Bradley Kurgis, DO MPH

Leah is amazing. I’ve seen her twice, once for a skin check and next for dysport injections. She was very thorough and took her time explaining things to me. I have had amazing results and would highly recommend her.

Kelli is the best, she really knows what she is doing and I joy.

I’m a patient at Dr. Kurgis’ office and I find everyone there very pleasant.

My experience with Leah the PA has been great! But sadly I will never return or refer Dr. Kurgis to anyone. The office staff and office manager are extremely rude. The first visit I was annoyed and subsequent visits I was astonished at their interactions with the patients/​customers. I also work in healthcare and the concept of customer service and satisfaction clearly is not observed at this office. Iam currently seeking another dermatologist!

Horrible! I waited for 2 plus hours to see Kurgis (My appointment was at 3 and finally got into the second waiting room at 5:15 only to wait another 15 minutes.). The woman behind the counter was dismissive when I asked how much longer before being seen by the doctor. Kurgis insisted a «freckle» be removed although another doctor said it was only a freckle. The results came back that it was a freckle and now I have a large scar on my chest. I feel butchered.

My son and I have been going to Dr Kurgis office for years now and have always been very happy. Last night I found a suspicious spot on my scalp where a mole had previously been. I called and they got me right in to see a PA the same day. All the staff was reassuring and made me feel like I was in the best of hands during my biopsy. No matter the outcome I know that I will be taken care of! This is a great dermatology office and I would recommend it to anyone.

We love Dr. Kurgis and his staff. My husband and I have been going up the grade to see him for many years now. He is very personable and patient. We won’t go anywhere else for skin care.

Dr Kurgis is the Best dermatologist in this area, and the only dermatologist of 6 locals I went to who was able to immediately diagnose the skin condition I was suffering with. other local doctors were happy to treat me repeatedly with no success, but dr Kurgis knew exactly what the issue was and how to cure me upon first examination. He also happens to be a good and kind man I am very happy to recommend him.

My experience here is from 2013. But, I just remembered I have not reviewed this office and boy, it was awful. I do not want to go back and I still need to. Actually, I’m found somewhere else to go. I had only been there 3x and each time was worse. The office staff barley acknowledges that their job has a little customer service. Let’s see, insurance + deductible = you figure that out.
What bothers me most, I paid for a procedure that was done incorrectly and when I went back because of the error– the doctor had moved out of state! How wonderful for him. He’s gone– not my problem. I need someone to fix his error (and as others have stated– the appt took forever, each time, 2−¾hrs since I live in SLO). I went to another dermatologist, it will cost me three times as much and further scar my Face. Yeah. Not cool.
But, back to my experience here– When initially, after the failed outpatient procedure, I made an appointment with the main man. I hoped he would fix the issue, quell my anxiety about it, etc… But what actually happened, he told me, very arrogantly, to stop messing with it, it’s not worth trying to fix, just leave it alone, it’ll work itself out. Aaaah… I’m sorry, I paid for a procedure that was incorrectly carried out. I would love to leave it alone, but it’s on my face and it (my face) is important to me. I want a doctor that cares and wants to help me.

I recently had to see Dr. Kurgis to have some suspicious looking freckles checked out on my shoulder. I arrived 15 minutes late and did not have the proper paperwork. The staff though very busy, still managed to keep a very positive attitude and get me in and out very quickly, considering I was late. Dr. Kurgis was very professional taking my concerns as seriously as I did! By the time the examination was done he assured me that everything was fine and it’s always better to be safe than sorry. Never hesitate to have something checked out.

Dr. Kurgis and his staff are incredibly professional and considerate. I leave every visit feeling highly taken care of– I highly recommend this office and doctor!

Bradley Kurgis is an amazing Dr.
My 17 yrs old son was very self-​conscience about what was horrible acne. He is an athlete that is constantly sweating, which makes the problem seem worse. He has little time to devote to his skin, but makes it a priority.
After 5 or 6 trips to Dr. Kurgis he looks like a different young man. By following the regimen as outlined by Dr. Kurgis his face is clearing up and his confidence is returning. Dr. Kurgis’s bedside manner and quiet confidence made my son (and me) believe what the Dr. said and caused my son to follow his orders to the letter.
Thank you Dr. Kurgis.

Dr, Kurgis is not only Professional but he’s very thorough. My family and I have been going to Dr. Kurgis for many years. We drive all the way from Pismo Beach. I highly recommend him and his team!

Dr. Kurgis and his staff are great! I read some reviews on here and did not know what to expect, but they were kind, efficient and nice! I would highly recommend!

If you’re looking to have some great bedside manner, this place may not be for you. However, if you want a top-​notch professional saving your dermis then Kurgis is who you go to. He and his staff may not be the most personable but they are professionally polite, they get the job done and they ask the right questions to make sure everything is covered. I was referred by a friend who said he’s the best in the county, and she was right.

«I have been a patient of Dr. Kurgis and Laurie Wheeler for years. I have battled adult acne and with the treatments, care and direction of Laurie my skin is 100% better! I am not embarrassed of my skin anymore! I got my confidence back! The whole staff there is wonderful. Everyone is friendly, professional and knowledgeable.
Thank you Dr. Kurgis and Laurie!!»

I love the Dr. Kurgis team; especially Chrissie, Laurie and Kelly!
Dr Kurgis, himself is highly professional and applies his expert knowledge generously.
Very busy office. Come prepared with your questions. They’re eager to support and treat.

I had called and made an appointment with Dr. Kurgis (specifically) for an unusual growth on my nose and for a «skin exam/​check». I have had basal cell skin cancer before and my last skin check was 2 years ago.
I was surprised when I was seen by Antonia the Nurse Practitioner instead of Dr. Kurgis. It seems she barely passed the legal age to drink alcohol. The skin check was a joke. Antonia did not even have magnifying glasses to check my skin… my clothes were on and were not requested to be removed. After 5 minutes and my clothes still on the exam was done.
This nurse or this clinic has no clue how to do a skin check and take the time they need to with patients. I have had skin cancer before, skin cancer runs in my family as well as other types of cancers, and I have not seen a dermatologist in 2 years. You would think they would be going over me with a fine tooth comb but I guess not.
So in summary if you want to half a real quick skin exam with your clothes on go here… and hope that you don’t have a melanoma under your bra!
My advice to Dr. Kurgis… I sure hope you have hefty malpractice insurance… I believe you will be using this very soon.

How to say «Thanks» for finally having a doctor that really cared about me and was willing to research and take on my skin condition? I had been to several doctors for help with a most unattractive and (little understood) skin condition. All the previous doctors were unwilling to figure out what was going on, much less treat my condition.
Dr. Kurgis was amazing! He offered hope and treatment! And while we were unsure what was causing my problems, D. Kurgis stuck with it, trying various treatments, until we found something that worked.
Seriously, I had been to several other doctors who wouldn’t take the time to really care about, or understand my condition. Dr. Kurgis stepped up to the plate and took the time to research, diagnose, and address my problem. Dr. Kurgis is awesome! I don’t know what I would have done without his help.

My severe cystic acne is almost 100percent gone under the treatment and care of Dr. Kurgis’ s office. I receive compliments on my skin all the time, and always refer them to Dr. K.
[To the whinny complaints on here, who cares about a 20ish minute office wait! I go for treatment of a medical condition not customer service.]
