List of California Skin Institute's Reviews
Several months ago, I had a concern and made an appointment to see Kim. However, she was off so they booked me with Allison. When the morning of the appointment came, Allison was 15-20 minutes late to the appointment despite me being the only one in the waiting room (as I was one of the first few appointments of the day). She didn’t even bother apologizing for being late and barely addressed my concern as she rushed my appointment stating she needed to get to the next appointment because there was a 30 minute allocation per appointment. Wth, you were almost 20 minutes late to mine and you have the audacity to cut me off! Rude and unprofessional! I’d avoid Allison and wait for Kim, Dr. Ball, or go elsewhere.
About a year and a half ago, I had to cancel a microneedling appointment. I made several attempts to call, but no one answered. I eventually left a voicemail clearly stating that I needed to cancel. To my surprise, a full year later, I received a bill for a no-show fee—something that was never mentioned to me during multiple visits afterward. When I tried to resolve the issue, I encountered the same poor communication: the phone line repeatedly said, “We’re busy and will return your call within 72 hours.” I left voicemails on two different numbers but never received any response.
Kimberly is wonderful!!
Was quick and easy. Dr was professional and knowledgeable.
My first visit with them and they were very friendly and the doctor was very knowledgeable
Dr. Ball is the best. Keeps my skin pre-cancer issues in check. Thank you 🙏
IM VERY HAPPY WITH MY DR SHE EXPAME EVERY THINGS. THANKS GOD BLESS FOR THE DR.
On time and very efficient. Great environment and office staff. Dr Ball is the best dermatologist I have ever had.
Exquisite service and Dr. Ball is so kind and takes the time to make sure you're informed and comfortable. 6 stars!
Timely and quick treatment

Selection Criteria
All the information you see here is based on our analysis of internet reviews across the seven major review platforms most used by consumers during their healthcare provider selection. The platforms we selected are Google, WebMD, Yelp, HealthGrades, Facebook, RateMDs, and Vitals. The analysis algorithm uses the compiled data of average score, recency of reviews, number of reviews, and the sentiment expressed in the written comments. It then assigns weight to each parameter based on the available research on how consumers use reviews in their doctor selection process. This report is designed to help identify the doctors with the best overall review score in an area and does not reflect the doctors' competence.
