Dr. Saal really cares about his patients and spends a lot of time explaining the condition, causes and treatment! I have been going to him for over 35 years. He is one of the few “honest” dermatologists around who will not over diShow moreagnose skin conditions in order to perform painful and expensive procedures for the purpose of generating large amounts of revenue for unnecessary procedures! Be cautious anytime a dermatologist tells you that you need a MOSE procedure! It is a very painful and expensive procedure that is only necessary if a skin lesion is advanced and cancerous; and only if the lesion can’t be removed simply with “freezing” (burning) off the lesion. Always ask for the biopsy to be sent to an outside lab for rather than done “in house”. If an outside lab reports it cancerous, get another opinion before having a MOSE procedure. With aging, almost everyone has many skin “lesions”, mostly keratoses. They can usually be “frozen” off with nitrous oxide and don’t require surgery. Be very cautious of anyone who tells you that you need surgery. A second opinion is always a good idea!!!
As always, Dr. Saal is an excellent , rare gem, and the best dermatologist in Los Gatos and the Bay Area. My sister and her friends in Pebble Beach love him because he knows how to make them more beautiful, elegant in the partieShow mores. I was recommended to Dr. Saal by my sister, Paulette Vu Tam Ich. I have been seeing Dr. Saal in the past 10 years. He is 70+ years young, and makes you feel comfortable by chatting with you and make you feel like a friend or part of his family. He has been fixing moles from my face, back and nail fungus. I see him twice a year for skin, nail fungus maintenance. If you need a dermatologist in the Bay Area, I highly recommend you to see Dr. Saal.
