The doctors and staff of Coast Dermatology and Laser Surgery Center are here to meet the needs of all of our patients, but as the COVID-19 crisis continues to evolve at such a rapid pace, and due to the recent California Governor Newsom's stay-at-home order, we are temporarily cancelling ALL NON-ESSENTIAL visits, including all cosmetic treatments and consultations, starting immediately.
We will remain open with a very reduced staff only for emergency patients and are always available via phone or email for any urgent issues or follow-up questions. We are also available to ship any skincare products you may need to purchase.
We are currently offering telemedicine (virtual) visits. To schedule a visit, please call our office at (949) 301-8019.
We urge everyone to follow all recommended guidelines and practice social isolation to improve the present situation. This is a great 'Flatten the Curve' video that we wanted to share: Click Here
