“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…”

Next 30-day re-screen · July 4, 2026 · Badge revokes automatically if anything slips.
Screened means the public record holds up: their identity matches, their site is real, their copy doesn’t lie. It’s the floor — the bare minimum I’d send a friend toward.
Aura Verified is the next bar — and a harder one. It checks what the public record can’t 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. Skin Surgery & Aesthetic Dermatology hasn’t earned it yet — Aura would love to help them get there.
So — Screened is real, and revokable. Take it as a starting point, not a finish line. 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.
I check the first two on every spa I screen. The third is on you, babe — but if you ask and they fumble it, that’s your sign.
