Always such a great experience here. The staff is so sweet and Dr Swengel always makes you feel like you're his only patient. I have bought packages and have come regularly for my little gummy smile botox - the cheapest and most valuable part of my skin routine. 2 pinches and my gums aren't visible when I smile for 6+ months!! It makes me feel so much more confident and is beyond quick and easy. Thank you Refined and Dr Swengel!! <3

Dr Swengel and staff go above and beyond! I started coming to him for dermatology first. I commute from Santa Cruz to see him. Besides them having a flexable schedule to work with my busy work schedule, they got me in asap. I had a mole that looked suspicious and my old derm said they could see me in 8 weeks. Ive heard about Dr S for a few years and finally made the call.Needless to say Ive been a patient for 3 years now, and I have never been happier with a Dr's office ever!

Awesome staff! Beautiful office and Excellent Doctor. I have been to many Dermatologists over the last 15 years but Refined Dermatology is by far the best whether its for medical or cosmetic procedures. I will never go elsewhere. I originally came for tattoo removal and have received the best results after just one treatment here then my 11 treatments elsewhere. I will continue as a patient as long as he's here.

Dr. Swengel is an excellent dermatologist. He listens carefully to my concerns and suggests the most non-evasive way of treating them, with the least down time. He explains everything very clearly. He did the Nova Threads procedure (non-surgical face lift) for me and I am very happy with the results. Thank you, Dr. Swengel!

I came to Dr. Swengel and his staff years ago with a long history of acne and dry skin. Dr. Swengel was the 1st doctor to finally cure my acne that had been with me for decades and dozens of doctors! He helped me put years of acne anguish behind me and we've been steadily working towards getting rid of all the old scars and dark spots from my acne since then. I get compliments on my skin daily! His staff is always caring and kind and I recommend them all the time!

Dr. Swengel is a wonderful doctor. He truly wants to make his patients feel/look the best they can. Not only do you feel like your wishes are being heard, his knowledge to accomplish them is extensive.

I have been a patient of Dr. Swengel since he was treating at Santa Teresa Kaiser, I may have been 8yrs old -about 40yrs ago. He was the ONLY Dr of the many I had seen that was able to get my Chronic Psoriasis under control. Once he left Kaiser I was bounced around to multiple Dr's with severe flair ups that I could barely walk or move limbs-so painful. My husband decided to get private Ins and we made the BEST decision. I have been on Stellara with GREAT results, my skin is clear I can wear short sleeves, dresses love myself with not having the embarrassment of plaques all over while in excruciating pain. If you have the chance to get a consult with Dr. Swengel, please do he is AMAZING and I promise you will not be disappointed.
