Dr Kaufman is meticulous and intelligent and has a reputation in the medical community for being…read morethe finest MOH's surgeon. He explains that what you want is a surgeon who will give you "the best scar," and he's exactly correct. I extensively researched MOH's surgeons to remove a basal cell carcinoma on a complicated part of my nose, right in the middle of my face. To say I was terrified after receiving this diagnosis would be an understatement. After a handful of consultations with recommended doctors around Los Angeles, I saw Dr. Kaufman (who's an hour outside of LA) and confirmed he was the surgeon for me. He uses a visual aid to explain the procedure and said he doesn't do skin grafts because they can become dislodged too easily (i.e. you bump your nose while sleeping). This and other well-thought-out explanations were key to my decision. My scar is small and colorless. The symmetry of my nose (one of his concerns) is intact. He was affable my first visit and a little crusty another time, but I was prepared for that because I was told his bedside manner is not his strong suit. I believe it's because his brain cells are wired to do excellent detail work that he cares deeply about, and are only sometimes fully accessible for social interactions. Although he did explain the procedure well and is an excellent teacher. The one casualty of the bedside manner issue was that because of the tight time schedule, I might not have received the best wound care instruction from the nurses, which is also integral to getting the best scar. I was told after it was too late that it would have been important to (gently but) thoroughly wash away the crusty dead skin cells around the stitches as they form. The office recommended using Bioderm cream, which worked well. Buy it from them (or whatever they're recommending) as I've heard reports of counterfeits sold on Amazon. I would add that - in my research - saline solution for cleaning the wound and vaseline before bandaging seemed to be the way to go, so I used that protocol. Apparently, hydrogen peroxide destroys fibrinogens and antibacterial ointments interfere with elements of cell regrowth. If Dr. Kaufman's recommends some other protocol, I'm sure that's great too. A cosmetic surgeon recommended opaque coverage of the area from the sun while walking/hiking outside for an entire year and said many of his patients don't leave the house for two weeks after a surgery like this because the sun is the enemy with regard to preventing visible scars. Lastly, if you're reading this because you have to have a MOH's surgery for basal cell carcinoma, I'd say, have courage, you'll feel so much better when you're on the other side of it. I'm glad I went with Dr. Kaufman. Go with whomever you feel comfortable with and good luck!

It's been a number of years since my mohs surgery but I would never recommend Dr. Kaufman…read more He didn't explain anything to me and was actually rude during my hours long procedure. His nurses didn't give me clear instructions and when I questioned him on my follow up visit he said they should have told you this. I am permanently scared and maybe would have been anyway but he was insensitive and less than understanding.

I would like to express my deepest gratitude and appreciation for the wonderful treatment I got at…read moreApex Dermatology from Doctor Harp. Doctor Harp's professionalism, attention to details and genuine care made my visit truly special. I got Laser, Sofwave, Botox and fillers, and they were not just cosmetic procedures - Doctor Harp gave me a renewed sense of confidence and joy. I have been many times to Apex Dermatology for medical and cosmetic and always feel welcome and supported. Thank you very much, Doctor Harp and all the staff of Apex Dermatology. I wish you success and happiness and many more years of helping people feel young and beautiful.

I called them to inquire about morpheus8…read more I received some pricing over the phone. The package i would be purchasing is nearly $3200. After hanging up the phone I had a few more questions. I call them back and nobody picked up, but there was an option to text with them. So I sent three follow up questions. None of the questions had anything to do with me or my anatomy. So you tell me why I have to spend a $100 for a "consultation" to find out if numbing is included in the price, if they use the actual body handpiece and not the smaller face one, and how deep they go. So if the first thing they tell me, during this consult, is that no, they do not use the actual body handpiece and I dont want their services then poof! There goes my $100. Why on earth would I spend $100 for them to answer basic questions they *should* answer for any prospective client. I just moved to the area and im so disappointed. Way to lose a really good potential client. As a business owner myself I am truly shocked at the ridiculousness of all of this. Id rather pay more elsewhere than go here and be treated poorly.
