Re: Pediatric dermatologist for 2-year-old (March 2007)
Hi - try Dr. Beet-Shay at Oakland Kaiser. She specializes in children and has a no-nonesense approach. Good Luck
Dr Beets-Shay is a female dermatologist at Kaiser Oakland who has special interest in pediatric dermatology, also Dr Becker is a great doc with a very gentle manner who I would also recommend. Kaiser mom

Re: Dermatologist for rosacea and eczema (Sept 2006)
I have rosacea and am very happy with my treatment at Kaiser and I just found out that non-Kaiser members can see Kaiser doctors. I was quite surprised and their rates are reasonable. I saw Dr. Wilkins this week and he gave me unbiased information and referrals, should I pursue them, for treatment for rosacea, spider and varicose veins and other types of laser treatments. He is affiliated with UCSF and also gave me the name of a UC affiliated dermalogist who he thinks is the best in the Bay Area. Private dermatologists want you to use their equipment which is not necessarily the best treatment for you. I am more comfortable getting an opinion from a doctor who is not involved in the treatment Judy

Dermatologist for sun-damaged skin

Sept 2005

Hi, I have Kaiser and am looking for a good,proactive dermatologist to check and probably treat my 50-something fair, sun-damaged skin, due to recent fast escalating problems. I'm willing to go to any Kaiser in the Bay Area if someone has good experiences to report. Also looking for info on docs to avoid. Thanks.


My family has gone to Dr. Ostreicher and Dr. Beets-Shay at Oakland Kaiser and been very satisfied with both of them. NBS
I have had good experiences with Dr. Cornelius at Kaiser Richmond. She is not touchy feely but seems to know her stuff. SM
I can recommend Dr. Reisman at Kaiser Oakland. He is kind, understanding, and gets to business. I think you will like him Susan S
I work in pediatrics at Kaiser and think that Dr. Beets-Shay is a great dermatologist! Rebecca

Dermatologist for poor skin

Feb 2005

I am currently looking for a KAISER Dermatologist in Oakland, but will consider other areas as well. (I am new to Kaiser and not yet sure if I can see Kaiser doctors outside of my area or not). I am 26 and have had crapy skin since I was 8. It consisted of acne (sometimes cystic) hyperpigmation, enlarged pores, etc. Now, my biggest problem is blackheads and hyperpigmation - usually treated via facials with extractions, peels, etc. I also have stretch marks on my hips since I was 12 that turned into dark, raised thick scars. Even now, they can still be painful and itchy impossible. Does anyone know of a good dermatologist that specializes in these issues? Carla


I don't have a great dermatologist reccomendation at Kaier - Kaiser dematologists don't do what they call cosmetic procedures and it is extremly hard to get an appointment with them - however you can go out of network if your problem is serious enough. There is a dermatologist named Greta something in Berkeley who might be pretty good - I think you can find her info in the archives on the Berkeley Parents Network - if you do go to her or any dermatologist ask about the Obagi system - which is awesome for hyperpigmentation problems. I do not reccomend Katie Rodan at all - she is generally not available and not good with hyperpigmentation - I get the sense that she is just a product pusher and her office staff could use some improvement in the courtesey and discretion department which is the absolute deal breaker for me to say the very least. There is a good dermatologist at the San Francisco Laser Center that a friend of mine went to and loved her the link to their website is: www.sfcosmeticsurgery.com

The other thing you might want to try is calling a prominent esthetician named Katheryn Leverette she owns Solutions Skin Center www.solutionscenter.com I have been going to her for over seven years and she is great. The number is 510-893-7546 anonymous


I've worked with Dr. Reisman several times and have not only found him to be very good (good listener, straight shooter), but also savvy and willing to help you get through Kaiser bureaucracy (e.g., he prescribed a non-formulary drug but added a notation that allowed it to be covered as a formulary drug). He's in Oakland. Jennie
