September 28, 2026RAND G.Verified patient
I have never left a doctor’s appointment feeling as dismissed, judged, and emotionally shaken as I did after seeing this provider. She has an exceptionally poor bedside manner. I came to her during an already difficult and emotional situation seeking help for a distressing dermatological issue. Instead of feeling heard or supported, I felt talked down to, judged, and treated as though my concerns were an inconvenience.
Her tone was condescending and dismissive, and I felt she repeatedly tried to convince me I was something I was not. The most disturbing part was reading the visit summary afterward, which contained statements and characterizations I believe were inaccurate and did not reflect what actually occurred.
She had a complete lack of compassion, professionalism, and basic bedside manner. I left feeling significantly more distressed than when I arrived. This was one of the most upsetting experiences I have ever had with a healthcare provide. I would strongly recommend seeking another provider if y

The whole process was quick and seem less. No unnecessary hoops to jump through. They even took care of my skin tags same day even though I didn't originally book that procedure!!
May 20, 2026Bradley W.Verified patient
Doctor Siddiqui was so great! She listened to all my concerns and had really great bedside manner. I throughly enjoyed the visit and left feeling assured and cared for. I highly recommend!
April 15, 2026Kelly O.Verified patient
Good and clean office and front desk and assistants were very nice. The doctor was a bit short but addressed my concerns, however not in detail as I would have liked given my family history. I also did not receive any recommendations outside of creating an annual appointment.

September 23, 2025Story F.Verified patient
Very kind staff walked me through the steps to get a prescription switched over from my old dermatologist out of state. Very patient and friendly.
September 18, 2025Joshaua U.Verified patient
Disconnect between what I heard from the doctor and what the staff told me when I made my appointment.
Staff said, "Yes we treat plantar warts". Doctor said she lacked the tools to treat warts on feet.
Big waste of time.

This dermatology office is very professional and friendly! Being a woman of color, I was pleased to see the diverse clientele as well as staff. Dr. Siddiqui is very knowledgeable and assessed my dermatological issue with a variety of remedies. Her staff was equally informative and kind. I highly recommend La Jolla Cosmetic Laser Clinic.

Very professional and prompt--thoroughly explained everything she did and was planning on doing. She and her assistant made me very comfortable.
January 28, 2025Peter M.Verified patient
I visited for my yearly skin check. My experience was great. I was running late for my appointment, but was still seen promptly and didn’t feel rushed. The appointment was thorough and I feel all my questions were answered. I felt very comfortable sharing my skin concerns with Dr. Siddiqui and will be returning for any follow up appointments needed.
January 27, 2025Alison T.Verified patient
The office staff were very friendly, and the space was clean! The doctor visit itself felt a bit rushed honestly, but the intake nurse was very attentive and listened to my concerns. Overall, I would return but take my time asking questions and going over concerns

Her assistant was also friendly and helpful throughout the visit. I would highly recommend Dr. Siddiqui and her team, and would return for future visits.

I'm not the best at discussing medical issues, even to a doctor! Dr. Siddiqui had me at ease straight away and was extremely knowledgeable and professional. It was great to be able to talk to someone, as though you're chatting to a good friend. So easy. She has a great demeanor and would definitely (and have) recommend to my friends. Thank you Dr. Siddiqui!
November 15, 2024Fraser W.Verified patient
Saw Dr. Siddiqui for an annual screening and to ask questions regarding past/current skin issues. She was extremely rushed despite me being the first patient of the day. She did not give thorough answers.
Front desk staff was very nice. I was seen on time.
Will not return.
October 18, 2024Ryan D.Verified patient
I had a great experience the Doctor was very attentive and listened to all my concerns. After trying to get answers for over 8 months with my primary physician, only one visit with Dr. Siddiqui and she pushed for a biopsy so I we can get answers and treat my issue appropriately and promptly.

They canceled my appointment the day I was to be seen. I left a message requesting an explanation and to rebook my appointment.

Not a good experience. Waste of time and money. She was rushed the whole time and made me feel rushed. She kept looking at her watch as if she had no time for me. I didn’t ask any of the questions I wanted to. She didn’t listen or do anything really,

Fantastic treatment and professionalism. 10/10 recommend.
I had a small mole removed, during the process they were informative, reassuring and had great bedside manner.
I was in and out in 20 minutes tops and they made payment with insurance quick and easy.
Thank you La Jolla Cosmetic Clinic!
March 27, 2024Jared J.Verified patient
Dr. Siddiqui is wonderful. She definitely knows dermatology and provided the best course of treatment to me today. Im very grateful to have found her! I enjoyed her professional yet kind manner as well as the office team. She prescribed me needed antibiotics seamlessly. Thank you!
March 22, 2024Aimee C.Verified patient
Dr Siddiqui has been my dermatologist for 3 years and I would never go anywhere else. She does everything from my skin checks to my Botox and my laser treatments. She's honest and always keeps me looking my best. 10/10!!

Dr. Siddiqui may have saved my life. She insisted we test a brown spot on my face before any procedure was done for It. Turns out it was melanoma which was overlooked by my previous doctors (not affiliated)
in the past. She is very pleasant, and makes time to answers all my questions. She is competent and trustworthy, and puts her patients well being first. A true jewel to La Jolla??

After seeing several doctors for a skin condition, due to a third degree burn on my body. I was very pleased to have found Dr.Siddiqui. She and her staff were professional, kind and they made me feel comfortable during my visit. The entire experience was great! The best part is that her recommendation worked, and I am very happy with my results. I highly recommend her.
