Kathy Gohar, MD - Botched job of destroying the veins - Dermatologists Near Me - Beverly Hills, California

Dr. Gohar has committed fraud by using my credit card without my authorization. She claimed her credit card machine was not on line, and asked for a photo of my card. After I had paid, I asked her if she deleted my credit card from her phone. She said she did, and the next day after it was supposed to be deleted, she charged my card again without my permission. This is FRAUD. In addition this fraudulent behavior, she called me on a Sunday, only hours before I was set to travel to see her to tell me to meet her at her "other" office. She stated she had been there a while. Why not notify me sooner? Because she knows she would have lost not one but two clients that day. When I arrived at this office, which is NOT ON ROXBURY DR., is a run down building in a questionable neighborhood. This location did not have a proper waiting room & receptionist, and a folding table with cheap fake flowers on it. The "make shift room" was bare bones. It was completely unprofessional to say least. In addition to all this, her work and results that have been preferenced in all low scoring reviewsare FACT based on what I experienced too, and reflect the lack of quality work and service. Stay away from this Dr. She is deceitful & conducts fraudulent business practices. read more

Dr. Kathy Gohar combines exceptional expertise with genuine care and accessibility. She acts with her patients' best interests in mind. I couldn't recommend her more highly. read more

Dr. Gohar has exceeded my expectations every step of the way. She is an experienced professional who is fully invested in her patients results. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for the highest level of care and I am extremely pleased with my surgical results. Dr Gohar was communicative, compassionate and responsive throughout our consultations. I was confident that I would have the results I was looking for. I liked that she took time to review my concerns and explain resolutions to my questions. Her rates were also very competitive as compared to my other inquiries. I was pleasantly surprised that the actual procedure was as seamless as it was. Dr Gohar eased my nerves with her calming presence on the day of the operation. Her staff was warm and provided the highest level of care. My positive experience has continued post-op as well. Dr Gohar continues to monitor my results and provide necessary care to ensure the most cosmetic results possible. It's incredible to see her above and beyond approach to patient care. Thank you so much Dr Gohar and team; very thankful for all of your help! read more

Over the years I started noticing more and more spider veins on my legs and I finally got to the point where I wanted to do something about them. Through a Google search I found out about sclerotherapy and looked up doctors who provided the service on Groupon. I found Dr. Kathy Gohar and her prices were somewhat reasonable. I went two different times to get the sclerotherapy done on my legs but honestly I feel it was a huge waste of $. At first there was improvement but they came back shortly after. I wasted so much $ for nothing and I still have bruising from the injection sights more than half a year later. I also developed new spider veins where I was injected for the previously existing ones. She's a nice lady, so I feel bad leaving this review but I just feel ripped off. read more

Kathy Gohar is a great doctor. She has great bedside manners. She won't try to upsell or sell you unachievable results. Is honest and competent. read more

Dr. Gohar is the most unprofessional, demeaning, and disrespectful person I have ever met. Considering I work at a major hospital right by her office, I thought it would be a great fit. Boy, was I sorely (literally) mistaken. I will never use Groupon with a clinic again just from the trauma I experienced at this office. Not only did the equipment break, she took care of family members and friends during my scheduled time, but instead of fixing the equipment, she coerced me into pre paying for other treatments that I medically would not benefit from and then refused to honor them after a certain amount of time had passed. She screwed up my vein treatment (photo added) and not only refused to fix it, refund me, but also took the rest of my credits I had for future Groupon vein treatment sessions. If you care about your body and self esteem, do not go to this person. She will also try to sell you her brother's book he published during the pandemic as if you don't spend enough in the visit alone. She even treats her staff horribly, so sad and very disappointing that someone like this can have their license to practice on vulnerable populations that don't know any better. Shame on you! read more

Kathy Gohar, MD - Groupon purchased vein treatment infection - Dermatologists Near Me - Beverly Hills, California

Wow! Dr. Kathy Gohar is above and beyond any physician in LA! Frankly, I though physician bedside manner was dead, but apparently Dr. Gohar is revitalizing it! I felt so special as she truly took the time to listen to my medical history, examine my skin, and asses the appropriate treatment regimen for my price range. I felt tremendously informed after I left, and most importantly RELAXED + REJUVENATED!!!!! She sent me home with a sweet bag of samples, and for the first time (after ten years of doctors' visits) a DIAGNOSIS! I've been to so many regular dermatologists who could not, or at least did not, tell me what my skin problem is. Thank you Dr. Kathy Gohar for explaining that I have Acne Rosacea. I've had lip injections and Botox twice in my life, so Dr. Kathy Gohar was my third experience. I appreciate how well she listened to my preference for conservative aesthetic augmentation. While she can do it all (big or subtle) she makes sure any injection is exactly what I want. My Botox looks great and so do my perfectly juicy, but not fake-looking-juicy lips! Lastly, I love the historic office building as it is the most adorable, refurbished, Beverley Hills brick-beauty with a fun cafe on the first floor that's reminiscent of the roaring 20s. Her individual office is super chic and the building is located in a really glamorous, central spot--parking available ! read more

Dr. Gohar helped me so much after my facial trauma. I was attacked and my face was fractured in multiple areas. She was able to gently make me feel better and whole again. I've been a regular client of hers for awhile now and would recommend her to everyone! Thank you for making me feel confident again. read more

Attentive caring surgeon with excellent bedside manners. She did esthetic work on my face (fillers and Botox), amazing job in restoring my youthful face. Looked so natural, no one noticed that I had work done, but everyone complemented my vibrant look . A friend told me , wow you look like you spent an entire day in a spa, you are glowing. I loved her work. I look like me but 15-20 years younger read more

I have had a few visits with Dr Gohar. I truly appreciate the level of professionalism and Saftey she exercised. She was also extremely knowledgeable and caring . Her work is flawless. I highly recommend her. read more

I had great experience at this location! Kathy has an excellent eye for symmetry and what is needed for a flawless look. Calm disposition and professional. Good recommendations not to mention the decor throughout the place is fresh and unique. Out of many medical spas/offices I've been to this falls on a short list of above average with #1 customer service, #2 skill/technique #3 location/area from which the initial# being surprising. read more

Dr. Gohar is full service and highly trained with years of experience. She takes the time to explain all of your options including the latest products and procedures available in the marketplace. Her prices are fair and when available, Dr. Gohar offers a promotional rate or discounts. There is very little room for error with cosmetic and laser procedures and she has a perfect track record with me - Recommend! read more

I just wanted to return on here and say that still after all of this time, the lasting effects of Dr. Gohar's negligence and lack of skill are visible on my legs. Please continue to scroll and see the multiple consistent reviews that match this one and then refrain from ever visiting this office. As a physician, you need to have a basic grasp of procedures and post op care when you proceed to do a procedure over and over on patients. And you would think she would stop advertising for this type of procedure when so many patients are having horrible results. I will be submitting a grievance about my case and the ways in which Dr. Gohar has wronged me physically. Please do yourself a favor and stay away. read more

I'm officially done with spas posing as experts. I decided to go to Dr Gohar after I saw how she treated my mother. She listens to your concerns and when she speaks, you know it's coming from a place of knowledge, expertise, and care. To Dr Gohar...I am so happy with this "targeted" approach to my overall plan. Just the subtle enhancements around my mouth, the way you did it is so amazing- subtly amazing I can REALLY tell when I'm talking and/or chewing. I feel so much more confident and we maintained that natural look! Also, I can already tell that you are so right about the approach we are taking with my left eye (asymmetry). Anyway, I hope you see this message and I look forward to my follow up in about a week. read more

Kathy was great she did my first time filler it looks amazing . She did a touch up too which most people don't do. She wanted me to be happy and I am. I definitely go to her again. read more

This was my second visit to Dr Gohar, in fact she's so great I travel from San Francisco to see her! She has unbelievable artistic skills and was able to artfully add fillers that not even my husband could tell what was done. After my first visit he even commented "you look really good" but he had no idea why, which I think is exactly what you want with cosmetic dermatology, a fresh and refreshed look without screaming "I've had things done" it's my little secret weapon to help me age gracefully. Her practice has a full surgery center, so she can help from head to toe to keep you looking your best! read more

A hugeeee thank you to Dr. Gohar for always making me look great Her amazing work never fails to impress me!

I've had fillers with Dr.Gohar, and found her to be knowledgeable, trustworthy, and honest. She wasn't pushy, and made sure that I left with natural looking results. read more

Oh Dr. Gohar what a huge disappointment. I was referred to Dr. Gohar by my fave lash lady and although I was skeptical to go see Dr. Gohar on a whim without taking the time to research her work, I trusted Gina's recommendation and went ahead to the neighboring cosmetic doctor to schedule an appointment and utilize a coupon ($75 off first treatment) Dr. Gohar had given Gina to distribute to her clientele. Well first off, I was surprised to see a young lady waiting for Dr. Gohar when I stepped into the office of Dr. G. Her assistant seemed a little unaware of Dr. Gohar's schedule and availability and left the client waiting for her scheduled services. As soon as Dr. Gohar walked in she beelined straight for me asking me what services I wanted totally neglecting her waiting client. I informed her of the services I was interested in an not only did Dr. Gohar gloss over my concerns, she encouraged me to step into her office to start my procedure of interest, despite my lack of appointment or consideration of the waiting client who I presume had an appointment previously scheduled for this time. I was resistant and fearful and told Dr. Gohar I had not been prepared to receive a treatment that day as I had never even considered the service until that morning. She assured me it would be manageable and convinced me to target multiple areas that I had no interest in working on, as she insisted I would need to target 2 additional areas on top of the 1 I had originally asked for. Well I am clearly a sucker because Dr. Gohar appears sweet and professional so I went with her advice against my better judgement. After the three treatments, I proceeded to the waiting room to pay for the services thinking it couldn't be more than a couple hundred dollars max. Yes, I knew Dr. Gohar had upsold me so inevitably it would cost more but seriously my final bill for a first time client with a $75 coupon was completely unreasonable! To my shock and utter disbelief Dr. Gohar not only upsold me to buy additional services I had no need for but proceeded to tell me after applying the coupon (mind you a coupon generated and distributed by Dr. Gohar) that I would have to pay a credit card fee. Seriously now, a CREDIT CARD FEE!? I have never met a doctor, let alone a doctor in Beverly Hills who charges an additional fee for credit cards! Hello, I thought only cheap nail salons and fast food joints charge added fees for credit cards, not a doctor overcharging for unnecessary services!? That's the moment I knew Dr. Gohar was a scammer. No honest doctor with an ounce of integrity or respect for her clients would slap on a credit card fee of $45+ to a new client without some sort of warning, notification, or signage acknowledging the additional credit card fee. Even the cheapest nail salons in low economic areas display signs and inform customers that the use of credit cards will require an additional fee. No one waits until after you order and hand over your credit card to slap on a upwards of $50 fee. Shady, shady, shady. Sorry Dr. Gohar, I wanted to love you. I wanted to like you and come back and make you my go to doctor, even call you "my doctor" and refer my friends and colleagues to you. However, your drive for more money at the expensive of good, honest customer service is unacceptable and I am afraid I will continue to have to look for "the one" aka a genuine doctor who sincerely cares for her patients and their satisfaction more than she cares to make a quick buck. Dr. Gohar, what you did was wrong. Please do something about it and restore my faith in honest medical providers driven by their desire to improve others not their desire to in debt others for personal profit. read more

Not only is Kathy an amazing doctor, she is also a great person and a lifesaver. We happened to be at the same event and when returning home to L.A. I left a very important book from the event on the plane from the first leg of the flight home. While Kathy and I had not met, she found the book and knew how important it was to me. She searched me out to the point that she literally almost missed the 2nd flight. She was the last one to board the plane--book in hand. The flight attendant found me; I got my book back and I am forever grateful! You are awesome, Dr. Kathy Gohar. read more

This place is a disaster. I made an appointment on Lifebooker for an IPL photo facial. Cut to 1.5 weeks later, I've been rescheduled 3 times. I complained to the receptionist and told him to cancel my appointment. Shortly after I got a call from Dr. Gohar apologizing profusely, and I really appreciated that gesture... Appointment back on! I get to my appointment scheduled for 6:00 p.m. about 10 til. Low and behold, the Dr. isn't in yet. Let's just say I wasn't seen until about 7 p.m. My IPL was less than average. I think she put it at the lowest setting so patients have to keep going back over and over, and over... and over. From my experience, IPL's can work great when cranked.... This was not that time. Instead I was up sold on bleaching creams and Fraxel Laser treatments, all of which I declined. She left me in the exam room for about 10 minutes while she chit chatted in the waiting room with waiting clients. Mind you I still have metal goggles strapped to my face so I can't see, and the IPL gel still slathered on my face (which was then starting to dry). I couldn't escape soon enough. Instead of this being a value, it was a total waste of time and money. I canceled the second appointment, and won't be back. The bright side is that Dr. Gohar seems very nice, and her place is clean and well kept. She gave me a bunch of little samples, and referral gift cards to hand out. read more

My friend recommended me to Dr Gohar for lip fillers! My lips were a little uneven and she completely fixed them and gave me that pout that I have been looking for! Very natural and exactly what I wanted. She was a pleasure to be around as well! read more

I brought a discount coupon from Beverly Hills Medi Spa for photo facial. Due to my skin condition I was not able to use my coupon before it expired. Since they would not extend the date I decided to let my husband use the service instead. I had photo facials before so I knew what to expect. I knew what the result of the process was supposed to be. We met Dr. Gohar. I asked her whether she should put some numbing cream on him first to ease any discomfort or pain since this is his first time, she said that would not be necessary. She told me I could join them in the room. During the entire process, Dr Gohar, was talking, trying to up-sell BOTH my husband and I, more services than what we came for. My husband told me afterwards it didn't hurt at all, hardly any sensation. No wonder. She used a very low setting, therefore generated no results at all, hoping that we would go back for more. He never got red, never had any of the after effects that I experienced with photofacials. I took him to my aethetician immediately to show her the result of his so call "photofacial", she confirmed .... it was a total waste of our money. We came away with the impression that she was not the type of doctor who has her patient's interest at heart. So needless to say, we will not be back. read more

I'm re-editing my review of Dr. Gohar. Here's the thing: I am very happy with my botox results. But I didn't find the experience entirely positive. Pros: she did a really good job at placing the desired amount of botox for the desired effect that I wanted, which was a lower number of units than what she wanted to do however I was clear that I wanted to be relaxed and not frozen. This was achieved and I'm happy with the results. If you are researching her for this procedure you can rest assured that she is skilled. Cons: I did not like how she approached me. I did not like that she did not say, first and foremost: what are you concerned about in your face? How can I help you? What is it that you are looking to achieve. She asked if I was there for botox, I said yes: forehead. She asked me to sit in her treatment chair and hold a mirror so she could evaluate my face/skin. I felt this was more akin to telling me all the things wrong with my face that I could fix. I thought I was clear that I wanted a small amount of botox in order to relax forehead muscles, not freeze. I did not like how she approached me and unfortunately I find this with a lot of doctors here in LA. There is a real arrogance at times that they know the absolute one answer and that there way is BEST. When the fact is, there are many answers AND there are many of us patients who know our bodies and skin very well and it would be nice if doctors approached patients as if they were working together with us: a team effort. But i digress. Dr. Gohar did a good job in the end. I just didn't entirely enjoy how she spoke to me. read more

I bought an IPL session on groupon for my husband and myself. My husband has gotten IPL done twice from his dermatologist and I got it done once from another groupon purchase in Encino. With my first IPL experience in encino, the doctor and his assistant were very thorough. They applied numbing cream on my face and blew cold air to lessen the pain. It hurt a bit but was bearable. The doctor went over my face a few times. Immediately after the session, my face felt slightly sunburnt. And within hours, I could see the "coffee grounds" appearing. Everything that was supposed to happen happened. So now to Kathy Gobar's IPL session... Kathy did not do the IPL. Her assistant did. No numbing cream was used. But then again, the assistant did it at such a low setting that I probably wouldn't have needed it. She only hit a few spots on my face and did not go over my whole face. My face looks EXACTLY the same as before. There is no evidence that I got any IPL done on my face. My husband also felt like his IPL session was weak. It was honestly a waste of my money and time. On another note, Kathy and her assistant are really nice. Kathy did spend most of her time trying to sell us her other services but I expected that. I just wish they did a better job on my IPL. It's been 36 hours since I got it done and I see absolutely no difference. **i wouldn't buy an IPL groupon from them again. It's just not worth the money. read more

My mother and I have been using to Dr. Gohar and her services for two years now and she has always been amazing. She has completely transformed my mother's skin and she really cares about her patients. She is easily accessible and more importantly, ensures comfort and satisfaction with her products and services. When dealing with sensitive skin, it is important to have someone experienced that will recommend the right treatment. My skin looks great and I recommend her to all my friends and family. read more

Dr. Gohar is amazing. I had an IPL and loved it so much I went back for Juvederm and Radiesse. Dr. Gohar answers every question and really cares about her patients. The end result was amazing. My friends can tell I look different but have no idea that I had anything done. Honey and Talisa (sp?) are also lovely and warm. Honey took me upstairs and cleaned my face before my IPL and it was so relaxing, I can't wait to go back for a total facial. I will absolutely go back for future treatments. I trust their office for everything. Thanks for everything Dr. Gohar!!! read more

EXCELLENT work along with an even better personality and character!! Also Kathy does her very best to make sure you are happy with your results. I'll definitely return as my needs arise. read more

I am pretty happy with Kathy- she is possible to work with pricing and over all scheduling. I am happy with services too. Nothing really to complain about. I came because of Groupon too and was offered a lot of other stuff I keep doing ones in a while at her office. That is a very honest review. read more

I absolutely loooved my experience here! Dakota is such a sweetheart and made it so comfortable for me and was very informative. Every visit was like visiting a friend I would highly recommend Dr.Gohar! Go see Dakota! :) read more

I started researching Velashape and I found Dr. Gohar on Groupon. I called her office and Dakota answered the phone and was so professional and welcoming, they managed to get an appointment for me in the same week! When I went to the office for my first visit, not only was it so clean and beautiful, I was welcomed by Dr. Gohar and Dakota. Dr. Gohar explained everything to me in detail and answered all of my questions, I felt so comfortable starting my treatment. During the duration of the treatment, Dakota made sure that I was always comfortable and she was so great to talk to. After my first treatment they were able to book the rest of my appointments to make sure that I did miss a week and could do 6 appointments in a row! I am so excited to see my results in the next 6 weeks. This is motivating to keep up with my diet and exercise so I can achieve the best results! I highly recommend Dr. Gohar's office! read more

Another update! I had a laser procedure on my face done by Dr. Gohar called Fraxel. My face has changed 100%. My old skin has shed and new skin has resurfaced and it looks so amazing. Dr. Gohar's bedside manner is so amazing, while she was doing this she kept making sure I was okay and not in pain (there was no pain, she made sure my face was numb completely before doing the procedure). I have been complimented on my face many times. One of my clients at work even told me "I used to feel so bad for you before! Now your face looks so amazing!" It really has changed that much since I first started coming here. From cystic acne to a completely clear face. read more

I found Dr. Gohar through one of those online coupon deals. I thought I had only purchased an IPL treatment because the price was so great. I was surprised by a relaxing and gentle facial cleansing and hydration treatment by Annette prior to the IPL. While in Annette and Dr. Gohar's care, I felt like my skin was assessed honestly and that unlike many places, they explained the different treatments available for my stress related acne and the pros and cons of each. Dr. Gohar and Annette were both kind and pleasant to be around and I even left with a couple free gifts and several gift certificates for reduced price treatments in the future. IPL treatments do not feel good when you're getting them, but the results I received at this office were noticeable within a couple hours and I am looking forward to seeing them again. read more

I was referred by a friend who told me to go see Dr. Gohar for all my clinical facial needs. She is the real deal. I loved her services that ranged of things I needed done on my face.

Thank you Dr. Kathy, Honey and Jen! read more

I have been getting botox for the last 6 years. The Drs. I have been to are ok. My experience with Dr. Gohar was excellent! She really makes sure you are comfortable and her bedside manner is really relaxing. I loved her more understated approach.

The prices here also very reasonable. read more

I went to Dr. Gohar for laser hair removal and I am already seeing a huge difference. She spent a lot of time walking me through the process and explaining all of my options.

Dr. Kathy Gohar is pleasant to be with and knows how to help you. Especially those who have darker skin like me. She offers a variety of quality products and her prices are reasonable. She can handle anything from minor treatments to skin surgery. I have had some positive results using fotofacial. The challenge is following her instructions for someone like me. Bring your notepad and take notes. If you don't do what she recommends, it could lead some bad consequences. I will continue to visit her and I only expect excellent results. As a patient, we just have to be "patient" for results. I recommend making an appointment, go shopping while you wait and enjoy the company. Her clients are very pleasant to chat with. She knows how to help people look natural and that's important to me. The sun damages our skin and takes away youthfulness. She can help you take care of your skin to prevent damage and disease. Just listen to her advice. If you are not satisfied about something, just tell her. read more

How many times have you gone to a laser / cosmetic surgery center where the doctor spends more than 15 min with you?? Dr Gohar, MD actually did the entire IPL procedure on me by herself!!! That is not including the time and care her assistant spent with me!! Dr Gohar's expertise, nurturing manner and the expensive (real) laser machines are not the only reason why my IPL experience far exceeded compared to my other laser experiences!!! Her office cares about your outcome and the entire staff are dedicated to make you look and feel beautiful. I have been doing IPL, fraxel and other treatments to retain my vanity for the past decade. I came to Dr Gohar because of a LivingSocial special. I am truly impressed by the care she took to increase the success of a simple IPL procedure. Her office is the first one out of dozens I visited to actually have a separate spa room, where her assistant took time and care to clean and hydrate my face to improve the effect of the laser on my face!! I checked out her laser machines and Dr Gohar actually use well know brand name laser machines, where the results are well published and proven!!! Dr Gohar is knowledgeable, honest and pleasant! She offers honest methods to care for my skins, some of her advise has nothing to increases her revenue! I want all others like me who visit many clinics trying to maintain beauty to know about her practice! read more

I went to another doctor from Groupon. Then I went to Dr. Gohar with Groupon. The difference in results is night and day. He left me with results that were bumpy and obvious with Juvederm. Dr. Gohar has a gift. Sure, I did have to wait past the time my appt was scheduled. I heard her being friendly with a patient. So much of our time is spent rushing here and there. Stop running around like a chicken with its head cut off and take a few hours for yourself. You probably can go to a place that can service you faster, but the results might not be as good. read more
