Laser Skin Care Center

Came here to see Dr. DeLuca to have some skin tags removed. Her price was the best I could find and she came highly recommended by mom who recently visited her for the same thing. She was running behind on her patients and I ended up having to wait over an hour to see her, which was quite unpleasant. However, she was very apologetic and she was so thorough and took her time. I appreciated her not making me feel rushed even though she was so behind. She was so friendly and I will definitely be seeing her for all my future dermatology needs.

I have gone to this group for many years for Laser and seen at least 5 different doctors over the years with very mixed experiences. I never review doctors groups on Unilocal.If I don’t like a group I just find another as I am a pharmacist and usually have better information than most on who is best in the area, however my last experience was so bad that it deserved a thoughtful review.
Over the years I’ve noticed a huge turn over in this group. Just about the time I find one I like they are gone which I’ve found very frustrating.
I was sent to the group with great reviews years ago and overall despite the high turn over I have been happy with the results with laser for my Rosacea.
However, I did see Glassberg once for laser and he was rough and left a small scar on my face. I picked another doctor for the next treatment whom I liked, but was gone before my next appointment.
I had a significant skin infection that I came to see them for in September 2015. I made an appointment at their new offices. I had to come back at least 3 – 4 times because the treatments weren’t working and they weren’t sure what was causing the lesions on my face, arms torso. I saw Dr. DeLuca whom I really liked, but wasn’t getting results. She called in Dr. Kane for a consult and I was looking forward to meeting her as she heads the group.
I was shocked at how rude and condescending Dr. Kane was, especially to another healthcare professional.
I’ve worked for many years in research with doctors of many different specialties and I must say I was very unimpressed with her and she is one of the rudest doctors I’ve ever worked with and trust me when I say I’ve worked with a few very rude, egotistical ones as well as many great ones.
You couldn’t pay me to see Dr. Kane again for any complicated or significant dermatological problem.
Do yourself a favor and make the drive to the Dermatology group at Scripp’s Clinic in La Jolla for excellent care.
This group is fine for simple, cosmetic dermatology if you do not mind having a revolving door of dermatologists treating you. I would go back to see Dr. DeLuca for laser, however Dr. Kane left such a bad impression that I doubt I would go back when there are so many other good dermatology groups available.

Best care for the entire family! We have been patients here for the past 15 years and I have always been extremely pleased with the quality of care and professionalism. Dr. Joanna Chan is THE BEST!!!

I didn’t set an appointment here although the receptionist, Gina, was amazingly thorough and helpful. It’s not often Dr offices are familiar w other Dr offices and their health plans to refer patients but this experience was a good one. If they’re that sharp just from a call, imagine the quality above this. I was impressed. I love good customer service!

I had a good experience coming here. Maybe it helps to have a morning appointment because I did not have to wait long at all. I saw Dr. Anne Marie Tremaine. She listened, took time to talk, and it didn’t feel rushed. The only thing I thought about afterwards was that when I have seen other dermatologists they have looked over my face with one of those lights to see if there were any problem areas or concerns. She didn’t do this, but her recommendations to help me clear up my skin were very helpful and I have had minimal breakouts since. I really want to go back for botox now!

Since my last post, I have visited this wonderful skin care group for other treatments and they exceed my expectations!
They are a highly recommended quality skin care medical group! Excellent physicians who deliver the best treatment with a caring heart! The entire office including doctors, RN’s, medical assistants and ancillary staff are wonderful — they make you feel very comfortable from the moment you walk through the door. Their beautiful new office is modern, elegant and extremely high-​tech.
I became a new patient about a year ago at their former location on LB Blvd. Dr. Chan is my main doctor but I have seen Dr. Tremaine too. Both physicians gave excellent screenings, gave detailed communication for every step of treatment and there were no surprises. My skin is in wonderful condition, thanks to them.
One of my skin conditions is Psoriasis. Their incredible laser technology therapy brought my 25-​year battle of Psoriasis to a halt! I was skeptical at first, but it works and I am Psoriasis free! Their Registered Nurse, Polly has advanced training in laser technology (Psoriasis and other issues). She is my skin-​savior and I am no longer embarrassed by my Psoriasis patches. For the first summer in a long time, I’m showing skin!
This first-​class medical group usually can get busy, however the longest wait time I’ve experienced has been 10 – 15 minutes.
This group is one of the best around! They have all the latest treatments for almost anything. I’ve recommended them to two friends, and they feel the same way!

Dr. Joanna Chan is the best! She helped clear up my facial rash before my wedding. She was kind, compassionate, thorough, and respectful of my time. I would definitely recommend her to friends and family in need of dermatologic care.

I love Dr. Joanna Chan.. .because of her, my skin now looks amazing! I am so thankful I found her!
Dr. Chan is a graduate of both Stanford & Harvard.. . so when you go to Dr. Chan, you know you’re going to the best! I’ve seen Dr. Chan for both medical (acne) and cosmetic issues (botox, fillers, lasers, etc). Results are amazing every time!
Dr. Chan is excellent not just because of her knowledge & skills but also because of her kind heart. She truly cares about her patients. She’s very approachable and always makes me feel at ease. I trust her and only her with all my skin care needs. I really don’t know where I would be without her.

Had an eyelid surgery and a Fraxil (?) where they shoot a laser on your facial skin and it peels off a few layers. Results were fantastic and I can’t more highly recommend Dr. Chan and her staff.

Both my husband and I have been patients of this medical center for more than 15 years, and we both love the professional treatment we receive. I see Dr Kane who takes the time to examine my cancer– prone skin with incredible detail. The procedures she has recommended and performed have probably saved my life. Dr Glassberg has removed squamous cells and basal cells from various parts of my body and performed MOHs cancer diagnosis right in the office. I love these guys!

Extremely knowledgable and caring doctors! Highly recommended for all your skin care needs! ;)

Worst experience I have ever had in a medical office. I was made to wait an hour after my appointment time. I was lied to twice about my appointment time and then when I brought this to their attention, I was just put in another room to wait longer. I had to leave before I was even seen so I went to the receptionist to make sure I would not be billed and I was not apologized to. They did not try to fix it on the spot, she just said she would make sure I wasn’t billed. During this time, the doctor I was supposed to see came out and asked if she could take my appointment then. I unfortunately had to leave since it was over an hour after my scheduled appointment time! This was the worst experience I have ever had in a medical office and the worst customer service I’ve ever received and the worst blatant disrespect for my time. These people should not be in business.

I have been seeing Dr. Kane since I was pretty much born — my mom has been seeing her for over 25 years. She is a caring doctor and treats us like family, and is always so happy to see us. She has an eagle’s eye when it comes to my skin and she has been able to catch many of my moles that need to be removed before they spread. Although the wait time can get long on some visits, my family is willing to sacrifice that knowing that we are receiving the highest quality care from Dr. Kane.

Dr. Joanna Chan is an excellent physician. She provided me a prompt consultation for a problematic skin lesion and offered me not only a preliminary diagnosis, but also options for next steps. I could choose a biopsy and/​or two potential treatments. She then offered her assessment of the risks and benefits of each, including possible consequences of the treatment unique to my skin type and ethnic heritage. Finally, she was concerned enough about what was best for me that she was even willing to recommend another dermatologist who would be closer to where I live. Dr. Chan is knowledgeable, trustworthy, kind, and a superb communicator, who genuinely cares about her patients’ well-​being and ability to make informed choices. I will definitely return to Dr. Chan — she is worth driving for!

I went to see dr Joanna chan for fillers. She did an amazing job using a soft substance called hyaluronic acid (?) in my deep tear troughs to make me look refreshed she warned me that I could bruise but I had zero bruising! Even better the result is very soft subtle and natural.
Thank u dr chan !

Dr. Kane does the most thorough skin examinations I have ever experienced. She really takes her time with patients and has been in the community for several decades. She has caught many skin cancers among my friends at an early stage, saving their lives. I have also had the opportunity to see other associates at the office for procedures and my experiences have been excellent.
The new location is amazing! It’s brand new and in Douglas Park. The practice has acquired several new lasers and devices for hair removal safe for darker patients like me, and several effective non invasive anti aging procedures … because who has downtime for that stuff? I also love their skin care product lines, their aesthetician and their new cosmetic consultant Carime who met me for free and told me what I could do to improve my skin.
I totally trust my skin cancer screen and the well trained — even cosmetic fellowship trained ! —- dermatologists with my elective procedures. I would never go a medi spa and let any random injector near my face.

The doctors are very through and very knowledgable but have never seen the doctor even close to my scheduled appointment time. Be prepared to wait 20 – 50 minutes past your scheduled appointment time for the doctor.
Best if you can try to be the first appointment of the day.
The doctors are very good 5 stars but my time is just as important as theirs.

Dr. Joanna Chan, receives the 5 Stars rating and Laser Skin Care Center is fortunate to have on staff, a knowledgable; highly intelligent; caring & concerned adult; with tremendous likability. She has been my favorite care provider for five years — from her down-​to-​earth patient approach to her mild mannered methods — she cares and shows concern. We aren’ talking icing here. But more, the counseling; post-​op wound care; stable laser hands; and skill injecting botox, juvederm; and sculptra aesthetic. Her insistence, sometimes after office hours and over weekends, remind this bruiser to avoid aspirin and ingest arnicare — she truly is committed to improving her patient’s health and their strong, positive outlook.
Her wisdom is beyond Harvard Teachings & Fellowship Hands-​On Training but in genuine and not rushed, examinations and consultations. She alone identified on my head, and strongly suggested surgical removal of a congenital epithelial cyst,. A growth many other Doctors over years hadn’t diagnosed.
Laser Skin Care isn’t all about cosmetic but genuine and professional patient wellness. It is unfortunate that some see it as a spa and the medical trained professionals as beauticians. They deserve recognition for the esteem degrees they have earned.

Excellent Practice! Dr. Kane has an excellent bedside manner. She removed my biopsy with practiced ease. The new location is absolutely marvelous. A truly wonderful experience.
