Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Dr Ball immediately put me at ease though I’m very self conscious about me skin condition. More importantly, she identified cancerous lesions on my skin undetected by my (now ex) dermatologist and provided me with caring, thorough treatment to keep me healthy. I would recommend her highly to anyone fortunate enough to see her.

Dr. Ball is awesome!
Dr. Ball was absolutely wonderful. It was my first visit with her and the skin institute. She looked at my lip inside and out and decided I needed another biopsy. Dr. Ball performed the biopsy that day quickly and easily. That is efficient and in my case medically important. Within 10 days I had the results (yes, cancer) and a new appointment.I would highly recommend Dr. Ball!

Just horrible
My first dr at cali skin institute. She was so bad that i never return although so many like the facility. I had a two month wait. On day of my appt she was late. Then she spent less than 5 mins. She didnt bother to examine the skin. She took a very quick glance and wrote a prescription. I questioned her about the prescription asking what does it do and what can i expect. She couldnt answer
