It is my pleasure to review the Brandish Clinic after going here for more than a decade. Dr. Brandish keeps my complexion looking fresh and young! She is also one of the kindest people I've ever met and everyone in her office is just as nice. Super professional and a master of her craft. She makes you feel comfortable and is extremely knowledgeable, I have recommended her to so many friends because of the amazing results I have gotten. I am a loyal client for life. read more

Yesterday was my third visit to Brandish Clinic. I was happily greeted by Yvonne, who was very pleasant and helpful. Yvonne was genuinely happy to help and provided excellent customer service. I absolutely love and trust Dr. Brandish's recommendations. On the three different occasions I have consulted with her, I found that Dr. Brandish is incredibly knowledgeable and experienced and an artist who takes into consideration your natural beauty to enhance it as naturally as possible. Dr. Brandish answered every question I asked her, and her responses were very well explained. In my experience, Dr. Brandish's treatment proposal aligned well with what I envisioned for myself before the consultation. My treatments at Brandish Clinic include Lumenis IPLs, YAG laser (for my mild rosacea and veins), and Botox. All treatments received have improved my skin's quality and brought it back to life. I would definitely recommend it. read more

The best aesthetic medical specialist I've experienced. she has an incredible eye for aesthetic detail. highly recommend! read more

Dr. Brandish is the best! She is an artist and a very caring provider. If you are in San Diego, you have to go to Brandish Clinic!

I have been a patient of Dr Brandish for 10 years and have always been happy with my results. Dr Brandish and her staff are professional, courteous and accommodating, she is up to date on all treatments and has amazing placement, I would not trust my Botox procedure to anybody else; best bang for my buck read more

I love the Brandish Clinic! Brinda, the office manager, is so incredibly kind and personable. You are greeted with a smiling face the moment you walk in the door. While you wait, there are plenty current magazines, and complementary bottles of water and coffee. Once in the patient room, pleasant jazz music plays to put you at ease. Dr. Brandish is also so sweet and friendly. She does amazing work! I have had fantastic results with her. I would definitely recommend the Brandish Clinic for any of your skin care treatments. read more

The worst! So unprofessional! Made me look like a monster injecting the filler under my lip not in it, basically the filler went to my chin!!! Even after I returned back to fix it and complained about how extremely bruised and uneven it was she didn't do much, just added some more but DIDN'T FIX HER MISTAKE! I spent 2 years to fix my face!!! Disgusting!! And of course I paid much since the money is the only thing she cares read more

I had a consultation several months ago last year, but at that time I didn't get any treatment done. Couple of weeks ago, I walked into her clinic on late Friday afternoon hoping to make an appointment. I was greeted by a very friendly and helpful Yvonne. Dr. Brandish was with her last patient, but she stayed to treat me. She explained everything before she started the treatment, and she was very thorough. I am very happy with my result! They also gave me a phone number to call/text over the weekend in case I had any questions or concerns. read more

What a wonderful and relaxing experience for Botox. Men who want to stay more youthful looking need to see Dr. Brandish, she is a true artist. Very relaxing office and she is an expert at discussing treatment options. This is my third visit and I plan on seeing her for my regular follow up visits as well. read more

Dr. Brandish is a professional you can absolutely trust with your face and skin. The results are always as expected and it's relatively easy to make an appointment within the same week. read more

Dr. Brandish is phenomenal and I have had incredible results with Botox and fillers. Beware of places that offer these services "cheap" as you get what you pay for . She is honest and professional and I give her 5 stars! The receptionist Brenda is friendly, knowledgeable and professional. I will never go to anyone else. I hope that yelp does not remove this review as they have my other one. I have been a patient here for years and it's a shame yelp "filters" real reviews from real patient. Update... my daughter just went to Dr. Brandish and not only was impressed with the amazing filler results she actually told my daughter to start with one syringe of filler and in a few weeks if she wanted more to come back. I appreciated her honesty and it clearly is not about pressuring patients for more money. Again, the few one star reviews I saw on here must be from the competition because she is nothing short of a master at her craft. read more

I have been coming here for years because I love that Dr. Brandish is conservative in her approach, isn't there to sell her patients on new treatments, and takes pride the fact she is Physician, not an assistance. She values her experience and takes her time with each person she sees. I started with wrinkle reducers but inquired about filler and lasers, and inquired about filler and shapes. I allow her to assess and she insists on starting small as she can always add if needed but not subtract. I send my friends. The dr. is kind and her demeanor is professional, not making anyone feel as they need to change themselves. My girlfriends and husband agree, she is very good at what she does and answers questions honestly. She herself is beautiful, but not anything unnatural looking. I would want a Dr who also keeps themself classy, and she is a kind, hardworking woman. read more

I am not happy with my experience with this place AT ALL! Dr. Brandish seemed nice but she did not listen to me; my goal is to smooth out the minimal fine lines i have. At other places I never get more than 50 units TOTAL and she insisted that i needed about 80.... This is not my first time getting botox yet I ended up paying 2x the amount and it just wasn't effective. 3 weeks later, I am not happy with my experience or the hit to my wallet. *** 8 weeks later i get a call from the clinic following up. No one returned any of my calls initially so this was really too little too late. I told the receptionist exactly what i posted above and she asked if the doctor could call me back. I said yes. 2 weeks later no call. read more

I've been going to the Skin Clinic for several years, and I plan to continue until someone closer to Vista gets as smart as Fred and company are in La Jolla, and do volume business to get prices low - while providing excellent service. In the meantime, I drive 50+ miles round trip because the Skin Clinic is worth the trip. No incompetent IPL or other procedures, they know what they're doing here and the prices are much more reasonable than my dermatologist's office. Dr Brandish does IPL for my rosacea, and botox occassionally at the rock bottom price of $10/unit on special. With IPL, it's important that the doctor performing the procedure be well practiced, it's a tricky art if you have rosacea and brown spots, two settings are needed, one for red and one for brown. Also, each patient is different, and I have ultra-sensitive skin: Thus it's so important to me that the doctor be efficient and effective, fast so the pain is over asap. I've had IPL done for 15 years at half a dozen different doctors/clinics, with several laser types from New York to San Francisco to LA. I have found, by volunteering to be a test case for the first IPLs in the Bay Area that you can have the best machine but IF the person administering the treatment doesn't do rosacea often, and they miss the details that make an okay treatment good or great. The machines are a little less painful today than 15 years ago, and the practicioner is essential to success and minimizing pain. The machine used by Dr Brandish usually causes little aftermath, while other machines I've had used on me bruise me and swell my skin for days after. With no better effect. The pulse-dye laser, I think it was, had my entire face black for the Christmas holiday, without great results. Never again! If you're going just for brown spots, the IPL is effective and much less painful. And Botox is a breeze. Patricia and Fred always help me get discounts on whatever is available - packages of IPLs, Botox savings, etc. They remind you of the timing necessary to get deals from the manufacturer, and they send out Internet Newletter deals regularly with those deals as well as the Clinic's own specials. I recommend this clinic to my closest friends. read more

Repeat customer - - 2010-10-27 I have a hectic schedule, so I appreciate that I can pick up the phone and get an appointment the same day. The office staff is courteous and professional, and Dr. Brandish is gentle and caring. They provide a comfortable environment as soon as you walk in the door. Edit - Delete read more

Dr. Brandish is fantastic! She really knows her stuff and is a pleasure to visit. She reviews what is best for you and your face and provides great options. I recommend Dr. Brandish very highly and I do not usually provide reviews for anyone :) read more

I have been going to Brandish clinic for a few years. She always does an excellent job and knows just how to make me feel and look better. She never over does my treatments and makes me look natural. She always works with me to make me my best self. I would and do highly recommend Brandish Clinic for Botox for any facial rejuvenation you may interested in. Check out her specials on her website. read more

Brandish Clinic - Office waiting area - Skin Care Near Me - La Jolla, California

This is the place to go for Botox! Excellent placement = excellent results! I once went somewhere else for lower price ... ( 3 dollars a unit less)Mistake!!!! I had a heavy brow, droopy lids and way more units than I wanted to buy. This Has never happened at Cosmetic Laser & Skin Rejuvenation Clinic. Dr. Brandish provides great botox placement while listening to my concerns. This place makes me look 10 yrs younger! I have also had my lips done with fillers and I am hooked ! Again excellent placement and a listening ear to what I am looking for as a result.. Thanks Dr Brandish for such a great experience every time. read more

I was in San Diego and heard about this place from a friend who had a amazing experience so I decided to get some laser hair removal done on my face. I was blown away. The clinic is very professional and the staff is so kind and friendly. The prices were very reasonable and they did a great job on my face. I have after 2 treatments seen very satisying results. Plan to definitely go back for a IPL facial and to get some Botox done. Very pleased !!!! G read more

I been going to this office for over 6 months and love my results. Love how they are treating you like family, care about your results, follow up phone calls, etc. Will never ever go anywhere else. Fred and Dr. Brandish are great, recommend this office to everyone!! read more

I have been going to Dr. Brandish for over a year and completely trust her. She listens to what I want and I always love the results. Her prices are competitive. I wouldn't risk going to anyone else. I was initially referred by a friend and learned later of so many more of my friends that go to her. They all look amazing ! You won't be disappointed. I recommend Dr. Brandish with confidence ! read more

I reccomend Dr. Brandish with my greatest confidence. I saw other doctors for injectables like botox and fillers prior to finding her with an occasional mishap. I have been a patient of Dr. Brandish for 10 years now and her professionalism, perfectionism, artistry, knowledge and attention to detail are unsurpassed- the results of her work have always been a beautiful, satisfying outcome. Also, she is a lovely lady who strives to know her patients & understand and meet their needs. I would never think of going anywhere else. read more

I love love love this clinic. Dr. Brandish is a perfectionist and I always leave feeling youthful and very happy with my results. I've had Botox and fillers with other doctors and she has had to fix the mistakes. I only go to her as of 2017. Also, when I walk in, I'm always greeted with a smile and professional attitude from her receptionist Brenda. read more

I had perfect results. It was quite a bit more than I was going to get, but it was worth it. I have had botox all over California this is as good as it gets. I am 50 years old and I will include a photo as soon as I figure it out. read more

See all

I have been going to Dr. Brandish for over two years; the results have been and continue to be life changing! I felt surgery was my only option but was completely wrong. Dr. Brandish is an artist that knows what she is doing. She super exceeds her peers by the fact she cares about her patients, listens to them and has a talent for slowing the aging process and turning-back-the clock to younger, healthier looking skin. There is absolutely no one or establishment that comes close to the quality and service; Brandish Clinic of La Jolla CAlifornioffers. From the moment you step in that door; be prepared to be amazed at the results and service. read more

Thanks for the excellent professional and caring service. Always consistently thoughtful. The only doctor I trust!

Dr. Brandish provides exceptional service.She specializes in a very natural look & is very sensitive to patient input. The IPL treatment has taken years off my skin! read more

I originally started seeing a different beauty doctor in San Diego, but I was not satisfied with my results. I also didn't like the fact that he didn't give much input andI stop going there. Then I found Dr. Brandish's office and I gave it a try. My first visit with Dr. Brandish was very pleasant, she asked what I was looking for and she gave me her opinion on that would work best. I was very happy with my results with dysport fillers. I have been coming to Dr. Brandish Clinic for five years. I highly recommend Dr. Brandish Clinic. read more

I have been coming to see Dr. Brandish for over 5 years and I just love her work! I literally travel to the San Diego area just for an appointment with her and I live most of the time in Washington State! She is so gentle and kind. I never have any pain with her treatments! I highly recommend her services! It's never any stress, very clean and serine environment! She is just amazing! I love how I look and feel after an appointment with her! 5 star, all the way! read more

Dr. Brandish is the best. She is kind, knowledgeable and very trustworthy. I won't go anywhere else!!!

Love this place, Patty is so the best. I have had btx, IPL, n jvderm. All was great. I just metabolized the jvderm in weeks, but that was just my own reaction to it. I totally recommend you to go there. Dr. Is just as nice and sooo fabulous. Your not just a customer there, they talk, ask n chat. I took my mom!!! I knew they would be Just as nice to Her. It's hard to leave cuz they make you feel good and look great! Don't forget to mention I sent you, they have a generous referral policy ;-) Enjoy your better self!!! read more

The BEST doctor to go to for fillers, laser and all your beauty needs is Dr. Atousa Brandish. She's a perfectionist, caring, gentle and a careful. I cannot say enough. Love her! read more

I got Restalyn done on my lips with Dr Brandish. Right after, she told me I may need to come back and get some corrections done once the swelling went down. They were almost perfect but one side was looking fuller (my smile is naturally crooked, its my fault) I did, they look amazing and it looks natural. I love it. I wouldn't go anywhere else. Once I get wrinkles I'll be going there for botox as well. read more

This place is terrible - I went a few months ago for Botox and an IPL treatment. The IPL, which is supposed to be mild with limited side effects left me incredibly swollen with welts all over my face. I literally looked like a character from a bad Ben Stiller movie. When I called, they weren't apologetic at all, nor were any explanations given. Botox did not take, had to go back for a touch up which they charged me full price for. Much better bet is Ageless and Beautiful in Hillcrest which has better prices and service. read more

I have convinced myself after many months to write this. I went to Dr. Brandish and referred a number of people to her. I was not given referral points for Botox ,until I went with a friend and she told me about it. Dr. brandish is very nice and professional. However every time a lot of Botox units were needed. Maybe I am getting old,but talking to acquaintances who do this procedure, it was often said it is too much. I was with a friend at my last appointment months ago and we both had Botox and I somehow got to get fillers under my eyes. I didn't ask for the most expensive but I got it( didn't know until I had to pay). It would last 18 months she said. Some people less due to their metabolism. I was inflamed and bruised for a good three weeks. Bruising or injection site scar still present under left eye. I told Dr. Brandish I was going away. Came back a month later and left it without calling and thefriend who came with me said go and redo it,It can't be gone after a month or two she said. I had to send a photo in if I was not going in for a procedure Said her assistant . Dr. Brandish called after seeing my photo and said ,my metabolism is too high. 1800 cost again. So 18 months lasted me two months and I needed to do it again I did not tell her that I had had fillers around my laugh line done years back and it had lasted me 2years or more instead of 6 months... The Botox that both my friend and I got did not take for either of us, and we did it in the same appointment. Both of us brought that to her attention separately. Answer "how unusual." I don't know how qualified the assistant is but she should not say "oh you need more". She has said that to me on both occasions about the filler and Botox. The Dr. prescribed what she thought was the correct amount. I truly think Dr. Brandish is nice but I keep forgetting there is a business aspect to this side of the medical aspect at whatever the price. Wait time is also loooong btw. read more

Dr. Brandish is excellent and great pricing. A lot of of places to choose from. Def. go here! Great results. Very happy. Also good customer service when I needed to have a credit adjusted. Love this place. read more

Really really bad service. My sister and I had Botox at the same day! I usually get 20 units and it works,but At this office, they told me that I need 30 units and I was agreed to get 30 for better result and look! After 10days I called them because I did not see any result and the very very very rude receptionist said I need to get more units! She gave me and my sister the exactly same answer! How come I got more units this time but it didn't work at all, so for sure something is wrong with their Botox or doctor just injected me 5 units. All this doctor cares is Money.... read more

Complete injustice! I went in for under the eye fillers and botox and the staff seemed so friendly. Here's the major problem. I had discussed with Brinda pricing for 12 month fillers and she gave me a price. I came in and they gave me what I requested and I paid them in full before I left the office. Brinda called me after I paid and left their office and explained they made a mistake with my bill, that they had put 18 month fillers in my eyes instead of 12 month fillers and it was going to cost me another $400! I felt this was their mistake that I shouldn't have to pay it as they never told me they were putting 18 month fillers in my eyes when they performed the procedure. I honestly could sue them, to be honest. I have now since paid the excess bill b/c they sent it to collections. There are too many other reputable places in the San Diego/La Jolla area for skin work to be done, so I highly recommend you skip this one and go somewhere else. read more

I drove from Orange County to go here and I had a great experience. It was a little more $$ than I was use to paying, but you know what they say you get what you pay for. Ive been getting botox for 5 years and this is the best its ever looked. The best thing is they are up to date on the the rebated so it help off sets the cost. I would recommend this place to my friends... Plus you get $50 for every person that you referral and they get $25!! read more
