Started off seeing Dr Hurvitz who was terrific. Now I'm seeing Sean Fisher and he is terrific too. Both very friendly and outgoing, made me feel comfortable and well looked after. I definitely recommend this group!

KA-CHING!!! A basic check up with PA Sean Fisher ... $175 Then we start tacking on the "services" ... Another $325 to freeze off a few tiny skin growths. TOTAL for a brief (15 minute) visit: $500 Be AWARE that once a practitioner starts wielding the "freezing device" it's KA-CHING!!! EACH TIME it is squeezed. In a matter of seconds, hundreds of dollars can be tacked onto your bill. Truly. In seconds. Dermatologists rarely, if ever, mention this when they're freezing each and every real and possible "issue" that they perceive. And one can only guess what the basic visit charge would have been had it been seen by Dr. Hurvitz. So yes, my insurance covered most of it, but one best have either good insurance or deep pockets to pay this office a visit. Also, it would seem that these are "Santa Barbara rates" and would never fly in a less "wealthy" community ... say, Lompoc? So I'm not going to use the term "price gouging." As for the actual procedure, PA Fisher appeared to be reasonably knowledgeable and thorough with the exam ... as one would expect ... most especially at these rates ...

I have been searching for a new dermatologist ever since mine moved to New Zealand. Visited a few different ones over the years but none of them felt the same or better. I read some reviews and thought I'd try advanced and I am super happy I did. Got an appointment quickly and the office and staff were great. Before I could even pick up a magazine they were already calling me to come in. I saw Sean the PA and he was awesome. Overall great experience.
