Coast Dermatology & Laser Surgery Center

I absolutely love Dr Goldberg & his staff are THE BEST! More like friends than a ferns office. I look forward to my visits & tell all my friends about them. I visit the Dr for exams, check-​ups & Botox and I visit Charity the aesthetician about twice a month to keep my skin in check. Can’t say enough about how this office!

Thank you Dr. Goldberg & Christina for always being so kind & accommodating! I’ve been coming to the office for years and wouldn’t consider letting anyone else take care of my skin!

I love Dr. Goldberg and his entire staff! During my initial consultation, Dr. Goldberg took time to go over the «problems» that I was concerned about. He explained all of my options and he made me feel very comfortable. If you are looking for excellent results that look natural, Dr. Goldberg would be a fantastic choice. I am a patient for life!

Dr. Goldberg and his associate, Charity, helped me clear up my face before my web series aired. I am so happy that I gave Coast Derm a call and that he was able to squeeze me in after I told him about my strict timeframe. His willingness to adapt is admirable.
PRO TIP: Don’t breakout a week before the cameras are on you.

If you want excellent results, great service and a warm and welcoming environment than I highly recommend Dr. Goldberg and Team. They are amazing! They go above and beyond. Dr. Goldberg and Medical Aesthetician Charity Ries have helped me achieve my total skin care goals. I can’t thank them enough! If you’re looking for the best results, I definitely recommend Dr. Goldberg and Team at Coast Dermatology and Laser Surgery Center in Laguna Beach, California.

I went back to Dr. Goldberg to have a tiny mole on my face removed and he did an amazing job. It was located on the side of my nose, so he really made sure to be extra careful to minimize any chance of scarring. He also offered different numbing options to minimize the pain of the initial numbing shot! He’s so sweet! He really cares about his patients.
Dr. Goldberg has also been treating me for my chronic contact dermatitis on my face, and my face looks amazingly clear thanks to him! I just make sure to check in with him every so often to keep the dermatitis at bay.
I’ve been a patient here for over 5 years and I couldn’t be happier. I’ve suffered with acne and other skin problems since I was 10 years old. Anyone with skin problems can understand the mental anguish that comes with it. I’m 36 years old now and my face has never looked better! I highly recommend making an appointment with Dr. Goldberg if you are suffering from seemingly incurable skin problems.

I have been a patient of Dr. Goldberg and Dr. Bobby for years. I really have a hard time believing some of these more negative reviews.
Both docs are caring, skilled practitioners in my experience. I refer friends and family to this practice regularly. 5 stars for Coast Dermotology.

I just logged in here to leave my review about the stellar treatment I received at Coast Derm/​Dr Glenn Goldberg’s office and I am shocked to see that someone obviously has come to this site and posted under a fake account since it is quite clear that Chelsea B and M. H. are one and the same person. Well, let me just say, maybe there was more to that story than meets the text here. I say this because I have been visiting this office for treatment of all dermatology matters for years now and not once have I experienced what this person is stating. The staff is fantastic and bend over backward to meet all my needs and answer all my questions! I won’t need another dermatologist as long as I live in this area! Every office hocks their wares. I have always bought products in the office and love everything they have reccommended for me. Go check it out for yourself! By the way, my skin looks fabulous!

Wow… that was one of the worst medical experiences I have ever had. Dr. Glen Goldberg needs some serious training in how to behave and why. Totally lacking in bedside manner! I waited 2 ½ months for an appointment with this doctor. I came in to have cancerous spots on my face removed and discuss a skin care plan for my face that experiences painful cystic acne every month. He never even bothered to check my chest, back, or rest of my body for pre-​cancerous spots… I had to ask his nurse practitioner as an after thought and her assessment was somewhat lacking and critical regarding my skin (most of the damage that was caused 30 years ago when I was a child!). I have fair skin and had my share of damage when I was kid, but now as an adult I wear sunscreen regularly and obviously care about my skin enough since I bothered to go to a doctor. When we started discussing my cystic acne and I explained how painful it is, he said I was on an HMO and they did not cover much… even if I was in a significant amount of pain there was nothing a dermatologist could do! He recommended a plan… mostly the use of his private label skincare products which «I may or may not be able to afford». When I asked him about any other treatments to help my skin treatments, he said there was one treatment that would be good but it is $ 1500 and said it was out of price range. Super rude, assuming a patient does not have the money to afford a treatment. He also recommended an oral but it said it would make me hormonal… I said no thank you as my hormones already peak enough once a month… he said «yeah I would not want to see you any more hormonal»…mind you this is after he had already made feel terrible about my skin, my cystic acne, and had assumed I had NO money. I talked to a family friend who works at Mission Hospital after this experience and apparently he has a reputation that follows him among doctors and nurses– condescending, self-​centered, self-​fulfilling, and rude are few of the adjectives that I heard. He is more concerned with performing money making treatments outside of insurance and stuffing his self label products down your throat that more than likely have greater profit margins than working with patients and insurance that have legitimate health concerns. I left in tears.

Woah! If you want to look amazing, this is a must stop on your way to youthfulness! Dr. Bobby is fun, skilled, caring, and someone that can work manic on the ugly lines that age leaves behind. The staff is considerate and friendly with a want to help, which you don’t find in every medical office. If I could give 10 stars — I would!!! Call and schedule an appointment for a skin check and consider updating your look while there, you won’t regret it. Plus, Dr. Bobby created UVO sun protection to help aid in the fight against UV Rays. For a couple dollars a bottle you can be protected from the sun for 3 – 5 hours!

I visited with Christina, physicians assistant, so kind and welcoming! New my struggle of dealing with acne, made a daily skin care régime and told me how to use the products she recommended, very helpful and I am hopeful her treatments will work!

Would never go back! De Goldberg performed a procedure on me which I noticed was done incorrectly. During the visit he was short tempered & very rude. His assistance did nothing but stare me up and down with a strange look on her face. The entire staff seemed miserable… The visit was awful! Dr Goldberg will not stand to be corrected and when I tried to tell him his fillers were uneven, he lashed out at me saying let me do my job!!! This is worst filler job I ever had. I Would not reccomend him.

I am writing this review mostly for Charity, the Medical Esthetician. Charity is amazing and she does wonders for my skin. I missed seeing her at my usually scheduled time by 2 weeks and my skin staged a revolt. Charity got me patched up and healed in one visit. Charity is so personable and really connects with her clients. Even if Charity moved to LA I’d make time to drive up there for my facials.

More interested in selling you his products and a facial than checking your skin for problems.

No wait, friendly staff and assistants, thorough skin cancer screening and most importantly, brilliant doctor! Did not miss any spots and treated them immediately. I’m feeling motivated to start a new skin regimen!!!

Dr. Goldberg is the best. Takes time to understand his patients’ needs and does excellent work!

I have been going to Dr. Goldberg’s office for years and love Dr. Golberg, Phon, and the entire staff. Everyone is very friendly and they really accommodate you for appointments. I have tried several dermatologists previously and this is the best by far.

Best dermatological team around! From the second you walk into the door you feel the welcoming atmosphere. The office staff, nurses and Dermatologists are great! And their esthetician is the best in the area!

I’ve been coming to Dr. Goldberg for 6 years now. His staff is super friendly, and his skincare line has changed my complexion when nothing else worked. For Botox-​Phon is the master! She is so thoughtful and takes her time to make sure you feel comfortable every step of the way. They are very high tech using iPads in lieu of old school paperwork. I recommend Dr. Goldberg’s team if you want to change your skin for the better.

I’ve been going to this office for several years. They have helped me make my acne significantly better. They have always taken time to speak with me about my concerns. It is always easy to schedule an appointment and the office staff are very helpful and friendly.
