    About our process
    Mar 27, 2025
    My doctor was clear about what next steps were (evaluation of my slides by UCSF) and he couldn't tell me much u til those slides were read but that he was hopeful that the post MOHS surgery might be resolved with stitches without the need for flaps or grafts.
    Mar 26, 2025
    Excellent medical care and kindness of doctors and staff throughout.
    Mar 19, 2025
    The provider was extremely accommodating and respected my child's wishes .
    Mar 02, 2025
    The care providers who assisted me on this date were absolutely amazing.
    Feb 27, 2025
    Instructions were a bit unclear about how the butterfly bandages come off-didn't address pain besides the standard ibuprofen
    Feb 25, 2025
    Had to ask for printed aftercare instructions. Those were emailed to me as an after visit summary two days later-not timely.
    Feb 18, 2025
    Great staff
    Feb 15, 2025
    The doctors are Stars!
    Feb 14, 2025
    I felt very privileged to be under the care of Dr ! He treated me with the highest skill and professionalism. He is very kind , caring and personable
    Feb 14, 2025
    I've been coming to the clinic for decades and know many staff. Dr. Newhouse is informative and thorough. Your newest doc in training who accompanied him was very good and informative.
    Feb 06, 2025
    He said I needed to see a surgeon and would put in a referral. I received a call from the surgeon's office the next day. Great
    Feb 06, 2025
    Everyone was extremely nice and helpful.
    Feb 02, 2025

    Lon day but professional treatment!
    Jan 11, 2025
    Dr. Neuhaus was professional and courteous. Dr. Dzuali was also professional and courteous. Both doctors listened and explained the procedure.
    Jan 10, 2025
    Excellent communication.
    Dec 31, 2024
    We love Dr. Neuhaus. He has a great bedside manner and is the best as a dermatologist.
    Dec 18, 2024
    Went over each option with me in detail
    Dec 17, 2024
    He was helpful and professional, explained things well.
    Dec 14, 2024

    Excellent and professional
    Dec 07, 2024
    Excellent care and communication by the provider and the entire team.
    Dec 03, 2024
    Great experience. I've had a number of procedures at this office and have always appreciated the excellent care I've been given by everyone.
    Nov 22, 2024
    As stated earlier, the bad side effects I had from the procedure were difficult to communicate because of difficulties getting on the UCSF portal. Once I accomplished that, all was well, and timely. Dr. Neuhaus particularly has been very caring and given much time to the problems that arose.
    Nov 16, 2024
    I was seen by a Fellow and an attending. Both did an excellent job.
    Nov 10, 2024
    All the people since I am in customer service, as well as doctors and nurses provided me with EXCELLENT care.
    Nov 07, 2024
    Good
    Nov 07, 2024
    My care at UC was satisfactory and courteous and friendly
    Oct 17, 2024
    I love Dr Newhouse and all the staff are always so friendly & helpful the only snafu was no instructions. & I have not had fillers in awhile , I wanted to read those .
    Oct 16, 2024
    Excellent
    Oct 15, 2024
    Again, he seemed a little rushed. But, from what I can tell, he did a great job.
    Oct 14, 2024
    Great job
    Oct 13, 2024
    Everyone was very considerate addressing post-accident facial concerns.
    Oct 08, 2024
    Outstanding caring professionals from start to finish. Very impressive.

    Dr Neuhaus is an outstanding clinician in his clinical skills and wonderfully friendly and supportive manner.
    Sep 07, 2024
    The experience was wonderful.
    Sep 07, 2024
    It would be impossible to have been treated better!
    Sep 06, 2024
    Asked a few questions and was requested to wait until after the surgery. Not sure why the wait, and Dra did not return after the surgery
    Sep 04, 2024
    I am a physician, and I find Dr. Neuhaus to be a superb clinician and communicator. Couldn't be more pleased with Dr. Neuhaus and the UCSF staff.
    Sep 02, 2024
    Excellent service. Cancer gone
    Aug 31, 2024
    Dr Neuhaus and his fellow (don't remember his name) were both fantastic in bedside manner, communication and skill in taking care of the problem.
    Aug 29, 2024
    UCSF is my go to for medical care. Each and every visits have met or exceeded my expectations .
    Aug 29, 2024
    Dr. Neuhaus is a kind, caring, excellent practitioner with great talent who uses his gifts for the care of his patients. Moreover his example sets an excellent standard for others under his supervision.
    Aug 29, 2024
    Dr. Neuhaus is an outstanding Dermatologist!
    Aug 27, 2024
    There was some communication breakdown regarding the plan of care established for plastic surgery repair in place from the time of consultation to day of procedure.
    Aug 21, 2024
    Very kind, compassionate and professional
    Aug 20, 2024
    Excellent care and professionalism.
    Aug 17, 2024
    Doctors allowed us to listen to music of my choice while stitching my wound which I thought was awesome.music put me in a different mind set.
    Aug 13, 2024
    The service at the Dermatology center was superb.
    Aug 07, 2024
    I believe the care provider (doctor) removed the samples of tissue, but a resident (I think a resident) stitched me up at completion.
    Jul 31, 2024
    Excellent service all around
    Jul 26, 2024
    Wonderful team, very friendly and assuring.
    Jul 21, 2024
    Awesome experience, very informative, extremely open discussion about procedure and after care. Given this is a teaching environment, I enjoyed the pre-surgical conversation between the three surgeons, and their different "levels" of experience. Having had two prior similar surgeries, the two at UCSF far exceeded my concerns.
    Jul 20, 2024
    Dr. Neuhaus is a talented, inspired, and exceptional practitioner.
    Jul 18, 2024
    Dr Neuhaus was excellent. He spent time to answer all questions and was very reassuring
    Jul 17, 2024
    We had ana amzing experince-- I really appreciate he doctor and the resident,
    Jul 12, 2024
    Dr. Neuhaus is excellent, very attentive!
    Jul 11, 2024
    On the whole, everything is very good.
    Jul 08, 2024
    Every concern I had was addressed
    Jun 13, 2024
    Dr. Neuhaus was so thorough, kind, caring, and great at dealing with the Moh's surgery. I almost can say I enjoyed myself. :)
    Jun 05, 2024
    Best mohs surgery center!
    May 26, 2024
    I was taking care of my an extraordinary team whereby each every member made me feel very special!
    May 24, 2024
    Highly recommended team
    May 23, 2024
    My concerns were not properly evaluated and acted upon. In a manner that was appropriate with the clinical situation. I don't want to be asked "when do you want to come back". I want to hear "I hear your concerns and this should be the schedule and plan for what to do to try to optimize the clinical results"
    May 22, 2024
    From start to finish, the Derm Surg team were outstanding.
    May 21, 2024
    The care and professionalism was perfect. No messing around. In and out.
    May 15, 2024
    Dr. Neuhaus and the staff did an excellent job. This was my second procedure with Dr. Neuhaus. Always confident that he will do a great job!
    May 09, 2024
    I was treated highly professionally
    May 09, 2024
    I saw both Dr. Neuhaus and Dr. Kusari. They both were great. They considered the full scope of the issue, including costs, medical necessity, aesthetics, and the technical details. They were to-the-point and engaged.
    May 07, 2024
    Dr Neuhaus and Dr Singh were great.. Dr Neuhaus has always been just the best
    Apr 26, 2024
    I think a lot of my recommendation will be based on the procedure itself but so far, first impression was good.
    Apr 23, 2024
    Dr. Neuhaus was highly professional
    Apr 22, 2024
    I appreciated the discussion between the doctors on how to repair my wound. It was good to hear them sharing and comparing strategies. I could have skipped all the discussion between everyone re: when everyone was going to go to lunch and who would have to stay behind to finish working on my care.
    Apr 20, 2024
    For my Dermatology needs Dr. Neuhaus and his team, for me,are the best.
    Apr 20, 2024
    The doctor immediately took care of a new growth on my left ear. He sent it in for a biopsy and I received confirmation within a few days. I was very grateful treatment was scheduled so quickly.
    Apr 09, 2024
    The whole time was very good.I was very impressed with the quality of the best service that I ever received.Congratulations!
    Apr 04, 2024

    Second time with the doctor. Same results. Excellence.
    Jan 03, 2024
    Well taken care of by dr Neuhaus
    Jan 03, 2024
    Thank you for all your care.
    Dec 23, 2023
    Both Dr Neuhaus and his Fellow were terrific. The Fellow provided plenty of time with me to answer all of my questions. He even drew my situation on paper. This facilitated a smooth and quick visit with Dr Neuhaus, who was terrific as well. They are the best combination of skin cancer doctors I've experienced/met at UCSF (and I've met several).
    Dec 16, 2023
    Clear, succinct, provided all relevant data points.
    Dec 13, 2023
    This visit was hands down better than previous visits very well cared for in this visit
    Dec 09, 2023
    Loved the experience with Dr Neuhaus, thorough and went over all my issues
    Dec 06, 2023
    My two doctors were excellent.
    Dec 05, 2023
    Dr. Newhouse is the example for a perfect doctor, super professional, very efficient, nice enough but not too nice. Simply exactly who I would like to leave my health concerns in his hands. Always knowledgeable and patiently doing what need to be done.
    Dec 02, 2023
    Overall a very professional experience that was smooth and informative
    Dec 01, 2023
    Excellent care and everything was explained.
    Nov 29, 2023
    Very rushed and kind of hyper. It used to bother me a lot, but now I'm used to it. I ask the resident or fellow my questions because they take the time
    Nov 28, 2023
    I had no problems. My healing was going well.
    Nov 22, 2023
    The doctor engaged well at a human level and was very clear about my results, potential next steps and his recommendation.
    Nov 15, 2023
    Dr. Neuhaus is a brilliant practitioner clearly focused on the desires of his patients.
    Nov 14, 2023
    Excellent! Cannot be better. The exam was thorough, and the diagnosis was very well explained. The treatment options were very well explained. The handover to treatment was excellent.
    Nov 11, 2023
    Everyone I encountered was very thoughtful and caring.
    Nov 10, 2023
    The attending nurse described to me a cream that the head of the department recommends to patients with a similar issue and so I asked my attending physician if he could give it to me for my infection and he did not want to prescribe or even make a effort to find out about it in a very abrupt manner. And, Recommended that I go to another department to see another doctor concerning my issue.
    Nov 07, 2023
    Excellent care provider and supervisor.
    Nov 02, 2023
    I had a very good experience with all aspects of my visit and surgery
    Nov 02, 2023
    The resident doctor was EXTREMELY tuned into communication of information as well as how the information was landing for me. 5+
    Oct 31, 2023
    I have been treated by Dr Neuhaus in the past and I have nothing but praise for him and the people that work with him. Thank you Dr. Neuhaus for always making me feel like I am your only patient.
    Oct 28, 2023
    This was a confusing symptom and took some tests to get a clear diagnosis.
    Oct 27, 2023
    The main provider was very dismissive before he came in the room he decided he couldn't help me. I was told that they were discussing me prior to him coming into the room. He made me feel small and dismissed.
    Oct 25, 2023
    Dr. Neuhaus is amazing, kind, attentive, professional and the only doctor I trust for enhancing my face.
    Oct 19, 2023
    Many thanks to all the staff!!!
    Oct 19, 2023
    All staff was excellent!
    Oct 10, 2023
    Good
    Oct 06, 2023
    Dr. Neuhaus provided options for my continuing care.
    Sep 30, 2023
    I felt rushed, I did not get briefed on any risks to the procedure
    Sep 29, 2023
    All good experiences.
    Sep 25, 2023
    Dr Neuhaus is simply the best. His technical ability is outstanding and his bedside manner is wonderful. He is very personable and engaging and true leader of his team. I would recommend him to anyone!
    Sep 09, 2023
    Follow up care information felt sparse from the provider unless I asked specifics. Instead, the nurse provided all the detailed information plus tips for healing.
    Aug 31, 2023
    Dr. Neuhaus and his team were courteous and professional. They made me feel at ease.
    Aug 29, 2023
    Dr. Neuhaus and his resident provided excellent care, and his nurse/assistant was truly outstanding. It's obvious she cares deeply about the patients she interacts with, and enjoys what she does. Five stars to all!
    Aug 22, 2023
    Everything was done perfectly
    Aug 22, 2023
    Best team I hope not to need again. You were terrific
    Aug 10, 2023
    All attention very good
    Aug 09, 2023
    Wonderful staff
    Aug 07, 2023
    The doctor that saw me was NOT helpful in answering whether he believed that continuing the MOHL's treatment of a Basal Cell might present a problem with scarring of my nose. Upon asking him whether he might might suggest a plastic surgeon if the cancer was deeper than he anticipated, he deflected all my suggestions that a perhaps a plastic surgeon would best handle the scarring to my nose. After much back and forth discussion, I couldn't help but come to the conclusion that his professional stature was being questioned, which wasn't the point. What I wanted to know succinctly, is at what point does a plastic surgeon handle the possible scarring resulting from the procedure as the doctor could not predict how deep he might have to go in order to get all the cancer. He simply explained that he could "handle it". And that answer is not sufficient.
    Aug 04, 2023
    Rushed visit. No explanation/ details/literature provided of recomended treatment. Was told to "google it"
    Aug 02, 2023
    Dr was great
    Jul 28, 2023
    Such a wonderful crew!!
    Jul 26, 2023
    Everything about the experience was top notch. I could not have had better care.
    Jul 26, 2023
    Doctors, nurses and staff were all outstanding.
    Jul 23, 2023
    Very quick visit, not much explanation
    Jul 17, 2023
    This was my second experience with Dr. Neuhaus and his team - both times for excision of melanoma. I feel very fortunate to have had such great care both times. From the injections of the pain killers to the smooth closing of my wound, I experienced a minimum of discomfort. And my post-operative experience has been very good, with no bleeding and a minimum of swelling.
    Jul 13, 2023
    Dr. Neuhaus and the other doctor were professional and listened well to my questions and concerns.
    Jul 11, 2023
    Everything was first class
    Jun 28, 2023
    I'm happy with everything, thank you
    Jun 27, 2023
    I told the insurance company that I wanted to go back to you guys for the second time and I'm so glad that it happened. I travel for three hours to get a hotel in order to come to your clinic. It's so worth it.
    Jun 23, 2023
    Good
    Jun 19, 2023
    Re: Dr Neuhaus - I won't be back, I won't recommend you, and I am happy to share my extremely poor experiences with friends and clients who ask. I have two siblings who are doctors and they would never be so condescending and dismissive to anyone yet alone a patient. Unacceptable.
    Jun 08, 2023
    Didn't seem to care much, but answered my questions and took care of business--wrote my prescriptions and gave me referral for skin check appointment. No smile, no warmth. He was the best at giving lip filler on my last appointment so I believe he's technically skilled and knowledgeable but I guess he's not a people person.
    Jun 04, 2023
    Excellent experience. Very professional and lovely bedside manner from everyone involved.
    Jun 04, 2023
    My experience at UCSF Dermatology Clinic was very positive. I was offered and accepted a cup of water. That curtesy was over and above what was expected.
    Jun 02, 2023
    I know this is a teaching hospital and he was rushed
    May 31, 2023
    I wasn't informed that the lead doctor would not be doing the surgery. Instead a fellow did it. This amounts to very poor informed consent. It was bait and switch.
    May 28, 2023
    I di nto know it but I wa sonly scheudled for a consultation, but I did wnat the lypoma removed and the doctor and nurses agreed if I waited, which I did and it allw ent very well. I felt respected and treated professionally.
