Professional and courteous. Very nice staff.
Great experience overall, front staff was pleasant and helpful, Dr. Han listens to your concerns and makes you feel comfortable. I would recommend going a few minutes early as the underground parking lot is full at most times.
My visit to this location was an A plus experience. Everyone was extremely helpful. Dr. Mafong took the time to answer all my questions. He addressed each and every concern that I had. The Dermatology & Laser Center of San Diego cares about you!!
Would have given them five stars but there was an issue with their scheduling system that cost me about 30-45 minutes of time. Dr. Mafong is awesome and takes the time to listen and answer all questions.
I love coming here! I’ve seen Ellsworth and Lowry and both are amazing! The facilities are so clean and you truly feel like you’re known and welcome each time
Staff was friendly & knowledgeable. Dr Amy took care of my 87 yr old father with compassion & empathy. Clean reception area & clean sterile examination room.
Do not waste your time, money or effort at ANY office overseen by Dr. Mark A Willouhby. His admin staff is rude and unaware of payment policies advised by their own advising staff. …
Dr. Mufong is always great and to the point. Extremely informative about all skin bumps and concerns. He gives me good prices because he knows I do not have insurance to pay for his visits.
I came to have a skin tag treated for elimination from my lower left eyelid, and the nurse did the procedure excellently. Very pleasant staff and clientele, nice office, in Hillcrest, across the street, to the west, from Mercy Hospital.
If you’re looking for a dermatologist that’s direct and to the point, this is your place! …
Dr Han is an excellent dermatologist and I would highly recommend her. She takes time with her patients and works to provide what the patient needs. She works well will anxious patients, providing supportive care and rescheduling as needed.
My son has the mole in the middle of his forehead, it turns worse these days. We are very worried about that. Dr. Mafong is informative and warm. The sentence he said” if he is my son, I would…” calms me down. In addition, I’m self-pay, …
Receptionist refused to give me a quote on a simple wart removal. I said I needed at least an estimate because I’m a full-time student and I’m paying out-of-pocket and she said no that I would need to pay the doctor $150 first and then he could give me a quote. Good way to lose business.
Dr Han was incredibly attentive and made sure to answer all our questions. She is incredibly knowledgeable and we appreciated the different options she gave us for successful treatment.
Very efficient in setting appointment within reasonable time. When I showed up for appointment was seen within 5 minutes. I had records sent from another provider to Dr. Mahfong. My records were reviewed timely and my consult for Mohs …
Great staff, great treatment, great experience.
After years of seeing dermatologists, the NP Erica Ventrella was a breath of fresh air. She always made me feel so comfortable and I came out of every visit feeling reassured. Highly recommend!
First, upon visiting, there were bloody cottonballs from the previous visitor just sitting in the corner of the room. Gross and unhygenic. …
Really straight forward warm reception. Super honest and cares. Immediate connection with staff. Dr. Brouha MD is a gem. If your looking here for your needs? Pls look no further. Thanks Doc!!
I had dreaded making a dermatology appointment because I remembered it taking months to get into my previous one. Since I’m not from San Diego I didn’t have a dermatologist and lucked out finding them on Google! I was able to get in within …
I absolutely love Dr. Willoughby! I am very insecure about my psoriasis and when he looks at my skin, he doesn’t give me a look of disgust. Which I assume is normal because he is a dermatologist but either way, he makes me feel like it’s …
Dr. Han is amazing. I have been to many dermatologists in San Diego trying to figure out how to get rid of a skin problem that has plaguing me for years. She was the first doctor to actually touch and closely examine the area affected and …
Amy and Daisy were outstanding. I had a procedure done and they took really great care of me. I would highly recommend them.
Great place and prices. They honor your appointment, so you don’t end up waiting an hour in the waiting room. The waiting room wasn’t full and my appointment went by efficiently. I love that you can schedule online it’s such a time saver. Did I mention the prices are great?:)
Dr Mafong is my go to dermatologist in San Diego. I’ve seen him for a wide range of medical and cosmetic needs and he’s always up front and clear about my options. I also love that he remembers me and personal stuff we talked about the last time I was in, even if that was a year and a half ago. Highly recommend him.
As Good as it Gets.
Dr. Willoughby is 2 for. 2 with me so far and is among the very best physicians I’ve met in 19 years in San Diego. A persistent lump on the forehead following a …
Erika is very knowledgeable about dermatology and skincare. She listens to my concerns and provided her recommendations on my treatment goals. I work with the public and being confident about my skin is important. Erika’s skill and training make her the ideal asset in putting your best face forward. I highly recommend her.
I would say everyone in the office is very friendly and Erika is a sweetheart!! She definitely listen to all my needs when it came to my acne and got me back on a regiment to clear up my skin. I highly recommend this place and ask for Erika when you make your appointment!
I just called to make an appointment for a skin cancer concern, and the receptionist was so rude and unwelcoming that I decided not to even give this place business. This place appears to be a great practice, but I recommend the first …
Dr. Han is a state-of-the-art dermatologist, A to Z ! She has it all ~
professional and skilled to the greatest degree possible …
Very convenient and easy experience! Affordable price (without insurance) and still a very quality, professional interaction. I would definitely recommend this place to my friends and I’ll be checking with them first on any future services I may need.
Any Ellsworth, PA, is outstanding! Efficient, reassuring, and even reached out to me for updates and info about upcoming treatment, which was super helpful. Have referred Amy to 2 others who describe her as “just lovely!.” The team there is quite fortunate to have you! Thanks!!
Dr. Amy Han is an angel. She’s always in a pleasant mood and never makes me feel rushed. Most importantly, she worked so hard for me when I battled with my insurance to get a medication approved. Today I was scheduled for 11:30 and their …
Dr. Han is terrific! I went in with a whole list of questions and concerns. She calmly and patiently addressed each issue and was respectful in doing a full body scan to rule out sun damage that needed treatment. I highly recommend this outstanding physician!
I paid 150 out of pocket for literally a 5 min conversation with dermatologist Courtney, I believe was her name. I have been struggling with bad acne and i asked her what was she going to do for me today (day of visit). Apparently I am …
excellent! I want to express my sincere appreciation for the professional care I was given by Ms. Calanni, its been a great experience under her care. All my needs are always taken cared of. Thank you to the staff there as well. Very friendly and welcoming.
Excellent experience for my first visit. Dr. Mafong and the physician’s assistant seemed professional and competent, and thorough and efficient. That’s exactly what I was thinking during my visit today to look at some suspicious moles and other skin concerns. I highly recommend.
Dr.Han was wonderful. I hadn’t seen a dermatologist in several years and was worried that I may have some form of skin cancer with a few spots on my hands. I was a new patient and she walked in and looked at my hands and gave me an exam …
It was my first time at this office and all of the staff was very nice and welcoming. I had gravel in my eyelid that was lasered out. Amy Ellsworth explained the procedure to me and made me feel comfortable. It was incredibly quick and …
Dr. Han is a wonderful practitioner who has treated my entire family for many years. She’s an excellent listener and provides top-notch care. She was referred to me by a good friend and I’ve referred her to others.
I called on Monday afternoon and was able to make an appointment for the next morning. I was a few minutes late to the appointment and they did not give me a hard time for that. While I was waiting to be called back, I received an email …
Always very satisfied with my visits to Dr. Mafong. He is quite knowledgeable and personable. Never feel rushed as he gives you his full attention and as much time as necessary to ask all questions. Highly recommend him as a physician.
$150 for an out of pocket consultation on some keloid scars, no thanks. At least the appointment scheduler volunteered the info beforeI scheduled the appointment. What a rip off
Everyone is so friendly, service is fast and easy. Easy to schedule appointment online.
As a new patient I felt welcome here. The receptionist as well as the medical assistants were friendly. The doctors assistant did a thorough check of my past medical history and current medications prior to seeing Doctor Willoughby. The …
Dr. Willoughby will take the best care of you. I cannot recommend him enough. He’s a great dermatologist. He is funny with excellent bedside manner. I was left with scars from a lesser skilled dermatologist. He’s the only one whose been able to reduce the scar. A trustworthy doctor who does beautiful work.
The Doctor has not yet sent to my pharmacy (Optumrx)the new prescriptions he prescribed for me… When does he plan on sending them???
My visit with Dr. Willoughby was quick, easy and painless. He listened, educated and did a great job executing a solution. I would highly recommend.
I would like to share that my experience here has been great. A few hiccups in the beginning, which, looking back may have been to adjusting to a new provider. However, I will say that I am satisfied with the care I have received and even …
The doctors here are always in a rush and not caring. I have given them multiple chances but this is my final straw. I had a staph infection which i tested positive for and nobody called me about it. I had been struggling with it for a …
Quick and efficient. Friendly doctor’s assistant. Dr. Mark Willoughby is clear and patient. He takes time to explain everything and also listens. Great doctor.
Mr. Mafong is a very nice doctor, I went there for some of my skin concerns, he was very honest and he does’t want you to spend the money that you don’t need to. Very ethical.
My friend recommended this place to me so I went here with full trust. But the front desk (a plumped white woman) had a really bad attitude and was lack of patience. My English is bad and she had a bad expression on her face. A potential racist.
Ashley is the best!! She listens and takes her time h with all of my questions and Derm needs. She is kind, sensitive and meticulous. I love her and highly recommend her to anyone who has issues with their skin and wants to stop the effect of aging.
Great staff. They were prompt to see me and the doctor explained everything well. I’d highly recommend.
Ok so we had an appointment for my husband two weeks ago and no one of the clinic bothered to confirm it, so We called them twice and left a voice mail for Dr.Eric and on the second day we went to the clinic and there was three assistants …
Dr. Willoughby listens to his patients, is very knowledgeable and will help you maintain your best quality care.
I’m sure the doctor’s are quite skilled, however, one may be lucky to get the time of day from anyone. Dr. Mafong is a friendly face with a smile, but one is rushed in and rushed out with little to no explanation or physician-patient …
Wouldn’t recommend. Poor communication to patients, lack of transparency, and there are much better run dermatology offices in San Diego. More of a headache to be a patient here than anything else due to how the office is run. Most of the PAs I saw were decent but the experience varied greatly.
Extremely professional, timely, and kind. Overall a great facility! I would recommend prospective patients read the profiles of the doctors when thinking about which medical professional would be best suited to give you advice and treatment …
