Chhiap Visoth MD A Professional Corporation

Awesome Doctor! He can take one quick look and diagnose. Definitely recommend him for your dermatology needs.

Good Doctor, sharp. No wait and fast appointment. He didn’t waste a second! I hate sitting around forever in doctor’s offices. They lose a star for charging my co-​pay and not accounting for it. They sent me a bill that I had to call and fix. But later I wanted a stronger medication and I was treated so well by the office manager and front desk staff… They called in my medication and I’m looking and feeling so much better now!!!

If I had looked at Unilocal for this Dermatologist I would not have gone to him… but I didn’t and am very happy that I went to him. I got there on time, was taken right into the exam room and he appeared shortly. Did a quick exam and then ‘burned’ off the pre-​cancers on my face, cut out a squamous on my back and referred me to Dr. Swetter, the’ head’ of neck and head surgery at Stanford for the melanoma on my scalp. I had thought I would go for ‘Mohs’ surgery to a Dr. in Mt. View (I had in the past)…but he said Stanford was the best for what I had. My wife was very concerned so she called him… he spent a good 20 – 25 minutes explaining why Stanford, what to expect, etc… very caring and knowledgeable. The same with his receptionist and aide. He even called Dr. Swetter to give her a ‘heads-​up’ on my exam and that I would be calling her. The surgery went great and will be going back for a little ‘cleanup’ in a week or so. Compare this with a friend who was referred to a ‘cancer’ surgeon and then had to go to Stanford for another surgery, because the whole cancer was not removed in the first surgery. I will be going back to Dr. Chhiap.

After going to Silicon Valley Podiatry Group in San Jose twice to get a wart removed with no success and some really ridiculous bills, I decided to go to Dr. Chhiap. He was so helpful and it was clear that he wasn’t just trying to get me in and out as quickly as possible. He answered any questions and made sure to take his time double checking that there weren’t any other tiny warts on my feet that I might’ve missed. I would definitely recommend him!

Don’t show up 5 minutes late to an appointment. Me, my wife and my 18 month that has eczema, waited in the waiting room for an hour before being called in. Don’t care how good the Dr. is, customer service is key and making a 18 month old wait for over an hour to be seen is ridiculous.
First time will be the last!

I love this dermatologist. Before coming here I always had to wait so long to get an appointment. This office will see you the same day, if not week. The doctor really knows what he’s talking about and treats things very aggressively, which I love. I’ve had acne my whole life and feel like it’s finally under control and no longer an issue, as long as I stay on Dr. Chhiap’s régime.

I really don’t like to write bad reviews of businesses especially medical practices, but this guy needs to be called out on his behavior.
First off, bedside manner is horrible. He single-​handedly lowered my self esteem even lower than it already was (I had cystic acne) by saying my skin was, «like a snake shedding skin…» Who says that?! He then said, «No one wants to go to prom with you now, but when I finished with you, girl will ask you!» I get the intent, but it’s not a nice thing to say.
After a few painstaking visits with Chhiap, I decided to get a second opinion from Kent Carson in San Jose. He informed me that Chhiap had prescribed me a dose of Accutane that was meant for a 220 lb man… I was about 150 lbs at the time, skinny as a rail. I still have no idea what effects that dosage has had on my body.
I’m not saying Chhiap doesn’t know his stuff, but his bed side manner and over zealous, abrasive nature made me doubt his skills enough to switch dermatologists. If you want my advice, go up the road about 30 miles and consult with Kent Carson. He’s been in dermatology for about 30 years and really knows his stuff.

This doctor said there is nothing that can be done for Psoriasis, oh, not so.
Seek another doctor.

First, the good: Dr Visoth is very personable. He listened to me and took time to look at my bug bites that I wake up with every morning.
Now, the bad: he told me that I had allergies and he gave me an oral allergy medicine. I explained to him that I did not get these bug bites when I stayed in hotels or with friends but just at home. I explained that I replaced the carpet, mattress, and bedding which helped for a little while. I told him that my cat slept with me too. I pretty much wanted to know what was biting me… mites? fleas? bed bugs? None of that, he said, it is allergies. So I took his allergy medicine which did nothing but turn me into an insomniac and the bites just kept coming.
I’m sorry, but I think Dr. Visoth does not evaluate all the information before he makes a diagnosis. I recommend him for a pleasant conversation but not for real dermatological help.

Holy cow, I am for once glad I did not Unilocal this doctor before going to see him. I went to him on the recommendation of my hairdresser, and do not regret it at all. I can’t imagine him talking to people the way the other reviewers have reported. He was funny, welcoming, knew exactly what was wrong with something on my face and ear, and took care of the issues immediately. He does have a sassy sense of humor, which may rub some people the wrong way. I happen to like a sassy sense of humor!
I would highly recommend him.

Like others have said before, he does not deserve even 1 star. Where did this «doctor» graduate from?
My husband and I had gone camping in Yosemite for the weekend. The last day of camping he started to develop a rash on his chest and arms. We dismissed it, figuring it was just a heat rash since it was over 100 degrees all weekend. About a week after we got back from camping he still had the rash so I told him to go see a dermatologist.
My husband made the appointment with this «doctor». When my husband arrived, he tells my husband «Let me look at your hands». My husband thought it was a little strange since his hands were fine. While he was there, my husband tried to tell the doctor that we just got back from camping and that I had recently changed the brand of our laundry detergent and he was wondering if that could be the problem. The «doctor» just kept nodding his head, telling my husband he had syphilis! I’m an RN and I know what syphilis looks like and my husband does not have it! I was appalled that he would even insinuate something so crazy! He never took any tests or skin samples from my husband to even see what this rash was. He just kept telling him it was syphilis. Just so you know, syphilis forms a rash on the palms of your hands and soles of your feet (neither of which my husband was experiencing). Penicillin is used to treat syphilis (which you would think this doctor would have given my husband if he had it, right? Nope, no penicillin prescribed). He prescribed a cream for my husband which eventually did take the rash away.
This man needs to be turned over to the state board and have his license revoked. He is not practicing good health.

So surprised to read these other reviews! Both of my teenage sons have seen Dr. Chhiap for acne related issues, and they felt very comfortable with the doctor. The treatments he recommended worked. Of course, when my sons stopped doing their treatment, their acne came back. My father in law also went to Dr. Chhiap to have moles removed off his head, and he was very satisfied as well.

I would give him 0 stars if I could. I went to him for a basil cell removal on my forehead and he did okay with that. however he took a biopsy of one on my neck and told me it was basil cell also. i went to my local doctor perez and asked him if he could remove it. dr perez said there was nothing there nothing there to remove !!!. «it had already been removed!!» .okay so that’s not the end of the story. three weeks later i received a registered letter from dr chip saying that if i didn’t get this removed i could die! Whoa… is somebody losing their chips ???

My experience with Dr. Visoth was terrible. I went to see him about two problems: 1.) a lump behind my ear that had been growing larger and becoming painful and 2.) a reoccurring rash on my leg. He helped me with neither issue. First of all, he saw me 40 minutes after my appointment time. When I finally got in to see him, he examined my ear and said there was nothing there. (!) I really didn’t know how to respond because I couldn’t comprehend how he couldn’t feel or see this lump. I had even had my husband look at it that day, and he confirmed that there was a red bump there that didn’t match the other ear. Anyway, I kept pushing Dr. Vishoth about it, and he kept insisting that there was nothing there. Finally, he said I should go see an ear-​nose-​throat specialist.
On to problem #2, the rash. He said it was nothing to be concerned about, probably just from dry skin or shaving. Okay, that’s fine. Then he asked me what kind of daily moisturizer I use. I told him I don’t usually use any because I prefer to minimize the amount of chemicals I put on my skin. Suddenly he got very concerned. He said everyone should use moisturizer every day. Then he took out a fake prescription pad, which was actually a stack of advertisements for a certain brand of moisturizer, and he wrote out a «prescription» for this product, checking off the specific types I should buy. What a clown!
This guy was a total waste of my time and money. Please do not go see him.

Dr. Chhiap is a great doctor! I have been seeing him for about 3 years now and he has seen me through bug bites, rashes, un-​wanted moles and teenage acne. He has always made me feel like he knows exactly what he’s talking about. The thing i like most about him is that he’s defenatley a family doctor. Everytime i am in, he remembers all the other things i have been in for, without hardly looking at the record. He has gotten rid of so many unwanted problems! When i was in 7^th grade, i had this mole/​birth mark under my arm that was a brownish purple. I never liked it because when i would raise my hand in class, kids would say that it looked like poo. I went in to see Dr. Chhiap about it and right then and there he numbed it and cut it off. No pain was involved and i was incredibly happy. Alongside with my mole, I had a terrible case of acne. I had really greasy skin, zits, black heads, EVERYTHING! Although it took some time and complications with other medications, Dr. Chhiap always had another solution. I never felt like he was just in it for the money and trying to sell me the expensive stuff. He never told me that there wasn’t another option. I am super happy as i continue to see him!

I agree with the other review. I went in to see Dr Visoth (how ever I see calling a person by Dr is a sign of respect and this man does not deserve any.)
Second appointment was for a follow with my primary agree I should go, Dr Visoth was in and out. He spent a total of 6 minutes in the room with me. While he was looking things over he became very quick in talking and would not answer any questions. He told me to monitor the situation and come back if the problem got worst… HELLO that is why I was there because the problem got worst, which I told him. He was eager to sign me up for a minor in office surgery (I think he was seeing dollar signs.) I can only imagine him cutting me open… maybe he would spend 9 minutes for that appointment.
I made the appointment but decided to cancel. I will be calling my primary doctor for a new referral.
Then Dr Visoth casually tells me I may need to go see a surgeon for my back, but wouldn’t tell me what to tell the surgeon why I needed an appointment.

The worst Doctor in the world… I went to him about a couple years ago i had a problem with acne. Dr. Visoth said that it was a drooling problem when i am sleeping and the bacteria from the saliva was infecting the sides of my mouth for acne… I don’t know any better, i never went to medical school, so he gave me a antibiotic and i used it for about 1 month, the problem got worse, he then said i don’t know what to do ,
The last time I went to see him he got in a argument with me about wasting his time and he could of saw 2 or 3 other patients with the time he gave me…
I don’t know anybody that would talk to someone like that in his line of business and the professionalism that Doctors are supposed to carry…
Do not waste your time with Dr. Visoth, he has no answers, he treats you like a lab rat, in and out, take this, try that/​
Try Dr. Perlman from Stanford MD. or Sara Yen, good luck getting appointments, there really good and really busy.
