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

OC MedDerm helped remove my keloid from my ear, the doctor and staff were very helpful throughout the process. They explained everything very well and the after care has been great. I would definitely recommend coming here for any needs you might have. read more

The process is long but so worth it and Dr Shafa and her team are honestly the best! Would 10/10 recommend. I've had TCA Cross and Co2 laser done to help deal with severe acne scarring. Had 2 TCA Cross and 3 Co2 laser treatments and my skin has gotten significantly better (approximately 70-75%? Or so). My skin was baaaad. I'm going to have more treatments done, probably subscision w/ filler to deal with some of my rolling acne scars. Can't wait to see further improvement! read more

Arrived 10 mins earlier for my appointment to fill out some paper work. Spent 15 mins answering questionnaire and 15 mins waiting to be seen by Dr. Shafa. HOWEVER, Dr. Shafa only spent 5 mins in the room with me and she seemed in a hurry. She kept cutting me off when I wanted to ask more questions and saying "Thank you. Have a good day and I'll see you next time." Her hand was on the door the entire time and half of her body was outside of the room. I read some reviews about Dr. Shafa isn't a dermatologist so I googled her license number on California Board web. It shows that she's a physician and surgeon, NOT a licensed dermatologist and I can see that because when I asked her that why I keep loosing hair, all she said was " it's genetic." Not sure if it's because she was in a hurry and impatient or she's not knowledgeable enough to give me a legit answer. At the end, she asked me to come back after a month for a follow up. NO THANK YOU. I just wasted my time and money at your clinic and will not do that again. read more

Love this place! Dr. Shafa is great and highly experienced. I have been insecure about my hollow under eyes for a long time and I decided to come here for under eye filler and also spider vein treatment in my legs. I am very pleased with the service and expertise. Thank you Dr. Shafa!! Follow my tik tok for more before and afters @amandahagann read more

I made an appointment to see Dr. O regarding a cyst on the side of my face. Dr. O was extremely helpful, knowledgeable and friendly. He reassured me about what needs to get done to take care of this issue and he also shared a lot of other great information with me. I highly recommend Dr. O to anyone looking for a wonderful and trusting dermatologist. read more

I see Dr. Shafa when I go and I have to say they truly care and the treatment I have received is second to none. She is thorough and patient and I've been very happy with the experience. Additionally, my son received treatment for his acne (he's 15 and struggled with this as many teenagers do) and she cleared up his issues almost immediately after he saw her. This was a huge boost for his confidence and feeling about himself. Just wonderful care at OC Med Derm! Excellent modern equipment and facilities too :) read more

I had the opportunity to visit OC MedDerm and couldn't be more impressed! From the interaction with the front office staff, who were attentive, courteous, and timely! though to the actual patient encounter with Dr. O. Dr. O took the time to address each of my concerns and was an absolute pleasure to interact with. In an environment of physicians being overworked and overstressed, he stands out for his exemplary bed-side manner. Rest assured, I don't need to worry about finding another dermatologist again. read more

So I went in today to Oc MedDerm and saw Dr. Omeed Ahadiat (Dr. O) to remove some new annoying skin growth spots on my face. He did an amazing job checking out my face and explaining area's that he could correct. I definitely would recommend Dr. O as he was very thorough and made the process super easy. Procedure was painless and now I have a goto Dermatologist! Excited to go back soon and get some Botox treatments to help with my skin wrinkles read more

The ladies here are the loveliest women you will ever meet. They care so much about their clients. I came in today and there were free skincare samples at the front! The lady I spoke to wanted to know where i got my breast lift done so she could recommend the same lift to her clients because I don't have a vertical scar. I can tell that they are very passionate about what they do and it's so much more than just about the money. They're so amazing! read more

I had Kybella done here with Dr. Shafa and unfortunately had to pay the price (big time) down the road. The injections were done superficially and caused such severe scar tissue that I just went through a liposuction procedure to have the scar tissue removed last week. I may need to get further steroid injections under my chin to treat any scar tissue that may form again from the result of the Kybella injections. I think the most upsetting part is doctors not informing and educating their patients as to what their best options are. Injecting anyone with anything because it profits you isn't what being a doctor is about. Finding the right solutions to the problems people come to you with IS what being a good doctor should be about, and I wish I could have had a positive experience here. I regret the time, money and energy I wasted on this establishment and the terrible Kybella product. I would advise against Kybella and any doctor that pushes it, run away! read more

Where to begin! Glad I found OC MedDerm ! I needed to address a long standing Pilar Cyst and Dr. Omeed was the best! I did the free consultation and Dr. O explained my situation and what would be done. He gave me complete confidence in his approach and attentiveness. I had the procedure a week ago and a week later, I'm so pleased with his work and how it looks. Well done! read more

Dr. Shafa is great! I've been seeing her for a few months now regarding keloid scar treatment and have seen improvements all throughout. Staff is also always happy to answer any questions. read more

I would like to start off by saying that the front desk personnel were very kind and accommodating over the phone and in the office. With that being said, Dr. Shafa and her office manager/financial counselor were the absolute worst! Their disorganization was clear from the moment I walked into their office. Visibly messy paperwork scattered all around the room and on top of a dirty dowdy desk. These two women together were the ultimate "mean girl" duo. They spoke down to me in a pretentious manner while displaying much irritation to my questions. Dr. Shafa then decided to advise, disclose and physically point out all the unflattering features on my face. She informed her fellow collogue of how she avoids/corrects these situations with fillers. I came in for an estimate on skin tags and instead was used as a physical diagram of what "not to do". It came off as some sort of sick sales tactic designed to make you feel insecure enough to buy whatever "magic" they are selling. In the end, they provided me estimates written on sticky notes that amounted to over $7000.. I wasn't going to write this review because I try not to pass negative judgment however, I would hate for anyone else to experience this. Unprofessional, disheartening and complete waist of time. read more

I'm sure how this place get 4 star review. I have 14 years old boy with some moles on his face and I called to schedule a consultation. I drove 1 hour to get there and they looked at it said they could do but can not give me the cost because the person can is not there yet. The doctor took pictures of his moles and said will give a call back for the cost. I've been waiting for couples of days...no calls. I called and they said they don't know anything and the dr. is out of town on vacation. She said she will give me a call back when the dr. is back. Waiting, waiting a week later...nothing happens. Then I just call yesterday again, they said will give me a call back in 30' but nothing again... Very disappointed this place. If you don't want to do it, then just tell me straight ahead than wasting my time. Looking for another place now! read more

I was suffering from a scalp and beard rash for the past 2 years. Was seen by a few different doctors without any clear explanation of what is causing the problem or any effective treatment. I made an appointment with OC Medderm and was seen within a week! The dermatologist I was seen by clearly explained the diagnosis, what causes it, and what I should expect. They then prescribed me two different treatments. After just a few weeks my rash has completely resolved. These people know what they are doing! read more

I cannot say enough about this office! The entire staff is so friendly, kind, and helpful. Getting an appointment was a breeze, office is pleasant and hardly any wait time after arriving for my appointments. The staff is amazing but it is no wonder, Dr. Parvin Shafa is just as kind, patient, and helpful. She is full of knowledge in which she shares with you, explaining all, and discussing your concerns. She does not try and push any products or cosmetic procedures. She is genuinely concerned for your concerns and you can clearly tell, she loves what she does. I am so happy that I found this office for my skincare needs and procedures. read more

Great dermatologist and front desk. All three of my visits went very smoothly, and Dr. Shafa knew exactly what I was dealing with. She gained my trust, and I finally decided to go a certain route regarding acne after several other dermatologist experiences. Thank you, Dr. Shafa, for all that you do! read more

"Never go to this clinic, Dr. Parvin Shafa is a liar. Initially, they told me they accept my insurance, even confirming via email that they work with my insurance. But in the third session, they said they don't accept it, and I have to pay for the treatment myself. They ultimately forced me to pay and threatened to file a complaint against me. I strongly emphasize that this clinic's approach is a scam. Do not visit this clinic under any circumstances. Dr. Parvin Shafa is a liar." read more

I have wrinkle lines from the corner of my mouth to chin, commonly called marionette lines and I have wanted for such a long time to to do something about them. I went to OC MedDerm and visited with Dr. Shaka about it. She recommended a filler. The cost would be $1200. I was told it would last approximately one year, it lasted one month and then my wrinkles lines looked like they did before my visit. I went back to discuss this with Dr Shafa what my options were now. She told me she " always feels so bad when her patients aren't happy", then showed me the exit door. A reputable doctor would stand behind her work and be willing to correct the problem. I was extremely disappointed in the process, $1200 was a lot of money for me. Do your homework and find a reputable dermatologist and it's not Dr. Shaka read more

Dr. Omeed Ahadiat is the best! He took amazing care of me and was extremely thorough and detailed. He went above and beyond and answered all my questions. He gave me a simple routine to follow that has worked wonders! I highly recommend Dr. O! Thank you so much, my skin has never looked better! read more

I've gone to one other dermatologist before coming to OC MedDerm, and let me just say, the difference here is night and day. Dr. Shafa and her team are highly effective, efficient, and very welcoming. I was at what felt like a dead end trying to manage severe acne, yet after treatment with Dr. Shafa, she cleared it up and has been tremendously impactful mitigating the scarring and keloids that came as a result of the acne. The progress is beyond what I thought would be possible. I also had a mole that I was hesitant to remove since it was on my face (and I'm prone to keloids), nevertheless, Dr. Shafa took care of it with exemplary precision and expertise. She truly cares about you and strives to achieve the best possible results. Dr. Shafa and her staff are very clear on what to expect during all steps of the process. Overall very thankful for Dr. Shafa and her team! read more

Dr. Shafa did a hand injection to minimize the tendon and vein look on the backs of my hands. The procedure was quick and painless. I saw the results immediately! Dr. Shafa was thorough and very detail oriented. She is a experienced and knowledgeable injector. She also removed the age spot on the right hand. It was very quick and easy process and the spot will be gone in a week or two. This quick and easy procedure easily took 5-10 years off the look of my hands and should last a year or more! Left hand is treated right hand not treated yet read more

Shady Car Salesman Hard Sale Atmosphere and A Lot of Unknowns. My experience with Dr Parvin Shafa left me feeling extremely uneasy. Unfortunately, Yelp ran out of room for a full in depth depiction of what took place During and Post visit at the office.  The short of it is that I felt very rushed throughout the visit and had to ask the Dr for clarification about a lot of things, which were still even glazed over.  When I asked about my red bump skin irritation issues, she just told me to shave differently and find another process. OK.... like What/How? That is why I came to a Skin Dr, for help, not to have to find my own answers. Her answer: she prescribed me a topical solution.  Oily Skin? They make or sell a wonder cream in office called "Retin-A" (not sure spelling as I've only heard of Retinol before, but she said that is not it) and referred to it as "010" How much is it? $100 today but when I told them I would think about it, if I buy later, it would be $130  (I can't remember the exact up charge, but it was fairly significant $130 - $150). "It will take care of everything" from oily skin to make your pores smaller.    Dark Spots, which she says all will grow in circumference and even raise up. How to treat? A cosmetic thing she called "Plasma Laser". I couldn't get a clear explanation of it. She told me the girls will get me the price for it when I asked how much. $495 for up to 15 localized spots. I originally was going to do it but ended up cancelling it as I have never heard of it, and I consulted with my clients who are ASPS, Derm (farther away), and also Medspas, who have not heard of Plasma Laser and politely dissuaded me from trying this and all I could find online were Plasma Pens that you can buy from Ebay or other possibly questionable sites with average costs ranging from $15 - $70. When I called back for more information like if just one session, and if not, how many and how much for each additional session, they didn't know (wasn't in my chart) and had to call me back. "$495 for first session, which she is giving me a HUGE discount because it's usually $1495, then 1/2 off each additional session at $248". hmm, It all originally sounded like one session was all that was needed.  They charged me a Co-Pay when I don't have a Co-Pay. And after I cancelled everything, I got a bill for my deductible portion (which I understand, but what is the breakdown of what was charged?). They billed for $240 and I tried to find out what that was for (due to hard sale feeling of visit), office couldn't tell me (not clear from chart) and told me to call biller (not in the Dr's Office). Doesn't biller get the info from the Dr? What's in the chart? Talked to my insurance and they said it is listed as "45 min new patient". I had to spend the first 10-15 min telling assistant in the consult room the same answers that I had already answered on the iPad that broke while I was waiting the ~45 min beyond my appointment time. Unfortunately, main biller was out, they'll have to check the chart. When I asked what that 45 min bill means and if they bill per 15 min increment, they didn't know. I brought up having to spend first 15 min or so retelling question answers since iPad broke, and at $240, that makes sense that they're billing about $80 per 15 min, Office gal replied that I have to consider the time they take to enter notes and or put in prescriptions to pharmacy. Wow... you bill at $80 per 15 min for that? I had to call every few days because they never called me back as promised and finally just paid the full amount.  Everything just felt a bit shady. $100 if buy wonder cream today, upcharge if later. Dr not clarifying about treatments or what to do. Unclear and not up front pricing / info about Plasma Laser, and consistent "don't know, you/I need to talk to the other person" answers. read more

I just had Dysport injected into my muscle spasms in my neck and shoulders and it actually took all the pain away I have never had such an amazing outcome for my chronic pain I have tried every medication physical therapy pain specialist orthopedic surgeon and nothing worked and how I got the Dysport injected by Dr. Shafa and so I really recommend it for anyone who suffering from chronic muscle pain. read more

I stumbled across Dr. Shafa on Yelp and she had pretty good reviews, so I took a chance and made an appointment... boy I sure am happy that I did! Dr. Shafa is by far one of the most personable and diligent dermatologists I have ever had. Truly. She removed my giant scar and performed micro-dermabrasion, both of which helped my acne flare. The staff was so friendly and the clinic was very clean. P.S. You have to keep in mind some patients will post negative reviews about certain doctors due to insurance errors, or some medications aren't covered by their insurance. Doctors like Shafa truly cares and they would always prescribe the most cost efficient medications to their patients, so check your insurance before posting negative reviews on their abilities and their practices. read more

Dr. Shafa is amazing! I had a lump in a private area I needed removed and I'm glad I came to her. She was very comforting and informative about the removal procedure and the healing process. She provided me with bandages and ointment help the stitched skin heal. Forever grateful for her help! She's the professional you need! read more

Dr Shafa is amazing! I've been visiting her for 13 years. She treats me like a VIP and never turns me down, even when she is super busy. She does great peels. She is also a dermatologist and very dedicated to great results. Thank you, Dr Shafa!! read more

OC MedDerm - I love you Dr. Shafa! - Cosmetic Surgeons Near Me - Irvine, California

I got two moles removed, three cherry angiomas (red moles) and a small skin tag above my eye removed. It was around $1300. This doctor is $$$$ if you don't have insurance or are coming for cosmetics. I made the appointment the day before on the phone, and had to wait over an hour to get the procedure after the consult. It wasn't the best experience having to wait such a long time with my shirt off for the doctor in the little room, but again I am grateful. Next time I'd rather come quick and go, as opposed to having to wait such a long time. (Prior employees were visiting the doctor and this took up a huge deal of time of me having to wait ) Don't make an appointment if you have something to do or planned afterwards, this takes at least an hour! The doctor wasn't too involved in the initial consult, it was more the medical assistants who called the doctor in at the end to introduce herself. I personally didn't mind that the medical assistants were helping in the consult because I know doctors are busy. The medical assistants also go over pricing with you, not the doctor. Most everyone in the office seemed sweet and welcoming, with the exception of a blonde girl who sat at the left front desk and looked miserable. The office was clean and sanitized. The doctor was kind, and explained everything she was doing when at my procedure. She knew how to distract from the pain, and is so confident in her work, she said if she leaves any kind of scarring after a few months she will take care of it complimentary! Come here if you need a mole removed she will definitely take care of you. I will post before and after pics as the two mole sites heal. read more

Very lovely Dr. Shafa! Also to the Ladies! :) they deserve max stars! Don't hesitate to pay a visit! I'm telling you people. Place is nice, plenty of parking, easy appointments, very clean space!, and they have the best positive attitude! If the Dr. said nothing to worry about, and no action needed.. trust her! Will definitely see her next time again! And thank you! read more

If you're looking for the right dermatologist in Orange County, THIS is your spot! Dr. Shafa and her staff (shout out to Natalie as well) are TRUE professionals and treated me and my skin issues with patience, courteousness and professionalism. I have been afraid to visit a dermatologist and was hoping my skin issues would heal itself. I was very self-conscious and nervous about my skin issues but Doc and her staff made me feel comfortable, normal and at ease during my procedure. I am thankful to have found this spot and will return back if I ever have future skin issues. I would highly recommend this office to anyone needing a dermatologist. Thank you. Dr. Shafa and staff!!!!!!!!! 5 STARS all the way. read more

I have been going here since 2015 due to having PCOS. I have had previous laser session elsewhere for this condition, but was ripped off and was hesitant to do laser again. I would hide my face by leaving my hair down until I was introduced to Dr. Shafa by an acquaintance and couldn't be happier. I was extremely worried about the results and if the laser would work. Dr. Shafa gave me the details and unlike other doctors that "guarantee 100%", she told me an estimate with even a possibility of my treatment not working. She made me to try it once more and I'm glad I did. I got laser treatment done on my face (extremely stubborn area; chin, cheeks, neck) and have been very happy with the results. My acne has also been under control compared to my old puberty days with laser hair removal treatment. My acne scars have healed and I don't deal with ingrown hairs anymore that cause acne. Due to my condition, I do need more treatments and would definitely recommend her to anyone. I only have to go every 3-4 months now. She cares for her patients and is very welcoming. She is not one who will take your money. You get your money's worth. :) I started with her in 2015 and still see her in 2019 for touch-ups. ^__^ The location of this place is super convenient & clean. I know waiting can be frustrating from some of the reviews. Do expect to wait after check in because sometimes there is a delay sometimes. She is the only laser doctor available. I would call and ask how the schedule looks ahead of time to see if you'll have to wait or will be taken in right away. I've waited 45 mins to an hour before and just kill time on my phone. read more

Although I have only been a patient of Dr. Shafa's for three months, the results ive seen have surpassed my expectations and fears of treating my current acne and acne scars. I have done multiple chemical peels & as a first timer I was terrified but she carefully explained all the precautions and side effects that made the healing process a success. We still have our work cut out for us moving foward but I have the upmost confidence in Dr. Shafa that she will get me to the point where make up is no longer needed! So glad I made the leap and found this awesome facility who has done nothing but put my needs and first. Definitely helps that the staff in the office is very nice and supportive. :) read more
