Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Great experience!
Dr. Romero and her staff were so warm and welcoming to me, and I only waited a couple of minutes to see her. Dr. Romero herself makes you feel like you've known her for years, and she gave me a lot of information about the procedure and what to expect. She performed the procedure quickly, and I am very satisfied with my experience! I would recommend her to any one.

The BEST Doctor!
Dr. Romero is a great Doctor, truly one of the best in my opinion. She cured a bad skin rash that I had and she also removed a mole on my face. I have to say she is very knowledgeable and extremely attentive to her patients. She takes her time and explains everything in detail so you know what to expect. She is super friendly and takes great care of you. I’m extremely happy to have found her. She is a winner in every category. I would give her a 10 star.

I came to Dr. Romero for a Pilar cyst removal on my head. She told me they always grow back. If the dr. removes whole cyst and cleans the area they do not, so thought was just being cautious. The day of removal was hurried, said she thought she got most of it and stitched up. Could not make stitch removal as in hospital with daughter so called, office was rude. Removed a stitch at home, pushed on swelling and five 1/8-1/4" lumps of left behind cyst popped out onto mirror. Will never go back.

Took my 15 y/o son to see Dr. Romero for Eczema. She spent maybe 10 minutes with us. She had no interested in hearing about our experiences with what has worked and what hasn't. She got irritated with me for not wanting to put my son on steroids and antibiotics. I found her to be cold, and arrogant. Unfortunately, I find that many dermatologist practices are more focused on the cosmetic side than actual real skin issues.

I commute from Ventura to see Dr. Romero and her staff. I've always been pleased with the professional and thorough treatment I receive. Everyone is extremely knowledgeable and they make you feel very comfortable. I have confidence in their advice and decisions. I've even taken my 4 year old daughter in and they made her feel very comfortable as well. I recommend this office to everyone who asks for dermatology advice.

Dr. Romero has terrible bedside manner, refused to answer my questions because there wasn't time in the appointment, but then spent 5 minutes trying to sell me laser hair removal. She then prescribed me medicine that is harmful to an unborn baby without asking me if I was pregnant, even though I told her int he past appointment that I was trying. She's just awful.

I've been seeing Andrea Bechtel since 2011 for Botox and Juvaderm. She is very skilled at both. I can honestly say she has never overdone any treatment. I can't even talk her into adding a little more here or there if she thinks it will look unnatural. She is very gentle with the needle and has a calming demeanor. If you've ever considered either treatment, I highly recommend you try Andrea. I've been going to her for five years and wouldn't consider trying anyone else.

I want to first state that employees and Dr Romero are warm friendly and eager to meet my needs. After first injections without positive results to my satisfaction I was gifted yet another opportunity to get the results I had wanted. I have deep lines above my lips so it's been difficult to see the improvement from injections I appreciate the care and sensitivity I received and hope to continue with more helpful improvements.
