I really love this medical office and Dr. Keel. Everybody is so friendly and caring and they are so efficient. I never have to wait, they are always on time, and yet are able to take time to listen to what I have to say and answer any questions. They are da bomb! I just wish we lived closer as the drive is long for us as we live in Valley Center. But I would not want to move from La Jolla if I were them. lol I wish I could afford to live there and then my drive would be sweet.

There are so many options for Botox and fillers these days and you should be careful as to who you have inject you. I have always had amazing results when I have gone to Pacific Dermatology. As I am experiencing the aging process, I want that little pick me up that looks natural and that is exactly what Dr. Keel delivers. He also talks with you about your choices of products and is very knowledgeable and skilled at using them. The staff is great and very friendly. Heather the practice administrator has been with the practice since the beginning and she is never to busy to talk with you about

Everyone at the office are friendly professional and take care of you through whatever procedure or exam you are having done. Dr Keel always spends extra time asking about you and your concerns. He explains everything and all options. Never ever makes you feel like you are just a number. I have been going here for years concerned about my exposure to the sun and the damage it has caused. Dont hesitate highly recommend.

I just love Dr. Keel, Tamika, and the entire staff at Pacific Dermatology. They are warm, caring, and welcoming and they really know their stuff. I always feel confident that Im going to see the best results possible with the latest technology available. There is also a 0% pressure factor. They allow you to be in the drivers seat to share the results that you desire and they make recommendations based on what you want. With so much information overwhelm out there, its hard to know what works and whats just marketing hype. You can rest assured that you have a great adviser who will give
