I got amazing results after I had my basal carcinoma removed from my face. I thought I was going to be left with a large nasty scar, but it has healed beautifully because of the treatments that I got from the CSI.

I’ve been coming here for fifteen years, so when Dr Tsu retired, I was nervous about seeing a new doctor, but I’ve gotten to know and trust Dr Sharkey over the last few years. He and his team are absolutely wonderful, their office is clean and comfortable, and they consistently make me feel deeply cared for. Thank you Dr Sharkey and team❣️

Andy Thabet
Ashley Dominique is absolutely incredible! My father came to her after struggling with a stubborn skin condition and getting nowhere with other doctors. She was the only one who truly listened and figured out what was going on. She’s so kind, patient, and knowledgeable—you can tell she genuinely cares. She kept me updated every step of the way and even went out of her way to communicate with my other doctors to make sure he got the best care. I’m so grateful we found her—she’s truly one of a kind! Couldn’t recommend enough! 5/5 stars!

Just completed my annual skin check at California Skin Institute. Jack Sharkey is an excellent, highly experienced PA. He took the time to be quite thorough, but also explained everything that he noted during the exam. The exam takes about 15 minutes. That time is well spent and potentially life saving! See you next year!

Sambath Ye
Wow, Ashley PA-C at California Skin Institute and the entire staff are the most welcoming and attentive medical team I have ever met. From the moment I checked in at the front desk. The customer service is unmatched. Additionally, Ashley is the most detail oriented facial/ lip filler legend I have yet to experience and I've had fillers done many times but hands down Ashley has given me the best experience ever! I have never seen this level of talent and professionalism. She has an amazing technique while administering the filler which I was extremely comfortable throughout the entire process from start to finish. And her assistant Karen was right there with ice packs to help soothe the injected areas right after. I absolutely have zero bruising and the outcome of the results left me speechless. I am obsessed with the results. So grateful for this place and everyone that works there's.
Amy Glanz
Have been shopping around for a place to get VBeam for my roseacea. (Had it done years ago & worked beautifully but got ripped off & ended up paying over $1,000 for 2 sessions in La Jolla). Not only was CSI affordable- they treated me on the spot. Didn’t have to do a consult & come back which is a pain. Quick & professional, thank you!
A Lange
Probably the best dermatologist I have ever been to. Patient care was excellent. Staff was so friendly. And Dr. Ashley, if you see this, I’m trying to be best friends with you because you are the dopest. Thanks so much! Actually kind of sad I don’t have to have a follow up for a year! Amanda Warneke

He addressed my skin concerns accurately and professionally. He was also VERY kind and took the time to explain the types of moles I had. He was extremely THOROUGH and PATIENT. The dermatologists at Sharp and Scripps had a waiting list of 3-5 months to be seen. I was seen within days at Dr. Nickerson’s office.

Consistently excellent care. I went in for rosacea but they also found a skin cancer on my face and removed it. They treated my rosacea w/laser sessions and a topical med, and it's much better.

Appointments are on time and I really like that they don't try to sell me a lot of expensive products. I trust them and definitely recommend!

Great attention to detail.
Marsha Montague
My provider, Ashley Dominique, PA-C is very professional, knowledgeable and kind. She was able to help me with multiple skin concerns and really listened to me. Ashley worked hard to get my prescriptions filled within pharmacies that have reasonable rates as she knew they would not be covered by my insurance. The office is run very efficiently and they were able to accommodate fitting in a lengthy procedure the same day as my exam. Allison, at the front desk, is very responsive and called me before my appointment with information I could give my insurance to make sure treatments were covered. The medical assistant was very responsive and checked in on me multiple times during the treatment. California Skin Institute, Encinitas delivers quality care from start to finish. I definitely recommend them!
Kerry Russell
Super efficient, very knowledgeable as well as friendly doctor and staff! Thank you!!😀

Ismael Chery
That had to be the most painless and personable experience I’ve ever had at any Doctors or Dermatology office.

Alexandra Berman
Where to begin! This office is AMAZING. From front office, everyone is always so sweet and they help work around my schedule and even Allison who squeezed me in after I went to the wrong location… woops. To the back office, my dermatologist Ashley Dominique is incredible! She makes the experience so relaxing and stress free, even when I have to get my scalp cut for biopsy, it was quick and pain free. Fun chats with her make me feel like I’m not at a doctors office. Her assistant Kaitlyn and her interact so wonderfully and truly are a team. Together we laugh, joke and make the experience enjoyable, while having to get these serious treatments done. I 100% recommend this office to anyone! They are the BEST of the best!

Very nice and knowledgeable people that treat you with respect. Good to know that I'm being taken care of before anything gets to bad.
Cathy Stevens
Sending out many thanks to Amy West, PA-C, at CA Skin Institute! Amy has helped me more in the last couple months than my long term dermatologist and I’m so glad I looked elsewhere! My insurance coverage is very limited and I have a high deductible for specialists so I highly recommend that for folks with an insurance problem, look into paying cash. It literally costs less for me to pay cash than to use my insurance! Most importantly, Amy explains everything clearly and concisely and put me at ease after a long year of worry! As well, the office staff and nurse are such nice people, again, unlike my long term derm office! Thank you all for being such professional caring wonderful people!

The doctor and staff were Excellent! Such patience and understanding, and they listened to the concerns of the patient. It's hard to find a good mechanic anymore AND a medical dermatologist. I highly recommend California Skin Institute.
john michaels
Very professional staff. The doctor is great. Valentina is very friendly and helpful.
Roberta Moore
Amy West was incredibly personable and knowledgeable. I’ve been seeing the same dermatologist for the past 25 years so I was hoping that someone at this practice would be as wonderful as my former doctor. SCORE! Stellar patient care. Thank you Amy!
Lindsay Tatje
Fantastic experience. Very clean, and staff is friendly and professional. I would highly recommend Ashley Dominique. She is an incredibly knowledgeable and skilled PA-C in general and cosmetic dermatology.
Danielle Mooshagian
I was able to easily book an appointment online. Their staff was super friendly and helpful. I have to say, the team there was really awesome listening to my concerns and throughly checking through my chart. This was my first visit there but I will definitely be back for not only my immediate skin concerns but annual checks etc
Craig Jancay
Saw Ashley Dominique for alopecia areata issue. They were able to get me in quickly, addressed my concerns and got me started on a treatment plan. Paid cash and prices were more than reasonable. I’ve also referred others here and received wonderful feedback. Highly recommended!!!

From the moment I called to make an appointment, I was met by friendly professional staff. I appreciated getting in the same day I called. The office was clean and nicely decorated.

Isabel Duque López
Quick and easy service - very friendly staff and pretty office.
Esther Weisel
This was my first visit and was treated by Dr. Lashgari. Will have to wait and see if prescriptions for my psoriasis help my condition. Wait time for appointment and visit acceptable. Doctor and staff attentive.
JMK Global
Dr. Nickerson is the real deal. Outstanding guy with great ethics. I used work in Dermatology device sales and I can tell you most of them only care about their bottom line revenues and not their patients. You get the feeling immediately that Dr. Nickerson actually cares and provides a consultative form of medicine. He did a flawless surgery on my neck. 5 stars all the way. Ashley is also great.
Ash Ribs
Such an amazing experience all the way through! Dr and staff were all great!! Super quick and lovely!!
Kathy Bostrom
I went to the wrong office for my appointment and the receptionist, nurse, and doctor all treated me very kindly and fit me in at the office at which I showed up. I am grateful and thankful, and Dr. Nickerson and his staff were excellent. Thank you!
Harley Watson
The office was calm and the staff were so nice. Dr. Nickerson simplified my skincare regimen, and answered all my questions. I feel like I'm finally on the road to better skin.

Destinie Beaumont
Great experience getting Botox! Highly recommend!
Jayd Blankenship
Since the first time I came to Skin Institute for rosacea treatments, I’ve always requested to be treated by Ashley Dominique. She’s the ultimate expert in everything that I’ve visited her for, and somehow both meticulous and nurturing. I highly recommend requesting Ashley if you’re a first time patient unsure of the dermatology world or even if you’re an experienced veteran. If it’s not obvious, I can’t recommend her enough because she’s a super talented practitioner and I’m pretty picky :)
Neal Hribar
I Used to See Dr Lasgari and missed having him as my derm provider. I now live in S Oregon and was very pleased with the care I received today in the Encinitas office. The staff was fun and respectful and I will be seeing them as needed on my trips to San Diego for business. Neal Hribar
azam Khalili
Extremely knowledgeable and has helped my skin problem
Tracey Kezler
Such a lovely, modern facility with the kindest, most professional staff. I went in for Botox and was seen by Ashley Dominique. Extremely knowledgeable, courteous and personable. She suggested a different type of Botox that I have never used before and I could not be happier. She took her time to ensure all my questions were answered yet was efficient and quick woth injections. I will definitely be back.
Andrea Mawby
Very clean office with professional staff and doctors. I thought the front seat staff was very welcoming and friendly. I saw Dr. Swati Kannan and am very happy with the visit. She was extremely knowledgeable and patient. She explained everything very well and gave plenty of time to answer any questions I had. Happy to have found a dermatologist who is competent and also accepts insurance.
Nessa K
Great customer service, very professional, everyone is awesome and make you feel very very comfortable!
Mark East
Booked a visit video visit with Dr. Kannan through Zocdoc. The whole Zocdoc experience is a total circus. Providers are frequently not in network with insurance carriers they list on Zocdoc or their schedules aren’t anything close to what is listed on Zocdoc. This was no exception. The office called me to let me know that Dr. Kannan was actually not available on the day that I made my appointment through Zocdoc, so we postponed it one day. No big deal, but they really should keep the information they post online up-to-date. Dr. Kannan is pretty great, though. I was coming to her for a second opinion on the excision of a funky mole and she took time to explain my situation to me in detail and answer all my questions. I’m actually canceling my appointment with the dermatologist who diagnosed me and going to Dr. Kannan to do the excision. Sent from my iPhone
Kevin Rankin
Amazingly wonderful and beautiful staff. Definitely treat you like family. Will never go anywhere else. Thank you all

Sabrina S
Dr. Kannan is amazing! I went in for cosmetics she was very honest about what I did and didn’t need and super gentle! HIGHLY recommend!!
Rhonda Heather
Discovered Ali Lashgari returned to Encinitas. Overwhelmed with gladness, made an appointment. New office for him. Staff was cordial and accommodating. But focus was seeing a Dr of dermatology that deserves a 20+ rating. He is the best.
Handle_ Herr

I was referred here by an urgent care facility for an allergic reaction causing a severe skin rash. I’m very happy with the service and treatment I received here. The check in was quick and simple and I was taken in right away. I saw Ashley Dominique and she was excellent. She made a quick and accurate diagnosis and explained very thoroughly what the course of treatment would be to clear it up. She was very knowledgeable, professional, and friendly. I’m glad this is where I was referred to and would definitely return, should I have any other issues in the future. Thanks Ashley! Highly recommend!!

Deborah Sperberg
It's a good place to go, but I wish I didn't have to wait at least 30 minutes before seeing the doctor.
Emily Le
I saw Ashley Dominique PA and what an amazing experience! Quick, professional, and had the patient’s best interest in mind. You don’t have to worry about feeling pressured into treatments and a plethora of products. After a few weeks my skin is already more radiant. Thank you!

Dr Tse and her staff at very professional yet friendly too. She has too excellent care of my husband including several surgeries. She is nationally known and respected as a Mohs surgeon. But, if you are interested in cosmetic procedures, they have many options to get pretty!

I loved my experience at the Institute.
Trisha St.Clair
Gals at front desk were very polite and courteous. Personal assistant was friendly and asked appropriate questions to determine my desire vs trying to sell. Dr. Yeo was very friendly and provided me with quality time. In addition he provided me with referrals which was greatly appreciated since I am new to SD area.
Summer Humphreys
Dr. Taylor is amazing and all of the staff are great. Highly recommend!!
Jodie Siegel
Dr. Tse is lovely. She examined my area of concern and quickly put my mind at ease. She was running late. I did have to wait approximately 40 minutes past my appointment time. However, when you see a dermatologist who does procedures in the examining room, sometimes the doctor gets behind schedule. I would recommend booking your appointment on a day and time that you are flexible just in case.
Connie Dempsey
Lena’s warmth, enthusiasm, and her knowledge and experience with the products always ensues a wonderful, personalized facial!
Sergia Sanchez
Everyone, starting from the front office, assistants, and doctor had a smile on their face. The doctor was friendly, patient, very informative and addressed all my needs. My whole experience was very positive.

Elena is amazing! I seen her 2 weeks ago for a dermasweep facial and everything she said was going to happen to my skin has happened just from one visit. She is sweet and knowledgeable. I had so many questions and she was able to answer them all without any hesitations. Thank you!
Daniel Schmachtenberger
Very friendly staff
Darsi Burke
I love Kara and Dr. Yco and the staff. The only issue is it's not as laid back and inviting as it was when Dr . Yco had his own office. Feels like I am getting a physical each time I go there as they ask for your weight everytime. Botox does NOT discriminate and it should not matter how tall or how much we weigh!
M R
Great service! Knowledgeable staff! Very attentive and care about your results. Kara is amazing!
Lucinda Kemmis-Guymon
My experience at California Skin Institute was very positive.
Sandy Williams
Dr. Yco and Dr. Taylor and their great, professional team have been my go-to skin care specialists for many years. Their new office is spacious and highly stylized. A different "feel" than their previous place. But their service remains the same: highly professional, personalized, and caring. Best wishes for a smooth transition.
Gayle Grider
Would not go anywhere else for my skin care. Dr. Yco, Dr. Taylor and staff are the best!
Paul Nichols
I was in for a squamous excision. The nurse took great care and was generous with the local. Dr. Tse breezed through the procedure and I felt so little pain I thought she was yet to begin when she announced the last stitch was in. Her practice exudes a level of competence and efficiency that I’ve rarely seen in my 45 years in the medtech industry.
Lynn Swenson
I have been a patient of Dr. Tse’s for several years and would recommend this practice for skincare needs. The office staff is very helpful, professional, and friendly. Dr. Tse has been excellent at diagnosing and treating my skincare needs. She has treated me for several procedures with great results. Highly recommend!
Ann Eskesen
Dr. Tse and staff very professional. Appointments always on time. Always return your calls when you have a question. Have complete trust in Dr. Tse evaluations and surgeries relating to questionable skin lesions. They have my recommendation.
Lutfi Shakhshir
All staff were professional and frendly. Dr. Yardy was very pleasant and she did an excellent job on my mohs procédure that the scar is not visible on my cheek.
Rick S
Had a great experience with Dr. Tse and her staff for mohs surgery on my ear. Everyone was friendly and professional. They went out of their way to answer all my questions and make sure I was comfortable at all times. I highly recommend.
Cathy McCall
I had sought out the best skin doctor in the area. Dr Tsu has the perfect prescription for three must have items that keep wrinkles in check. Renova, Skin Medica TDS serum, and Vitamin C oil. It works! Then she is an expert on the various surgical options as well. If you want to look good, this is where you want to go.

Dr. Yardy Tse has been my dermatologist & surgeon for 18 years and has performed 25 Mohs skin cancer surgeries on my sun damaged skin. I have trusted her with my life all these years ... and she has never let me down. I have sent many friends to her and they have all been very pleased with her prompt, friendly and highly professional care. Highly recommended with complete confidence.
