Andrew S Calciano, MD

I found Dr. Calciano to be arrogant to the point of negligence. He seemed so sure of his diagnosis of my son’s scalp condition that did not listen to what I was saying and missed a half dollar-​sized spot on his scalp that changed his diagnosis completely. Not only did this impede treatment but caused further damage. Thankfully he referred me to UCSF’s Pediatric Dermatology Department who have been extremely responsive. Even a simple routine follow-​up biopsy was botched by his office– rude, unhelpful receptionist, calls returned too late, and instructions of what needed to be done completely mistaken.
I highly recommend UCSF Pediatric Dermatology Department. Unlike Dr. Calciano, they eased my son’s fears, talked directly to him, and carefully answered any of his questions. It’s a long drive but well worth it.

Dr. Calciano removed a squamous cell on my cheek. He was prompt, professional and personable. He explained everything before he did a thing and even called me in the evening to make sure I was doing all right before it got too late. He is a terrific physician and a fine human being.
