Dr. Terese Stavenjord Bergheim, MD

I was very pleased with my appointment with this doctor. It was my first visit with her and I found her to be very knowledgeable and took the time to talk to me about several medical issues and concerns. She use the cryo free spray on one particular spot on my face that I was concerned about and also biopsied another on the other side of my face. I will continue to request her as my dermatologist in the future at Kaiser Permanente Barranca Irvine.

I was a little worried when I read the negative review here about Dr. Bergheim, but I just returned from an appointment with her at the Garden Grove Kaiser location and I was very pleased with the care I received. I don't normally leave reviews, but I felt compelled to return to this site to help quell the fears of anyone else with concerns, and to increase Dr. Bergheim's overall rating. Based on my experience today, a higher rating is well deserved. She took the time to answer all of my questions, gave a thorough screening of all of my "questionable" skin spots and explained which were normal and which should be taken care of. I had several spots frozen, one growth surgically removed and sent off to biopsy, and was given recommendations for avoiding some of my problems in the future as well as how to treat some odd bruising on my arms. I found her to be professional, thorough, competent and caring and I don't hesitate to attach five stars to this review.

I saw Dr. Bergheim as a Kaiser Permanente patient. She was the least caring or listening doctor I’ve ever seen. She dismissed my skin cancer concerns flat out. (I am fair, 60 plus, and tanned as a young person). She called all my spots- precancerous. She biopsied zero. I had to beg to get one spot under my bra line froze off. But the kicker, she flat out lied on her write up of the office visit. She did nor offer to cut or biopsy anything. I wrote Kaiser after the fact suggesting that they let her go. THEY moved her from Garden Grove to Irvine. Do not see her if you expect real derm care.

i have appointment after couple mount and kaiser call me and they say doctor can't see you because have emergency and they cancel my appointment....
