I called yesterday just to ask whether they could send a prescription for a compounded cream to a pharmacy in New York. I never confirmed or scheduled an appointment, yet I'm now getting nonstop text messages reminding me about an "upcoming appointment" and warning that I'll be charged a $50 no-show fee if I don't attend. I've tried calling multiple times to straighten it out, but no one answers the phone. If you're going to threaten patients with fees, at least have someone available to answer the phone and fix your own scheduling errors. Very frustrating experience. I wouldn't want to go to a business like this nor would I encourage others to do so. I can already tell they will try to overcharge their customers.

From the moment I walked into the office, I was greeted by a nice & tidy waiting area and the amazing staff. Every member of the staff was warm, welcoming, and genuinely pleasant, making the entire experience comfortable from start to finish. What truly sets Dr. Rahimi apart is his exceptional bedside manner. Unlike many dermatologists I've seen in the past, he took the time to get to know me, thoroughly explain my concerns, discuss my treatment options, and even share his professional background and the many specialties he offers. I never felt rushed, and it was clear that he genuinely cares about his patients. His practice offers a wide range of dermatologic and cosmetic services at very reasonable prices. It's refreshing to find a dermatologist who provides outstanding care without making you feel like great skin is only for those with unlimited budgets. You don't have to be rich to receive excellent dermatologic care. After seeing many dermatologists over the years, I can honestly say this was by far the most personal and patient-centered experience I've had. If you're looking for a knowledgeable, compassionate dermatologist who truly takes the time to listen, I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. David Rahimi. You won't be disappointed.

I believe Jamie especially has repeatedly shown BAD-FAITH,…read moreUNETHICAL, GREEDY, DECEPTIVE, MANIPULATIVE, MISLEADING and COERCIVE conduct and tactics that are primarily focused on keeping your money and not refunding you for what I consider a botched cosmetic result with even hard bumps under the skin that Dr. Ahdout had to manipulate which was painful. The focus should be on transparency as well as patient's health and well-being - not GREED. They also violate boundaries. Dr. Ahdout gave me her word that Jamie would not contact me further. Yet, Jamie contacted me despite my numerous written and verbal requests to cease contact. I believe I may be able to file a police report for harassment. Additionally, I believe Jamie even went as far as providing DECEPTIVE MISINFORMATION about matters that can affect health in further attempts to not refund me. I believe this is highly unethical and concerning conduct especially for a dermatologist office. I am posting this review after multiple attempts to resolve this matter. I left a message and sent emails the first time and I did not receive a call from Dr. Ahdout. The same thing happened a second time. I posted a review the first time and Jamie called right away so I removed it. When I went in to show Dr. Ahdout the result of her work - I felt gaslit because she was questioning me as to why she would do a job like this. She again asked on the phone yesterday as what I think happened - a question she herself should answer. She then said there are no before and after photos. I reminded her AGAIN that I have before photos on my phone that her own assistant took. Dr. Ahdout then asked if I would agree to a credit. I declined. She then said that they have a "policy" that once a patient asks for a refund they can't return to the office. I informed her that I would not want to work with a business that has punitive policies. I believe both her conduct and Jamie's conduct revolved mainly around keeping my money. When I first brought up the refund, Jamie immediately became aggressive on the phone and used what felt like patronizing repetition. She kept repeating my name aggressively as soon as I mentioned a refund, which felt like an attempt to cut me off and silence me. Jamie even went as far suggesting that the tightness was "normal". She even pointed to her face claiming she felt the same. I knew the tightness was not normal. When I asked Dr. Ahdout, she confirmed that it was not normal. I do not appreciate being gaslighted or having my concerns normalized as though this is something I should simply tolerate. This involves health and providing misinformation to patients can have great liability. Jamie also asked if I would want to do a correction. I declined. I noted in my review and also in an email to Dr. Ahdout's as well as during her call yesterday that I do not want to interact with Jamie at all. Dr. Ahdout GAVE ME HER WORD that she will call me back herself. Dr. Ahdout did NOT keep her word. Instead Jamie called and went back and forth attempting to claim that it wasn't 2 items I purchased and it was 1.5. She said Dr. Ahdout said there was "a confusion" and it was 1.5 items. I informed her that's false. Besides Dr. Ahdout's own prior confirmations - the invoice is more than clear. I explained, again, that Dr. Ahdout confirmed with me TWICE, once in front of her own assistant in person and again on the phone yesterday, that it was 2 items. Jamie went back and forth for at least 10 minutes arguing. I kept asking her to ask Dr. Ahdout. She refused 3 times and continued to argue. I kept mentioning what I paid for. She finally checked my invoice although she had ALREADY SEEN my invoice as she is the one who charged me AND even emailed it to me. She FINALLY agreed it was 2 items. I believe these practices are EXTREMELY DECEPTIVE and GREEDY. Then Jamie said their "corporate" is going to send me an email to sign "a form". I told her I'm not signing a release form as I need to see another doctor. Patients should not be forced to sign a release form to receive a refund. Jamie said their corporate "requires" this and that they will contact me. AGAIN, she displayed a pattern of violating boundaries and as soon as I would say their corporate did not have my consent to contact me - she would BLATANTLY REPEAT they will contact me. I informed her that at this point I have to do a full chargeback on the 2 items. I contacted my bank and did a full chargeback on the agreed upon amount. If they create ANY extra emotional distress and dispute the chargeback - I will immediately involve my counsel without further notice and use ALL legal remedies to not only obtain my money in full, but to also hold them fully liable for all damages including corrections needed and the emotional distress caused related to this matter and their conduct. I will also expand my online review to other platforms as I see fit.

I spent that year on topical finasteride and minoxidil, and dermastamping multiple times a week, slowly improving donor quality until he felt I could proceed--with realistic expectations. The procedure itself was incredibly smooth. Zero pain with conscious sedation, and he personally performed all extractions and site creation, which I think really matters. This isn't about achieving perfect density. It's about using limited grafts thoughtfully to create a natural frame for the face. From where I started, this result is beyond anything I expected, and we're already planning a second session to build density. Biggest takeaways: candidacy matters, expectations matter even more, and finding an honest surgeon who thinks like an artist is everything.

However, my recent experiences have left me quite disappointed, especially considering the sensitive nature of the services provided. In February, I decided to get a biopsy for a mole that was growing. The staff promptly took a sample for testing, which I appreciated. However, I was left without any follow-up regarding the results. I had to reach out myself to get the information, which I initially brushed off as understandable due to their busy schedule. Fast forward to my follow-up appointment on July 7th for another mole they had initially flagged. Again, they took a biopsy, but here we are over six weeks later, and I still haven't received any updates. I've tried calling, but unfortunately, I've reached out on days when the office was closed. It's disheartening that patients have to chase down their doctors for updates, especially when it comes to something as critical as skin cancer testing. The communication process needs significant improvement. While I really like the office's location and have had positive interactions with the staff, including Amber, who is always sweet and attentive, the lack of follow-through on biopsy results is concerning. In cases like these, timely updates should be standard practice to provide patients with peace of mind. I hope they can address these issues because I would like to continue my care here.

It took me being unusually persistent and more forceful than I'm comfortable with just to get a response from the office, pharmacy, and insurance. That shouldn't be necessary for a patient trying to manage their healthcare. More importantly, this situation caused me a great deal of stress and anxiety and has negatively impacted my health.

At this time, I'm giving a 3-star rating in recognition of the effort Dr. Tomasian made to personally address the situation. I may update this after future visits. I sincerely hope his office improves how they handle patient communication and follow-through so that no other patient has to go through a similar experience.

This is NOT a review of Dr. Jones. This is a review of his partner, Dr. Wesley. Dr. Jones referred me to his partner Dr. Wesley to extract a sebaceous cyst from my back. As I have been a happy patient of Dr. Jones, I scheduled the appointment with Dr. Wesley and had her perform the simple, routine procedure. Dr. Wesley explicitly told me to expect a "slight white line" of a scar that would be "barely noticeable." Almost two years later I still have a very noticeable dark scar the size of a quarter. It looks much more noticeable than the cyst ever did. I went to another dermatologist in the area who knows Dr Jones and he told me - and I quote - "That looks like it was an aggressive incision." That's why I decided to write this review. Another dermatologist said the incision was "aggressive" and after treating the scar with two anti-scarring topical medications, including Mederma, this quarter-sized dark scar is something I will have apparently forever. DO NOT LET DR. WESLEY MAKE INCISIONS ON YOU OR ELSE YOU COULD END UP LIKE ME. I regret having Dr Wesley perform this routine incision. From what the other dermatologist told me, I believe had I had anyone else perform it I would not have a big, noticeable ugly scar on my back. read more

I see Dr. Jones on a regular basis. My experiences with him and his office has been nothing but the very best. 1/11/2012 The first thing that strikes you about Dr. Jones is how outgoing and personable he is. He makes you feel comfortable, asks questions about your problems, does his best to explain what is wrong, and describes the various treatments that are available. Most importantly he seems to display a genuine sympathy and consideration towards your individual situation. I have to pay out of pocket, and in comparison to the various derms I have researched and tried in LA Dr. Jones is very affordable. It was refreshing to interact with someone so helpful, thoughtful, and intelligent. I will be going back to visit Dr. Jones and highly recommend him to everyone in need of dermatological care in the Los Angeles area. read more

In fact, just writing that combination of words makes me wryly laugh since it's close to impossible. Sounds like a fairy tale right? Made up. Like go find a four leaf clover and make sure it's purple. Prior to my visit I would have told you that it is indeed equally impossible to find such a doctor as finding this four leaf clover. "So," old me would have said, "go stuff your expectations for this dermatologist into Elon's SpaceX rocket since there's no place for them here." In other words - give up (especially on the Westside). However, and I say this rarely, I was wrong! There is one person out there who justifies and surpasses those expectations. Dr. Roberts is the happy ending to my quest for a dermatologist who is trustworthy, intelligent, thorough, up-to-date, and experienced, with a lovely bedside manner. But on top of that her staff is unbelievable - my paperwork wouldn't come through and Patricia was so helpful, and shockingly patient (I would have gotten tired of me and my emails). During my visit, she and her staff were actually KIND, as in genuinely nice with their interactions, which I had pretty much given up on in the world of westside dermatologists. Her nurse, Brielle (sp?), was sweet to me. Seriously - actually sweet. I know - get back in your chair because you fell out of it. I was able to go through all my concerns and questions. Dr. Roberts actually diagnosed me and prescribed medication instead of selling me some multi thousand dollar treatment featured in US Weekly, but this was what put me in a Disney movie ... wait for it ... they offered to bill my insurance to get me a reimbursement since my visit was medical! I literally almost fell over. A dermatologist asking for my insurance card. I was so unprepared, I didn't even have it with me.

It's pouring rain outside and I had to park blocks away since they do not validate parking in their garage. After paying for parking, arriving soaking wet through the rain, they almost told me I couldn't wait for the Dr. in the waiting room. I asked for a chair to sit outside in the hallway and they obliged my request to sit in the waiting room. This means my $100+ deposit to secure my appt is a loss for me and gain for them, and it makes me wonder if this is happens to others. I asked the front desk lady about what they plan on doing about the money I had already paid or if my visit today will be discounted based on the issues and she shrugged her shoulders in response. I chose Dr. Heather Roberts based on the reviews I've read, but unfortunately I was not one of the ones who received that treatment. I understand emergencies may happen, but the office should've been more professional and proactive phoning those with appts hours before their time. Especially those who have been booked for months. I cannot justify paying full price for a visit that's already cost me a great deal of money, but most of all time I cannot get back. Word of advice: CALL the office before you drive to your appt to make sure the doctor is there- because the office will not call you in time.
