She is currently a member of the American Academy of Dermatology, the American Medical Association, and the International Society of Cosmetic Laser Surgeons, and she is a fellow of the American Society for Mohs Surgery.

We offer Telemedicine services for Dermatology! 

By offering telemedicine services, we can reach to patients who may have difficulty visiting the clinic in person, whether due to distance, mobility issues, or other constraints. Additionally, telemedicine can be a useful tool for follow-up consultations, discussing treatment plans, and monitoring progress for certain skin conditions.

At West Hills Dermatology Group, We value our patients' experience. Read below what our happy clients say about us!

Carol M.

"My first visit to your office. I had a great experience. The doctor spent a lot of time with me answered all my questions and her assistant answered my questions and was very kind. Everyone in the office was very helpful and answered every question that I had. Office was very clean. The waiting room was very very nice with a lot of live pretty flowers in there."

Kate S.

"Been a patient here for about three years (hubby too). Kerry S. has been our NP. We always find her professional and she does a thorough job on our body scans. Feel very comfortable here. Front office and back office staff always patient and courteous."

Richard T.

"I have lots of choices for my dermatology requirements because of my very good insurance plans and my VA insurance. One visit to West Hills Dermatology Group and Dr. Gaminchi and you will see why you will never consider any other doctor or facility. Dr. Gaminchi treats you like you're her only patient. Keep in mind, because of the above you may experience a delay in the waiting area at times but so worth it. I live in Maine for a good part of the year. I set my appointments arround my trip back to California."
