Got my ear keloid removed here. My ear lobe was saved after I was told at Kaiser that I would need to have it cut off to get rid of my ear keloid! Thank you OC MedDerm! read more

My experience with doctor Shafa was excellent. Dr. Shafa is a very knowledgably doctor and a great human being. I accompanied my son see the doctor because his skin had lots of small red and pink scaly patches. The doctor immediately identify the skin issue and explained to us different methods of treatment. I have been very worried about the condition of my son's skin. I left the doctors office with a lot of hope. I really recommend and encourage to visit OC Derm for any skin issues. Maria read more

AMAZING EXPERIENCE!!!!! Cannot recommend them enough. Doctor was very knowledgable & willing to answer all of my questions. They made me feel so comfortable after experiencing something so traumatic (for me) & the Dr even went out of her way to help me w/my situation given my circumstances. I already feel so much better & not in as much pain & will DEFINITELY be returning to continue treatment. CANNOT RECOMMEND ENOUGH!!!!! read more

I'm so so so glad I found OC Med Derm post op! I had a rhinoplasty and philtrum lift and needed steroid shots to prevent keloids. It was so hard to find a place that offered it, so I'm really grateful. I also got steroid shots from a pressure ulcer under my chin from wearing my head wrap too tightly post double chin op. They also used a plasma laser to get rid of keloids on my eyelids from a double eyelid surgery and to get rid of scarring from my rhinoplasty stitches. Genuinely so god sent here. read more

I had a great experience here! They took care of my alopecia on top of my head and was careful with the injections. I had a huge bald spot and came once a month for 4 months and my hair came back. Was a nice and clean facility/office as well. Highly recommend!! read more

Great experience at OC MedDerm with Dr. Shafa. From the moment I walked in the receptionist welcomed me and introduced me to Dr Shafa. Dr Shafa is an incredibly attentive listener who takes the time to understand your concerns fully. What impressed me most was how she explained every detail of my treatment plan clearly, ensuring I felt comfortable and informed. Her recommendations were tailored to my needs. I highly recommend Dr. Shafa to anyone looking for work done. read more

I had two quarter-sized chronic cysts on the back of my neck for several years that would get repeatedly infected and lanced. I decided to remove it once and for all. Luckily I found Dr Shafa. Office experience was professional and timely. On the same day of consultation, she performed the procedure and removed them. No run around with antibiotics or lancing, she got straight to the point which I found refreshing. She was very kind and projected a confidence that that she could completely remove them with "100% satisfaction." The procedure was quick and painless which is a testament to her excellent surgical skills. She isn't an urgent care hack. The results were cosmetically outstanding. Highly recommend for minor cyst removals if you want them done properly. A++ read more

I'm so incredibly thankful for Dr. Shafa. I developed a very painful infection on my foot after getting a pedicure at a nail salon, and it was honestly unbearable. Dr. Shafa quickly identified the root of the issue and treated it effectively. my pain was gone so much faster than I expected. Before coming here, I went to another office and unfortunately they just tried to upsell me on creams without actually addressing what was causing the problem. The difference in care here was night and day. Dr. Shafa was knowledgeable, thorough, and truly focused on fixing the issue rather than masking it. I finally felt heard and properly taken care of. I genuinely trust only coming here! Highly recommend! read more

Xanthelasma removal review: I had xanthelasma near my right eye. It didn't bother me much until my niece pointed at my eye and asked what it was. I told her it was fat. I went to Kaiser Permanente Dermatology and the doctor burned it. The procedure was not covered by insurance, because it was a cosmetic procedure. It only took off the top layer, and I believe my xanthelasma grew bigger when it healed. I then found Dr. Parvin Shafa at OC MedDerm. She had videos and photographs on her website that showed great results for xanthelasma removal. I called the office and was able to get a price estimate over the phone after I sent photographs of the xanthelasma. I went to the office and had my fat deposit surgically removed. The only pain was was from the local anesthetic injected around the surgical area. Dr. Parvin Shafa cut out the xanthelasma. The area was stitched and patched up. My Results: Perfection. No noticeable scars. No residual pain. No signs of xanthelasma. For me, total healing time was approximately five months. The eye area looked great after the stitches were removed. The rest of the healing time was for the scar tissue and residual tender contact pain. The surgery is truly unnoticeable to people after the removal of the stitches (seven days). The following pictures shows the evolution of the eye. I was afraid of my skin being pulled during the stitching, but it looked normal later. The eye area looked great after the removal of the stitches. During the following weeks after the removal, the scar was prominent (white). I was afraid that scar was permanent but Dr. Shafa assured me it was going to fade over time. After a couple of more weeks, it became less noticeable. When I rubbed that eye, I felt the scar and slight tenderness. By the fifth month, that was all gone. Process/Visits: (1) Consultation over the phone, (2) In person visit for consultation and I proceeded with the procedure, (3) Stitch removal, and (4) Final check up If you need a xanthelasma removal doctor, go to OC MedDerm and have Dr. Shafa work on you. read more

I truly can't say enough wonderful things about Dr. Shafa at OC Med Derm. I initially sought out her CO2 laser treatments to address acne scars, but the results went far beyond what I ever expected. Not only did my scars improve dramatically, but my fine line wrinkles softened, my skin texture transformed, and my overall complexion looks radiant and refreshed. I constantly receive compliments on my skin and am always asked what I've done. The results have been so exceptional that I continue to come back for the same CO2 laser procedure. I've been seeing Dr. Shafa for years and trust her completely with my skin. I even make the long trek from Los Angeles to Orange County just to see her -- and it is absolutely worth it every single time. Dr. Shafa is incredibly skilled, thoughtful, and professional, and her staff reflects that same level of care and excellence. The office feels welcoming, polished, and genuinely patient-focused. OC Med Derm delivers a consistently high-end experience with results that speak for themselves. If you're looking for transformative results and a provider you can trust long-term, Dr. Shafa is truly unmatched. read more

I am a tennis player and spend many hours under the sun. I developed a discoloration on my nose. It wasn't very comfortable to hang out in public with that. A good friend referred me to Dr Shafa. I still cannot believe she removed the dark skin within 1/2 an hour and never came back. She has a miracle touch Al read more

Very efficient and accommodating with your needs! Amazing and very kind doctor and team

Dr. Shafa is exceptional -- knowledgeable, kind, and truly attentive. She creates a welcoming environment, and her team is just as professional and friendly. Every visit is smooth, efficient, and reassuring. I highly recommend her and her wonderful staff! read more

Mole removal from crease/corner of nostril. Went great -- result is a 10/10! I would return for removal of any skin growths in the future.

Doctor Shafa is excellent and a perfectionist which is what you want in a dermatologist. She even does scar revision with perfect results. Often she'll even say free touch up right after performing the procedure. Having been to at least 3-5 dermatologists. I view her as doctor's doctor. read more

I recently saw Dr. Shafa for an impacted cyst on my chest, and once again, I had an outstanding experience. I had been to her before for a mole removal on my forehead--which was quick, painless, and healed so well it's like the mole was never even there. That experience gave me the confidence to come back to her for this cyst, especially because I was worried about scarring. She handled the situation with the same level of care, precision, and professionalism I remembered. I really appreciate how efficient and straightforward she is during procedures. read more

I have known Dr. Shafa for over 10 years. This will be my 2 session of C02 laser and I wouldn't trust anyone else to do it. I have already seen an improvement in my deep acne scars and I can't wait to see the full results after a couple more treatments. If you suffer from acne scars do yourself favor and do the C02 laser with Dr. Shafa. read more

I went to OC MedDerm for a lump removal on my head & they did an absolutely brilliant job. On short notice, my doctor did the procedure thorough & fast. The cut & stitching were artfully considered. My doctor is gifted in her work, a master of her craft & her bedside manner was impeccable. I felt really cared for every step of the way here. The results have far exceeded expectations. This was my fifth procedure of the sort, this lump was by far the biggest and most complicated of them all, and out of all my surgeries this was done with the most precision. For the top tier quality of work, the pricing was very reasonable too. OC MedDerm truly saved me & I'm infinitely grateful to them. If you have a similar issue, I would highly recommend them! read more

I had a large cyst on my back. It'd been there for years and I ignored it because it didn't hurt. Well, one day I woke up and it hurt and had swollen substantially. I won't go into more detail, but it was a problem. Middle of the day I called my wife from work and told her I either needed to go to urgent care or I needed a miracle fast appointment at a dermatologist. Well, OC Med Derm and Dr. Shafa are miracle makers. Miracle 1, they squeezed me in with a next day appointment (amazing!). Miracle 2 they saw me quickly, without a long wait in the front room. Miracle 3, they diagnosed me quickly and were up front about all the costs. Miracle 4, they were right in line and even slightly under what Chat GPT/Grok told me I should expect it to cost. Miracle 5, they almost immediately brought me back, and did the procedure, same appointment! Miracle 6, I needed a few follow up appoints all of which have been fast just like the first one! If you need a dermatologist, I can strongly recommend OC Med Derm and Dr. Shafa. They'll come through for you quickly, politely and at a fair price. Give them a call with that mole, cyst or whatever that you KNOW should be a checked out--don't be dumb like me and let that thing go until it's a problem! read more

Great care from team, fast and easy process. Dr shafa made the process smooth. Would recommend. read more

About 12 years ago, I came to see Dr Shafa for a mole removal on my face. She was so kind, gentle, and thorough in her care. I was worried about having a scar since I'd had other moles removed on my body that left marks. She is so skilled and professional that even years later, I still have no scarring. I recently brought my daughter in to see her as well, for mole removal, because I know Dr Shafa can be trusted to do the best work. read more

The staff were friendly and professional, and the doctor explained every step clearly, making me feel completely at ease. The procedure was quick and virtually painless, and my ear is healing really well. read more

Before finding Dr Shafa, I went to three consultations with different Dr's for an ear keloid removal. I had previously had a mole removed (upper helix) and a keloid developed. It grew rather large in two years time, was painful and depressing to me. Dr Shafa was confident she could help me. Dr Shafa kept the curvature of my upper ear and I couldn't be happier with the results. She is an AMAZING surgeon! She is highly skilled and kind as well. Keloids are known to return and she has treatment plans to help going forward if so. Her staff is wonderful too. Look no further...I highly recommend OC Med Derm! read more

I called to have a large skin abscess drained and the office was happy to schedule me with no problem but was unsure about whether the doctor could do the actual procedure same day. I drove from Corona and waited an hour to be seen. The doctor said the abscess was so large and uncomfortable (it was on my bottom and I couldn't sit) that she would drain it same day but I would have to wait. As I was waiting (im still here now), another woman came to notify me that if I wait longer (no exact time given), that the doctor is willing to stay "over time" and perform the procedure for an out of pocket cost of $495. She said although my deductible is paid and my out of pocket is fulfilled (I have ppo), they cannot run my insurance because they have met their quota of insurance patients for the day - so if I would like the procedure done today, I would need to pay out of pocket. If I agree to come back another day, they can run my insurance so I don't have to pay out of pocket. I have a 5month old baby who is medically unstable and has a surgery in two days and another toddler at home - the reason I needed the procedure done is because I will be in the hospital inpatient this week for my baby's surgery, like I told the staff and doctor, and I can barley sit. They were not sympathetic at all and said "it's my choice" - I could either pay out of pocket to have the procedure performed day of or come back so they can run my insurance (is that legal - could someone let me know)? Anyway, I wasted my entire day and left two babies at home to get this done and apparently can't unless unless I pay out of pocket. Super shady, irresponsible, and unprofessional. I'm so disappointed. I was excited to support an Iranian woman and doctor and feel so let down. read more

I would've gave this business 5 stars but going here since September and spending $500 I still have a bald spot and then I get a huge bill from Pacific Medical Laboratories when Dr Safia said that it wouldn't cost much to get my labs done. I got labs done in October and now I'm getting a bill from that one star review lab for $200 not only did not get to complete my alopecia treatment but I was stuck paying $200 for a bill that should've been taken care of with my insurance and properly coded. Will not come back here ever. Wasted $200 and still have a small dime sized bald spot! read more

OC MEdDerm is it's a place where compassion and expertise come together in the most beautiful way. From the moment I arrived, I felt surrounded by warmth and genuine kindness. The doctor's calm confidence and deep knowledge instantly put my mind at ease, while the entire team treated me not just as a patient, but as someone truly valued and cared for. I left not only grateful for the results, but profoundly moved by the experience itself. It's rare to encounter such highly experience, and heartfelt care and for that, my gratitude runs deeper than words. read more

I had a large cyst on my lip that had gradually been getting larger through time. I met with a couple of doctors and they said they were concerned of the location of the cyst and that removal would be difficult. After doing more research I saw that Dr. Shafa specializes in these procedures. After an initial consultation, I scheduled the in-office procedure with her. She completed the procedure in only 30 minutes, with no pain or discomfort, and was able to fully remove the cyst. The whole office experience was top-notch and I would highly recommend Dr. Shafa for anyone looking for any dermatology-related procedures. read more

Dr and staff are great. Got a mole removed on my face and it's completely gone with no scarring. Seamless procedure, they took good care of my needs. Highly recommend! read more

Fantastic doctor and very friendly staff. Excellent location and clean office. The doctor is very knowledgeable and friendly. I go there for acne and facial cyst treatments. Very easy to get same day appointments. One of the best doctors I've ever have met. read more

Incredibly unprofessional to cut a patient off and ask if they're in the medical field simply for asking questions on the treatment she is prescribing. Typical surgeon attitude of taking offense when questioned. Requiring an office visit every time a refill is necessary is interesting. The supporting staff were much friendlier and patient than the primary doctor herself which is ridiculous. Medications typically take more than a month to show results so follow ups that soon don't make sense for acne. You'll get a better experience from the actual dermatologist upstairs in the same building. read more

Doctor Sharfa is incredibly rough with her patients and does not spend nearly enough time with them. She is also not a dermatologist, she practiced internal medicine and visits here are classified as "general care" not "specialist". I think it's misleading to classify this establishment as a dermatologist as opposed to an office that provides dermatology services at an out of pocket cost (I have very good PPO insurance and it was not covered in this visit, where as in board-certified dermatology offices they are). Supporting staff are all great from receptionists to the PA, but the primary doctor needs to improve her hospitality considerably. read more

I'm so grateful to have Dr. Shafa and her team! I had a really bad infection on my finger that was causing intense pain. Dr. Shafa took my call after hours, prescribed medication right away, sid went above and beyond by coming in before her first appointment the next morning to take care of the issue--despite being completely booked. Her kindness, dedication, and exceptional care truly made a difference. I can't recommend her enough! read more

Best dermatologist in all of OC AND LA. Honest and caring does not rush you or try to sell you treatments you don't need. Going to get a CO2 laser done by her. The doctor does the laser not an assistant. She also helped me clear up my daughter's really bad acne. Best doctor ever! read more

wow! hard to believe results. my wrinkles have decreased significantly. i got the co2 laser resurfacing by dr. parvin shafa and am in the sun constantly with severe sun damage as well as to many wrinkles for my age so this treatment was amazing and perfect for me. read more

I came here to remove a keloid that appeared on my ear lobe. I couldn't wear earrings for a while until I came here. They did an amazing job. After 3 injections, the keloid gradually disappeared and now it is gone. I've done beauty mark removal here before as well and the marks are all gone. They did minor surgery to make sure the beauty mark doesn't reoccur and grows back. read more
