(Translated by Google) It is the first time that I am going to leave a comment in my life and it is for this dermatologist, maybe he is good in his profession but he is a rude person, and he does not explain anything to you, he just comes and does a biopsy and you ask him for something else something that worries you and he answers that next time or that if you are going to pay for the rest that he does to you in a horrible tone, I don't know if it's racist. Totally angry and disappointed, I do not recommend it, the staff is friendly, but it is RECOMMENDED!!!! (Original) Es la primera vez que voy a dejar un comentario en mi vida y es para este dermatólogo tal vez sea bueno en su profesión pero es una persona grosera, y no te explica absolutamente nada, solo llega te hace la biopsia y le preguntas por alguna otra cosa que te preocupa y te contesta que la próxima vez o que si tú vas a pagar por lo demás que te haga en un tono horrible, no sé si es racista. Totalmente enojada y desepcionada, no lo recomiendo, el personal es amable, pero es RRECOMENDABLE!!!!

I remember coming here for a cancer screening and they rushed me, had terrible bedside manor and did absolutely nothing except visually check my skin for moles. I feel like this place tries to be a boutique like place you go to for Botox rather than a place you go for cancer. I would not go back, in fact my primary care Dr tried to send me again years later and I got a new refferal elsewhere.

I NEVER write reviews. I hate to sound like a Karen. But all the bad reviews I’ve seen on here are EXTREMELY accurate. You have an appointment at 9am. And you don’t get seen until 10am. And when you DO get seen. It’s for like 5 min. tops. This doctor doesn’t care. He barely talks to you let alone even looks at you. And just keeps making follow up appointments do do the exact thing over and over again. No compassion, very rude. I highly believe that this has been my worst “doctor” experience I’ve ever had in my entire life.

My son is autistic, blind and developmentally delayed. Dr Stein and his staff are the best! Ben loves going there because everyone is so nice!

❌STAY AWAY FROM THIS PLACE ❌ I have pictures and videos to prove what they done to my face ???? If you want burnt face, acid peels that don’t work but you have to pay for a package deal that’s almost $200 that’s none refundable. Can’t speak to your doctor about items he prescribe that burns you up and can get no replacement for it besides stop using it but you already paid almost $60 for the bottle. Nurse with not enough knowledge no one is professional the doctor won’t see you unless you pay him more money even if HE did something wrong you still have to pay! on one knows what they doing. They just want people money they don’t care for or about you or the problem you came with I wish I could give them no stars! Please listen to me do not make an appointment for this place ever ! U will regret it find a better dermatologist in San Diego please ❌STAY AWAY FROM THIS PLACE ❌ I have pictures and videos to prove what they done to my face ???? … More

Recently had a concern with some sun damage on my face. Dr. Stein was very knowledgeable and very professional. He was able to figure out what precautions and what therapies I needed to fix my sun damaged skin. Awesome staff as well...Mija was also very helpful in trying to fit me into the schedule so that way I can see Dr. Stein before I head out of town.

Overall really bad experience no communication. I was in a really bad bus accident and have wounds he was doing biopsy’s scraping with a blade no anesthesia and wouldn’t even speak to me how my wounds are doing.I’m very traumatize with the care

Good Doctor very knowledgable but dosent spend much time or explain things. But expect to wait over 30min to be checked in. And be prepared to spend over 1 hour here for 3-5 with the doctor. Its not a wonder he schedules appointments from 9am and arrives at 9:30 i know there's times when people are late or don't show up.

OMG❗️PLEASE ????STAY AWAY FROM THIS PLACE ‼️ The office manager is rude, they don’t answer your questions, the Dr ignores you, walks out on you and has a hard time addressing your skin care needs. This office is Unscrupulous. you call and leave messages and they never answer, they cancel your appointment on the day of and time of your visit, the office is very DIRTY, they leave open syringes and containers in the patient rooms, there is dust everywhere and a bad order when you walk in. And when I complained they told me they couldn’t take me anymore because of the bad review I wrote!

They take extra biopsies of you without explanation what that's for. I just wanted to have a lipoma removed, but they took samples of other parts of me (which involves poking sharply). Subsequently this led to extra appointments where this meant I had a low probability of skin cancer (which they exaggerated). And then when my lipoma was removed an ugly scar was left - it wasn't that careful and the removal removed extra tissue. They take extra biopsies of you without explanation what that's for.

Great Experience!!! Dr Stein does the amazing “fabulous” job. The Laser Skin treatment is MAGIC...

All of Dr. Steins Staff are Kind, Understanding, Puts You At Ease, Greets You With a Smile Professionals. Dr. Stein is a Remarkable Doctor and I Feel I'm in Excellent Hands, Along With All of Dr. Steins Other Patient's, Who I Am Sure, Feel the Same Way ❤️

I went to here to get a dark spot on my face removed. I hated seeing the mark in the mirror every day. Dr. Stein is talented doctor he was able to remove the dark spot and he also found and completed a biopsy on a potential cancerous mole. I really appreciate what he did for me.

Very professional place, Great staff and the manager is always very helpful and polite. Definitely recommend this dermatologist you will get treated with respect and your time will always be valued. A big plus for me was that they always work with your schedule.

Dr. Stein and his staff are very professional. My experience at his office was exceptional. As a person with multiple skin issues, I am relieved to have found a specialist who can treat my conditions. I will continue going to Dr. Stein for all my dermatology needs. Thank you Dr. Stein and your staff!

I am so thankful for Dr. Stein. He is very kind and informative. The procedures I had caused zero pain. I went in for something totally different but he ended up finding some precancerous spots and removing them, thank God. My skin has improved so much because of him.

Last month, I visited Stein Dermatology for dermatology evaluation due to my nose and forehead lesion. I could tell Dr. Stein was extremely knowledgeable and intelligent. He immediately noticed what I had on my nose at the first sight. As he explained, my biopsy result turned out as skin cancer. Then I was swiftly scheduled for the excision right after the biopsy result came out and I'm already cancer free! His excision was very impressive. He was extremely fast and experienced. He not only removed cancer cells but also reconstructed with a perfection so honestly my nose looks better than ever and I am very happy with the result. I can't thank Dr. Stein enough and I truly believe that he is the most skilled and great surgeon and doctor that I have met in my life. Plus he has a great sense of humor and I always enjoy seeing him. Looking forward to my next visit to Stein dermatology.

This office is absolutely amazing! I only waited 5 mins in the waiting room and stuffs were friendly and efficient. Dr. Stein is excellent dermatologist. He is very knowledgeable and professional. He made a quick but informed diagnosis of my case. Great experience. I would definitely recommend him!

I have 5 different specialist, I’ve seen all types of medical professionals and he’s by far the worst.

Waited 45mns to be called and when I went up front to tell them I had to go because I had to be somewhere else, the lady had the nerve to tell me that there was going to be a charge. Really? Also, i feel they double book because theres no way there is that many patients waiting all the time. Also, doc performs biopsy on every little thing and dont ask if I agree upon it or not. He refuse to refill any kind of prescription I ask for, its always... on your next appt but then he refuses to listen when I am there. No more for me.

I took my son in for a checkup on his face the doctor was very rude did not answer my questions on the procedure walked away while I was asking about it. The staff is nice and dedicated they try but without a good doctor this place really it's a waste of time. I really felt that they tried to make the most appointments so they can get more money from the insurance they don't really care about your time and will not hesitate to make an appointment even if they can call you and solve the matter by phone, they want you to come in. If I could give this doctor a 0 * rating I would unfortunately I have to give him one this doctor is that one doctor that I would never recommend.

Yuo have an appointment be ready for 1hr of waiting after the hour of your appointment good doctor,bad service too much waiting,not enough chairs to sit.

I thought they were fine. I had a procedure done and it went well. Everyone was friendly enough and professional. Patients in the office love him. I have no complaints and I have been other places I definitely would not recommend. I won't mention who they are. I'm happy with Dr Stein!

Good experience Dr got straight to the point And answered all my questions

My primary care doctor referred me to Dr. Stein's clinic the mole on my lower back became bigger and bigger. Even though the clinic was very crowded, I was able to check in less than 10 mins which is not bad at all for me as he seemed to be very busy and popular dermatologist in the area. Dr. Stein started to see my abnormal mole and completed biopsy within 5 mins and also treated other moles on my back with liquid nitrogen then explained about his procedures and treatment. At the beginning I was pretty nervous about biopsy but everything was so smooth and fast. One week later, my biopsy result turned out as pre cancerous then I was booked for surgery the following week. The surgery was also very fast and smooth. It took less than 15 mins and I was impressed by Dr. Stein's amazing job. He is such a gifted wonderful doctor and I feel so fortunate that I got treated by Dr.Stein! Very professional. Highly recommended! My primary care doctor referred me to Dr. Stein's clinic the mole on my lower back became bigger and bigger.

Unorganized, unethical, and pure garbage.

Highly unethical, unproffesional and malpractice!

Dr. Stein is horrible on my last visit he refused to talk to me and hid behind a wall and I had to yell at him to come out and talk to me, he did not respond and his staff looks like they hate him. He also berated his staff in front of me which I think is the worst. He refused to do a complete exam instead he just wanted to remove one thing and then bring me back, he would never do a complete exam. that's all I was requesting was a complete exam so that if we do need to remove something we can remove them all at once instead of back and forth and back and forth. I feel that's unethical. also he has a sign in sheet with everyone's name on it which is a violation of your privacy. He's a coward and a poor excuse for a doctor I'm surprised he even practices if he doesn't like communicating with his patients why is he doing this? I'm not going to keep driving to Chula Vista for patchwork from a doctor who won't even answer my questions or spend time on me Dr. Stein is horrible on my last visit he refused to talk to me and hid behind a wall and I had to yell at him to come out and talk to me, he did not respond and his staff looks like they hate him.

Worst experience with a medical professional in my life. Dr. Stein was the most unethical, deceitful doctor I've ever had. - Constant soliciting of unnecessary treatment - Scoffed at me when I refused - Crazy amounts of sketchy paperwork - Highly disorganized staff with multiple appointments scheduled at the same time I was forced to sign a document saying that I have the right to refuse treatment, but let me tell you the doctor and medical assistant double team you and give you little room to refuse. If you are the type to avoid confrontation, you will be abused! Worst experience with a medical professional in my life.

Great doctor, the best , really listens and addresses my questions or concerns. The staff is very nice & caring. The office has a oriental theme i find pleasing and attractive as well as functional. A+????

Had to fill out inordinate amounts of paperwork and deal with disorganized staff only to be treated like a guinea pig. Dr. Stein did not show any care for my issues and kept soliciting unnecessary treatment such as mole biopsies and facials. Worst part is he didn't even tell me what he was doing, so I naively agreed assuming it was harmless. WRONG. He mutilated me. When I refused further unnecessary treatment, he scoffed at me. Doesn't even wire prescriptions to the pharmacy either. Horrible Dr.

I have been treating with Dr. Stein for several months now, and I think he is an excellent doctor. He and his staff are prompt and professional.

Very happy with the service thus far- after 2 visits.
