Timothy M Jochen, MD

I just had my eyes done by Dr Timothy Jochen and as usual the procedure was perfection! I live in San Diego and have had a plethora of excellent doctors in my my area but none so far has compared to Dr Jochen and his amazing team. The only thing that would be better is he opened an office in San Diego :)

P.s thank you Miss La Rue, Asia, Brenda
And for the rest of you that I missed

Very very professional. I would say this is best dermatologist place I have even been to. I am going here to treat my acne which is going extremely well. I am being taken care of by Kara which is the nicest person you will meet among everyone else there who are always happy to be there for you.

Dr. Jochen has provided excellent care and outstanding results in a very professional and courteous manner. His offices are luxurious, comfortable and very efficient. I highly recommend Dr. Jochen and his staff.

I found the center from an Ad. Which made me
A bit skeptical but after my visit I was impressed. Professional modern environment. The care and services were best in class.

I have been coming to Dr. Jochen for 8 years. His office is so professional in every since of the the word. His staff is highly trained and always keeping up on the latest technology and most up to date practices. Dr. Jochen never ceases to amaze me with his knowledge and warm bedside manner. He is the best in his field. Dr. Jochen and his office ALWAYS goes the extra mile.

Love Dr. Jochen and his staff! Dr Jochen is a great Dr. who cares about his patients and the staff do too! Very knowledgeable about all procedures both medical and cosmetic. Only derm to go to!

Been here more than a handful of times and I always look forward to my visits, not only for the services they provide but also the friendly staff.
Till next time!

i absolutely love Dr. Jochen! He is honest, compassionate and truly delivers the Cadillac of results! I have seen him for years and recommend him to all my family & friends for whatever your cosmetic needs are.

Dr. Jochen is the best Dermatologist, Cosmetic Surgeon in all of Southern California! This year I was diagnosed with a serious Carcinoma on my back and Dr. Jochen was wonderful in helping me through a very difficult time and getting me a good oncologist at Eisenhower Medical Center. I am very thankful he is my doctor and stays on top of all my dermatology needs!

I have been a patient of Dr. Timothy Jochen for a number of years, and he certainly has my trust and respect. He also has a wonderful bedside manner. I am especially impressed with his medical secretary, Julio Esparza. Julio has been most helpful in dealing with my health insurance coverage issues. He is very caring, patient and compassionate. I feel that he truly has my best interest at heart, and is exceptional with his follow up. I feel very fortunate that I’m being cared for by these two outstanding individuals!
Thank you Julio and Dr. Jochen.

I am a new patient, have only seen Dr. Jochen once, but he and his staff were very kind, professional, wonderful people! I went in for Botox for crows feet and was surprised at how easy and painless it was and I love the results! I am definitely going back here and will make Dr. Jochen my go to dermatologist, even though I live in Pasadena. It is definitely worth the drive to Rancho Mirage – plus I get to look great when I visit my friends out here!

I knew I needed to find a good dermatologist when I moved to California last August. My primary care physician recommended Dr. Jochen and I am VERY glad he did. He and his staff are competent, professional, patient and helpful at every opportunity.
At 60 years old, my skin looks better than it has in YEARS and that is all due to the care and quality treatment I have received at Contour Dermatology.

Have been a patient for years. The Staff is always fantastic! Love the VIP room. Couldn’t have felt more comfortable got my last experience. Highly recommend.

Dr. Jochen and his staff are excellent! I always am treated with utmost courtesy and the staff are well trained and professional. If you are concerned about aging gracefully and looking your best, you should contact Contour Dermatology!

I was recently diagnosed with a skin carcinoma by Dr. David Sawcer and he surgically removed it yesterday. I was very impressed with my entire experience. In addition to the quality of service, Dr. Sawcer also has a great sense of humor.
The office staff has always been very responsive and friendly. Thanks to all of you for the great job and personable reception.

So, the very small abrasion on my right arm wasn’t healing. The biopsy surprised both me and the doctor when it confirmed Basel cell skin cancer. In the early winter of 2011, it was a simple excision procedure to remove the problem.
By summer 2011, although Dr. Jochen reminded me that everyone heals differently, I was unhappy with the scar. I appreciated how willingly he offered me laser treatments to reduce the size and color. During routine visits over the next three years, the doctor indulged my continuing to mention my not being completely satisfied with the outcome.
Dr. Jochen consistently offered me another incision at no additional charge and always reiterated that he wanted me to be fully satisfied with the results. In November 2014, we started over and, as expected, the wound is currently still healing (late February 2015).
I have a follow-​up appointment this week which the doctor scheduled and which prompted me to want to publicly thank him and his excellent staff for their dedication to perfection. It wasn’t until I began to write this review that I realized the length of time involved since the original excision.
Dr. Jochen deserves to be commended for his dedication and perseverance to patient satisfaction. I am confident that the doctor will persist until the scar is reasonably unnoticeable and we’ve achieved the results we’ve wanted. And I am sure that we will have the desired conclusion soon!
I highly recommend Dr. Jochen and Contour Dermatology!

This was probably the worst experience I have EVER had at a Dr’s office hands down!!! Plus, why is a dermatologist doing lipo?
I had just lost my father a month prior on December 8^th, 2014; he refused medical attention from anyone, but me so I had to get special clearance to even treat him in the last days of his life. Then weeks prior (09 Jan 2015) to my appointment I lost my service animal, best friend and mascot (for the zoological rescue I am the Director of) who helps me with stress related PTSD.
29 Jan 2015:
I called to confirm my appointment in Palm Springs for facial, fillers and consultation.
30 Jan 2015: (my birthday), 0908
I had come out from VIRGINIA (3,000 miles away) to see a specific staff member at Contour. I had booked a week prior, filled out the necessary forms and submitted them online asap. This way I did not have to do it in the office. I received a phone call asking me to change my appointment time. I was in the Palm Springs office parking lot as they called. I was informed «Coy is double booked» and they had tried to reach me on several occasions” but I had spoken to their office the day prior; WTF? I was told the day prior my appointment was in Palm Springs office. Nope Rancho Mirage. So I rescheduled and push back another afternoon appointment previous confirmed.
1200 (Noon) Rancho Mirage Offices.
I get there and have the BEST FACIAL EVER!!! by Coy James. He met me immediately in the waiting room. After my facial appointment I needed product for m Roscea, Young lady helped Coy pick the perfect items for me. BUT I was whisked to the front waiting area then called back by LaRue before I could even find out what I needed in products or even how to apply them.
HIGH Pressure sales from LaRue about a neck tightening procedure before my consult with Dr. Jochen. So I am confused, she acted like she was doing me a favor «squeezing me in». My appointment was supposed to be asap, In the waiting area I called and pushed back my other schedule appointment back another hour.
I then sat in exam room #4 so long I ended up pacing like a caged animal. I could hear the staff talking to each other wondering why I was still in the room waiting. «Where is Dr Jochen?», «Why is she still in there?» I called my afternoon appointment and pushed it back again another hour.
Dr Jochen breezed in for a few moments where I tried to ask him a few questions about what procedures I was interested in. He said «no fillers if you want a mini face lift or neck procedure the next week. I was WAY beyond that and needed invasive now». Plus my lips were off so much he stated they are «so bad it is distracting». NICE. He then left, I was now beyond mad.
LaRue came back in to high pressure sales talk to me again. I stated is this how a consultation goes. She said I had not booked one. The reason I had not received a confirmation was I HAD GIVEN THEM WRONG CONTACT INFORMATION. But no one would show me where I had made a mistake. I repeated what I had told staff on the phone and when I called to verify as I received no confirmation. All the while talking to me like I was inconveniencing her. No one had the forms printed I had submitted via email until I began asking repeatedly how did this happen. I could no longer take it and just wanted to leave, began to cry again. Now no time for anything I wanted to do, but check out. Once again, we are sorry we have no idea. She has my forms, points to my emergency contact and says, see you put the wrong number. I point to the line above and said, nope. She then asks me how I liked my products, I had still not even seen them. In massive anger I state WTF! Am I being punked? She rushes off to get what they had pulled for me at the rear building and I call my appointment to push back to the next day.
I am charged 50% off of facial and full price for products. I scheduled a consultation at Palm Springs office for Monday, 02 Feb 2015 and another facial procedure with Coy in Palm Springs. on 05 Feb 2015.
01 Feb 2015: I thought about how terrible their customer services was and I call and email telling them I am canceling my Monday appointment. Not Thursday
04 Feb 2015: get a text from Coy James stating they let him go. I now fear it was due to his being my friend. Later on that afternoon they call to reschedule my appointment with Coy as he «would not be in the office» that day. Lies again. I canceled the appointment by saying are you f%^king kidding me. I know why he will not be in. Try telling the truth for once. NEVER GO HERE!!!

I visit Dr. jochen for Dysport and love the results I get!!! I’m 40 and prefer a more relaxed and natural look which I definitely receive at Contour. It’s an amazing feeling having people say I look great, but don’t know what exactly it is. Also, the office team is outstanding, they are welcoming and efficient. I would definitely refer this office!!!

I have been a patient of Dr Jochen’s for several years. I am treated like royalty each and every time I visit and have been since I first set foot in the door. Kara Crane has performed miracles using various lasers to return my skin to the texture and color it was 30+ years ago! Working as a «tag team» with Anne Marie Johnson my aesthetician who does my monthly chemical peel and my monthly facial, another miracle worker, I am devoid of wrinkles! Dr Jochen oversees everything personally and in addition to conducting any surgical procedures needed, he has also administered my fillers and Dysport himself. I simply couldn’t be happier and am pleased to have referred any one and everyone that inquires about my incredible looking skin to Contour Dermatology!

Hi quality service and results, been going for years and have 2 more procedures scheduled for later this year. And the chemical peels are great!
