Reviews for San Francisco, CA Dermatologist Dr. Kathleen Welsh Skin Cancer Screenings Procedures
"I rarely post but I highly recommend Dr Welsh. I have seen her for over 15 years and am so grateful for her medical expertise, her detailed approach to aesthetics, and her top notch diagnostic skills. She has made significant impacts with me and my family members. She was the only dermatologist that was able to diagnose a rare skin disease for me where so many other dermatologist got it wrong. She has spotted itty bitty skin cancer and gave me a top notch referral for treatment. I would have never seen it until it was far more advanced. Dr Welch’s clinical skills are excellent and she has helped me many times with family members with tricky skin situations. In fact, a family member has seen 10 doctors for a skin condition and not one of those highly recommended /esteemed doctor’s could figure it out. Dr Welch was the only who got it right . I feel very grateful for that . I also appreciate that if she is not the right person for a treatment, she has no problem referring you to someone who is- Dr Welch is a smart and confident doctor! While Dr Welch has recently focused her expertise recently more on esthetics , she really considers the whole person. She gives great recommendations and I appreciate her patience with me because I think I probably ask her the same questions about my skin every time I see her. Ha! She sets realistic goals for her clients and will help you feel and look great. If you want a doctor to treat you as a whole person , Dr Welch is for you! I also have to say, I really enjoy her nurses and staff. Very nice and courteous crew. A happy environment Jill"

"I have complete confidence in Dr Welsh. She has treated me for around 10 years, cleared up my rosacea, removed several pre-cancerous growths and advised me on a number of treatments and procedures that have improved my appearance and the health of my skin considerably. I really like her products and take her advise on all skin issues."
"Dr Welsh has been my favorite dermatologist for over 20 years - I'm pretty sure she is the reason I don't have skin cancer from my careless youth ;) She (and her staff) always make me feel good when I am there and I get great results w everything I've tried (including fillers). Kathleen Welsh is a perfectionist and a true artist! Dr Welsh knows my style (she knows I don't want to look "over done") and gives (on request) great advice for what I really need (instead of what I thought I needed) often saving me $$. I trust her completely (based on 2 decades of stellar results)! I was introduced to Dr Welsh by a product rep friend (it's part of her job to know everybody in the industry) as a wonderful person and excellent doctor. I have always been glad of every visit! Recently I tried her cleansing pads while camping - who knew you could get refreshed glowing skin w/out water? I'm one of those people who breaks out if I miss cleansing morning or night, so these are little gems. Honestly, I cannot lavish enough praise on Dr Welsh (and her staff) for excellent care and great results! I'm pretty sure Dr Welsh really does love skin!"

"I've been going to Dr. Welsh for 10 years and have always been pleased with my experience in every way. Dr. Welsh caught the beginning of skin cancer on my face, which my primary was able to remove immediately. She and her staff are friendly, warm and attentive. (Yes, sometimes doctors do run behind...)I love Dr. Welsh and her staff more than they love skin!"

"I have gone to Dr. Welsh for years for skin checks, and have been grateful for her thoroughness. I've had a couple of spots removed and certainly felt that there was professionalism and attentiveness, and I am glad I didn't have anything develop into a problem that was harder to cure. I've also had IPL done by both Katie and Jane. Again, very professional, but also friendly. I was impressed by the amount of information I was given to insure that I knew the risks of what I was doing, as well as what my skin reactions would be and after-care. I've been VERY pleased with the results. I love this office. I have found all of the people there to be extremely friendly and attentive- I'm not sure why all the negative comments about the staff. I've been going for over 5 years. Maybe you should forget emailing and just lift up the phone, that doesn't seem to be a good method of communication with them. Years of experience with this group makes me want to recommend them to anyone. I just went there yesterday, and was reminded of how much I like them. Added bonus- fairly inexpensive parking lot on the Geary side of the building."
