FINALLY, a dermatologist visit where I have felt my concerns were listened to and validated. Dr Cayce and the nurse where both so nice and easy to understand as they explained conditions and treatments to me. I even got a paper to take home clearly explaining what I'm supposed to take/do and how often. My only complaint is that parking is annoying at this place, so give yourself time before and after your appt to deal with that.
Dr. Rachael Cayce was very knowledgeable and was the only doctor (from the other two I’ve seen recently for the same issue) that took interest in the matter as oppose to dismissing my skin problem as simply an allergic reaction. I walked out of her office with hope to finding a solution soon.

Verified patient
Like most dermatologists I've seen, she schedules a million appointments a day and doesn't leave herself time to actually consult with the patient. She looked at and listened to me for less than a minute before she finished her diagnosis. And then she hands out a prepared form with instructions, so the treatment is not individualized beyond a few options on this form. She didn't take the time to listen to my questions and concerns or explain treatment options, costs, etc... I did my best to ask the questions I had, but I could tell that my questions were annoying her as she had the ticking clock of her next appointment in her head... Very frustrating experience, but even more frustrating that this seems to be the universal way that the dermatology industry handles business...
I could tell it was super busy, but Dr. Cayce didn't let that effect her behavior when speaking with me. She took her time to ask me questions and really listen and then make sure I understood everything before I left. I really appreciated that since I've been to other doctors who seem to rush in and out and leave me feeling confused. Also appreciated that they were upfront about additional costs of treatments that weren't covered by my insurance so I could make an informed decision rather than being surprised when I checked out.
Verified patient
I LOVED this office! Everyone that works here is so friendly and welcoming! I felt right at home upon arrival. I will definitely be using this office for all of my dermatology needs from now on.
Verified patient

Helped me out with my acne! Amazing :)
Dr. Rachael was incredible! Very helpful, patient, and didn't make me wait. I would definitely recommend her to anyone and I will come back to her. Thank you Dr.!
Verified patient
First time I met Dr Cayce, she made me wait 20min and expedite our appointment in 5 min but she convinced me to come back for Botox. So I did. My appointment was at 8:20am. After more than 30min waiting in a cold room where I was able to hear her chatting with a colleague/customer/friend I decided to leave. I am very disappointed.
Verified patient
Dr. Cayce is amazing. She was so warm and caring and really listened to my needs and concerns. My only criticism is their medical assistant/ check out procedures. I had medication that was being ordered through a company they use. That's fine but as they tried to explain this process, I felt completely rushed to leave.
Verified patient
I checked Dr. Cayce's availability online and received an appointment the same day! The office is clean and the staff very polite and professional. Dr. Cayce examined me for moles and took the time to thoroughly explain in plain english each one. She froze a few and surgically removed another for a biopsy. She is pleasant, patient and very personable. Since I don't have insurance and paid cash, she adjusted the rate for the visit. I would highly recommend her to any patient.
Verified patient
Amazing doctor and staff! Highly recommended!
Verified patient
Dr. Cayce is the best -- and kindest -- doctor I have ever been to! I wish she specialized in every kind of medicine so I could go to for everything. I totally trust that she knows exactly what she's doing and she is so sweet. Best ever!

Dr. Cayce is a phenomenal doctor. Whipsmart and kind. Great bedside manner. She's the only dermatologist I've given repeat business.
Verified patient
Dr. Cayce is very informative, I definitely felt like I left her office knowing a lot more about my skin condition than I knew before. I will be going back to Dr. Cayce for all my skin care needs.
Verified patient
Not being from Los Angeles always has me concerned when finding a new doctor. I feel blessed to have found Rachael. I was having problems with my scalp (red bumps/sores) and she knew exactly what it was and prescribed the treatment. Beautiful office and very efficient. Didn't wait but 3 min.
Verified patient

Verified patient
The office was in a strange building but was clean, inviting and comfortably cool. Dr. Cayce was awesome and reassured me about some skin questions. I would definitely go back to see her for further check ups or skin issues! She was also dressed up for Halloween which was an added bonus. :) Everyone in the office was helpful and kind and the people waiting around me were seen quickly.

She assessed my skin and was really quick with everything, which I appreciated. I can tell she knows her stuff and she really cares, which only added to the experience.
