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.

I have been a patient of Dr Saal for over 20 years. He is excellent at his craft. He is very knowledgable, and patient in explaining in detail what my issue may be. He provides options if possible. His office staff is professional and personable.
Everyone in the practice is friendly, helpful and attentive.
The office staff was very friendly and efficient. I was escorted into a room right away. Dr. Saal was on time and very pleasant. We chatted about the results of my last visit (very pleased) and objectives for the current visit. Dr. Saal listened to my concerns regarding recent mole growths and removed them. I made a follow-up appointment in 6 months. I would highly recommend Dr. Saal for dermatology check-ups.
Dr. Saal is my best dermatologist in the Bay Area, he is understanding and caring what’s your need at your age, and I felt comfortable with his friendly staff too.

Always have a very pleasant visit with Dr. Saal. He ensures that my concerns were addressed and made sure I understood the whys and how it should be treated. My skin definitely looks GREAT since I’d been seeing Dr. Saal. Thank you very much Dr. Saal and really appreciate you.
Excellent service.
I have seen a few Dermatologists before, Dr Bruce Saal is the best doctor, very knowledgeable and experienced. I have itchy inner corner eyelids, He asked a lot questions to get a comprehensive understanding of my skin problems, and explained in a way that’s easy for me to understand with a sense of humor. He gave clear step by step instruction not only focusing on relieving the itchiness but also the allergies that cause the skin problems. My treatment plan went very well, I feel I’m in good hands. Highly recommended!
Dr seal is very good doctor
