About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Surf City Dermatology, every morning begins with an unusual announcement over the intercom: ‘Ladies and gentlemen, please be advised that our resident seagull has taken up residence in the waiting room again.’ A regular patient jokes that it must be there for consultations on feathered skincare. One day, a delivery driver arrives, complaining, 'I thought I was bringing medicine, not birdseed!' The receptionist smiles and says, 'Welcome to Surf City Dermatology—where even seagulls get perfect complexions.'

2. At Surf City Dermatology, patients often wonder aloud why the receptionist keeps asking if they’re allergic to sunshine. One day, a delivery driver arrived with a box full of tropical fruits. When asked about his allergies, he replied, ‘Only to mosquito bites!’ The receptionist scribbled something down and said, “Next time bring some lemons—we’ve got an outbreak of sunburns.’ Everyone in line burst out laughing, realizing that maybe she wasn’t so serious after all.

3. At Surf City Dermatology, one day a patient asked the doctor, ‘Why does everyone in town suddenly look like they’re wearing sunscreen even indoors?’ The doctor smiled and replied, ‘Because I’ve been prescribing extra-strength SPF for everyone who comes through my door!’ Turns out, it wasn’t just the sun that was making people glow—everyone in town had become walking billboards for his new skincare line.

4. At Surf City Dermatology, whenever a baby comes in for a check-up, they can't help but notice the fish tank in the waiting room. But lately, something strange has been happening—every time a child looks into it, the goldfish start swimming in circles around their reflection. One day, an elderly neighbor came in complaining of a rash. When she saw her own reflection in the fish tank, she started laughing so hard that she almost fell off her chair! The doctor asked what was funny, and she replied, ‘I thought those fish were following ME!’
