Rackett C Scott, MD

Dr. Rackett’s office is fantastic. Easy and quick check in and I wasn’t left in the room for more than a few minutes before the doctor came in to see me. Dr. Rackett is outstanding. Very thorough and patient. The office staff is lovely and very professional. So happy to have found this office.

I am a physician (internal medicine) and I can attest to the outstanding skill of Dr. Scott Rackett in performing surgery of the dermis, or deep skin tissues. Years ago, I had a cystic mass the size of a small marble under my chin for years, and it was visible & bothering me. I asked the dermatologist next door to take a look at it. That dermatologist happened to be Dr. Rackett, in a different location at that time. Removing this cyst required minor surgery, with extensive deep cutting almost down to the muscle layer. He was able to remove the entire lesion, which turned out to be benign, and his skillful closure of the surgical wound left me with absolutely no scar at all. To this day, I salute you, Dr. Scott Rackett, for your surgical skill, your diligence and your fine patient care. Thank you!

I have followed Doctor Rackett from Encino to Torrance to Manhattan Beach. During this time I have lived in Marina Del Rey and have an office in Century City… are there good Dermatologists closer to me? Sure! Better Doctors? No! Doctor Rackett is very good. He takes time and is through. Perhaps his being through and very good may take a little time. Maybe you have to wait in the waiting room little longer… so what! I’ve been to docs who are «right on time.» These are the ones who allow 10 or 15 minutes for your exam and then they’re out of the room. They don’t spend the time they should. Also, I really like his office set up. You just park outside and walk right in. No parking charge, no elevator, no hassle. Last week I paid 30 dollars to park at my Internists Century City office!

Dr Rackett is thorough and is great. I felt bad calling him on a Friday night due to an emergency and he called me back immediately. He’s great with skin checks and mole removal. Love his staff and the office and Dr. Rackett is very sharp and friendly!

Although I never imagined writing a review concerning the perusing of the moles and blemishes on my bare body, it is an absolute must! I felt welcomed the moment I arrived at my appointment, as positivity and a vibrant energy was contagious amongst the staff. Dr. Rackett treated me like a long-​lost friend. The ability to calm and comfort while playing connect-​the-​dots with my moles, is an amazing ability that I cannot praise enough. I assure you that any negative reviews aimed at Dr. Rackett or Manhattan Beach Dermatology are constructed by: terribly sad, negative, narcissistic individuals disillusioned and detached from reality. Between the setting, smiles, and sincerity of the entire office, I could not be happier to be a patient of Dr. Rackett’s!

Great! The have had dry skin on my hands for over 8 months. Dr. Rackett helped me solve the issue after just 2 visits. Very Happy

I couldn’t have had a better experience than with Dr. Rackett and his Manhattan Beach Dermatology staff. I’ve had a few miserable experiences in the past with other Dr.‘s, but Dr. Rackett made me feel comfortable and right at home. His polite conversation made me feel like I wasn’t just another number and it showed that he really does take an interest in his patients. I left in a better mood than I entered. Everyone was incredibly helpful, and there wasn’t a single question left unanswered. Despite a packed house, the staff was incredibly friendly and professional. On a side note, he’s a better man than I. Judging by the amount of stuck up «Do you know who I am?» half-​wits he dealt with while I was there, he’s got more patience than the Dalai Lama. I can see why some of these other Unilocal reviews aren’t 5 stars, because they couldn’t get their heads out of their you-know-what’s long enough to be reasonable human beings.

I went today to have skin cancer surgery on my knee. Great service from the front desk, nurses on! Professional, personnel and very clean. Dr. Rackett and his nurse answered a ton of my questions and made me at ease. I highly suggest you sun addicts pay him a visit :) de de the nurse is a wizard with the needle #NO PAIN!!!

I don’t know what’s with all the negative reviews, Dr. Rackett is awesome. I come to him with all kinds of weird growths and rashes on my genitals because I’m such a filthy man whore, but he always takes care of it. He even pretends like he’s not completely disgusted. By the way, have you seen his face? He looks like a porcelain doll but he’s actually like 106! The man doesn’t age!

Tried to get an appointment here and they wouldn’t take my Anthem Blue Cross PPO insurance because it is an Affordable Care Act plan. Huh. C’mon people.

This place is all about the money. Shame on them.

I have been a patient of Dr. Rackett for many years for a variety of different skin issues. He and his office staff have always been friendly and proficient. The office is clean and polished. Dr. Rackett is a caring and compassionate dermatologist. He is a good listener and very understanding. For me, skin issues such as acne, moles, and freckles can be just as uncomfortable emotionally, as physically. In my experience, Dr. Rackett has always been sensitive and sympathetic to my concerns. He has consistently treated me with kindness and professionalism in the constant effort of making my ever-​aging skin healthy and looking the best it can be.

I have been a patient of Dr Rackett’s for a few years. He is the only physician I have been to who actually takes the time to explain what I need to do, why I need to do it; and most importantly, what I can do to stay skin cancer free. With personal and family history of skin cancer, I am extremely grateful to Dr Racket to have diagnosed and treated my skin cancer. He is very thorough, attentive and has impeccable bedside manner. He may run a little late at times because he will not leave the room until all my questions and concerns have been addressed. I have referred my whole family and friends to Dr Rackett and his nurse practitioner Daniela.

My experience with Dr Scott is mostly negative. I arrived 15 minutes early for the appointment. Observed that an unscheduled pharmaceutical rep was permitted to see the doctor pre-​empting my appointment for an additional 20 mins. The delay wasn’t so bad but felt that the annual skin exam, itchy scalp treatment and freezing of a couple of suspicious spots being squeezed within 10 minutes (because he was late for the appt time) was not only insulting but eroded my confidence with this doctor. For the big bucks i’m paying this guy, I’d expect at least 30 mins of his time. I’m moving on to the other well qualified derms in the area and recommend you consider doing the same.

Saw Dr. Tayna Komelli and she was wonderful, thourough and personable. I had no issues with front office staff, in fact, they were very kind.

Dr. Rackett is very personable and took his time to explain everything to me about my child’s skin issues and the staff was friendly. However I had to wait over 45 minutes until I actually got to see the doctor and with a child under the age of 5 that is near impossible. The waiting room is not kid friendly (watch out for those glass tables) and no changing table in the restrooms.

I WILL NOT GO BACK TO Dr. Rackett. I simply went to him to get a prescription refill for my face wash, since my primary dermatologist was booked up for a month. I admit, I procrastinated until the very last drop of my face wash before contacting my dermatologist for a refill. I found Dr. Rackett on Unilocal despite his poor reviews (afterall, all I needed was a prescription — no big deal, right?).
When I told him about my face wash, he said he had never heard of it. He leaves the room and comes back and tells me that my face wash has been discontinued and that the same company has released the same face wash under a different name. Same brand, same product, different name. His information felt a little bit sketchy, but since he was a doctor I trusted him.
He then prescribed me this new face wash, promising me that it is the same as the one I used. HE WAS WRONG. After a week of using his prescription, my sensitive skin started to breakout badly and I had to book an urgent appointment with a different dermatologist to get my skin checked. I found out that my original face wash WAS NOT discontinued and that the one prescribed to me by «Doctor» Rackett was a DIFFERENT BRAND and did not have the same ingredients as my former face wash.
Rackett’s false information about this new face wash being by «the same brand, same product, just different name» was a lie. It was NOT the same brand and NOT the same product.
«Dr.» Rackett probably gets tipped off by pharmaceutical companies for prescribing certain medications, regardless of the very specific needs of his patients. When it comes to your health and finding the right doctor, it is important that you can trust your doctor. There are many, many dermatologists out there and I would rather see them all before I go back to Dr. Rackett. DO NOT SEE HIM!

Okay, you give me a time for an appointment please keep it by at least 15 minutes. First time there.
Show up 15 minutes early they said… I did.
Pre-​fill the forms from home they said… I did.
I showed up, they tell you to sign in and have a sit… felt like a child!
You know what? I have waaaaaay better things to do with my time. Why don’t u schedule appointments according to a somewhat workable schedule. Sorry to tell you, you are not the only game in town. Got an appointment the next day at another of the hundreds of dermatologist in the Southbay.
We have options people, stay away from this place if you want good service at a respectable appointment time.
Use your dollar and let this office know that we won’t be treated like a customer at home depot. Sheesh!

Both my wife and I are Patients of Dr Rackett — he is one of the best at his craft. And his staff is really friendly and helpful. I think he is a smart professional and very experienced in Dermatology. He won’t hassle you to buy a whole bunch of unnecessary products like many other Derm’s, but can suggest great products to help your skin look fresh and healthy.
We have both referred lots of friends and family to his practice, and will continue to do so.

Ok… he looks 18 but Dr Rackett knows his stuff… and isn’t pushing some products with his name on them.
He cares about his patients and is intent on results.
My wife was with another dermatologist for years and one spot that kept coming back was passed off as an «age spot». Wrong. She switched to Dr Rackett and he gave her a correct diagnosis and took care of the problem as it should have been taken care of
My kind of guy
