My hematologist recommended annual skin screening since my cancer meds could cause skin cancer. I chose Danielle for the location and ease in scheduling. At age 67, this was my first screening. I was impressed with the courtesy and professionalism of both Danielle and her assistant Jessica. I was put completely at ease before and during the exam. Happy to report no issues and I will be back in a year.

I recommend this office if you have any skin concerns. I have a growth on my face that raised some red flags and wanted it removed. Dr. Hsaio is very knowledgeable and explains not just treatment options but also what to expect. The staff is also very professional and helpful.

Quick evaluation of a few issues, prescription ordered.

Could not have asked for more. Everyone I dealt with was kind, respectful, patient and knowledgable. Tons of free parking. I've been to a number of the finest dermatologists in the bay area, but Dr. Hsiao at the California Skin Institute is quite simply the ultimate. I've never seen so much attention to detail and you don't feel like there's a mad rush to move you out quickly so they can fit in as many patients as possible.

Office staff is knowledgeable and very accommodating. Walked in and was able to get my concerns addressed immediately. Iām sure it had to do with scheduling but was able to see the Dr right away and was in and out in a respectable time. I have been going to the skin institute for years now and have always been able to have my issues taken care of. I will recommend them to anyone looking for a dermatologist.

I had a minor biopsy done on my left calve today and Dr Hsiao was explaining what he was doing while working on my calve. I just felt a tiny prick from the anesthesia and everything went smoothly. The soothing jazz music in the background totally took my mind off on the procedure. Before i knew it i was done in 15 minutes. Dr Hsiao and nurse Tracy were all business and couldnāt ask for a better medical team. 10 Stars for a great job š

Arrived at exact time of Appomtment, but did not see the doctor for over an hour. Thatās too long to wait, but fortunately I didnāt have another appointment after that.

Been through 3 doctors since coming here but I tell you what they all bring a different level of experience but none of it is bad. They've helped me in my treatments better then some other dermatologist I've been too.
Ruth Wallace
Dr. Hsaio and staff are great. My issues are health related, not cosmetic. The facilities are fine and parking is really easy. The only negative is the cost and is, in some ways, to be expected. I recommend California Skin Institute.

Liz Barthe
Dr. Hsaio and his staff are very professional. Due to his extensive knowledge and experience Dr. Hsaio was able to give me a diagnosis and treatment which others in his field could not.
Eric Muenchow
Saying friendly staff doesn't clearly define how awesome these guys are. I genuinely felt comfortable and at ease. The San Mateo location put me in the very kind, understanding, and very knowledgeable hands of Dr Sorrell. In just ten to fifteen minutes of speaking with her I learned more than any other doctor I've ever seen. Even the parking here is super easy. I am very satisfied with the service that was provided, and I'm confident it was the best I could have found. Looking forward to going back for a follow up!
steve lu
Doctor is very good. Nurse could improve by giving more instructions on after surge care
