Had a wonderful experience with Dr. Noodleman. He was very knowledgeable, attentive, and thorough. Overall, superb and caring professional. I highly recommend him! The staff at the office were also great. I was seen at the time of my scheduled appointment and the check-in process as a new patient was very easy. Will continue to come to this practice and doctor for all dermatology needs.

Fred Castillo (Sensei)
Dr. Noodleman is the gentleman that has taken the place of Stuart McDonnell, PA; to follow my care at the Ca. Skin Institute. Dr. Noodleman was very pleasant and was easy to speak to and feel comfortable about any subject. He was professional and answered my questions fully in a manner easy to understand. I am pleased that I have someone I can trust to care for me in the absence of Stuart McDonnell; whom I developed a great patient/medical relationship with while he was here. I wish Stuart the best and I welcome Dr. Noodleman.

First off Dr. Albridge is a wonderful dermatologist. She’s very knowledgeable, professional and mixes in a little humor. She listens to your concerns and gives her feedback and advice. All the while still letting you make decisions on your treatment. She is my go to doctor for skin issues. A shout out to her staff, they are friendly, professional and caring to the patients. Makes for a good doctor’s visit. 👍🤗
Annette Renfro
Everyone is very pleasant and office is efficient.
Janmaris Pineda
I really enjoy going to these appointments the PA is very nice. She assured me I wont have to worry about my reason for visit. Thanks to her I have seen a huge improvement in my before and after results. She wants to see results just as much as I do. She takes the time to see what can be done for medication. I have see so many doctors in the past 10 years and none of them have taken the time to give me medication or have understood the cause. In my first visit she already understood what was going on. She also takes the time to help me. Its true when the say PA’s are the best healthcare providers.
Tracy Murphy
Many people may dread a visit to the dermatologist for a skin check or for cancer screening - often with good reason. California Skin Institute takes the worry away. Dr Kim Albridge makes you feel like you’re an old friend. She cheerfully allays fears, answers all questions, and gives advice. All the while, her keen knowledge and observations guide her into noticing minute changes that may need monitoring. She listens, making you feel as if you’re her only patient. I feel very confident that I’m in the best hands.
deborah dorney
Wonderful experience! Very efficient office. Once checked in, I sat down to wait and was immediately called into the examination room. No waiting! Dr. Albridge was my attending physician. She very thorough with my annual full body check. She found some areas of concerns and provided me with options. Once treatment was decided, she suggested and provided a two week follow up appointment. She even provided me with a coupon to use for the medication prescribed. Excellent treatment and service by Dr. Albridge and her staff. Much appreciated! I understand she is retiring. Happy for her, sad for us. Such a loss!
Jennie Gomez
Ashley Baksh is great! The staff is very welcoming too! Great team!

I believe strongly that the front office makes a big difference for me. I give the front desk person who scheduled me an 4 out of 10. The assistant was professional and I give her a 10 out of 10. Dr Albridge was wonderful 10 out of 10. She is retiring and I will miss her.
Mariel Halupa

Dr. Albridge is wonderful. On this occasion she had an intern in tow and was doing a great job of getting him to come up with diagnoses on his own, which she would confirm and elaborate on. She was also great at explaining my basle cell irregularity and what the next steps would be. She clearly loves her work. My wife and I are grateful to have her as our dermatologist.

Very professional during this hectic time with the COVID 19 going on. Very glad they were seeing patients and keeping them from having to go to a hospital for an annual appointment. Thanks to all who are working!!!! I go couple times a year to get checked out. I had lots of sun exposure though my younger years and am very pro active now. Hopefully this will make up for all the neglect I had in the past. Very professional group of women in the office and my Doctor takes good care of me and gives me the advice I need. Recommend everyone to take sun exposure seriously. Thanks California Skin Institute. ✌🏻

Dr. McDonell is very good at making me feel comfortable during my exam and throws in some surprise knowledge comments he keeps in his records from my previous visits of my life. Pretty special to make that effort to all his patients.

Shane Self
I had an urgent need for a new dermatology provider since moving to Monterey Bay; I needed to be seen as quickly as possible for a couple concerning new developments. I’d contacted many offices in my area looking for their first available appointment. While each office was empathetic and understanding, their offices were months out for an initial new patient appointment. Someone in my circle of friends & family mentioned California Skin Institute with high regard. They have a couple of offices in the community. I reached out to their office, explained my situation, and instead of months, they said they could get me an appointment in just three days to see Mr. Stuart MacDonell, MMS, PA-C. This particular office was about 30 miles away from me; I was more than willing to make that drive. As usual, I did my homework and felt confident that I was going to the right place. Arriving, I didn’t see the usual stack of paperwork I would need to complete; it was made simple by entering all my information and signatures into an iPad, yes, with drop-down menus. The front office team were kind and knowledgeable; being a new patient, I dread the plethora of forms to be completed as a new patient. With the iPad and the kind guidance of a knowledgeable team, it was easy. I was quickly greeted and called back into an examination room and given my instructions; ‘keep your shorts on.’ I was barely down to my skivvies, when in walked Stuart (it seemed strange calling him by his first name) and the same caring woman that explained my visit expectations. Stuart immediately introduced himself and told me how he’d arrived at this office; he told me where he came from, went to school, lived, learned, practiced, and honed his skills. I immediately knew I was in good hands, and I relaxed. He asked about my medical history, concerns, and what brought me into the office. “I have this and that, I’m concerned about….etc.” They both listened intently as they worked together as I was examined, and in real time the detailed information about me was entered into an iPad. Talk about teamwork. I felt completely comfortable throughout my examination, as they spoke “medical language,” and I used layman's terms like, “spot, mole, or redness on my skin.” The examination was comprehensive and completed with the utmost care and bedside manner, which is difficult to find today. All my questions and concerns were answered immediately, and I had a diagnosis and treatment plan and explained what they would be doing next. I was scheduled one month to the day to come back to take care of the medical procedures. I was given instructions on how I could help myself immediately, and a prescription was called in before I left the office. The whole team at California Skin Institute, is everything you look for in a full service dermatology provider; experienced, knowledgeable, great bedside manner, thoroughness, efficiency, and most of all, assurance that they will work on your behalf to help you through whatever your needs. Before arriving today, I thought I would take this appointment and transfer to their office closer to home for my remaining care. Sure, I can, but I’ll drive the 30 miles to return. It’s not often you find exemplary professionals that you’d go further for when you could drive five miles to the other office. This is why some people do what they do in the medical field because they care. Ten stars are not enough. Thank you, Stuart, Team, and California Skin Institute. No, I’m not a bot. I found all the motorcycles, crosswalks, and bridges. LOL
John Wilshere

Confirmed an appointment just days after I called to request one in the Freedom practice vs. being told by Salinas location that either I’d have to wait 5 months for one doctor or another doctor wasn’t accepting new patients.

I am really grateful for the California Skin Institute in Freedom. I have seen Doctors Albridge and Noodleman. Each has a profound wealth of experience and expertise. Having a family history of melanoma, I no longer want to waste my time going to local dermatologists in whom I don’t have confidence to diagnose issues or treat them effectively. I trust these two wholeheartedly with my skin. Not only do they do a thorough yearly exam but they also give excellent tips on how to keep my skin looking radiant and youthful.

Extremely kind and professional staff. I have never gotten into a room so quickly after arrival for anything. Followed up by some of the highest quality medical care I have received. I wasn't able to thank Stuart and his support staff enough for helping me in such a big way. Highly recommend to everyone.
Eddie Martinez
Very efficient staff. I was in the patient room before I even finished the paperwork. Not like most medical offices where you're still in the waiting area when its actually time for your appointment. The doctor knew exactly what my skin condition was as soon as he seen it and recommended many options to treat and help prevent it in the future. Would definitely recommend California Skin Institute.
Mike Bertoni
Great staff and Dr Noodleman is a knowledgeable professional of skincare and sun exposure.

Paul Szczepanek
Because of COVID, it had been more than a year since I had an appointment at the skin center and the first time an appointment with Dr Mudigonda. He listened quietly to new problems I had, what I had done, he asked a few questions, checked the problem area and prescribed a solution that seems to be taking care of the problem. He checked and found a sun induced area and froze it stopping its growth and pointed out a vericose vein problem. I judge my appointment very successful!

Patrick Knowles
I check in with a very professional staff. I waited, maybe 5 minutes before being taken to a room. The assistant went over why I was there to see the doctor. I was there for a check up. She left the room and I waited about 5 minutes for the doctor to see me. Dr. Stuart is very professional with great bedside manner. I gave me a complete head to ankle exam. He froze all areas he saw as a concern. I feel very lucky to have Dr. Stuart looking out for me.
LEANNA SYLVIA
My first office visit with Dr. Noodleman was very comforting. He is extremely patient and understanding. He was very concerned and took his time to explain to me about my upcoming procedure The staff is also very welcoming and friendly.
Caroldunn Dunn
The staff is wonderful and Dr Kim Aldridge is the bomb... She makes you so comfortable and relaxed I can honestly say I love going to her office. She explains in depth what your issues are to where you can understand the problem . if I could I would only see her as my primary. I give her 6 stars at a 100% perfection.

Lanny
I arrived for my appointment a few minutes early. I was immediately greeted by a friendly women who checked me in quickly. I was taken to an exam room within 5 minutes and shared my concerns with the nurse who took notes. Dr. Albridge came in a few minutes later. She listened carefully and put me at ease. She told me all the possibilities and what she thought it was. She went over the treatment in detail and all the side effects of each medication. Overall it was a good experience with very short wait times and I never felt like the doctor was rushing through my appointment.
