Oakland Magazine Top Doctor (Dermatologist) 2007

Oakland Magazine turns to Castle Connolly Medical Ltd. this year to identify the East Bay’s top medical practitioners. A New York City-based research and publishing company, Castle Connolly has carved out a powerful niche conducting extensive physician surveys for national and regional magazines, hospitals and private corporations.

The firm’s lengthy evaluation process to identify top doctors begins with a randomly selected pool of board-certified doctors who then nominate other physicians they feel are clinically outstanding and exhibit excellence in patient care. In other words, nominating physicians are identifying doctors to whom they would feel comfortable sending members of their own family.

Re: Serious Skin Care Advice Needed! (Feb 2005)
I started having some pretty serious complexion problems two years ago, and tried a lot of things, including multiple trips to my primary care physician. She actually told me to do things that exacerbated the condition, and I finally went to Dr. Warren Dotz, a dermatologist whose office is right next to Alta Bates. I was very impressed by him. He was absolutely scrupulous in looking over my skin, inquiring about my history, and coming up with a diagnosis. He is unhurried and thorough during appointments. My skin looks quite nice now!

I have been extremely happy with my visits with dermatologist Warren Dotz. His office is in Berkeley near Alta Bates. I am a nurse practitioner and think it is a compliment to Dr. DotzFs reputation and abilities that many of my colleagues choose to see him as their dermatologist too. Dr. Dotz has been very caring and friendly (actually he has a dry sense of humor which can be quite amusing) on all my visits so far which has included a skin cancer as well as several cosmetic procedures. What I especially like is his intelligence and concern for detail. He has been sensitive to my concerns and I have appreciated his confident but cautious approach to my care (he tells me my options and risks).

I recently had the opportunity to refer my teen-age nephew to him for a severe acne problem. I saw my sister's son the other day and the results were truly remarkable! Totally clear, beautiful skin. We are all very grateful and my nephew is thrilled.

Warren Dotz is my dermatologist. I highly recommend him. He has a very nice office in a professional building near Alta Bates Medical Center in Berkeley. I first saw him for a problem I was having on my wrist for which several doctors, including another dermatologist, had given me cortisone creams. Dr. Dotz examined it with a microscope of some sort, told me it was an uncommon fungus infection and gave me some salve for it. Sure enough it went away within days. I was very impressed!

Since that visit I have seen him a few more times. He is very pleasant and courteous. I like his sincere, straight forward, "New Yorker" style. Seems to have a great memory because he actually reminded me about a conversation we had on a previous visit about my daughter. I feel very fortunate to have found him as my dermatologist. He also has a nice staff who were very helpful fitting me in on one occasion.

My internist is in Alta Bates Medical Group so he sends me to dermatologists affiliated with that group. After having two previous dermatologists drop out of the plan (who I thought were so-so), I was sent to Dr. Warren Dotz. I have found him to be an excellent doctor and I have felt that I am in very capable hands----since skin cancer runs in my family.

Dr. Dotz has a very direct approach which I like. If you are looking for a doctor who tells jokes he is probably not for you. However, I have found his bedside manner to be warm and sincere, friendly and respectful. I am a person who likes explanations and Dr. Dotz seems very willing to do so. I think he realizes that skin cancer checkups are stressful to me. So he has been very reassuring. He has gotten to know my family (my husband and daughter see him too) and always asks me how they are doing. Little conversations such as these makes for pleasant office visits. All in all I have been extremely pleased with my care with Dr. Dotz and am happy to recommend him.

I think Dr. Dotz is a wonderful dermatologist. My wife and I have been seeing him for many years and we could not be more pleased with the treatment and advice we have received. We have recommended him to several friends with similar feedback. Dr. Dotz is always willing to take the time to comprehensively discuss and explain issues that arise during our visits. He never fails to introduce all the available current medical information we need to make informed judgments. He is one of the few doctors that we've seen who presents us with all the possible benefits as well as side effects of prescribed medications. We appreciate the effort he makes to treat us as educated and valued patients. He really cares about treating the whole patient. For example he is the first doctor I ever had who always calls me personally to give me test results. My wife had a potentially dangerous and unsightly mole removed from her face several years back with remarkably successful results. I too have had very successful skin treatments of what I had been previously told were hard to treat skin conditions. All in all we have found Dr. Dotz to be a warm, dedicated and totally professional physician. We think he is a terrific doctor.

I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Warren Dotz who is my dermatologist of five years. I was referred to Dr. Dotz by several friends and my internist (who said that he sends his wife and children to Dr. Dotz). What I liked most about him is that he is very smart, sincere and explains things well. He was the first dermatologist that we've see that actually recommended and took photographs of my husbands moles. I also appreciated his approach to my daughter... treating her complexion but always engaging her in a conversation about her interests. Lastly, his staff is very friendly and can be very helpful in making appointments as Dr. Dotz seems to be very much in demand these days. Cheryl (11/99)

 

Both of my sons have been treated by Dr. Warren Dotz, who is thoughtful, knoledgeable, and explains the basis for his diagnoses/treatments (and works with the boys to be sure they're doing the treatments correctly). I'm a physician and have also seen Dr. Dotz for dermatology issues--I'm impressed by his careful attention to detail and clinical experience. His office is in Berkeley on Regent Street.
