Laub Dermatology & Aesthetics

It was a pleasure returning to Dr. Laub’s office after living out of state for the past four years. I have on going sun damage problems and need skin checks all the time. He and his very competent and friendly staff were wonderful, thorough in their examination and made common sense suggestions to stay on top of sensitive skin. His office atmosphere is warm and inviting and everyone one is professional and attentive. I first started going to Dr. Laub in the early 1990’s and find him to be smart, sensitive to client’s needs and follows through with everything he finds that might look suspicious during a skin check. He is highly recommended!

I had a good experience here as I was a first time patient going in for a skin exam. Everyone was cool, from the nurse to the doctor to the skin aesthetician, and they all know wha they are doing. They are pretty organized and really nice. They do medical and cosmetic treatments at this office. I will definitely go back for all of my skin needs.

Had a great first time experience with Dr. Laub today. Went in for a skin check and he went ahead and decided to remove some suspicious moles on the spot. Was concerned going into his office because of some of the bad reviews, but was more than happy with the entire experience. Would absolutely go back! Very nice Dr. and very nice staff!

The team at Laub Dermatology & Aesthetics is amazing! They go the extra mile and really take care of their patients. I had a few moles removed and the process was quick and painless, plus they have followed up with me numerous times with reminders and information. These guys are the best!

I had a good experience with Dr. Laub and his staff. When I called for my appointment, I was scheduled for 2 weeks out. I was seen at the time of my appointment and didn’t have to wait (or waste my time) sitting in the waiting room or exam room. This practice does have a very heavy emphasis on cosmetic. I knew that going in and wanted to hear what kind of non-​invasive options I had to keep my face youthful. I didn’t feel pressured to go to extremes. Dr. Laub and his staff suggested some options that fit with my concerns. I also had a full skin cancer screening that was more detailed and comprehensive than other dermatologists I’ve seen. I found Dr. Laub to be pleasant and friendly. I didn’t experience the arrogance that other reviewers have mentioned. I would recommend scheduling an appointment if you are interested in keeping your skin youthful. If you are looking strictly for medical dermatology, you might be better served at a different practice.

Dr. Laub was fantastic and I will definitely be returning to him if I need to! He was very kind and listened intently to my concerns. I was very please with his clear-​cut explanation of his diagnosis and the remedy we would implement. I really enjoyed my visit and would highly recommend Dr. Laub to anyone.

Went to Dr. Laub. I was very scared because of the skin conditions that he treated but everything came out great! Would definitely recommend him.

Dr. Laub is the best, I wish all doctors were as good and genuine as he is. I’ve struggled with psoriasis and had some other concerning skin related issue and Dr. Laub went above and beyond by personally calling another doctor to see me the same day for urgent treatment. I am very grateful to have such a good doctor looking after me.

Dr. Laub and his staff are a joy to work with. Prices for «aesthetics» meet (and sometimes are lower) than the other places. Most importantly, when I went for my yearly skin check-​up recently, I was given a thorough look-​over by the amazing, so nice nurse practitioner, Kate Ratto, and then again, by Dr. Laub. The staff melds professionalism with a relaxed atmosphere. I felt comfortable asking questions and was not rushed through. Thanks, Dr. Laub and Kate!

I was referred to Dr Laub by a friend and have been extremely pleased with the results of both dermal filler and Botox/​Dysport. The office is high tech, both friendly and very knowledgeable and Dr Laub has an artists eye, which I appreciate greatly. It makes a difference to be sure. I’ve had these same procedures done a couple of times by others and the results were not nearly as comfortable and looked nowhere near as natural as the work Dr. Laub creates.
I also have never been bruised because of the care this office takes to prepare my skin before the procedure.
The most thrilling part however are the results! I hear comments like «you really look great!» Not «wow, have you done something to your face?»
Dr Laub and his staff Rock!

Dr. Laub is clearly far more interested in selling you expensive aesthetic treatments that you don’t ask for than actually dealing with any other medical dermatology issues. Received an outrageous bill for removing a plantar wart — as a first step. Am told I’ll need 4 treatments ! Not going back. Unethical behavior for a dr.

If you want to pay an outrageous bill with poor service, go here. The women in the office are clueless when it comes to insurance coverage – offering misleading information. They lack empathy and don’t return phone calls. A disgrace of a doctor’s office.

I’ve been seeing Kate Ratto since 2009 or 2010.
If someone told me that Kate was working for a doctor who had a med/​spa truck at Off The Grid, I would follow her there. Not kidding.
Thankfully, I only had to follow her to Dr. Laub’s office, a stone’s throw from where she was before.
Filler, Botox, Laser. Hello… it’s your FACE. You really need to know that the person working on it is expert and knowledgeable. Kate is that person. And beyond even expert and knowledgeable, Kate is an artist.
And she’s sincerely kind.
I’m so grateful she’s still here in Mill Valley.
Kate had a nurse working with her today (also named Kate) who was also a delight. A big thank you to Dr. Laub for hiring both these women.

Dr. Laub is demeaning and condescending to patients and staff. His staff acts afraid of him — to the point they won’t inform you that they no longer accept your insurance — when they have been accepting it for years. They also don’t seem to know the cost of procedures when asked and I’m tired of it. Just fed-​up with the «Emperor’s new Robes» attitude and found a new dermatologist today that my husband adores who is up-​front, professional and has a caring bed-​side manner.

I went in a few yrs ago had one mole removed … it came back. When I called about an appt to revisit the mole issie, they said I would be treated as a new patient… sine it had been a few yrs. REALLY! I paid over $ 200. for a single mole and it came back. And now they want to act as if they never have seen me… Really bad business and I will seek a new place. They also do not return calls.

This review is over due! I went to Dr. Laub’s office when I was in high school when I suffered extreme acne problems. His assistants did miracles! I stopped going after my face finally cleared up but continued to use the products that were recommended to me. Till this day I am always recommending friends and family to see Dr. Laub for acne issues. He is defiantly on the pricy side but I didn’t care. It’s important to take care of yourself at any cost.

I had an undiagnosed skin condition (little bumps) that lasted for over 6 months that was only on the tips of my fingers and toes. The burning and itching was absolute torture. I missed work and could only find relief when I numbed them in ice water. I went to Dr Laub’s office several times and he had no answer for me. He prescribed prednisone but it didn’t work. After the 4^th visit he finally suggested removing one of the bumps but the biopsy was inconclusive because he had waited too long to do the biopsy.
Throughout the entire experience he had the nerve to tell me that I was imagining it. It was in my head. I totally agree with the other reviewers that his bedside manner is terrible. He was arrogant and treated me like I was crazy. I was furious and insulted. Do not go to Dr. Laub!

A good doctor is hard to find. And i think Unilocal is an invaluable tool when it comes to selecting the right physician for your specific needs.
That’s why I felt the need to review my recent experience at Dr. David Laub’s office. Let’s face it, no one likes going to the doctor (unless of course, you’re a hypochondriac). Unfortunately, I had a little skin tag (don’t ask) that needed to be removed. I called up Dr. Laub’s to make an appointment expecting that they’d schedule me in a few weeks. I was pleasantly surprised when they told me that they could see me that same day.
Their Mill Valley office is right off the freeway and has plenty of parking. Everyone in the staff was super friendly. After filling out the necessary paperwork, they put me in a room that overlooked the beautiful Richardson Bay. It’s not often you get a hospital room with a view. My doctor came in and introduced himself as Justin. Not Dr. So and So. Just Justin. He was very informal and personable. It immediately put me at ease. I explained to him my situation. He took the time to answer all my dermatological questions in a way that I could understand and then he did his thing. My procedure was quick and painless. He wrote up my prescription and then sent me on my way.
Now a lot of doctors tend to treat a patient and then give you excuses for why you need to come back for multiple visits (it’s so that they can charge you more money). But not Justin. He acknowledged that our work was more or less done, especially if I applied the medication he prescribed. I really appreciated that.
The whole experience from beginning to finish was just 30 minutes. Hell, I’ve had haircuts that have lasted longer. In any case, I would definitely recommend this dermatologist if you’re living in Marin.

I’ve probably been to half the dermatologists in Marin, for two reasons. Their next appointment isn’t for a month or more, and when I finally get there, they’re rushed, rude and more concerned with doing multiple billable procedures and selling add-​ons than actually taking care of the patient.
I can’t say Dr. Laub’s availability is much better, but I lucked into a next-​day cancellation.
He sure was a refreshing change in the office, though. He wasn’t rushed, talked to me about three different issues, offered me a simpler procedure when he could have done some cutting, and left me feeling that I’d had my first productive, non-​exploited visit to a dermatologist in years.
He’d be worth waiting a month for.

Recently I noticed a strange spot on my chest and was a bit concerned about it. My doctor referred me to Dr. Laub’s office. I called and was going to have to wait about 4 weeks for an appointment. (good sign that he’s busy). Fortunately I was able to get into a cancellation spot two weeks ahead of schedule.
I didn’t have to wait long (pet peeve of mine is long waiting times with doctors) and the entire staff was very friendly.
I had never been to a dermatologist, wasn’t feeling well and was a bit uneasy about the skin check. They put me at ease very quickly.
Dr. Laub took care of a couple possible problems, recommended some good lotion and sent me on my way with a hand shake and a smile.
I would very comfortably recommend Dr. Laub to anyone needing a dermatologist.
