I had a great experience at this dermatology office. We were seen quickly and were in and out without any long wait. The doctor was very nice, attentive, and helped address our concerns right away. My husband and I were even able to be seen together, which made the visit very convenient. Overall, a smooth and positive appointment!

I would highly recommend this place, everything about it was so easy and fast. The staff is friendly and professional. I saw the physician assistant and she was super nice, professional and very thorough, I’d say she went above and beyond.

My experience with this office and Personal has been fantastic. Everyone there is very respectful and professional. Dr. Vishal Manhas is very knowledgeable and takes his time to explain in detail his recommendations. My family and I are very happy with this office and will always recommend them to friends and family.

Dr. James Reith is an exceptional dermatologist. From the moment he entered the room, he was attentive, thoughtful, and deeply thorough. He took the time to explain everything clearly, answered all of my questions with patience, and made sure I felt informed rather than rushed or dismissed. What stood out most was his level of care and insight. He recognized that my case was unusual and approached it with seriousness, curiosity, and compassion. He explained his reasoning carefully and discussed next steps in a way that felt proactive and reassuring rather than alarming. I felt truly seen and taken seriously. Dr. Reith combines strong clinical expertise with genuine human kindness. I left the appointment feeling confident, supported, and grateful to be under his care. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a dermatologist who is both highly skilled and deeply respectful of their patients.

Although we had appointments and the wait was extremely long (1 hour), Adrianna Marcus (PA) was very attentive, thorough, listened, and personable. So hard to find good/great doctors in Bakersfield so I hope she doesn’t go elsewhere! Too early to tell if the Rx works. She saw both myself and daughter.
