Dr Liss and assistant were courteous and informative. Took great care during my procedure making me comfortable and relaxed. Dr Liss was kind and answered all my concerns as well. Highly recommend California Skin and staff!

Kimberly gives amazing facials. My skin feels so much more healthy and glowing! She takes her time and listens to any concerns, a consummate professional! She is the best (and her skin looks amazing).

I've had two Mohs surgeries at CA Skin - both at the Monterey location and have been extremely happy with the outcome of both surgeries. The medical staff are all responsive and helpful and the surgeons are top shelf. And yes, like a few reviews mention, the furniture is dated and a few pieces worn. It is a large medical group with locations throughout California and I'm sure at some point they'll remodel. I suspect it is out of the hands of the local team. But I'm putting my welfare and serious medical care in their hands and I can't recommend them highly enough!

Mohs surgeries cut deep 😉 - and even a small spot can require a significant excision. I've put aside my vanity to share a few photos. I had a small spot on my upper cheek removed late spring and a similar sized spot removed on my forehead in late December. Both surgeries resulted in excisions that were larger than a nickel. You'll note the small white cross shape scar has healed nicely. The photo of my forehead was before the surgery, right after the surgery and two months after the procedure.

The skill of Dr. Crispin and her team resulted in removal of the skin cancer and I feel a minimal scar. Be prepared when you walk out - the Mohs does leave you with a significant set of sutures.

Dr. Crispin is well credentialed and was thorough in explaining and preparing me. She and her staff are personable and caring. The results of the surgery was outstanding. Dr Crispin and her team did an excellent job before, during and after.

With a pathology lab on site, both Mohs surgeries went much faster than they prepare you for.

I'm somewhat of a skin cancer connoisseur - an earlier life in the Alabama sun as a landscape contractor has me going in for screenings every three to six months and I've had experiences with six surgeons. Dr. Crispin is the best to date.

We often have to travel outside the Monterey Peninsula for top shelf medical care. We are lucky to have Dr. Crispin here in Monterey.

Wonderful dermatologists! Staff is very professional. They get you in and out in no time. We have a vacation house here and they do such a great job, we decided to keep them as our Dr.’s. It’s hard to find a good dermatologist anymore.

Dr. Liss made my daughter feel very comfortable during her appointment and provided helpful recommendations. He also took the time to explain treatment and side effects. We were very pleased and grateful!

Dr. Luchetti was very professional. Made me feel at ease, and aggressively froze off several precancerous growths. It is with a great feeling of relief this has been done! I'm very glad I made appointment and would highly recommend California Skin Institute and the staff there!

For a dozen years I have had great service by doctors and staff. However, all these years I have been disgusted by the long ago worn out carpet and shabby furniture which was overdue for change even when I first visited. It all seems clean and sanitary, but very off-putting. I would knock off 3 stars for that, but the doctors and staff deserve 5 stars.
