California Center for Dermatologic Surgery: Ekama Carlson, MD

I saw Dr. Ekama Carlson recently for melanoma excision. My dermatologist Forum Patel recommended me after a routine skin check. Dr. Carlson was just incredible. She has a naturally kind and attentive presence, is extremely knowledgeable, and is also an expert surgeon. I was absolutely stunned at the clean work she did with stitching up the wound (which impacted a tattoo) and as it continues to heal, I continue to be amazed at her skill and precision. She is truly a wonderful provider and she practices with authenticity and efficacy. Her staff and in-office procedures are detailed and efficient as well. I highly recommend!

Dr Carlson is an outstanding doctor in many ways. She was very easy to talk with and made sure to clearly discuss options and the procedure. My surgery involved a large visible incision on my face, which thanks to her impressive skills has almost disappeared. Choosing a doctor is a very important decision. Especially when it involves the potential of lifelong scarring. I highly recommend Dr. Carlson for any of your skin care needs!

Dr. Carlson is a real star - last year she did magnificent mo's surgery on my nose and I turned to her again when I learned I had a suspicious growth on my scalp. Today she took the first step toward resolving the issue and reassured me so I can sleep at night. I trust her completely.and even though I have moved further away, I will continue to go to her for all my dermatology needs.

While a busy practice Dr Carlson and staff are always thorough, explain things and are pleasant and polite. Dr. Carlson is also very talented with needle and thread! 😉

Dr. Carlson has been great in each visit I’ve had with her. She takes the time to explain what she’s doing, what she’s looking at and if there are any procedures, what she’ll be doing. She’s extremely professional, warm and calm and put me at ease when I had any questions. I would highly recommend her.

Dr Carlson was professional and at the same friendly, personable, asked questions, and was skilled at doing the procedure that I needed. Previously I had seen another dermatologist that was quite the opposite that I stopped seeing, so I felt lucky to find Dr. Carlson! She also has a great staff.

A very positive experience! Dr. Carlson was personable, efficient, and thorough. Both Marabelly and Anna Lee were friendly and helpful. Finally, the suite was fresh and nicely furnish with some great pictures.
