I came here to get some scars and keloids looked at, and I had a super smooth experience. The office staff were very polite and kind, and I was seen on time without issue. Dr. Saleh is very knowledgeable, very much living up the stereotype that dermatologists tend to be the top of their medical school classes he did a punch biopsy and injected some steroids, and years later I have minimal recurrence of my scarring and keloids. Definitely planning to come back here soon for some other skin issues! Edit: I very embarrassingly wrote the wrong name of my provider -- review is now updated to reflect the correct name

I would show up early just in case. Check in process was pretty simple. Few pages to fill out. I did wait a little while over my appointment time but it was easily forgivable after seeing the amount of time Dr Hsu spends with patients (which makes sense why she can run behind). She was very friendly and made me feel comfortable. She didn't rush me at all and answered all my questions and was very thorough in her examination. Also a huge plus (because I've heard it's an issue with other offices) she wasn't pushy at all about extra treatments or products. She suggested things that could help but it definitely felt informational and not salesy. She even gave me a sample of skincare to try. The ladies working at the office were also very cordial and worked well together. Seems like a nice place to work. I definitely recommend this office.

He gave me excellent counsel about my upcoming knee procedure and I made changes to my plan that made me feel more comfortable moving forward. I also have gained self confidence since recieving my skincare and the insecurities that used to trouble me are no longer with me. I feel good about the way I look and who I am. He is very skilled about blending improved health with a positive outlook. These days where there are so many options for medical care it's important to find a doctor who takes the time to get to know you.

Dr. Zahedi texted me to say that:…read more 1) His office received a medical records request from my disability case manager. 2) That he won't be providing my case manager with my medical records unless I remove my Yelp-review. 3) He proceeds to fabricate a lie that I called one of his staff autistic, which is nonsense; The only rebuke I've mentioned about him and his staff are in my Yelp-review. [Frankly, his frail ego can't handle the fact that someone gave him a 1-star review, and now he's become unhinged; Updating, editing, and reposting lies about me several times a day. This type of behavior seems indicative of narcissistic personality disorder.] This is not only grossly unethical, but it's, also, illegal. As a result, I submitted a formal complaint to the Medical Board of California.

I've been coming here since April 30, 2025, and I honestly can't say enough good things. I first…read morecame in with active acne, dark marks, and scarring, and from the beginning I felt genuinely cared for. Every provider here is wonderful I don't recommend one specific doctor because they are all amazing. My treatment plan was very thorough and thoughtful. We started with oral medications, skincare routines, and facials, and my doctor took the time to try different oral options to see what worked best for my skin instead of rushing the process. Once my acne was under control, I moved on to laser treatments to help with scarring and pigmentation, and the improvement has been life changing. This place truly feels like a second home. Every single provider I've seen has been kind, patient, and knowledgeable, and you can tell they genuinely want the best results for their patients. I also want to give a special shoutout to Marisol at the front desk, she is honestly the reason I love coming in. She is so patient, welcoming, and kind, and she always makes my day better the moment I walk in. Little things like that matter so much. They even have snacks and drinks, which just adds to how comfortable and welcoming the environment feels. I've attached my before and after photos because the results speak for themselves. I'm so grateful for this office and everyone who works here.

The front desk experience was extremely disappointing…read more My first visit to this clinic was actually very positive. My insurance declined the payment at the time, and Dr. James kindly gave me a discount to help me out. That left such a good impression on me that I continued coming back afterward. Even when I previously had an allergic reaction to medication prescribed here, I chose not to complain because I trusted this clinic. So when my lips suddenly became swollen this time, this clinic was still the first place I came to. Unfortunately, this experience felt completely different. The front desk staff simply kept repeating that I had to pay $150 and made no effort to communicate my situation to Dr. James. Ironically, when I explained my insurance situation to the doctor directly, he did try to check for me. After my surgery, I still had questions about the procedure itself and wanted to briefly speak with the doctor again, but the front desk just told me there would be post-care later. I understand doctors are busy, and I was completely willing to wait. I had just undergone a small surgery, asking to briefly speak with my doctor should not feel like asking for a special privilege. Her tone makes me feel like I need her approval and she is the security to guard the doctor. All of these was not an issue when I was in the DTLA location, the doctor always follow-up a little bit when I check out and both the cashier and front desk are friendly. Costa Mesa and DTLA locations gave me completely different experiences. After being a customer for years, what disappointed me most was that the attitude only became nicer after I expressed how upset I was. Why I should even have to argue with her when my lip is still numb? If the front desk staff's role is mainly financial and they do not have basic people skills, then they should not be in a front desk position at a medical clinic. A professional front desk staff member should at least show some level of care and empathy toward patients, especially patients who just underwent a small surgery and are already stressed or uncomfortable.

Time to post an update: It is now over 10 years that I have been a regular client at Amoderm and I…read morecontinue to be satisfied with the services. It's been several years since I finished my laser hair removal treatments there and my results are holding pretty well. I had literally no hair growing back on my shoulder and back. I added more areas since then and all worked amazingly well. I also did 2 more rounds of Sculpsure for body sculpting and stubborn fat reduction in belly and flanks. As a background, I am pretty fit and just needed some additional toning and the Sculpsure was a perfect touch and greatly helped. I have continued with the scalp treatment for male pattern hair loss prevention and treatment. I am alternating PRP with hair growth stem cell factor to maximize my results and I can confidently say that the treatment was effective in stopping the thinning and stimulating some hair regrowth. As for new treatments, I started doing Botox for my frown lines and lines on forehead at Amoderm around 2 years ago and have done it 3-4 times so far. The results typically last a good 3-5 months for me and I appreciate how I am still able to have full facial expression with natural look and avoid looking frozen while having the lines and wrinkles erased. Same great experience as other treatments I have done at Amoderm and well worth the money. Highly recommend as before!
