Vaccaro Seth A MD

We saw Dr. Vaccaro today for my five year old daughter. He is a very gentle and thoughtful doctor. He was very knowledgable and we felt very comfortable with him. I highly recommend him and everyone in the office was friendly.

I’ve been under the care of Dr. Vaccaro for about 7 years now and I absolutely adore him. Dr. Vaccaro has excellent bedside manners and is willing to answer every question you have about your skin. I’ve suffered with mild acne and I’m proud to say that Dr. Vaccaro has kept my skin clear throughout the years; I couldn’t ask for anything more! Who doesn’t want a clear complexion?
The office staff is also very nice and they greet me by name as soon as I walk in the door. I couldn’t ask for a better dermatologist !

Dr Vaccaro is exactly what a physician should be like, in every respect. He is kind, compassionate, professional, intelligent and really listens to his patients. And every single person in the office is the same way. What a well run establishment.
He is the best ever!!!

I have been a patient of Dr. Vaccaro’s for over 22 years and can give him the highest recommendation possible, as a well-​regarded and eminent physician of long standing in Pasadena.
Dr. Vaccaro is a brilliant clinician, outstanding professional, and skilled diagnostician. HIs excellence extends to the highest tenure of patient care in alchemical transformation to the clinical experience through his compassion, kindness, and clinical expertise that is beyond compare.
The receptionists are courteous and friendly and appointments can be scheduled to accommodate patient requested dates with special, needed, or urgent appointments scheduled without delay.
The office, patient rooms, and equipment are immaculate.
Dr. Vaccaro is a trusted family physician.
Highly recommend!

I found Dr. Vaccaro to be attentive, kind, and an overall pleasure to deal with. Also, and most importantly, I think he knows his stuff. Further, the office was clean, and I never had to wait too long for my appointments. The treatment he prescribed and monitored did work, and it’s held up over time. Had I not moved out of the area, I would have continued seeing him.

I was a new patient for Dr. Seth Vacarro and very disappointed with his bedside manner. He is insensitive, lacks understanding, arrogant, and rude. He did not care about my comfort and needs. He was not helpful and I felt worse after leaving his office. I would not recommend Dr. Vacarro to anyone for any reason.

I really like Dr. Vaccaro so far. He takes the time to go over every little blemish and treatment in detail. I guess that’s why it takes awhile to get an appointment; but so nice to have a doctor that actually spends time with the patient for a change.

I really liked Dr. Vacarro, but I wasn’t impressed with his office staff. They could use a lesson on how to communicate with patients graciously and with compassion.

My first impressions of Dr. Vacarro’s office were good. The office was nice and clean, and the staff was pleasant and helpful. Dr. Vacarro was nice as well, but I was disappointed in his treatment practice. I had fallen and got a pretty bad scrape on my hand. It was very painful and bloody-​too painful to clean. I decided since I was seeing Dr. Vacarro the next day, I’d have him look at it and treat it. When I went in the next morning he just told me to put polysporin on it. He also didn’t clean the wound. 3 months later, I’m finally healing from a horrible fungus infection that I feel could have been avoided if the wound had been cleaned properly.
I left Dr. Vacarro’s office feeling disappointed that day as I had asked him what I could do to prevent scarring. His answer was to book another appointment in a couple of weeks to receive consultation on scarring. ??? This was a clear indication to me that the doctor was just trying to juice as many visits from me as possible to collect more money. How would a consultation two weeks later help me in preventing scarring?
Looking back, I realize I could’ve taken better steps to avoid my infection… I should have gone to the ER, or beared the pain and clean it myself. But I also look back and feel there was alot of negligence on Dr. Vacarro’s part.

Office: clean and easy to access. I never wait more than 15 min. Can usually get an appt within 2 weeks.
Parking: $ 1 per 20 min in a parking garage.
Staff: seem okay, would give them ⁴⁄₅ stars but basing my review mainly on the Dr.
Dr Vaccaro: one of the best doctors I’ve ever seen. I’ve been going to him for years to check out my moles for skin cancer prevention. He is kind and has excellent communication skills. Very patient and knowledgeable. Highly recommended.

Dr. Vaccaro’s office was exactly what I hoped for — direct, efficient, human, reasonable. As a new patient, I was immediately and warmly greeted, and provided a brief new patient form to complete. My name was called exactly at the appointment time (I was there a little early, expecting to complete some paperwork). One assistant accompanied me to the examination room, and Dr. Vaccaro joined me within about one minute. He did a thorough examination, rendered his diagnosis with an easily-​understood explanation, and a prescription which included generic alternatives. I absolutely recommend Dr. Vaccaro.

Dr. Vaccaro was kind and compassionate. Wait time was less than 10 min! Even though it was my first time seeing him, his experience and knowledge shone through from our discussion. I also appreciated he squeezed me in for an appt when i broke out in a severe rash. I really felt like he cared.

He’s the best dermatologist I’ve ever gone to. He’s so nice so honest takes his time doesn’t make the visit a rush. I’ve always had bad skin… Acne, scarring, uneven skin tone, cystic acne, pimples, etc. I was always on antibiotics n topicals but nothing really worked. He put me on Acutane for 7 months n monitored me with visits n blood tests. I’ve NEVER been happy like this with my skin. I can walk out from my house with bare skin n it looks fantastic!!! His staff is wonderful too very welcoming. Since he’s so popular it’s sometimes hard to get appointments but seriously go see him!

Went in to see Dr. Vaccaro based on a referral from our pediatrician. The office staff was very pleasant when first checking in. We waited about 5 minutes before we were moved into the exam room. Dr. Vaccaro was super nice and explained to me very well the condition that my son has.
Overall I was pretty happy with our first visit. I just booked myself an appointment to see Dr. Vaccaro myself.

I initially wanted to go to a fancy doc in BevHills, but since it’s such a drive, I lagged about making an appt for a while.
Then my friend happened to mention a derm she went to here in Dena and how wonderful he was!
Soo, I thought I’d go to him instead since he was so much closer.
Dr. Vaccaro is amazing! He is so so friendly and welcoming and honest!
I went in for a few different things (including super minor acne scar reduction aka I wanted Retin A!) and he was so helpful with all of it and made me feel very comfortable.
He’s such a delight to go to and definitely would recommend him to anyone looking for a great dermatologist!

A nice local dermatologist. Dr. Seth is very helpful and friendly. They also specialize in Psoriasis and has a UV light box on premise for treatment. However their light box is not a narrow band UVB. Instead it is a generation older technology of full band UVB. Treatment result is still good but it just takes a bit longer to build up and you get burn a bit quicker if not careful. Having said that, you will be in good care during your UVB light treatment under the supervision of a nurse. If you only need a few sessions, you will be fine. If this will be a lifetime treatment, then consider buying your own narrow band UVB unit. Visit
to find a used UVB narrow band light unit for sale. If you are not in a hurry, you will find one at a decent price. Either you have your own light unit or use the facility’s own unit for treatment. Dr Seth Vaccaro will take care of you. I love Dr. Vaccaro but I am dinging them for one star due to their billing department. Seems like every time I pay my co-​pay during my office visit. I always (90%) get a follow up letter that I owe them another $ 20 to $ 25 because insurance would not cover so I am responsible for it. This is just for seeing Dr. Seth only, no treatment. It is very irritating, I rather have the billing do their job properly and just tell me what I owe up front and not have to be bothered with this whole back billing. And the office manager is a piece of work, she has no compassion. Despite this, I will not hold Dr. Seth for the billing dept’s incompetent against him personally but it is a drag. Because Dr. Seth is such a great dermatologist, I will come back and deal with the lame ass billing department.
P. S. make sure to keep all of your co-​pay receipts so you have a good record on your end if you need to prove them wrong, especially if you are paying in cash.

Recommend! A1 doctor… very sympatico… have seen him over 10 years for a variety of cosmetic stuff and some mishaps… answers your questions fully… inspires confidence. i’m not a big fan of the medical profession in general, LOL… but he’s good!
