Murrieta Dermatology & Skin Cancer

I wish I had a great experience but I didn’t. They wanted to charge $ 700 to remove a mole. When I called and asked to pick up my pathology report the front desk said I needed to pay $ 95 to have a consultation for the doctor to review it over with me. My husband called them and said it was illegal and that its my medical records and that they needed to give me my report. The front desk gave us «corporates» number to call to only find out it wasn’t. 10 minutes later the front desk lady leaves me a voicemail saying she was wrong and to pick up pathology report. I went to another dermatologist for a second opinion because I knew $ 700 was an ABSURD amount and my suspensions were correct! I went to another dermatologist and he looked at my pathology report and said it didn’t even need to be removed and that it should have not been that much to remove a mole! I really hate to leave such a bad review but don’t take advantage of people!

Great staff reminding me of my appointment and the dermatologist alongside his medical assistants are very professional. My daughter and I are very happy with the service we received every visit.

I am a 48 yr old woman and although I’ve taken care of my skin I was feeling like my skin was looking tired/​haggard and I wasn’t sure if there were any non invasive procedures that might help my problem areas of concern (drooping lids, jowls, neck, double chin, fine lines/​wrinkles, and hollows under eyes. I found Murrieta dermatology and spoke with Maribel there. She made me feel at ease and was extremely informative on the latest optional procedures available. She took her time explaining everything and offered her expert opinion on what she felt would achieve optimum results for my areas of concern. I had fillers, and Ultherapy. Dr. Mehdi
(AKA Dr Magnificent) was professional and had a wonderful bedside manner. He took time to really examine my face before starting. He made me feel at ease and I felt very comfortable with him.
I couldn’t be happier with the results!!! If you are thinking of having any work done on your face I highly recommend him. The results have far surpassed my expectations. I was a little nervous to trust someone with my face but the results are clearly nothing short of miraculous and I feel so much more confident. I’m so thankful I invested in my face. Everyone– friends, family, co workers keep saying things like «Wow you look Great-​did you lose weight» ?!? (lol nope) I don’t look plastic I just look younger, refreshed, invigorated, and glowing on the outside and the inside!!! Thank you Thank you thank you Dr. Mehdi the Magnificent, Maribel, Heather, and All the polite courteous staff at Murrieta Dermatology!!!

Love this office and their staff! I wouldn’t go anywhere else! The office and clean and you are always welcomed by their friendly staff.

If I could give this place 0 stars I would. I had some moles checked and biopsied and ⁷⁄₁₀ came back precancerous and Dr. Mehdi said he wanted to remove them so they wouldn’t turn into cancer cells. He mentioned that I would have to come in 7 separate times and pay the 30 dollar co pay each time because insurance companies don’t cover anything other than one at a time. I called my insurance company and asked why that was, and they told me that, that is absolutely false and there are no stipulations on why they can’t all be removed at the same time and if they provider needed to call and ask for a pre determination of my coverage then they could do that. After all, he removed half of all of them at the same time to be biopsied so why couldn’t he remove them all permanently at the same time? I called and talked to the receptionist, Catherine and asked her why I was told that insurance wouldn’t cover it and she said, «I don’t really know how to answer your question so I’ll have someone call you back who knows more about it. 3 hours later still no phone call. So I called back and talked to someone else and explained the situation and she said «we don’t usually have them all removed at the same time because they’re each a 30 minute procedure.» I then told her that that’s not what the Doctor told me. He said it was because insurance wouldn’t cover it not because the length of the procedure. Like I said before, my insurance company had no idea why I was given this information other than the simple fact of this place wanting to collect more money. I will absolutely NEVER come here again and will definitely not recommend it. The only reason why some people give it 5 stars is because they have a sign on the wall that says If you give them 5 stars on Unilocal,they will send you a gift certificate. This place is a joke and the girls working in the front have absolutely no idea what is going on other than how to swipe a credit card.
* I just wanted to update that a month later I’ve recently seen a new dermatologist who removed the moles completely all at the same time. He was very concerned when I told him about the behavior and the willingness to scam a patient. I learned that There is so much more that Dr. Mehdi tried scamming me on, but I think I have made my point clear from this post. LOOK ELSEWHERE! There are doctors out there who actually truly care for their patients and not their money!

The staff was wonderful, and friendly. My dermatological procedure was fast and painless, however when I received a bill in the mail for 800 $ after them telling me my insurance covered the procedure I was extremely disappointed to learn that they were out of network after reassuring me my insurance covered it. If the procedure was covered by my insurance it would be a 5 star review. I’ll give them the benefit of the doubt that it was a simple clerical mistake, but now I’m out $ 600 more than what I was expecting when it should have only been $ 200. Do your own due diligence and make sure they are in your network before you commit to an appointment.

Have been using their products for awhile now. It’s been helping my skin a lot. The staff is very friendly & helpful. Making appointments is easy & same day or next day appointments are available. Best dermatology office!

great staff, great doctor, great with kids (my youngest son is not the easiest to handle), and super-​clean office. couldn’t be happier, wifey made an appointment for the hydrofacial :-D

Nice staff. This is my first visit and I’m impressed with the smiles so early on a Saturday morning.

I’ve been coming here for a year now to be treated for hormonal acne. Although it’s been a process (as explained to me by the doctor), I’m glad to report that it’s looking much better!

I went to do the cool sculpt! I was skeptical at first but Maribel who helped me, really explained thoroughly and made me feel more assured. It’s been a little over 4 weeks and I Definitely see the results! I’m for sure going back to do another problem area of mine.

Great staff, very friendly. Offers lots of different services like the microdermabrasion which helped my sons skin tremendously. He loves his sin and we all thing it looks great.

I loved the thorough full body check and the care of Dr Mehdi. These are never a comfortable experience and I felt at ease.
The care and bedside manor were very comforting while removing my moles for biopsy and making sure I wasn’t experiencing any pain or discomfort.

First time here & very happy! Definitely looking forward to my next visit. The staff here are all very nice & helpful.

Just got done with my first cool sculpt appointment and I can say that this facility is top notch. I love how clean and friendly everyone is here. The girls at the front are so welcoming and answer all my questions. Maribel did my consultation and my cool sculpting and I love her! She is so friendly and personable. I really enjoy coming here and look forward to upcoming appointments

Maribel and William Lee keep my normal acne under control which isn’t easy when your hormones are out of control trying to get pregnant. Would recommend this place to anyone in the area!

Great place !!! Very friendly staff both in the front and the back of the office. They take the time with you, to answer all your question. I live about 30 minutes away and would always make the drive to come here. Very clean office ! I would highly recommend this place to everyone. Great experience !!

I love coming here for my microdermabrasions. The staff are very friendly, encouraging, and knowledgeable. They recommend what is best for your skin type and offer lots of monthly promotions to keep professional grade products affordable. What I like is that compared to other dermatologists, they don’t waste time. If you need immediate care, they’ll be more than happy to help. I’ll be coming back!

I have not been to this office but have called on TWO separate occasions for different services and was told I needed to put down a deposit for services. I told them I have insurance & wanted a skin check but was still told I needed to put a large deposit down for services. I have NEVER been asked to do this EVER for a doctors office. Not to mention the receptionist was rude and unhelpful. Just saying…

Needed an appointment the same day and it looks like I’m the last patient. 4:30 appointment, hours on Unilocal says they close at 5pm.
Came in a little early to start new patient paper work and was shown to a waiting room right after. Came for three separate concerns so I’m very happy to be seen during the same day I called to make an appointment. Friendly staff at the front as well.
