Santa Monica Dermatology Group

Dr. Cutler is one of the best doctors I’ve visited in Santa Monica. She was very direct and transparent about what needed to be done, and she was also thoughtful and accommodating with my insurance. In an area like LA where it can sometimes feel transactional, it was genuinely refreshing to work with a doctor who was kind, understanding, and clearly patient-focused. She performed a quick procedure to remove a cyst on my back, and it was both painless and efficient. I felt comfortable and well cared for throughout the entire visit. Dr. Cutler is highly skilled, professional, and has a warm, reassuring presence that immediately puts you at ease. I highly recommend her.

Dr. Lauren Cutler is the definition of meticulous and professional. She took a slow, thoughtful approach to my Botox, providing honest feedback to ensure the best, most natural results. Her attention to detail is unmatched—she truly treats her work like an art. On top of that, she went the extra mile by addressing some sebaceous glands and even detecting a pre-cancerous spot, proving she genuinely cares about her patients beyond just aesthetics. I couldn’t be happier with my experience and highly recommend her. Looking forward to my next visit!

My husband and I have been patients of Dr Schmidt for probably a decade. Our experiences with her, and the entire staff, has been remarkable. In this current climate, where good and caring healthcare seems more and more difficult to find, we feel lucky to have found SMDG! Aside from the excellent care we receive by Dr Schmidt and her lovely assistant Gina, on occasion where Amy has had difficult cases to diagnose, the entire team of doctors at the office have jumped in to help! We are lucky to be part of this group and recommend the office to all of our friends.

I cannot recommend Santa Monica Dermatology Group highly enough. Not only do we receive tremendous care from Doctor Schmidt, but the whole team provides consistent professionalism and warmth. My family now relies on Dr. Schmidt for all things dermatology related (from the insignificant to the very serious). The team seems committed to our experience as well as our health and goes out of their way to make us feel welcome when we are there.

I absolutely love Santa Monica dermatology group. I’ve been seeing Dr. Adriana Schmidt for years and years after having some really unfortunate experiences with other dermatologists. I had so many others try to get me to buy their expensive products, offer expensive services that were never needed. Dr Schmidt is really fantastic and never makes you feel rushed. This is a great practice especially if you’re on the west side!

My wife and I are long time clients of Dr Schmidt and the SMDG. We have always received the most caring and comprehensive care at their offices and when needed, have always been able to access immediate help/care outside our regular checkups. In this time of less then adequate medical care (or so it feels), we feel lucky to be part of a group like SMDG, where we feel they do care about our health and are fully equipped to take excellent of us.

My experience with Dr. Litak was absolutely awesome! Right from the moment I walked into his office, the staff was super friendly and welcoming. And Dr. Litak himself? Total pro! He really listened to me and took the time to understand my concerns. I felt like he genuinely cared about my well-being. He explained everything in a way that made sense and made me feel comfortable asking questions. I can't recommend Dr. Litak enough. If you're looking for a dermatologist who's not only professional but also really listens to you, he's your guy. Trust me, you won't be disappointed. I'm so glad I found him!
