I have been seeing Dr. Warren I Dotz for the entire time he has been practicing in Berkeley which is 30 years plus. He has ALWAYS attended with great quality any skin concerns I have had over the years. Like a "MAGICIAN", he always corrects any skin problems or concerns I have and have had over the span of 30+ years of which I have been seeing him. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND DR. DOTZ. 5 plus stars. He is highly knowledgeable and highly qualified as a leading Dermatologist in the East Bay. He also has published articles of his medical expertise. He is very willing and compassionate to help me and has been throughout the years.

Several of my colleagues go to see Dr. Warren Dotz so he came highly recommended. I saw him for a growth on my ear which started to change. The doctor knew immediately it was a skin cancer. He did a biopsy, called me at my home at night to discuss the results (a first for one of my docs) and removed it a week later. There is absolutly no scar or at least I can't find one. He's really good!

Dr. Dotz was the first dermatologist to recommend photographing my moles. Because of his concern and expertise he found a skin cancer very early last year. I am grateful to have such a competent and caring skin doc.

My visit with Dr. Dotz was and an excellent experience and I can highly recommend this doctor. Upon reading that he was Oakland Magazine's Top Doctor (dermatologist) recommendation, I was grateful to get a timely appointment. His exam was very thorough. His treatment worked great and I also appreciated the time he took to explain my skin condition and the sample creams that were given to me.

They can border on being rude. He's good, but don't dare call and mention two things you might want to discuss with him. They'll want you to make two appointments! And don't dare try to get around this by posing the question to him -- he'll glance at it and tell you to make a new appointment. I switched docs because of this as I found it incredibly irritating.
