Dr Richardson is focused on diagnosed skin cancer. He is an expert in MOHS surgery. Eliminated my ear skin cancer quite easily and effectively. He takes pride in how you look after the surgery as well. My friends have also used his services and all of us are very happy with the results. The whole staff is excellent.

I have split my time between LA and the desert for the last 8 years. In that time I usually opted to see physians in LA, where I felt I was getting better care. That has changed dramatically recently whenI I was referred to Mirage Dermatology. Dr Richardson and everyone associated with him have provided care and concern above and beyond all of my expectations. Anyone in need of an oncological dermatologist need look no further; you could not be in better hands.

Dr. Richardson is the best! He removed a lypoma from my arm with just a tiny incision. I was in and out so quickly I was surprised. His staff is very efficient. I will return for any other skin issues he can treat.

I received Mohs surgery on my ear from Dr. Liasi yesterday, 9/16/25. First time seeing this new doctor. From a patient's perspective, she is very aloof, & lacks a show of concern. From a healthcare perspective, there is no follow thru. Example: Dr. Liasi prescribed an antibiotic to be used on my ear. Twenty-four hours later I check with my pharmacy & they did NOT receive a prescription for me. I contact Dr. Liasi's office and no one phoned it in! Finally, it's called in but prescription is on back order for another 24 hours... read more

Worthless from start to finish. You'd be better off attempting to treat yourself. There's really nothing to say except that the patient is not treated well and you can't get results from biopsies in a decent period of time.

Tried calling to make an appointment to see a dermatologist to have something checked. Was told I needed a referral. I have been going to dermatologists for years and have never needed a referral. I know my skin and when I need a dermo. Why must I pay to see a GP first to tell me what I already know?

Third time was the charm. Finally found the perfect one! Top priority is your health. No cosmetics up-sell, unlike Contour or West Dermatology. Very friendly and efficient staff. Extremely pleased to have been referred to Dr. Richardson.

I had a very positive experience with the Institute. Dr. Kamell was thorough, kind and supportive. The support staff are organized, courteous and professional. A very impressive operation. Thank you Skin Institute!

Appointment took 4 minutes and 32 seconds. My wife timed it. He did a very quick scan of the entire body, he froze a couple of solar keratosis and was gone. Poof. Visit was billed out at $560. It is reasonable to expect a more thorough exam and some insights on skin care especially at this price point. High end pricing with mediocre experience.
