Skin Surgery & Aesthetic Dermatology
What I’ve seen about Skin Surgery & Aesthetic Dermatology.
Skin Surgery & Aesthetic cleared all three website checks — a website that holds up, details that agree, and advertising that stays legal. Their domain, their identity, the way they talk about their work — it all holds up under inspection. Every record I read to decide that is listed further down this page, with where it came from and when.

“Dr Truitt is such a great dermatologist, she is thorough in my examination, is timely, and has a great bedside manner. Her staff is also very efficient, kind and caring. After having the same dermatologist for over 30 years who retired, I was extremely happy to have been referred to Dr Truitt who now after 4 years has been an excellent choice for me. I highl…”

“I originally visited the office to consult about dark spots on my face. Lindsay kindly and quickly identified what appeared to be a melanoma and immediately sent the tissue for pathology testing. Once the melanoma was confirmed, everything moved very quickly and the entire process was completed in a short time. Dr. Truitt then performed the surgery promptly.…”

“I found them on Google. I am in San Diego for a month from Atlanta, GA and wanted to find a good Dermatologist and this office did not disappoint. From the front desk staff to Dr. Daly I had an amazing experience! Dr. Daly was super nice and very thorough and really educated me on my Acne prone skin and gave me an easy routine to follow. Highly Recommend! T…”

Screened means the public record holds up: their identity matches, their site is real, their copy doesn’t lie.
GlowRanked Verified is a separate service, and a different question. It reads what the public record cannot see: who the medical director is, whether malpractice insurance is current, who’s actually holding the syringe, and whether the spa has written protocols for emergencies. The owner submits those documents and a person reads them. It is not part of what I checked on this page and it does not change it.
So — this is a records check, and it can be withdrawn when a record changes. It is not a judgement about the care in the room. Ask the questions below before you book.
What to ask before you book.
- 01
Who’s the medical director?
California requires every med spa to have a licensed MD or DO supervising. If the front desk can’t name them, that’s your answer.
- 02
Who is actually injecting me?
RN, NP, PA, or MD — get the credentials in writing. Estheticians cannot legally inject. Ask before you sit in the chair.
- 03
What product brand and concentration?
Real Botox / Dysport / Juvederm with a lot number. If it’s vague ("a similar neurotoxin"), walk out.
None of these three is part of my screen — I have no way to see a licence from the public record. All three are on you to ask, and if they fumble any of them, that’s your sign.

Three public records agreed about this spa: Google shows it open; the state ties a current licence here with no public Medical Board record against it; and two independent public records place a licensed provider at this address. Each of those is a record, not a rating — the lines below say where every one of them came from. The website checks below are reported too, and they are not one of the three: they read this spa’s own site, which is not a public record.
This spa cleared all three website checks: a website that holds up, details that agree, and advertising that stays legal. I report them here; since 2026-09-01 they do not decide the mark, because a spa's own website is not a public record.
