Dr James Yen Wang is energetic, friendly and highly knowledgeable. He listened intently and addressed all of my concerns. His information was thoughtful and precise, unlike other dermatologists I have visited, who responded to my questions with little thought to my concerns. Would definitely recommend him. read more

I've been coming here since April 30, 2025, and I honestly can't say enough good things. I first came 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. read more

See all

The front desk experience was extremely disappointing. 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. read more

Knowledgeable Good listener Well educated dermatologist! Recommend. Some issues making appointments since phone goes to voicemail..had to call several times read more

Yet another great experience with Metropolis! Can't say enough about this group. Just went in for a somewhat emergency skin surgery and it was pain free and precise. I highly recommend this business. read more

I never ever ever fight write reviews cuz i'm not about that life but...... I felt compelled to right one about Metropolis dermatology. I've been coming to this location and the one in Brentwood for a year or two now and this is one of the best businesses I've gone to in socal in any category of business. all the staff are super friendly down and down to earth beautiful people. P.A. Wu is an absolute goddess!! she is so sweet and knowledgeable and friendly. i literally feel like family here. Two thumbs up and a big smile when coming here! read more

Metropolis Dermatology - yours truly waiting for his appointment lol - Dermatologists Near Me - Costa Mesa, California

From the moment you walk in, this place is great. Friendly staff and Dr. Kleinfelder is amazing! He was kind, listened carefully, and took the time to explain. read more

I don't know what to say - it almost feels wrong leaving a 3 star review for a business that's flooded with 5 stars straight across the board, but unfortunately, I feel like I need to share my experience. Booking the appointment was easy and simple. I love the convenience of not having to get on the phone with anyone, and just booking directly on their website. Walking in, the facility is clean and absolutely beautiful - you want to be there. I'm a cash paying client coming for a medical visit - I was told the consultation fee is $170 when on their website they've listed $105 for medical and $170 for cosmetic. After bringing it up to her attention, the front desk agent apologized and said she didn't know what I was talking about, proceeded to ask me if I still wanted to go through with the appointment. I agreed to move forward. After showing them their own website page, they spoke to management and honored the $105 fee. Which was appreciated, but still seemed a little questionable considering how their website advertises one thing but they charge something else upon check in. Trying not to let this deter me, I waited patiently for my appointment which was supposed to be at 4:10. I got called in at 4:22 and didn't actually get seen by the PA-C til 4:45 (and they close at 5) JinLi was professional, knowledgable, and really easy to speak to. She listened to my concerns and offered a variety of treatments options. The appointment did seem a little rushed though - I don't know if it was because they were closing or I was asking too many questions, but something felt off. JinLi and her attendant told me my prescriptions would be sent to the pharmacy, the lab order would also be sent in, packed me a bag of samples and sent me on my way. The next day (today), I'm trying to contact them because no lab order or prescriptions were sent in, and getting in touch with them has been just repeated automated messages of "we'll get back to you" JinLi is the reason this place even gets 3 stars from me and the reason I would consider returning. read more

I tried to contact them to book an appointment, but they are inappropriate and unprofessional. My line was disconnected while I was talking to the front desk. When I called back, the other worker made no attempt to fix the issue and did not care at all read more

Love that I was able to make an appointment online without having to pick up the phone. The patient onboarding process was very streamlined and forms are via touchpad. The facility is clean, bright, beautiful, and large enough that it will never seem crowded. They were running behind when I had my appointment, but PA JinLi Wu was friendly, knowledgeable, and just all kinds of awesome. read more

Beautiful facility. Friendly and courteous staff- (hard to come by nowadays) I didn't have to wait long to be seen. I was seen by PA-C, Eva Hernandez. She was so nice and made me feel comfortable. We went over some of my concerns and she prescribed me some cream and so far it's been working. read more

I went to the Metropolis location in Pasadena and was hoping this location would be just as great and it was. It is clean and bright, and the providers are amazing. Professional and great bedside manner. read more

It's almost a month since my procedure to remove my sebaceous hyperplasia and I am so happy about the results. It's pretty much gone. I had several removed which have healed. One is still a very light pink but barely noticeable. I highly recommend anyone who has this problem to go to Metropolis Dermatology and have it removed. Such great results! read more

Had to get a lump checked out. It's not a tumor! Picked the fanciest place I could find that would bill my insurance. This office is beautiful with a really cool view. Everyone was so friendly. The most welcoming doctor's office I have ever seen. Was in and out super quick, the doctor was super helpful and helped calm me down. I'm going to come back here and ask them to make my skin pretty. read more

I can't thank Metropolis Dermatology enough for everything I have experienced. Starting with their top notch customer service from the staff and medical team. Coming here has made me realized how other offices have never listened to me like Metropolis Dermatology, they are attentive, knowledgeable and so helpful when it comes to all my questions and needs. The space is so clean and spacious, makes me feel so relaxed. Definitely worth coming back too ! read more

This is my very 1st time going to Metropolis Dermatology. It was an incredible experience. The office is very clean, has top of the line equipment, and the office staff are very friendly. Most of all thank you so much EVA P.A. for explaining everything in details, what to expect during and after my 1st botox treatment. Eva is so friendly and extremely knowledgeable in this field. She answered all my many questions about botox and skin issues. It makes me comfortable that I'm working with someone who is experienced doing this! I highly recommend going to EVA for all your dermatology needs. You will be very impressed with her experience and knowledge. I'm so pleased with how my skin looks and feel. I will definitely be coming back to Metropolis Dermatology and to Eva PA. read more

Found this place through Zocdoc because of my Eczema that was getting out of hand. Turned out to be one of the best decisions I've ever made!!! Dr. Jinli was a huge life saver and help with all my issues. She answered all of my questions thoroughly and was able to get rid of my eczema in a matter of days. Also gave me tons of useful advice and free samples, if I ever had any skin condition, she's the one I'd go to any day! The receptionists and assistants are super helpful as well, assisted me and checked me in the moment I got out of the elevator. Please go to this clinic you won't regret it!!! read more

Dr. Wang and his team are the best. Have seen him whenever I need something looked out - acne, eczema, the latest in technology over the past 10 years. Will follow him anywhere! read more

I am so happy I found Metropolis Dermatology! The office is extremely nice and when I met JinLi she made me feel very comfortable and welcomed right away. I have been having skin issues for some time now and recently experiencing a lot of hormonal breakouts. JinLi is SO knowledgeable and went over different causes for the breakouts and how to best tackle it. I went in to my appointment stressed about my skin but left feeling like we had a good plan of action. At first my skin was starting to look a little better but when i expressed my concerns to JinLi, she re-evaluated my skin and came up with some new options (which have already made a big difference!). JinLi is so kind and smart. I truly trust her with my skin (and i don't say that lightly!) read more

Jinli is truly the best! I drive all the way from LA just to see her and would go anywhere she goes. I have done a few services with her and everything looks amazing every time. I went to two other injectors for filler before I met Jinli and it never looked as good nor lasted as long. She always achieves exactly what I want and is always very patient and detailed. She is the sweetest and really cares about her patients. It's hard to find someone as good as Jinli and I fully trust her! read more

I'm so happy my friend recommended JinLi to me. She was able to fill up my lips and add definition while still making them look natural. I've been to a few injectors and she far surpasses any of them. Highly recommend!! read more

I don't usually leave reviews but, with the level of genuine care and knowledge that JinLi Wu brings to every appointment, I believe she deserves a shoutout! I am a huge fan of skincare, always have been, and am so incredibly pleased to have found Metropolis Dermatology and JinLi Wu. I drive from Thousand Oaks to Brentwood in order to continue seeing her specifically because of the level of knowledge, thoroughness and thoughtfulness she brings to every appointment. JinLi Wu is incredibly authentic in the way that she actively listens to you and competently recommends the most effective treatments and skincare products to get you to the healthiest skin of your life. After my first visit, I stopped buying unnecessary expensive products and invested instead in everything JinLi recommended. As a result, I can honestly say my skin has been transformed for the better and I spend so much less on products. I have also received multiple compliments that my skin is glowing and can attribute that directly to JinLi and her caring dedication. My skin is hydrated, smooth and blemish free. I am so grateful for JinLi and cannot recommend her enough to anyone and everyone. Thank you, JinLi! read more

Karla is the sweetest! She gave me a facial today and was super attentive to my skin concerns and made sure I had the resources and knowledge I need to properly care for my skin. I'm so grateful and am eager to be back! read more

Eva is outstanding! I have had only two visits at her office thus far and my experience has been great. Her medical assistants are very sweet and friendly and have always been able to help answer my questions. I truly felt that I received highest level of care without being rushed and all my issues are addressed. Super happy with the results so I highly recommend this place for all your dermatology consultations. read more

Metropolis Dermatology is the best Dermatology office (I have been to several). It has a spa-like feel, beautiful decor and friendly staff. Dr. Wang is a Harvard trained Dermatologist that truly cares about his patients. He took the time to listen to my concerns. I have been suffering from adult acne and rosacea for years. I was put on a skin care regimen that cleared both my acne and rosacea. My skin looks so good. I couldn't be happier! I look forward to my acne facials every month. Thank you Metropolis Dermatology! read more

I really loved this place It's so pretty inside, and I'm usually too shy to ask questions but the staff was very nice so I didn't feel so bad about asking so many questions hehe, but I would definitely recommend!! read more

The staff is very friendly and make you feel comfortable. The office is very clean and a wide variety of skin care options

I've been seeing Eva Hernandez since before I could remember in Valencia and was SO sad when I called to make an appointment a few years ago and was told she was no longer there. Thank goodness I looked her up recently and found her here!! Eva is the best dermatologist I've ever been to. She cares about her patients and is so knowledgeable on every minor skin problem I bring to her. I will follow Eva no matter where she goes :] I also wanted to give kudos to the warm and friendly front desk staff, who helped set me up when I arrived late due to traffic and send me on my way with everything I needed. This office is absolutely stunning and the people inside make it even more worth it! I couldn't recommend this place more! read more

Could not recommend Dr. Wang and his staff enough! Dr. Wang is extremely personable, patient, and not to mention his office is beautiful. I saw Dr. Wang for psoriasis and he went through numerous treatment options with me and answered any questions I had. Highly recommend Dr. Wang, Eva, or Jinli and you'll be in great hands! read more

Eva is fantastic! Her extensive experience shows. She carefully explained all my treatment options and didn't rush my visit. She is a great listener and truly tries to come up with a plan that works with your life, budget, etc. After seeing multiple other MDs and PAs, I finally found a great fit!! I highly recommend her and her wonderful team of assistants! read more

Beautiful location and a 5 star staff. They were attentive to me upon my arrival and I was treated to complimentary drinks while I waited.

This place is immaculate! I've been to plenty dermatology offices over the past 15-20 years and this absolutely the best. Staff is super friendly, very welcoming, and really take their time with each patient. Dr. Wang is one of the best dermatologists I've ever met! If I could give 6 stars I would read more

Jinli is truly the best! She is consistent in her work & takes the necessary time to assess my skin, informing me every step of the way. I love how she does not generalize my concerns, she patiently listens and advises the best treatment plan for long lasting results. She has an artistic approach for aesthetic care & she is very precise when it comes to medical treatment. I trust Jinli to ensure that my skin is smooth, healthy, and always has a natural glow! read more
