Great dermatologist for psoriasis
I'm switching out of Kaiser to a PPO and I'm looking for a great medical dermatologist who can advise me on my lifelong psoriasis and the latest treatments. (Not looking for a cosmetic derm.) Any recommendations?

I have Aetna PPO and see Dr. Littman in Oakland. My psoriasis is treated using Enbrel (biologic/injectable). Prior to having children, I was on it for about 5 years with no issues. I took a 5 year break for babies and breastfeeding and just started it again. Good luck!
I go to Jennifer Krasnoff in Pinole. It's a drive but you can get an appointment quickly and parking is free.
Dr. Robert Greenberg has two only medical dermatology offices. One is located in San Ramon and the other is in Livermore. He is the Director of the East Bay Psoriasis Treatment Center and I cannot urge you to see him more.
Look up the website for Inspire.com, which is a forum about eczema but includes psoriasis.
David Pasin in Oakland has been helpful. It's been a challenge for me to find a medical dermatologist in the berkeley area as most practice cosmetic dermatology.
Pasin is a bit scattered, but knowledgeable. There are a couple of other dermatologists in the practice whom are also good.
I love Jason Fung in Oakland. Solid practice and not heavy on the cosmetic - at all. Just a solid caring and knowledgeable doctor/dermatologist. Young - probably late 40's.
