Best Cosmetic Derm in Southern California
Dr. Goldman pioneered later treatments and he continues to be the leader in the field. I’ve been seeing him for over 30 years and have had a variety of procedures including Ultherapy, Fraxel, Thermage, and various fillers. My skin is in great condition and is aging well. He provides honest and straightforward advice and always very natural looking results.
Simply the best
I did extensive research before visiting Dr. Goldman. I had significant facial telangiectasia (visible, small dilated blood vessels) caused by a procedure done by another dermatologist in another state (not related to Dr. Goldman's practice). After suffering through treatment after treatment with other dermatologists for almost a year (at a substantial emotional toll), I sought the expert in venous issues and in use of lasers for dermatological purposes, and I found him. It's
Tailored treatments!
Great experience! I had IPL and amazing results! I'm doing a 2nd one soon then, I'm on maintenance! The machines used and the levels matter! He's the best of the best! I was recommended to him because of all the specialty lasers he has. When you come to this office, you know the treatment was tailored to you!
The right treatment for your needs!
This is the 3rd time that I see Dr. Goldman. He has done laser to my surgery scar and sclerotherapy for my veins (legs). He is very professional, listen to all your questions and offers you the right treatment. What I like the most is that he lets you know when you don't need an extra procedure, treatment or product even if you ask for it.
Great experience and amazing results!
Dr.Goldman does an excellent job! I would highly recommend him to anyone looking to improve their skin. Dr.Goldman treated a horrible scar I had from a dog bite, as well as scars caused by acne on my chin. I am so grateful he was able to remove the scar on my nose that had been caused by a horribly deep dog bite! And the acne scars on my chin have diminished greatly thanks to the laser treatments. His staff is very kind and personable, and Dr.Goldman himself is very kind and always
My doctor for life
Dr. Goldman is by far the best!! He is so incredibly smart, he's always learning and trying new things. He is so honest with me and I love that. If he doesn't think I need something he will tell me... he's not just trying to make money. I've never been so confident in a doctor before and he will always be my go to. Thank you Dr. G :)

Laser Treatment for Pigmentation Problem on Leg
I have seen Dr. Goldman for two sessions of laser treatments on my leg during the past year. I had sclerotherapy injections performed at a different location and due to inappropriate aftercare instructions, I still have pigment issues on my leg. Dr. Goldman recommended treatment with different lasers to break up the pigment. Throughout each appointment and laser session he has been considerate and kind and has honestly managed my expectations. I have seen results and will continue

This was my first visit with Dr. Goldman. He's an excellent Dr. who was patient, kind, very sincere and extremely knowledgeable. His staff (Antonio, Stephanie, Lisa, Edward, Danny and Keila) provided outstanding customer service and were truly amazing. Everyone was professional, willing to assist and friendly. It was a very positive experience and I highly recommend his office.
CLD is amazing!
Dr. Goldman's level of honesty is refreshing. He is very knowledgeable and personable. It's nice going to a doctor that's not going to push unnecessary procedures. The staff is very professional and the products they sell are wonderful.

Great Doctor - San Diego, CA
I was very thankful to find Dr. Goldman for a lower lip condition. My lip had a bump of scar tissue from a prevuious medical surgery and accident. My lip looked bumpy and red with a tingle 4 years after my surgery. I searched the United States of America for solutions. My confidence was severely shaken. I received three shots over a 2 month period with a combination of F5u and a Steroid. It broke up the scar tissue and stopped the numbness. After 2 months it looked better and
