Dr Alpern is the first dermatologist I’ve seen since 2018, not because I didn’t want to, but because there were only 2 Optum doctors to choose from in Long Beach. One bedside manner was absolutely horrible and the other one kept canceling my appointments and I was later told he only did surgeries. I then could only make appointments with the PA. When I saw Dr Alpern what a difference! He was kind, listened to my concerns and addressed them. After years of having basal cell carcinomas and pre cancers I can tell when something is developing. When I saw Dr Alpern he found many more that I wasn’t aware of. I will be recommending Dr Alpern to others because he’s the best!
