this doctor and her team. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Dr Lerner is the best dr ever! She comes in like an angel.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I've had melanoma & she caught before it spread. I've had some things she's frozen. I think most people have that. I'm so thankful to her for her knowledge &calm attitude. I read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]The dr was okay but the review was for the office manager. I've never had someone so rude and demeaning.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]She was lazy and kept arguing as to why something wouldn't work for a pre-authorization instead of trying to find a solution.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]She wouldn't listen when I spoke and kept repeating the same thing over again.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] In addition [[HIGHLIGHT]]the staff twice said they would send over a prescription and didn't do it.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]So I waited in line at the pharmacy to only be able to get half of what I was supposed to get.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

I LOVE Dr. MUNDI! I cannot say enough good things about Dr. Mundi. I've been seeing her for years for my regular skin checks, and she is truly one of the most thorough physicians I've ever met. [[HIGHLIGHT]]She never rushes, explains everything clearly, and makes sure every detail is covered.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Beyond routine care, I've also seen her for laser treatments and other skin procedures, and the results have been outstanding. She is careful, skilled, and always focused on what will truly help. Every treatment I've had with her has made a real difference. [[HIGHLIGHT]]What makes Dr. Mundi stand out most is the way she cares. She treats you like family. She listens, takes time with you, and makes you feel completely supported.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Our entire family sees her now, and she has helped each of us with so many different needs. Dr. Mundi is one of the best doctors I have ever worked with--knowledgeable, trustworthy, and consistently exceptional. If you are looking for a dermatologist who goes above and beyond, she is the one. read more

I went to visit Dr. Mundi a couple of months ago to ask her to diagnose a bump on the back of my neck and a small bump on my arm to make sure they were not malignant. She diagnosed the bump on my neck as pseudofolliculitis, and recommended a small an injection, and then applied some liquid nitrogen to remove what she said was a wart on my arm. The entire visit took less than 3 minutes, and I naively thought the extremely minor treatments would be included in the office visit fee. But no, they appeared in the bill as separate line items, including the absolutely absurd characterization of the wart treatment as "surgery," and I a was charged over $125 (after insurance). After two months, the injection has had no appreciable impact on the bump on my neck. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I called to see if this practice could take a second look the ineffective treatment, but they want to charge for an office visit.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] No thanks, I'll pick another (among countless) dermatology practices in the area that may actually stand by their work. I firmly believe that this practice loves pushing minor procedures after making 30 second diagnoses, because as anyone in the medical field knows, procedures are far more profitable than diagnostic work. read more

Dr. Mundi has been excellent for my ongoing skin-cancer checks. I've had multiple spots that needed to be removed or biopsied, and she's always on top of it--quick to get me in, thorough, and skilled. [[HIGHLIGHT]]She's easy to talk with, treats us like family, and never makes the visit feel rushed.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I trust her completely with my dermatology care. read more

Really great care at this practice. The office staff is very friendly and accommodating. They will go out of their way to call with a cancellation if you need an appointment asap. The providers are great. Super knowledgeable in their expertise and all have a great bedside manner. They've identified cancerous growths and are hyper vigilant about checking every crack and crevice of the body! Super thorough! Billing is very straightforward. read more

Dr. Mundi has treated our family for years through all sorts of issues. She takes her time and gets to know you. She is wonderful. The staff is also very efficient and responsive. read more

BEWARE OF THIS OFFICE - They charged both my wife and I over $100 for an annual skin check which is supposed to be free / included with our insurance. Every other dermatologist office we have ever been to has not charged for this because it is included in our insurance. THEY HIDE THIS CHARGE in the small print. Disgusting practice. Just lost my wife and I as patients. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Dr Mundi is simply the best dermatologist in the area ![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] A great bedside manner and is both thorough and pleasant to be around. She seems to really care about her patients. Thank you Dr Mundi ! read more

Well this is a little disturbing. I am a current patient (well not anymore) and have had 1 bout of skin cancer which was successfully removed. I have 2 other spots that we discussed as "keep a close eye on". I was told to make a follow-up appointment if I noticed changes and tell the front desk that I am a current patient with cancer history, and that I would not have to wait the 5 months for an appointment. I called today and was told there are no appointments until the end of September (4 months wait). I explained my situation and was pretty much told I'm outta luck. I said I guess I'll have to find somebody else and was told "Okay, that's fine". I'm following their direction on follow up treatments but if their rules changed, so be it. I get being busy and overwhelmed however I'm not waiting for a car wash or a contractor to paint my house...This is my health and being a former 2-time cancer patient (1 skin, 1 other) should put me in the front of the line and not given a poor attitude when I questioned the wait. read more

I have been here 3x over the last few years. Last week I went for IPL for the first time there, but second time receiving this treatment for dark spots. So I fully understand the outcome expectations for the treatment within 24-48 hours. The very expensive treatment resulted in NO skin results. As if nothing was done at all. I fully expect a refund, have called to request one (since between their before photo to compare with mine after 2 days will be the same) and have heard nothing. Not professional and would never recommend. read more

Dr Mundi is great. Very knowledgeable and good bedside manner. The office has great parking and the staff are pleasant. I made a mistake on my appointment time and they fit me right in. Thank goodness. They take tricare select insurance which is what I needed. They provided me with sunscreen following a procedure where I am sensitive to sun. Good place that I will keep going to. read more

Dr. Mundi is simply the best! After having a less than ideal derm visit elsewhere years ago, Dr. Mundi came highly recommended and did not disappoint!I've been seeing her for 3+ years now. She's warm & caring, knowledgeable, listens and addresses everything I need, and has a easy going personality that puts me at ease (with a good sense of humor too!). Truly a quality Dr. that combines being professional and personable in the best way. read more

If you have precious teenagers and live in Orange County read this review!! Today I called the office sharp at 8am to see if they could see my daughter as an emergency add on. My daughter was a new patient to this office and they worked her in at 9am. The attention to my daughters skin history was thoroughly reviewed and well discussed. The compassion and empathy shown by the staff and medical doctor was excellent. I would highly recommend this office to anyone looking for an office who cares and focuses on your concerns and not theirs. Btw dr Jeffrey Klein's office was not interested in adding on my daughter for painful stingy skin rash from accutane which they prescribed. Thank you Dr. Jeffrey Klein's office for not accommodating my family as we found a new practice who cares. read more

Dr. Liz lener is an extraordinary doctor with her professional skills and as important is her caring and concern for her patients. I come from NY and had seen many Dermatologist's but none to compare with Dr. Lener. 'Barbara Kroe read more

Great staff, GREAT place. I have NEVER waited...efficient, friendly, professional, knowledgeable and accommodating. Did I leave anything out? NOPE...they are fantastic! read more

I saw Dr. Mundi for a painful skin lesion. She is knowledgeable and caring. The office was able to get me in quickly on another patient cancellation. Dr. Mundi answered all my questions regarding my autoimmune skin issues. She took time with me and reassured me. During Covid19, I was especially impressed with the measures the entire office is taking to prevent virus transmission. I will continue to see Dr. Mundi at Ladera Dermatology as needed. read more

Dr. Fogelson was very pleasant and she took the extra time to explain everything. The staff was nice and her assistant wamade sure to explain the medication and all the steps involved. I'm very glad we came here. read more

Dr. Mundi is not only friendly and courteous, but also knowledgeable and thorough. She has twice found squamous cell problems inside my ear and referred me to an excellent surgeon for moh's surgery. She is the best. read more

I use to go to a dermatology center in Newport Beach where Dr. Amy Litchfield was on staff. A few years ago I call up Newport to make an appointment with her and when I get there I am taken into the room and some other doctor comes in and I question where Amy is and I am told she left about a year ago. Ummm... should have told me that when I made the appointment. So, I go along with my annual skin check with the new doctor and omg... what a nightmare. At this point I am very frustrated and start a search for Dr. Litchfield and I find her at Ladera. Thank god for the internet. She totally kicks ass as a doctor, i.e., she treats you like a person. She is not one of those doctors that is arrogant and pompous. Thumbs up to Dr. Litchfield and the Ladera group. The office runs very smooth. Everything is automated. One drawback is that is is hard to get an appointment on the fly. read more

There are not enough stars to rate this office, doctors & staff! The Pathologist found Melanoma when my regular doctors pathologist said the spot was fine. Dr. Mundi is very supportive & knowledgeable when treating me & keeping me healthy!! The staff is always great & supportive!! read more

As a young person I spent lots of time in the sun and enjoyed getting sunburned. No sunscreen, no worries at that time. I had my first major surgery for skin cancer in my early fifties and now have lost count of how many (not all major, but surgeries nevertheless less) I've had. I'd like to tell everyone with any skin problems about Dr. Elizabeth Lener and her staff at the Dermatology Center at Ladera. I always look forward to my appointments for skin checks and know that she will take care of all my problems. She makes going to the doctor such a pleasure. Dr Lener is so sweet and caring. I often wonder how she can work so hard and be so nice to everyone. She is without a doubt the BEST doctor I've ever been to and I would recommend her without any hesitation. The staff there is so nice too!! read more

The staff is efficient, helpful and kind. They have removed many potential skin cancers from my ace and body. My wife and I both have enjoyed working with the group. read more

I cannot recommend this clinic highly enough. I brought a family member in with an unusual and difficulty problem, which wasn't responding to usual treatments. Dr. Lerner was thorough in her evaluation and gentle in her treatments. When it was apparent something else was going on, she was active in helping us find other specialists and continued to be involved as we discussed the findings and treatment options. Rarely do you see such dedication and continued care from a specialist. The front office staff has been routinely helpful, supportive and friendly. They have worked to find us a spot to be seen and call back to make sure we have been accommodated. An added bonus is the online services - able to send Dr Lerner a message and she responds promptly. Great doctor, great clinic. read more

I have been a patient for two years and have sent many friends here. The front-office staff is efficient and nice. The doctors I have seen have been really thorough and professional. I had an appointment for my annual skin check in December 2014 and got in and was being seen by the doctor within 5 minutes of arriving. Highly recommend them. read more

I am new patient and saw Dr. Mundi for a skin screening exam. I was very happy with not only the professionalism of Dr. Mundi but also the office staff who were very helpful and kind. I had to have a couple of biopsies which were painless and quick. Fortunately, they were negative and I got the results through the patient portal which was very easy to use. I would recommend their office and will continue to use them in the future. read more

Great staff and physicians who are caring and have great bedside manner. I would recommend anyone with skin conditions to Dermatology Center at Ladera. I have been going to this office for over 4 years. read more

Wonderful service and care. Dr. Lener is incredibly thorough in her exams, and the office staff are great too.

I have been seeing Dr Lener since her RSM office and continue to see her in Ladera Ranch . She is extremely interested in her patients. I find her and the office staff very knowledgeable and actually listen to what you say, what a novelty. I highly recommend this office if you're looking for a great Dermatilogist. read more

I went for a total body skin check for the first time today and had Dr. Mundi. She and her nurse were both very professional and caring and I felt very comfortable with both of them. She was very thorough in her exam, and found some trouble spots that I wasn't even aware of. They were both gentle and I had no pain with my biopsies. I highly recommend Dr. Mundi and her office. read more

I am so grateful I was referred to Dr Mundi because she diagnosed my condition on the first visit (I had already seen two other specialists). She is very knowledgeable and thorough. Her 'bedside' manner is one of listening, asking the right questions and then prescribing appropriate treatments. In addition, the entire staff is very professional and pleasant, all of them! I can't say enough about Dr Mundi and her staff except I wish they could treat me for everything! read more

I have been going to the Dermatology Center for at least 10 years. They are great. Excellent care and they are patient and easy to talk to. I would refer any of these doctors to anyone that wanted the best dermatologist possible. read more

I cannot believe how insensitive and the easy in which a the front office staff dismissed a patient. I called last week because my husband is having a severe skin issue on his feet and can barely walk. After being referred to Dr. Mundi, call the office and was told that the soonest there was an appointment was MAY! I explained the urgency and asked if the doctor see's emergency cases. I was told NO dermatologists do not do that and that we should go to urgent care, we have and referred to a derm. I asked she would please check with the dr. this cannot wait until MAY. She said no we do not do that. I called the neighboring doctor and they too had a long wait for an appointment. I explained again and she said, "oh no we will get you right in.!" read more

Dr. Lener and her assistant, Helen, are the best--knowledgeable, responsive, caring. The office staff is well organized and helpful! Thank you to all! read more

I have been going to the Dermatology Center at Ladera for over ten years. When I first went here, I was seeing Dr. Lener. The practice expanded, and I was seeing different doctors all the time. Dr Lener is great, but the other doctors are just as good. I moved out of the area and went to a doctor that was local to me - big mistake. Although it is a long drive, I have returned to this office. I now see Dr Mundi on my visits. She is great and extremely thorough. Her bedside manner is fantastic. Everyone at this office is fantastic, including the office staff. This has to be one of the best run doctor's offices that I have ever had the pleasure of visiting. I just hope that my primary care doctor does not read this and gets jealous ;). read more

Love this office, especially Dr. Lener! Been a patient for 15 years. Even though I've moved out of state I still schedule my treatments with Dr. Lener around my trips back to CA. read more

Absolutely do not go here if you value money. I paid $300 to get a tiny wart removed and of course it didn't work the first time so I went back thinking the 1 minute freeze would be part of the $300....nope. So $600 for 1 wart and still not gone. Where is the incentive for them to get it removed the first time!? (In comparison a family member of mine said he got his removed on two visits for $60) They also don't forewarn you about any moles being removed are automatically sent in for a biopsy. Meaning 3 moles removed and I get a bill for $1500. Oh and then they send in a prescription and try and charge $650 to fulfill, I say no way I'm paying that and then they say ok well we may have a coupon you can use and get it for $80!! Wtf isn't that offered in the beginning? Not a review on their competency as they may be qualified but unless you want to pay 800% more I suggest another place. read more

I have seen Dr. Catherine Lee several times and while I don't enjoy the "freezing" of my skin I do appreciate that she catches all my "spots." She is an incredible doc and cannot find anything bad to say about her. She is a GREAT dermatologist read more

I recently went to get a skin cancer check with Dr. Fogelson at the dermatology center in Ladera Ranch. I was very overdue for one. It had been three years or so since my last one. She was very thorough and used liquid nitrogen on growths when appropriate. What made the process so enjoyable was her sense of humor! She was very nice and I will go back again. Her medical assistant, Heilli, was awesome too! She patiently removed skin tags that were in my neck area. Even the small ones. I'm very pleased with the results! Everyone at this center is nice, Lynette and Michelle in the front office kept checking for appointment availability when I called or stopped by, and I got a prompt callback when one became available. Definitely can recommend this center. read more
