EVERYBODY was patient, effective, and good natured. The physicians were moving rather quickly through the office, but once in the patient room, they took a on very relaxed demeanor. This approach, particularly with a new patient (such as myself) inspires confidence. I also appreciate the staff's lack of medical jargon in their patient communications.

How to Divine
Prompt, and easy to book an appointment, and fill out paperwork while there. Clean as well, and organized with short waiting time. Dr.C is a friendly and confident doctor. We diagnosed my skin issues, that 2 other doctors couldn’t figure out, and we started treatment immediately. There’s was quiet a bit of appointments happening while I was there and I didn’t notice a lot of loitering patients in the lobby. They also have free little skincare goodies available on the tables in the waiting room. I will say only downside is the parking lot. Not enough spaces, since they share the building with multiple other medical practitioners and can be a bit of a tight squeeze. I recommend their services and I’m excited to continue my health and skin services with them!

I mention to him I had a flushed face after jogging (forgot to tell my reg. Dr about that) and I mentioned that I was in the sun that day. He said that I could get something to treat the rosacea or I could have laser treatment to get rid of it. He sprayed some liquid nitrogen on my right shoulder that I had a spot there. He mentioned the rosaea again. We were done then.

My first appointment at CSI & Dr. Crockett. From check in to initial paper on an iPad, to short wait time, all was smooth. The desk @ more were helpful and courteous. Dr. Crockett kept me waiting a whole 5 minutes. Exam was thorough with each step plus post visit care were both well explained. Just waiting for the biopsies to make vs my 2nd appointment. Would definitely recommend CSI.

Willa Tsang
Being a new patient I had to fill out a long questionnaire. When I finally saw the doctor, he told me my diagnosis and prescribed some medication. It took less than 10 minutes. He didn't even introduce himself, which I thought was rude. Other than that, he was pleasant and seemed to know what he was doing.

Very nice and informative.
Duane Anymouse
Medically sound. Friendly staff and well organized. But limited parking at the Castro Valley site. And most of all, no one could tell me in advance how long my appointment would be or even what specifically would be done during that time. In other words I couldn't plan on other event that day because of this appointment's ambiguity.
Hanne Gerardi
Dr Zhu is a great dermatologist. He is pretty easy to access, is friendly, very knowledgeable, professional and patient. (The doctor is patient! Sounds funny!) He takes the time to listen and explain everything. He is highly trained in the area of skin cancer and treatments. I warm heartedly recommend Dr Zhu! Office, staff and the other doctors there are nice, too. Parking can be tough at their office. Allow extra time for parking. Building is pretty new and very nice.

Chocolate Khan
Don't let the five stars fool you! I'd rate the business a minus one if it were possible. Went to the "Skin Institute" to receive treatment & medication for Facial Hyperhydrosis & was given a prescription for skin whitening cream. I love my skin tone just the way it is, and never once sought medical treatment to whiten my melanin rich skin. Online paid $30 for medication I didn't need. Dr.Cary Feibleman & his incompetent medical assistants refused to help me by providing the proper treatment, & help me to reverse the credit card charge after realizing that he wrote a prescription for the wrong medication. Also, beware of Apotheco Pharmacy Choice Bay Area online. They are the worst!
Shaun Murray
Great staff and service. I saw Alicia, Nurse Practician, who was very personable and efficient. She put me at ease immediately and answered all of my questions. I highly recommend California Skin Institute.
Shirley Ng

This was my first time at a new dermatologist and it was a good experience. The facility is very nice and located close to my home. The staff (receptionist, medical assistant, and appointment clerk) were all polite and business like (quickly doing what they needed to in a professional manner). The new dermatologist, Dr. Crocker, was thorough for a first appointment and obviously competent. I expect good things from my treatment.
Greg Flores
I saw Alicia today and she was great. Very easy to talk to. Described the issues I was experiencing clearly and gave me a plan to fix it. Was in and out quickly without feeling rushed. Great experience here so far.

Doctor and assistant were fine, saw dr for less than a minute. Beforehand, Completed a TON of paperwork/computer questions about everything regarding my health and will and advance directives.

Time efficient and very personable! I left happy!
Danielle SMith
Would be 5 stars but communication between doctor and his assistants was less then. Found it odd to be seated and asked “so what brings you in today” … did you not review my chart or clinical notes? I’m here for a doctors ordered visit or “I see you didn’t do your labs” … yeah the doctor said I didn’t need to do labs anymore. I once asked an assistant how many months I had been on a medication prescribed by the doctor and she couldn’t answer it. Even after reviewing her iPad for several moments. Isn’t there a ledger? Can’t you look up prescription history?
Jennifer Perez
Very quick but informative and very convenient!

Hans van de Bruggen
Arrived after booking on Zocdoc, only to discover the site had never sent the proper details over. Not a problem — they worked with me to get me seen quickly, and even exercised a saintly patience on the phone with my insurer after they had managed to drop the ball, as well. They cheerfully attended to all my questions, solved all the problems, and sent me home with an actual smile on my face. Do I recommend them? Yes, and then some.

Incredibly efficient and kind staff as well as doctor here at the California Skin Institute.

Misha Marroquin
I love this place. The Dr. Is ALWAYS quick and efficient. I go here for my Botox he always knows exactly what I need I don’t like a ton of it and he puts it right where it needs to go! And then if I need stuff that could be taken care of at home he writes me a prescription and I’m on my way. And this doctor does listen to you. Two years ago I started going there I had extreme acne. My face is now clear and I owe it to him I was doing terrible mentally because I felt so ugly but he took care of it . Having acne as an adult is crazy! I would highly recommend going to this place.

Joel Crockett is the most efficient doctor I’ve ever had. My appointment was at 7:00 am and I was out of the office by 7:04am (which included my paying my copay) . I get steroid injections for alopecia with him and I’m beyond impressed with the staffs friendliness and efficiency. Will definitely be coming here for all my skin concerns :)
Ashley Young
I love Dr. Crockett!! He is very professional, kind, and has a very warm demeanor, and a damn good dermatologist. I don’t have any serious skin issues that require me to see him on a consistent basis, but I always leave his office feeling well taken care of. I don’t care what your ethnic background or color of your skin if you need a dermatologist go see him.
Marnie Gonzales
The ladies at the reception desk are quite busy. I had to call in twice to get a response from them regarding my appointment. The doctor resolved my issue on the same day. The staff are friendly. Dr Crockett does not have a warm personality. He did not take the time to know me. It seems his nurse gathers the background information and relays it to him. His time with me was less than 15 minutes. To his defense… my issue was minor so I appreciated the quick visit. I had a good visit. Thank you.
Ralph Serna

Great Service!!! Friendly folks answered the phone & squeezed my Mum in for an appointment the very next day!!! This was in regard to a Terrible Rash, getting Worse, not better, that would have been postponed for Weeks with Kaiser!!! When Kaiser "Dropped the Ball" we were so Glad to find a Reasonable Private Pay Dermatologist!!! Joel Crocket was Awesome!!! We'll probably return for some follow up appointments!!!
Tatiana Escalante
Dr. Joel Crockett, MD is a fantastic. I never felt any pain or bruised with any of his treatments or procedures. I was always happy with my results. Unfortunately I moved to Texas, I have been to two different locations, cost is the same as California but the service, pain, and bruising is really bad. I'm seriously considering flying to California to see Dr. Crockett the next time I need a treatment or procedure, I've discovered and realized how good he is.
Lena Ceniceros
Excellent, friendly and courteous service. Would highly recommend.
Normilene Perry

Unnat Shrestha
The doctor's take really good care of you. And it's really fast unlike other hospital or clinic, once you get in the exam room, the doctor attends you fairly quick within few mins. Very impressed!
Patrick Cruzen
California Skin Institute and Dr. Crockett are wonderful. Caring, thorough and patient dedicated doctor's office. I cannot recommend them highly enough. Fantastic service and lovely staff. You will not regret using their services.
Michael Mackin
Excellent experience in the office with the staff and the doctor. However, one of my prescriptions didn't make it to the pharmacy. After leaving three messages and waiting three days I still haven't heard back about getting it filled. Again, wonderful in-office experience but definitely lacking in follow-ups. I hope I don't really need that medication!
Maria Nickel
Excellent service from Dermatologist Dr Joel Crockett. I had many dark bumps, skin tags, and discolorations on my neck and chest. My appointment was just 3 days ago (09/02/2021) and my skin is healing nicely. I will be able to wear my low cut blouses again. Thank you so much. 😊
Frank Luong
Thanks. The experience was better than I expected.

Dr Crockett is very personable and professional. Assistant Luz was super helpful and accommodating. The facilities were sparkling and the air conditioning was perfect-not blasting. My wait in the group waiting room was short and once in the exam room I waited only a few minutes for the Dr. I'd say my experience at CSI was very positive. Lutrecia Koffi.
Andy Anderson
CSI always calls about upcoming appointments. Even when busy your still seen within minutes of your appt The staff are well trained, very courteous and friendly.
Taani Secrist
Dr. Crockett and his staff are top notch and I always appreciate that they are timely and efficient. Dr. Crockett took care of a very stubborn wart my daughter’s previous dermatologist charged us a fortune for and, after repeated visits, never removed. Dr. Crockett took care of it and we never had to revisit the issue again. I appreciate someone who respects my time and is able to solve the problem in minimal appointments. Thank you Dr. Crockett and staff!!
Chad Remington
They were friendly and on time. All my visits have been pleasant.

Aka TG. I had a very good first impression with the Danville office. Receptionist was friendly and helpful, medical staff is comforting and Dr. Crockett is on point. He is knowledgeable, straightforward and efficient. He answered questions patiently and got me out quickly. Tks!
Rommel Perea
In and out within a few mins. I was referred by my primary care physician. Dr. Wapen did a visual inspection of a mole on my ear and confirmed it was benign. As side from that, the staff was great and it was very easy to schedule an appointment. I will return for any future skin appointments.

The California Skin Institute is and will forever be for me a skin tingling emotional ride to a recovery I would not have conceived and never have with and other competitors as I had suffered severe plaque Psoriasis that was treated with Humera I’m ecstatic at the results of my smooth clear skin that I hid from sight for over 15 years “ imagine not wearing shorts seemingly a lifetime while an island boy that I am at heart but partnership a trusting relationship with the CSI Personal at their most personable best with professionalism and finesse I felt a family member . Thank You Dr.Crockett and staff

After much research I ended up going to California skin institute. To schedule with them was very fast compare to other places. the DR was friendly and extremely professional! I removed a mole from my face and for years I was afraid that it will leave me a huge scar, but after 2 months I can barely see anything!! I’m so happy. Thank you 🙏🏽
