Why, oh why, does yelp not have zero stars. I have never left a review despite having frequented many businesses, but this office is so thoroughly bad, I had to. I brought my son here for severe acne and he was seen by the PA. She came in and literally glanced at him and said "you can go on this which might not work or this- which do you want to do". When I started to ask a question, she actually interrupted before I finished and said "those are your options". I won't even go into the rigamarole we had with the prescription ... read more

Dr. Crockett is GREAT!! I have been getting Dysport at a place in Livermore that I loved, but my girl there left. I found another place in San Ramon off a friend's suggestion and although the dr was nice, my end result wasn't too great. I had one serious Joker eyebrow! I tried to get them to fix it and they couldn't get me in for TWO WEEKS! There was no way I could continue hiding my eyebrow with my hair for that long! I called all around and finally found CSI in Castro Valley and they got me in quickly. I met with Dr Crocke... read more

Worst healthcare experience I've had. Impersonal. Apathetic. And money grubbing. 1. Prescribed me all the most expensive non-generics...one that gave me a rash that Crockett told me to wait out. 2. They don't return your calls. Even if your infection will get worse if youre off antibiotics or if you got the wrong medication. Nurse took no responsibility and apathetically said "I didnt get his call". They all of a sudden can call you to book appointments and confirm them. Theyll break promises to call you back the same day. C... read more

My in-office experience was fine. They need to fix their billing. What's the point of leaving a card on file if they keep sending 3 bills over 2 months in the mail that say at the bottom that if you left a card on file to disregard the bill. Then they never charge the card and keep sending you bills in the mail, never answer phone calls or return messages. So I just paid the $25 online.

I went there because i have a bad adult acne. Doctor Joel Crockett was very helpful, He listened and gave his professional advice! Beside that, the staff were very friendly and has a smile on their faces which i loved to see. Even though i was 15min late for the appointment, i didn't have to wait long to see the doctor. I definitely recommend doctor Joel to everyone who have any skin problem.

Dr.Crockett was a great listener and he delivered. Not only does he give his professional advice but he also listened to your needs. I tried the Juvederm filler for the first time and loved it. Thank you again Dr. Crockett

Not sure why the negative yelp reviews. I have been to four different California Skin Institute offices. I liked this one the best. The office staff was friendly and efficient. I was offered coffee or water when I checked in...a first from any medical office in my experience. Joel Crockett was the doctor who examined me. Very nice guy-pleasant and professional-good communicator. Parking is a little tight...narrow spacing and few open, but the office Is easily accessible.

I almost never leave bad reviews but in this case I feel it is needed. I asked them to tell me my copay for an elective procedure so I could decide whether to do it-front desk assured me only the $30 copay. I later got a bill for $235...their accounting dept didn't bother returning my calls to make sure this wasn't an error...so I finally ended up paying the full balance minus the $30 late fees out of principle...they've now turned that $30 over to collections...totally crazy. I spoke to someone who said there is nothing the... read more

The doctor here is so rude and condescending. If you like being spoken to as if you are a complete imbecile, if you like being seen by a person who clearly feels she is superior to you in every way, and lets you know that with every word, expression and even body language, this is the place for you. She seems to think that her time is so very valuable and that simply because she is a *gasp* DOCTOR she is far more important than you. She is rude and without class. Class is not how much money you have, or what you wear. It is... read more
