Comment: This is the first time I saw a Dermatologist! After over 2 weeks wait, I was finally seen by Dr. Chaney, who was very knowledgeable friendly and experienced. After a short examination confirmed its Seborrheic dermatitis like I read on WebMD, based on my symptoms. The staff was very helpful, friendly and efficient, speeding up my registration. Surprised I was able to find a parking spot easily. I would definitely recommend Dr. Chansky to everyone!

Comment: The doctors and people who work here are nice and provide good medical services but they are consistently 30 minutes minimum behind schedule. Today I sat in a waiting room for 40 mins. And that is after I went to the wrong office because no one told me my rescheduled appointment was to a different office. Even when I show up extremely early to my appointments I am still waiting forever

But, the front office staff was able to get me an appointment today.Nikki Melet PA-C was terrific. She described how she could help me, what procedures she was going to use, and the results I could expect. Very pleasant and efficient.

Comment: CSI offers care and treatment for all needs. They’re extremely friendly and Nikki Melet is da bomb!!! She’s been caring for my daughter and I for several years—me as a red haired fair skinned Brit in need of regular skin checks; my daughter for severe acne during her teenage years. We continue to see her now every 6 months for checks ins. We’re in and out if we need to be or if we have questions or concerns Nikki will always take the time. She feels like a friend at this point. She recognizes us in the waiting room, remembers our names, our family. I highly recommend her and the entire practice.

Comment: Made an appointment here, changed my schedule, fought traffic on a weekday morning only to find, on my arrival, that the person who took my appointment failed to tell me they didn’t take my insurance. It was their mistake as I’d given them my insurance information, but the office manager refused to be accountable. Either I could pay their out-of-network price or leave. Seems to me like they should have honored the appointment.

Comment: I have thoroughly enjoyed working with Dr. Chansky and the staff at CSI. Dr. Chansky is incredibly compassionate, charming, and direct. He always answers my questions with patience and grace (even if they’re related to things I’ve read on the skincare sub reddit :p ). It’s very empowering to replace fear with knowledge—if you’re fed up with the state of your skin, I highly encourage working with Dr. Chansky.

Comment: Dr. Hsiao is excellent. My now deceased husband was a patient of Dr. Hsiao at California Skin Institute for many years. So in turn I now needed to have a small basal cell removed from my nostril. In my case I required a MOS Micrographic and Reconstructive Surgery which happened to need a small skin graft at the end.Dr. Hsiao is excellent in his procedure. I was kept informed of what he was doing and what would be happening next, always attentive and concerned about my comfort level during the process. The staff and nurses were very courteous and adept with their assistance.I most highly recommend California Skin Instituteand the practice ofDr. Francis Hsiao, MD, PhDSincerely,Michael WalkerRohnert Park, CA.

Comment: The Physicians and clinical staff are stellar and amazing and apparently they’ve changed out the one front desk person who did not meet the same standard. She was rude and insulting in her tone of voice. So, if that’s true, then this is the greatest place. I see two doctors here who are both amazing and the new front desk staff are very polite and helpful. I’ll write again after my next visit. Hopefully that one woman doesn’t return. 5 stars now!

Comment: Im not sure what happened today with the service provided by the person at the reception desk. I have always had a good experience in the past, but this is the first time seeing her at this office. It seems that she would benefit from additional training on customer service. Ive been coming to this office for two years and only for the initial appointments I had to obtain approval from my primary care provider. She asked me for the referral form and I told her that I was previously told that I didnt need one every time that I come in. She didnt like my objection and told me that in the future I needed to have one. I said okay and went to sit down. As I was walking away she turned to the other person sitting next to her, behind the desk, and said theres some weird energy here today. I felt alluded by her comment because I was the only patient there at 9am and it felt like she wanted me to hear her. I will give her the benefit of the doubt and let it go this time, but the interaction made the visit unpleasant.

Comment: Making an appointment was easy, and the staff member helping me was not only resourceful but friendly. Treatment by Nicki was as always superb. But it took some time for the office to reopen after its lunch break, and the front desk person was more concerned with her computer than with my presence. If you can train people to be very polite on the phone, you can train them to welcome patients, especially after a delay.

Comment: I started seeing Dr. Chansky for general dermatology. In my initial visits with him, I was impressed by his attentiveness and tableside manner during a full-body mole check and skin care regimen review. Love his simple and science-based recommendations to make me look young forever!More recently, he was able to give me a same-day appointment when I was concerned I might have Shingles (on my face, oh no!!). He quickly assessed me, got me started on anti-viral treatment, and referred me to an ophthalmologist. He even called me after office hours on a Friday night (on his way to dinner) to give me an update on test results and check on me. Thanks to his quick action, the Shingles outbreak was mild AND did not spread into my optic nerve/eye. How many dermatologists help save your vision, too? I highly recommend him!

Before, I felt like seeing a dermatologist was so hard and wait times were so far out that no real progress could be made. But, after seeing Dr. Chansky, I am so encouraged by the progress Ive made in such a short period of time.Also, Dr. Chansky explains everything so clearly, finds me a deal when he can, and checks in on follow-ups.Cant recommend them enough.

Comment: Excellent visit with Dr. Chansky!I’ve been having some really bad dry skin around my mustache and scalp and decided to visit a Dermatologist. I got an appointment here and was very satisfied with the care I received. The office was clean, organized,and all of the staff I interacted with- from the front desk to the assistant in the room with me- were very courteous and respectful. Dr. Chansky didn’t make me feel rushed, took his time to explain everything and allowed a moment address some questions I had. As a minority, I’m very conscious and aware how I’m being treated- particularly in healthcare and I can say with confidence this doctor was awesome! Will certainly recommend him and this office to everyone I know. You got anything going on with your skin, go check them out. Thank you Dr. Chansky and Team!

Comment: I had my first and last appointment with this company after receiving “care” from Peter Chansky. He has a Horrible, Antagonistic attitude. So Egotistical. I visited his office already having a diagnosis of my skin disease, as I have been getting treatment for this issue for over a decade. I expressed that I was hoping to try something different than what I’ve tried the past 10 years. I told him that my skin disease had been plaguing my hairline, eye brows, glabella, the sides of my nose, and the center of my chest. He ignored all that, then spent the entire appointment playing in my hair, looking through my scalp, offering treatment for my scalp. I never mentioned issues with my scalp! Was he even listening?? No care for the customer. No efforts to provide relief. I felt like an item on a conveyer belt on a factory line. They only schedule 15 minute appointments; in and out; NEXT. Guess I was too human for him. He became apparently upset and offended when I attempted to provide medical history that could’ve helped inform our treatment plan. I kept telling him that I had already unsuccessfully tried the treatment plan he was trying to push on me. He argued me up and down that I haven’t used the products (which I’ve used for over a decade) at the frequency he was going to prescribe them. I told him repeatedly that I had, and wanted to try something different. But he was hell bent on treating me like a first time visitor at a dermatology office. He proceeded going on about his “professional opinion” as if I had accused him of not being educated. Then with the nastiest antagonistic attitude he aggressively asked me, “what can I do for you sir?” I couldn’t understand how me providing my medical history irked him so much. Again, all I did was try to help him, help me, by providing information that could help us not waste time trying things I already tried. Guess he wanted to milk as many wasted paid visits and prescriptions out of me as he could. In his “professional opinion”. A “professional doctor” wouldn’t throw a tantrum like he had. So Immature. Had no skills in deescalating the tension HE created! You can tell he was one of those folks who feel they are always right and refuse to hear another person’s reality if it conflicts with theirs. Then to add insult to injury he asked me if I been tested for HIV right after drawing my blood. Mind you that question was already asked and answered in my intake form. Him asking the question at that moment came off as just more antagonism. He wanted me to feel as insecure as he feels inside. Then proceeded to give me the silent treatment and ignored any further questions I asked for the duration of the appointment. UNPROFESSIONAL!I thought a patient/doctor appointment was supposed to be about the patient. But it was made abundantly clear that my appointment wasn’t about me at all; it was totally about serving Peter Chansky’s fragile ego. Do better dude. 0/5 Would not recommend.

Comment: We were running about 10 minutes late because this was our first time here and being that theres only street paking and were in SF it makes sense. the receptionist was cold and harsh as soon as we got there. the first thing she said was your appointment was at 11 very flatly and saying if we were15 minutes late we would have had to pay. my girlfriend was already so stressed and in pain so the attitude the receptionist was giving caused her to become more panicked and had a really hard time filling out paperwork. she has a service dog but couldnt even bring her becuase the provider has dog allergens. so her dog couldnt even do its service while my girlfriend was just stressed out and needed her dog more than ever. update: I have now changed this review to 1 star. I know that insurance is not within this companies control, but they took 3 weeks to tell my girlfriend that her insurance did not cover my treatment and that they would not even run my girlfriends secondary insurance. wasting a month and a half of her time.UPDATE... MY GIRLFRIEND JUST FOUND OUT WHY HER INSURANCE DENIED HER TREATMEMT. DUE TO THIS OFFICE NOT PUTTING IN THE RIGHT DIAGNOSIS CODES. NEVER GO TO THIS PLACE, THEY CANT EVEN DO THE BASICS.

Comment: The procedure with the Nikki, PA went well. The receptionist Nazeem’s (sp?) demeanor was stern and unfriendly, even how she spoke with patients on the phone, lacking customer service. However there was a different receptionist who set up my appt by phone who was sweet, helpful and patient. I also looked into the Daly City location and found it to be shady. The cost of the procedure in SF was the cost of a consult only in Daly City. The actual removal of the skin tags in Daly City would be an additional cost. I was told each practitioner charges differently but how can 2 locations of the same business quote different prices? Avoid the Daly City location.

Comment: I was so well cared for. Everyone is efficient and warm. Dr. Hsaio instilled confidence and was fun to talk to during the procedure. I loved that he turned on some classic jazz while he was working!

Comment: Everyone is very nice and so efficient that there is little wait time in waiting room or individual rooms. iPad for everything so no paper. Dr. Taylor is spot on and prescriptions are waiting for pick up at my pharmacy. She also explained my skin condition in ways I’d never understood before

Comment: California Skin Institute is fantastic. I’ve been going here for adult hormonal acne. I’ve seen many dermatologists (from all over the country), and Nikki is the only person I trust. She is thorough, professional, and she has a great sense of humor! She is extremely consistent and cares about getting the exact results I want with my skin. I’ve had great success here. Front desk staff are also lovely and so friendly. I’ve always had a seamless experience at CSI, and I highly recommend!

Comment: Efficient process filling forms out on their portal in advance, was not in the waiting room more than 5 minutes. As a new patient, I was able to talk through every single concern, get a full body exam of my skin, get recommendations, prescriptions, and next appointments set up all within 30 minutes without feeling rushed. Great care, very knowledgeable, and a breeze to get into the office. I had tried 4 different locations without call backs. I know its COVID times, but it really added impressive points on my list for CSI. Thank you!

Comment: Truly the best. Dr Tumeh and Nikki Melet are outstanding. They really take the time to get to know the patient as a whole person, understand needs and evaluate based on that. Everyone is extremely friendly and accomodating, even during Covid craziness. Super thorough and helpful from procedure to product recommendations. Cannot recommend enough!

Comment: Absolutely first rate care. Timely and competent care from physicians, physicians assistance and staff. Great bedside manner from A to Z. A bonus is Wi-Fi in the office and fantastic views from the examining rooms. Ive been using the services of the California Skin Institute for roughly a decade now and cant imagine going anywhere else.

Comment: I love this place. The front desk staff is always friendly and helpful, theyre on time and Nikki Melet, the PA I see, is so kind and patient, especially when scary things are coming at my face (read: device used to burn off broken capillaries). She always goes above and beyond to make sure Im comfortable.
