I've seen Dr. Rahimi several times now for medical dermatology issues. The first time was for an…read moreunfortunate abscess on my abdomen, and he made the procedure as anxiety-free and painless as possible. I was honestly surprised because I've had similar issues in the past that led to ER visits, painful procedures, and unsightly scars. Dr. Rahimi is extremely knowledgeable, gentle, and very conservative in his approach, which I really appreciate. When I ask about different treatments or procedures, he takes the time to explain everything clearly and will even tell me no if something isn't the right choice -- which shows how much he prioritizes patient care over unnecessary treatments. He's also very thoughtful about different skin types and ethnic considerations, which is important to me. As a clinician myself, I'm very selective about the providers I trust, especially with my face, and Dr. Rahimi is one of only two dermatologists I would confidently recommend. His bedside manner is calm and reassuring, and the clinic always feels welcoming -- never rushed or impersonal. I'm really glad I found Dr. Rahimi after moving to LA and look forward to continuing my care with him for years to come. Thank you to Dr. Rahimi and the entire clinic staff for the exceptional care!

Great experience with Dr. David. He's very professional, attentive, and easy to communicate with…read more He explains everything clearly, answers all questions, and really takes the time to make you feel comfortable. You can tell he genuinely cares and wants to help. Highly recommend.

She is confident in her work - which is a lot more than I can say for the "celebrity dermatologists" who are running their offices as mills and don't actually care to help patients. I did various treatments with Dr. Ahdout including skin needling and her work is impeccable. She is also incredibly honest. I had done PRP at another office nearby at a much higher price and Dr. Ahdout explained how she believes it doesn't do much. She noted letting the blood from skin needling sit on the skin afterwards is sufficient. She could have sold me on PRP since I had inquired about it, but she was transparent. She is a truly trustworthy professional. Dr. Ahdout is high in both mental and emotional intelligence. She also hires people who run her office professionally. She has high standards both with how she treats and takes care of patients and also how her patients are treated by her staff. Doctors hire people who are like them. Most so called healthcare professionals couldn't care less about creating a healing environment as they hire wolves like them to run their offices. Therefore, most doctor's offices are not healing to say the least. Dr. Ahdout truly cares about her patients and creating a healing environment. I highly recommend her.

I'm Norwood 6-7 and had 5,337 grafts over two days (4,896 scalp, 441 beard) with Dr. Sean Behnam…read more A year before surgery, he was very direct that my donor area was too weak and that I wouldn't get a good result. Honestly, that's why I trusted him. 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.

I had a really great experience with Dr. Sean, Dr. Ben, and their entire team. You can tell Dr…read more Sean cares about his patients, and it shows in how he treats you throughout the process. I flew in from Seattle for the procedure, and I'm glad I did. My case wasn't simple since I had limited donor hair left and needed a repair, but he was still able to extract around 4,000 grafts and give me coverage in the areas that needed it. I'm looking forward to seeing how everything grows in over the next year. The follow-up care made a big difference for me. Dr. Sean checked in often and always responded when I had questions or concerns. Having that kind of communication made the recovery process so much less stressful. I do wish I had found him years ago. He has numerous compassionate doctor awards in his office, and after my experience, I can see why. I'm truly grateful I chose to have my procedure with Dr. Sean.

I asked my primary doctor about the same medication and only paid around $10 for the exact same prescription. I later received multiple messages from Metropolitan dermatology, claiming that I owed a balance for Botox and fillers. A service which I never requested or received. It has now been three years later, I have never gone back and yet the business is still claiming that I have an outstanding balance for an alleged filler appointment. It should also be noted that the company failed to provide me with an itemized receipt or proof of service. Although the doctor was friendly upon my visit, I would highly recommend looking elsewhere due to the inflamed prices and lack of proper communication and documentation.

Shanthi's office reply to my review about getting stitches without proper local anesthesia dosing…read morein her office: "Thank you for your feedback. Patient safety, comfort, and transparency during procedures are extremely important to our practice. To clarify for readers, routine full-body skin examinations at our office do not involve surgical excisions. During these visits, if a lesion requires evaluation, the standard approach is a superficial biopsy, which is a minor procedure performed with appropriate local anesthetic and does not require stitches." So...I had a mirage that I got these stitches in your office? Interesting response given I have the photos...? Original post: Trigger warning: stitches without proper anesthesia After a routine skin check, Dr. Shanthi identified a small freckle that required removal and described it as a quick, simple in-office procedure. I've had similar removals before and they were minor, as promised. Once the procedure started, I realized the area removed was much larger than what had been shown to me. Partway through, the anesthetic wore off and I could feel every stitch. I told her I was in intense pain, but she continued stitching, remarking she was almost done. I left shaking, with 7 stitches and a much larger wound than I was told to expect. Days later, the stitches were under so much tension, that the internal ones began to tear and I had to seek treatment at a different derm. This experience was extremely painful and distressing, careless, and unprofessional. Afterward, I looked through other reviews and found at least one similar account after a routine skin check. Do not trust 5-star reviews that focus on routine acne treatment or the friendliness of the front desk staff.

First, the staff warmly greeted me as soon as I walked in. They were all super nice! I then saw Dr. Jones, who said she could remove the bump right then and there, and they could send it for a biopsy just in case. The procedure was quick and painless! The bump is gone and the scar is barely noticeable. One thing I really liked about this place was that they said the consultation fee would be applied to any procedure I had done. Other places charged a similar consultation fee but would not count it towards the procedure. On top of that, the total cost was significantly less than quotes I received from other offices -- I probably paid half of what I would've paid at the other places I called. Most importantly, I was seen by Dr. Jones, who is an MD. Other places want you to consult with their PA first. Needless to say I'll be coming here for all my skincare needs going forward. Thank you, Dr. Jones and team!

I'm following up on my previous review. The same night I posted it, Dr. Tomasian personally called…read moreme to discuss the issues I had been having. I do appreciate that he took the time to listen, and the conversation itself was positive. Shortly after, my prescription was finally processed, and I received it on 5/1/26. It was also refilled for future use, which I'm thankful for. However, it took nearly two months to straighten everything out before I was finally able to receive my prescription. However, the overall experience still leaves me genuinely concerned. 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. I already deal with high blood pressure, and this experience elevated it further, which is both troubling and unacceptable when seeking medical care. 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.
