Bad experience with staff 1/13/2012

I like Dr. Stuart, but unfortunately her staff, specifically her office manager, have made it so that I am no longer a customer. I had an issue with their billing (specifically, my son who is in college received the first bill for an office visit that I had thought had been handled by his insurance more than one year after the visit). I called the contract billing person, who said I had to speak with the office manager. I left several messages for the office manager until she finally called me back. I explained that I felt that the bill should be written off as a whole year had transpired, he's not even with the same insurance company that he was with at the time of the visit. I told her that if the bill had been sent in a timely fashion that I would have been happy to look into it but too much time had passed for me to do so easily. She then told me that she would look into the issue and call me back within 24 hours and I never heard back. Then two months later, I once again received the bill. I called and left several messages again but she did not return my calls. The last time I called she told the receptionist to tell me that she wouldn't talk to me because the bill was in my son's name (even though I am the responsible party on the insurance!) Quite a bizzare experience that I don't have the time or patience for. Not sure what else to do but to leave my experience for others to see. I've spent way too much money at their office to be treated so poorly. I'll find another place who will gladly take my money and provide excellent service.\r more

Dermatologist for Running Enthusiast 6/29/2011

A few of my running buddies have recently become conscious about the freckles and moles we?ve developed from running outside. They got checked out by a dermatologist and, feeling peer pressure, I decided I would too. They tipped me off to Dr. Gonzales and I couldn?t be more happy with my decision to schedule my appointment. Dr. Gonzales saw me within a few days and quickly diagnosed a suspicious mole that needed an immediate biopsy. He followed up with me in just a few days to explain my opinions and we decided to have Dr. Gonzales remove the mole with a tiny excision. The scar is minimal and I feel healthier and better educated about my skin. I plan to see Dr. Gonzales on a yearly basis to keep my skin healthy and looking good. It?s been a pleasure dealing with Dr. Gonzales and his staff. My chance meeting with him ended in a positive result ? I would recommend him to anyone in need of a good dermatologist. more

Trustworthy Doc 1/27/2010

I visited Dr. Gonzales for a skin cancer screening after one of my family members was diagnosed with a melanoma. He was very personable and addressed all of my concerns. He took his time looking my skin over literally head to toe. He was systematic and made sure there was ?no stone unturned.? After the exam he talked to me about what he found and what I needed to watch out for in the future. Since that visit I have sent my wife and a number of friends to see him. All of their experiences have also been extremely positive. I would recommend him highly for anyone looking for a very kind, skilled, and thorough dermatologist. more

Owner Message
  • Thank you for choosing Dermatologist Medical Group of North County. We have practiced in San Diego County for more than 30 years. During that time, we have focused on two priorities. Our first priority is you, our patients, and the community in which we live. We are committed to providing the highest quality of care. Patient education is central to our practice; we encourage our patients to take an active role in their care by asking questions regarding their diagnosis and treatment options. Our second priority is furthering the field of dermatology through both research and education. Most of our providers have been involved in both case studies and clinical trials. Additionally, many of our physicians are Clinical Professors at the University of California at San Diego where they are involved in the education of both medical students and dermatology residents, and several have been recognized with teacher of the year award.
