I struggled with psoriasis for years--fleeting improvements followed by stubborn flares that…read moreaffected my confidence and daily life. After trying countless treatments, I finally found a routine that cleared my skin and restored my sense of normalcy. Within weeks I noticed real improvement: redness and scaling reduced, itching subsided, and the plaques began to fade. Over a few months my skin healed noticeably; areas I'd covered for years became smooth and healthy again. The physical relief was matched by a big emotional lift--no more hiding, less anxiety, and more comfort wearing short sleeves and swimwear. What helped most was a consistent, evidence-based approach tailored to my needs, plus realistic expectations and patience. If you're tired of temporary fixes, keep advocating for yourself with your provider and try treatments long enough to work. Clearing my psoriasis changed my life--more comfort, confidence, and freedom to live without constant flare worry. Thank you Dr.Chang!

I set up my first appointment and waited several months to meet with her. She was very warm and cordial in-person. She didn't take a particularly close look at my skin, but did listen attentively to my concerns. Months later I developed a horrendous, painful, swollen rash all over my face. It lasted for weeks. It woke me up at night and caused distraction all day. I had a call with Dr. Takahashi's triage team and they deemed my situation "not urgent." They offered me an appointment OVER THREE MONTHS OUT. Dr. Takahashi and her practice are unable to give meaningful care to the people who need it. I can't believe it is right or ethical to ask someone to live with the kind of pain I was experiencing for months before seeing me. Fortunately I was able to see my boss's dermatologist in Beverly Hills and he had the rash cleared up within two weeks.

This is the worst clinical/office operation I have come across. I have yet to see the the doctor so…read moreI cannot speak on how Dr. Takahashi is as a physician. I called to make an appointment for my daughter in July 2022 (when she was 4 months old). The earliest appointment they had for new patients was for December 30th (5 months later). I understand peds dermatology is a very sub speciality and it takes a long time to get into offices. Fine, I took the appointment. Fast forward to Dec 28, I haven't heard from them regarding confirming anything so I called to make sure we were still on their calendar. The lady on the phone informs me our appointment has been canceled! No phone calls, no follow up, just canceled. After being very annoyed, I asked to reschedule. Apparently the earliest available was June 2023. That is ridiculous! So I ask to speak to a manager and of course manager is busy, and says she will pass on my message. I call again after the new years because no one has returned my call. I had to explain everything all over again to a new person. 2 days later, I receive a phone call from the doctor's nurse asking to clarify the situation. It's January 10, 2023 and I receive a phone call from the manager saying someone else from scheduling will call me to schedule a new appointment as soon as possible. What is going on in this office?? I am beyond angry and frustrated at the level of negligence in scheduling and managing an office. I'm being told to wait ONE YEAR for a basic dermatology appointment?? Who in their right minds thinks this is ok? There is zero care from this office to rectify this situation. And if this is how the office staff treats their patients, I don't need my daughter going to this clinic. There are plenty of great doctors in the area with better office staff.

Why should I have to spend money to pay a bill in which I'm already spending money??!! Spent 14 dollars on a pack of stamps I'll never use. 3. You can't leave voicemails when you call them. Probably because people complain about how old fashioned this stupid practice is. 4. Oh and on top of that the wart on my finger came back two weeks later. Spent my bill and then some and their treatment didn't work. I'm absolutely miffed. this establishment can fuck right offfffff

Afterwards, I was helped by Zack into the doctor's room. He was very kind, making an intimidating visit a lot more comfortable. When I finally saw Dr. Nguyen, she was able to answer many of my questions and my time with her felt very thorough.

That same day, I was able to go down the street to Verdugo where I was able to get my labs done (and had an equally great experience w/ the staff there).

I love love LOVE this dermatology center!…read more I have been going here for maybe about two years now and all I can say it's been the BEST decision I've made for my skin! I saw 2 dermatologists before seeing Tammy. They both told me I needed to go on Acutane - but after seeing some friends/family members on it I truly felt like my skin didn't need a solution as intense as that. I decided to try one more location/derm to get a 3rd opinion. Without Acutane (or any intense or invasive procedures) Tammy and Shakeh have TRANSFORMED my skin!!! Perks: - they are very flexible with appointments - Tammy is extremely kind, thoughtful and knowledgeable. I appreciated her kind words and guidance while I was dealing with my acne. She truly listened to my concerns and has been extremely supportive during my entire journey. - Shakeh is just as amazing! I see her for facials every month and she does miracles! The facials I receive are the ones where she just really gets the "gunk" out - which is exactly what I want. My skin has never felt so smooth. All of that to say, it's not a very "relaxing" facial (which I'm sure she can do) but for me I want to leave with really smooth my skin and that's exactly what she does. No other esthetician has done work like her!!! - parking is always available (and it's FREE) - they have taken my multiple insurance plans - front desk/receptionists are always kind whenever I'm running late or need to reschedule. Shoutout to Giselle!!! - the assistants are also kind too, I can't remember all of their names but the last one I met with was Nayra and she was super sweet and helpful! Honestly if I could give this location 10 stars I totally would - I actually found this center on Yelp!!!

However just yesterday I got a bill of $800 listing all of the backlog of charges over the past 2 years. There wasn't any transparency that eg a nurse call to get a sick note would lead to a $225 charge.

I've never had this NOT included as part of my free physical anywhere else, unless I'll expect a bill from previous providers similarly years after the fact. And when I tried getting some clarity about this with the billing department, I kept getting cut off and it seemed clear she was trying to rush me off the phone. Very disappointed
