Orange Coast Dermatology, Rancho Santa Margarita CA

Orange Coast Dermatology always confirms my appointment the week of. I do not wait long once I arrive for my appointment. The office staff, doctor assistants and the doctor are pleasant, attentive and work together. My questions are answered and during the surgery the doctor tells me everything that is going on. My follow up instructions are sent home with me and all the needed prescriptions are called in promptly to my pharmacy. I highly recommend Orange Coast Dermatology.

I have been to three different doctors and everyone wanted to give me acne cream. I kept telling each doctor I didn’t believe it’s acne because I don’t break out but they all disregarded me. My right cheek was still inflamed and has been for 9 months and I still had no answers. Until I met Dr. D he actually got to the root of the problem and scrapped my face to look under a microscope. He said I had an infection and with a few prescriptions it will go away. I left his office for the first time feeling hopeful. I knew it wasn’t acne! I am so thankful I found him! He is so thorough. I highly recommend him!

Great visit. Dr. Was very thorough. Best experience with a Dermatologist I’ve ever had. Definitely returning.

Dr Dicesare is always so friendly and thorough. His RSM office is very convenient to where we live. Staff is friendly and helpful.

My experience with Orange Coast Dermatology was incredible. That made me feel very comfortable and took very good care of all my concerns. I highly recommend this facility to anyone and everyone.

Dr. Di Cesare does an amazing thorough job and is very kind and caring. I truly appreciate the time he takes. I recommend to all family and friends.

The staff was professional and caring. I felt cared for and my concerns were addressed thoroughly and compassionately.

Took my 13 year old daughter today to see Dr.
Athalye for the first time. She was very kind and reassuring to my daughter that we can get her issue cleared right up. Dr. Athalye and her assistant were so sweet.

Dr. DiCesare has been our family Dermatologist for three generations now. He is the very best, and your getting the very best care. Grateful!

First Time I saw Dr. Athalye and was very impressed with her throughness. She plans to take off some non cancerous growths that previous dermatologist did not want to remove.

Great and attentive staff. Appreciate them being open during COVID. Doctor is always thorough and willing to listen to concerns.

Great first visit with Dr. Athalye. She is very easy to talk with, knows her stuff and provides great care to her patients ;)

I was impressed at how quickly they were able to accommodate me. Dr. Nguyen was super responsive, very kind and professional. Thanks so much!

Dr. Liz was amazing and has an incredible gift of making you feel totally comfortable and taking the time to explain things thoroughly. I was nervous for the skin check and had to get a couple things removed in the office and Dr. Liz made it an actually enjoyable experience!

Liz was great! Knowledgeable, friendly, professional. I had uncomfortable experiences with the front office from the first phone call making my appointment. I couldn’t hear the receptionist. I thought maybe it was a bad connection. When I arrived and called (COVID guidelines) and asked if they were the Medi Spa I saw from the parking lot, the whispering receptionist said “yes, come in”. Misunderstanding.they are not the Medi Spa.

I found suite 150, plastered with COVID-19 warnings and the door locked. ‍️. Alright.knock knock knock.the door was opened by the whispering receptionist who abruptly instructed me to use the hand sanitizer.the HAND SANITIZER RIGHT THERE.and sign the COVID papers while I take your temperature. Ok.fine.
“May I use your restroom? “It’s on the second floor” really? Nothing closer? Fine.
I’m getting a bad feeling. I should just leave.this is a weird vibe even by COVID standards.

Thank goodness Liz was lively and spoke clearly.

As I left, another client was approaching the locked door plastered with COVID warnings. ”OHMYGOSH! Are you kidding? This is so stupid, so ridiculous,! ” I agreed.and she hadn’t yet been accosted by the greeter.

It’s beyond time to lighten up.
