Dr. Bhatia was very kind and provided a non-judgemental atmosphere where I felt comfortable sharing my needs with him. I've been taking the prescribed topical solutions for my scalp issue for the past few days and have been recovering very quickly. I appreciated that he gave samples in the office so I could start treatment right away while waiting for the prescriptions to be filled.

Dermatology: Neal Bhatia, MD
Dermatologist in San Diego.
This is the most outstanding practice I have come across. Starting with the way my appointment was made to the day I was seen. I have had very bad experiences with my last dermatology when a Dr went and did a write up to over charge me over 500 dollars for doing nothing for me. Dr. Neal Bhatia took responsibility for that bad apple and provided me with what I needed to start my care. Thank you very much to you and your team.

Both Marc and Dr. Bhatia were thorough and knowledgeable. They both had extensive experience with treating eczema. Geri was kind and thoughtful in the front.

Having complications with my skin has been difficult, and often times very overwhelming. I have gone to several dermatologists, but new to San Diego and visited Therapeutics Derm for the first time today. The staff and the doctor were all very friendly, knowledgeable, professional and helpful. They were thorough, took the time to answer all the questions I had, and I felt very confident leaving the office today. Highly recommend.

I've seen a few dermatologists in San Diego and Dr. Bhatia is hands down the best. I've never had to wait more than 5 minutes to be seen, and the staff is extremely friendly and helpful. Dr. Bhatia saw me quickly, and provided multiple options and treatment paths.

Incredible first-time experience at this clinic. Dr. Bhatia is an exceptional doctor with a consistent patient bed-side manner. If you want to be taken care of, look no further than Dr.Bhatia and his great team. For perspective, I am the typical "google-self diagnosis anxiety ridden" patient that doctors often fear nowadays. I came in with a host of emotions wrapped up in my symptomatology. Dr. Bhatia took me seriously, I felt well listened to, and genuinely taken care of. I plan to continue my care here.

I've had psoriasis for several years. I've been treated for it at Therapeutics. The personnel have been very helpful. My last treatment didn't go as we all hoped it would be. But I don't blame Dr. Bhatia. The drug (if that is what it was) merely made my condition worse. It improved when I switched to the drug Dr. Huang had prescribed for me a few years before.
