Kory Zipperstein's Online Review Report Card

I had been plagued with an unknown dermatitis on my face for over 1.5 years and had gone to 2 other doctors and an acupuncturist and spent hundreds of dollars on appointments and treatments before I saw Dr. Zipperstein.  He was kind and patient and took a lot of time to answer all of my questions and explain the treatment options.  I felt relief just after talking to him and the simplest treatment ended up working for me, but none of the other doctors had accurately diagnosed or treated me.  I am beyond thrilled that the rash has cleared and very grateful to Dr. Zipperstein for his kindness and expertise.

Dr Z was just wonderful. He is kind, companionate, and very thorough. He answered all my questions and did not dismiss any of my concerns as some doctors do. He is the only MD I don't mind visiting:)

Extremely rude and inconsiderate to his patients. Not willing to listen to what they have to say about their own health; difficult to talk to. Would absolutely recommend going elsewhere.

I was born in Kaiser Permanente and remember some of the nightmarish stories that people would say about the organization, no matter which Bay Area location they were at. I&#39;ve been seeing the Head of Dermatology for at least the past 8+ years. He is the most patient, attentive, caring, and knowledgable MD that anyone could every have. He started me on a new medication this past March, and has actively monitored and changed the doses to support optimal health. His suggestions from previous visits has consistently hit the mark in addressing whatever issue(s) I was dealing with. If you are looking to find the best Dermatologist in SF there are two things you may want to know:<br><br>1. Kaiser Permanente has changed their operations in terms of having an &#34;Overall health picture of You,&#34; so you can see any MD at any facility and know that they will have access to your history. With a referral from your regular MD you can even see a specialist that contracts with Kaiser and contact them, or any of your valued MDs, via intranet email. <br><br>2. Dr. Zipperstein IS the bestofthebest Dermatologists in San Francisco, and at Kaiser on Geary Street; knowledgeable, compassionate, tentative, clear and concisely communicates and utilizes best practices for followup.

I was seen by Dr. Zipperstein a few years ago.  I was impressed by his thoroughness and also his patience.  I felt very comfortable detailing all my concerns to him.  Instead of diagnosing the problem and moving on, he explained the medicine behind my condition and made sure I was knowledgable about my treatment.  This is what I appreciate the most from physicians, those who listen and teach, and are kind in the process.  Now that I&#39;m back in the bay area I&#39;m happy to have him as my dermatologist again.

He is the best dermatologist I have ever been to.  He is very easy to talk to and made me feel very comfortable.

Dr Zipperstein is one of the most patient doctor with the best demeanor I&#39;ve ever experienced. Unfortunately, my new workplace does not offer Kaiser and i&#39;ve had to seek another dermatologist. He was my doc for 3 years and he was great! Highly recommended

Dr. Zipperstein has the absolute best bedside manner I have ever encountered! He was gentle, caring, efficient, smart and professional. I would give Dr. Zipperstein the highest recommendation without hesitation; he is worth joining Kaiser alone!

I was a patient of Dr. Zipperstein&#39;s for 2 years until I took a new job which didn&#39;t offer Kaiser as a medical plan.  It was really unfortunate that I had to switch to another dr. because he was really good at what he did.  Whatever skin issue I had, he cured.  He didn&#39;t just look at the problem for a second and diagnose it, he spent quality time to figure out what it could be.  He was also very easily accessible via email.  He answered my questions via email within an hour!  Very impressive for a busy doctor.  He&#39;s very trustworthy, professional, and truly caring.  He&#39;d also right down suggestions for you on how to solve certain skin issues.
