Bay Area Cosmetic Dermatology

I've been seeing Dr Austin for almost 10 years and cannot recommend her too highly. She listens to her clients, respects them and is very thoughtful about recommendations. Her treatments have all been perfect. The team are fabulous and helpful.

I’ve been a patient at BACD for over 5 years. Beautiful facility, with a kind and professional treatment team. Dr. Austin is one of the best doctors in California- and certainly the best the of the Bay Area. I’ve been treated for skin issues that other doctors cannot properly diagnose or treat. But Dr. Austin has phenomenal knowledge of skin, women’s health, and treatments for those that are multi-ethnic. (Like myself!) Most of all she educates the patient on how to care for their body and skin for the best long term effects. This includes having amazing products to treat the skin. ( see my skin care products below). I have rosacea and I wouldn’t trust my face or skin with anyone else . Thank you to the BACD team ! Stunning results that have transformed how I think about my health, skin, and body.

This practice is top-shelf from the front desk to the Drs. Have been a pt of Dr. Austin’s for several years now and she initially corrected a very bothersome, adverse outcome I had experienced at another practice. Dr. Austin is one of the best Drs I have ever seen; her knowledge and aesthetic talent is second to none. I am so grateful I researched long and hard for the best dermatologist in SF! ♥️

Hello! As a long-time patient of Dr. Welsh, just wanted to say how very pleased I was with the results of my (overdue!) Restalyne appointment yesterday - thank you, I feel refreshed! Also- snaps to Nate at the front desk, Jo the greeting nurse and Eugene the attending nurse. You are all wonderful and certainly add joy to my daily living! Thank you!

I had the pleasure today of working with Katy Leonard, who did a terrific job on my skin. I have been coming to Bay Area Cosmetic Dermatology for quite a while and they always do a fabulous job. I give them the highest recommendation!

My experience at Bay Area Dermatology was far from being favorable. The staff was very friendly, however I felt that the physician, who was treating me was pushing the Obagi products and treatments to consider in the future before she addressed the reason why I was there. After my treatment, I was handed a bill which included a consultation fee of $275 and $450 for the treatment. I thought it was outrageous! Most offices will charge a consultation fee if the patient chooses NOT to be treated. This is the first time I had to pay the consultation fee as well as the treatment. I was stunned and felt robbed. As I was leaving the office, I was handed a list of recommended Obagi products instead of recommendations for post treatment care. I would never recommend this office to anyone and I will never return for any further treatments. This office is very unprofessional and places making money ahead of patient care.

My experience was excellent. All of the staff are professional and kind. Mary Krempa RN explained everything in detail before my Tixel treatment, which was done very efficiently with little to no pain. I will be returning to see her for the rest of my treatments. I highly recommend Mary Krempa RN and this practice as a whole.
