I can't even begin to say how thankful and grateful I am for this tremendous team. They were just so professional and kind at the same time. They help me feel at ease. The team always made sure I was comfortable and given the knowledge I needed. They always made me feel my care was the most important. Taking time to explain and help me ever step. I love the progress and can't say how grateful for finding such a great staff. Thank you!

Mary kates alright. Rest of the staff are rude and condescending, very unacceptable behavior for a professional environment. Not that you could expect anything less these days. I think these "healthcare heroes" here are really slaves to the drug companies anyway, just out for their 30 pieces of silver.

Where do I start , great staff , great atmosphere, friendly people and very professional. I am currently in the sweat study they are offering , although it is a volunteer study the compensation is very reasonable. If you have Hidrosis this place is for you .. highly recommend it , me and one of my close friends are in the study and the women in the office treat us great ..... make sure when you sign up you tell them the king of Hidrosis sent you , they will know who it is

I've had the most accommodating and reassuring experience with participating in a clinical study. Everyone is treated professionally, welcoming and open manner. Anyone who is interested in participating or finding more information about clinical studies should, not only, consider, but also, contact this location.

I've been with the California Dermatology and Clinical Research Institute as a patient in one of their Phase III clinical research studies for Atopic Dermatitis. Dr. Smith and the entire staff are extremely professional, friendly and courteous. All of my questions and concerns were addressed, and I am very pleased with the level of care I've received. As another reviewer mentioned, the Physician Assistant deserves extra kudos (is there a 10-star rating?). She is AMAZING, and everything you would want in a health care provider: compassionate, brilliant and knowledgable. I would not

I have been coming to this clinic for over 5 years now for my psoriasis and I have nothing but good things to say. Dr Smith and his staff are very polite and helpful and I always have a good experience here!
If you have ever thought about being part of a clinical study then this is where you should go!

Volunteering for experimental medical studies conjures images seen in many horror movies especially to a first timer. Dr Smith and his staff thought it was funny when I asked them if I would have some crazy side effects like growing a tail. I'm on my second study with them and have been taken well care of from start to finish. And of course my eczema has been very manageable.
Im confident to know they will take care of me in case I have a question or something comes up....like growing a tail! Just to be clear nothing like that has ever happened.

5 YELP STARS for this dermatology clinic. They see a lot of patients plus do clinical research studies. The employees are efficient and pleasant while Dr. Smith is a cordial and extremely well-versed in all the latest procedures to help one's skin thrive. The offices are nice and kept cool with air-conditioning on the toasty day I visited. It is conveniently located directly next to a Wellness Center where I noticed plenty of North County beautiful (& well-preserved) people) dashing in and out.
I did have a little trouble initially finding California Dermatology, as it was down a hill
