After many years being under his care, I came to realize what a big mistake I have made. I finally got to see the real side of him when he put me in a miserable situation and left me in the dark for three weeks until I was checked by another doctor today and was told that my condition was treatable without a need for biopsy. Dr. Babapour failed to answer my questions during my last visit and cared more about paperwork and liability. He couldn't diagnose my skin condition and asked me to get a second opinion. He is out of touch with reality and doesn't not care about his patients and is heavily focused on saving himself. His bedside manner is awful and does not have the capacity to deal with his patients in a compassionate way. read more

They waned me to sign a cancellation for with a $200.00 penalty if I did not cancel 24 hours before any appointment. I asked what about an emergency and if it happened I would provide proof. I was told it was entirely at their discretion. Bapour came out and confirmed their position. Under the circumstances I left as I felt it was unfair. When leaving the Doctor sneered at me and sarcastically said "BYE, BYE". Disgusting,,,,,,, read more

Extremely knowledge, very nice and accommodating. Hightly recommended!

Dr Babapour is the most caring knowledgeable doctor you'll ever find. He's been my doctor for 14 years and has done countless biopsies of my skin. Every time I go to see him for skin screening or concerned about a new mole or lesion, he sends the biopsy and calls me a couple of days after to explain the results. He always takes a lot of time explaining and even calls you after hours to check on you. I was diagnosed with melanoma 3 years ago and he went above and beyond to get me into surgery right away and I am 100% fine! Now I'm dealing with basal cell carcinoma and same thing, he's given me the best care posible. He's not only my doctor, he is truly a friend. A wonderful doctor with a big heart. Very hard to find nowadays. read more

Went to Dr. Babapour for a thorough skin cancer check up. I have light skin that freckles easily and have been diagnosed with skin cancer in the past. The doctor was so very thorough in checking everywhere, even between my toes; and gave me plenty of time to voice any other skin concerns. It is rare to have a doctor devote this much time and attention in one appointment slot. On a separate occasion he got on the phone to find an eye specialist that could see me on a Friday late in the afternoon of a holiday weekend. His receptionist/front desk person was not very knowledgeable about his practice but I definitely recommend Dr. Babapour! read more

It's hard to write a review of Dr Babapour without it sounding "over the top," but honestly he is one of the two best physicians I have ever used. Not only is he caring, but his skill set is unmatched. I found him to be thoroughly honest and more than willing to listen to any of my concerns. My only regret is to be no longer living in the area. read more

I am so overwhelmed with all the positive things I want to say about this doctor, I'm at a loss for words. I am convinced that Dr. Babapour is the BEST dermatologist in LA. In the sea of Beverly Hills pretense and cut-throat docs who just want your money, it is so refreshing to find a doctor who is actually honest. Yes, honest! Like, when I asked him if I need any anti-aging prevention regiments (and I was ready and willing to spend money), he said that at my age I'm too young to even be thinking about things iike that and to be spending money on expensive creams or treatments. Suck it, department store salesgirls who tried to convince me I'd be wrinkled in 5 years if I didn't buy their chic creams!! Besides the honesty aspect, he is an overall great dermatologist. He knows skin and how to treat it. Every little issue I had, he was able to fix. Now I'm going through a laser hair removal (ahem..on my face), and I could not be happier. He performs the treatment himself, and takes his time to make sure he is done the treatment to perfection. He is very approachable and personable; it is so nice to feel important at a doctor's office! Upon every freak-out I had about aforementioned treatments or any skin issue, I was always able to speak with him the same day over the phone and he was able to help me out or calm me down, or to see me for a follow up as soon as possible. As far as insurance, he takes PPO, but his walk-in price is (I think) $95 bucks, which is very reasonable for a dermatologist, especially as good as he is. I'm trying to bring by mom to him also, he is too good not to share! P.S. There is a parking lot right across the street, you get one hour of parking for free. read more

Consultation visit only: I was a bit suspicious at some of the reviews (both good and bad) but decided to check the place out anyway. Got a same-day appointment and had a free consultation and Dr Reza was very friendly, extremely knowledgeable, and convinced me he's not out to just make a quick buck. He cares about his patients and wants them to be happy. He could've easily told me that I should start treatments right away and start billing me, but instead took his time explaining everything to me, and said to go get other opinions and read up for myself as much information as I can before choosing a doctor. I respect that. I'll definitely be back and will update my review accordingly. read more

I HAVE SO MANY GOOD THINGS TO SAY ABOUT THIS DOCTOR I DON'T KNOW WHERE TO BEGIN!!! MUST READ :) Dr. Babapour likes to be involved directly with his patients, asking crucial questions to find out exactly what needs to be attended to considering your personal skin type, history, and current problem. This Doctor truly cares about the well being of his patients. I went to several dermatologists before him, in attempt to solve the problem of acne scars and also acne. Every place I went, insisted that I have laser procedures done and spend thousands of dollars, claiming this was the ONLY way to help my skin problem. Dr. Babapour immediately told me I have beautiful skin and that I am too young to have those procedures preformed. He then gave me a cream and moisturizer plus sunscreen to use every day. He told me this is a better way for me to deal with scarring and acne. I used these creams for a month and now my face is beginning to look fresh and the scars are truly beginning to disappear. I could not believe the difference in my skin. I went to visit Dr. babapour again yesterday and he gave more more of the creams and said it could only get better from here. He also accomadated my situation seeing as I am a struggling student and gave me a discount on the visit and helped me with the creams as well. I HIGHLY HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS DERMATOLOGIST!!!! DO NOT EVEN CONSIDER GOING SOMEWHERE ELSE. IF YOU HAVE SKIN ISSUES....THIS IS YOUR MAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! read more

If you're looking for a great laser hair removal experience, Dr Babapour is a great choice. I did a lot of research and have extensive knowledge of the procedure, and would highly recommend him for your laser hair removal needs if you have light skin (he has an alexandrite type laser which is best on light skin). He's a dermatologist and actually performs the treatments himself unlike most other places where nurses do it (although it's most important to get someone who does this procedure all the time). In addition, he's very upfront and honest about your expectations. If you're not a good candidate, he will turn you away. Many in this industry are very money-hungry and tell you only what you want to hear, so you need to be careful not to fall for it. Several treatments are necessary for results, but Dr Babapour doesn't charge for several treatments upfront like many others, so you don't get stuck in a package deal. The prices are mostly in line with the competition. He's very friendly, his office is always very clean, and he has really pleasant receptionists. Credit cards are accepted too, which is a plus since this procedure is not covered by insurance. Regardless, have a free consultation here and at other places to compare clinics before you commit to any one clinic. All I can say is that I've had great results here and have nothing but good things to say about this clinic. P.S. Parking is free for one hour at a lot across the street. read more

Unnecessary costs. Inefficient. I saw dermatolgist Dr. Reza and was surprised when what I thought was a simple problem had to be dragged out over several expensive office visits. My bill reached an exorbitant amount and to top it off, I started having problems with my insurance covering it. I got no sympathy from Dr. Reza's office. My old dermatologist in my hometown has treated me for the same condition and never have I required so many office visits. Today, after multiple visits and a huge bill, the problem is not under control. I can only conclude that these additional visits were unnecessary and just intended to get more money from me. read more

Dr. Babapour is really terrific. I went to him based on the reviews on this page, and I was not disappointed. Most importantly, he is knowledgeable, dedicated, and concerned about his patients. He genuinely cares about you (or appears to) and spends a good deal of time making sure that you are comfortable with everything he does. As part of that process, he takes time to explain everything about your situation. Not nearly as important, but still very high on the list: he is always on time with his appointments. No waiting around for Dr. Babapour. He schedules his day so that he has time for each patient, with no overlap. A rarity, and definitely a great experience. I went first for a LA sunshine checkup to see if I had any problematic skin issues. On later visits, I had a mole removed and some other growths frozen. I highly recommend the Dr. on all levels. Oh, and don't forget the free 1 hour of parking directly across the street on Bedford. read more

Dr. Babapour just took my money and didn't treat me at all. He asked me to do a blood test and come to his clinic multiple times (he charged my insurance of course for every visit), and at the end he told me that he couldn't do anything for me. He is a very incompetent doctor, who just sucks money from your insurance. I am very disappointed! read more

i hate to write a negative review. Dr. Babapour is a very nice guy. takes time to sit and talk to you (conversationally) and answer all your questions. the issues i encountered were: he misdiagnosed me, saying i had a medical condition that would require 3-5 follow up visits to treat. i went to see 2 podiatrists for an unrelated issue and was told by both that he had been incorrect (they said it was merely callouses). (who knows, maybe a dermatologist can diagnose feet skin better than a podiatrist? i'll have to ask my former dermatologist, whom i left due to insurance changes, but i LOVED and will be returning to.) the questions i asked were not really answered. he kind of skirted around all of my questions. (different topics, stuff you just randomly think to ask a dermatologist when you randomly see them). i had a pleasant experience on both my visits. VERY nice guy. very nice girl who works the front desk. i wish i could have something better to say about him medically to corroborate the other reviewers. :/ read more

I couldn't have found a finer person or finer dermatologist. Dr Babapour is highly knowledgeable, caring and sensitive. As far as I'm concerned, he's as good as it gets! read more

Never been to a dermatologist before so I'm not sure how a great dermatologist should be. But when I found out that my insurance covers dermatology and when I started having some general concerns as I'm getting older now. I have to say this office is one of the few med offices that actually keep to their appointment time. I hate it when I go in to a doctor's office with an appointment and then somehow end up seeing the doctor 30 minutes after. Dr. Babapour was very nice and seemed very knowledgable in his field. It felt like more of a casual discussion rather than an intimidating manner. Plus he gave me LOTS and LOTS of sample lotions/cleansers/body wash!! And when I mean LOTS I mean like 40 tubes of stuff! I will definitely keep him saved as my dermatologist. BTW, park in the city garage as they give you one hour free parking. No such thing as street parking in Beverly Hills. read more

Finally a dermatologist that is professional thorough and takes all the time to carefully explain what's going on with my skin. What a pro! Thank goodness doctors like him still exist. I went to 3 other dermatologists- NONE of whole thoroughly examined me like Dr B. Did. So glad I finally found a great dermatologist read more

I noticed a bump on my chin and dryness on my nose and mouth. The next day a few more and the following day i was itchy with an explosion of bumps on my lower face. As soon as i got to a computer i went to yelp and found this doctor. I don't have insurance so i was looking for someone who has decent prices and a good record with patients and i found Reza Babapour, MD. I called at 9am or so and i spoke to the nicest receptionist ever! It's $95 for the first visit and $75 for each visit after. Getting to the office can be tricky. If you get lost call the office. Like everyone says look for the Rite Aid at the corner. It doesnt look like a usual rite aid, it's a darker building. Down that block is the free parking building. PARK THERE. The office is across from the parking. Go up the elevators to the 2nd floor to the right down the hall and another right. Its the door you meet at the end. I quickly did my paperwork. The doctor saw me and knew right away what was going on. I asked him different questions and he gave me answers and free samples! He's super nice and explains whatever you don't understand. I suggest for the $95 price that whatever problem brought you there immediately you should also come with a list of other questions. Like if there's something happening with your face but you've also had problems with scars on your legs ask about both. The prescription he gave me was $40. So it was $135. It was worth it..my face was clear within 2-3days. I took off one star cause the samples and the medicine he gave had lots of chemicals..parabens and the like. I really want more eco-friendly and natural products...vegan would be badass too. read more

Great dermatologist! Wonderfully courteous Dr and office staff! Parking is underneath in this new location and he always makes time for patients! read more

Dr. Babapour is fantastic! He worked elegantly and tenderly checked with my blisters. He is very experienced and found out my problem in a glance. Besides, he patiently answered all of my questions and tolerated my pour understanding on medical vocabularies. Also, the receptionist helped me with my appointment kindly and with lots of patience; the signal broke out more than 5 times but she was still very friendly and asked me to continue. She also helped me kindly when I got lost around the road to the building. read more

My boyfriend referred me to Dr. Babapour, and I have been coming in on and off for 3 years. My hormonal acne has been getting the best of me. I have done the best I can to get the breakouts under control. I finally decided to try the chemical peels for my acne scars. I have only gotten 2, but at this point my breakouts are pretty close to non existent. When they do come, they are very small and go away rather quickly. The scarring is starting to fade away, slowly but surely. Dr. Babapour recommended me getting a couple more and my skin would be pretty much flawless. Also, the price for the peels are the most affordable I could find in Beverly Hills! read more

In the 6 wonderful years I spent in sunny So-Cal, I gratefully never needed dermatological services...until sneaky Mother Nature struck and I was diagnosed Celic (wheat/gluten allergic) last fall in Chicago. I visited beloved Lady Angeles a few weeks ago and stayed at the Sunset Marquis, arising early one morning thinking how convenient 'twould be to dine there at l'hôtel. A word from someone 1 experience wiser: at the first sign of server indifference to food allergies, make for the nearest exit..."allergic to wheat?" he echoes. "I dough believe zee hash browns contain wheat - let me sheck wit zee chef....no zay are fine". They were not. Within a couple of hours I was in the beginning stages of a nightmare breakout on my face, shoulders, and left arm...hives and cystic acne that overnight turned into weeping blisters. I couldn't help but weep with them. I chose Dr. Reza with the aid of stellar yelp reviews and am incredibly thankful I did. I am without insurance and was charged a very reasonable (for LA) $95 dollars for the visit. To ameliorate the impact on my wallet he gave me oodles of samples & wrote the proper prescriptions. He saved my face from scarring (you really wouldn't believe that just a little over two weeks ago I had horrendous eruptions that looked as if scarring was inevitable). I am so grateful for his calm reassurance and for fitting me into the tail end of a booked day. read more

Dr. Reza is an honest man. He refused to give me Restilin and said I was too young for it. Any other derm would have taken my money. He fixed my skin that a facialist botched up with a tool and left 30% of my face scabbed. He is super professional and nice and there is free parking across the street. read more

I am extremely neurotic about who I use and consider to be an excellent doctor. Dr. Babapour is really the best in Beverly Hills. His practice is both attentive and sincere. He treats his patients like real people and gives everyone 100 percent attention and expertise. I have been visiting him for years. I make the trek all the way from South Redondo Beach to visit him because he is totally worth it! read more

Great doctor. He was able to correctly diagnose my skin condition right away after one office visit. I was taking the wrong medicine prescribed from a different doctor for almost two months and it was just making my issue worse. Thank god I decided to visit Dr Babapour because with the medicine he prescribed helped cure me. He is a great doctor with great manners. There is very little to no waiting time to see him. The office is clean and he does his own procedures. Also he seemed to genuinely care about my problem which was very different from other doctors I've visited. There is free parking right across the street for one hour. I will defiantly return to him if I ever need to and I will recommend people to him. read more

I came to Dr. Babapour as a referral from my dentist. My dentist is phenominal and every other dentist I've gone to always compliments the crown work he's done. I mention this because my dentist is also a tyrant and I can't imagine him being satisfied with any doctor. I just went to Dr. Babapour for my second visit to treat pre-cancerous spots on my face and, this time, to remove a basal cell on my arm that two previous dermatologists couldn't take care of. Let me start by saying that Dr. Reza's bedside manner is impeccable: he truly cares about his patient's well-being and, as others here have written, takes a personal interest in your welfare. He's not a slam-bam get 'em in/get 'em out type of doctor. He carefully explains your situation and opinion without pressuring or attempting to stick you with a large bill. He also doesn't "stack" his waiting room with patients and keep you waiting: both visits I was in the examining room in 5 minutes or less of my arrival. Currently I do not have insurance and Dr. Reza was more than sympathetic to my situation and I was very pleased with not only his fees (his office manager allowed me to spread out several payments) but with the thoroughness of his consultation and services. It really is rare to find a doctor these days who delivers such personal, caring service and is extremely gentle and genuine in his manner. I complimented him today because after my first treatment (at a cost of $200.00) he removed many, many pre-cancerous spots on my face that a previous, highly touted dermatologist (She's always on "The Doctors" promoting her products and services) took six sessions and $3,000.00 of my money to accomplish. He is somewhat conservative in his approach and doesn't have any "hidden agenda" regarding making his patients a reoccurring "annuity". I really can't recommend Dr. Babapour more highly and hope this review is helpful in making your selection of an excellent dermatologist! read more

Im not sure whether these reviews could be trust at all or not! I went to him based on the reviews but he doesnt even examed me, just sat there and listened as if I am talking to my psychologist!!! The prescriptions woked only for a month then i got worse skin after wards- exactly what happened to the other poster- And now he s asking me to go back and see himagain !! if it wanted to work it would first time, why should i pay another 95 when it doesnt work. Honestly I lost my faith on Drs specially Dermos, they r only after money and turn to become a business people rather than care givers. It is very sad where medical field is heading to. read more

Dr. Babapour is a dream come true. He is serious about dermatology not just plastic surgery, as many Beverly Hills dermatologists are. I recently went to him for a skin issue that i had seen several other dermatologist for (one of which that had me believing I had Rocesea) he took the time to examine my face- something no one else had done and explain to me what was going on. He asked me if I was comfortable with his suggested treatment recommendation and told me if not he could figure out something else. He was very strait forward with me and very kind. BEST of all the regimen he suggested cleared up my skin overnight :) I have already recommended him to a friend and will continue to do so. read more

I'm rating the receptionist. Has no clue whatsoever. I called to ask if they performed laser tattoo removal and she replies, "Who's asking?" That is irrelevant and I told her so. She replies, "Would you like to make an appointment?" I then knew this person had no idea what she was doing or even an ounce of common sense. I don't have confidence in this business if they don't even properly train the person who is the "face" of the business. I told her it would be pointless to make an appointment if they don't even perform the procedure I'm interested in. She said she would ask if they did laser tattoo removal and in fact, they do. Needless to say I wasn't even interested in putting my trust in their hands. Moving on to another business. read more

I have nothing but great things to say about Dr Babapour. Like other yelpers have said, he has a genuine concern for his patients. But more importantly, he gets you results. I had full blown acne when I went to see him 9 months ago and now I get a pimple about once a month where as before it was every other day! I've recommended all my friends and family to see Dr Babapour. read more

For the record, I have only spoken with Dr. Babapour over the phone. I called to find out if he had any experience with my specific issue (skin blister) as I am not a medical professional and was unsure whether he only specialized in cosmetic issues. I asked my question to the clerk, and she said she would ask the doctor. She must've given him the phone because he picked up and started ranting about "Is this how you schedule all your appointments?...I'm a board certified doctor." I went on to explain I was just calling to find out if he would be able to treat me. With an attitude he responded "I went to school I am a trained Dermatologist....". Needless to say his rudeness and aggressive attitude turned me off. I will never see this doctor. If this is how he deals with prospective patients, I would not want to see his behavior in person or have such a mean-spirited doctor working on my skin. read more

It's rare to find a doctor like Dr. Babapour these days. He is a very kind man and a conservative dermatologist. We have conversations about life and other things outside of my skin. It's so rare to find a doctor that will look you in the eye, much less ask you how everything is going. I primarily go for skin/mole checks, and yet to have anything removed- he's not the type of Dr. that wants to remove every little thing, which I appreciate. I sent a family member there and he couldn't have been more pleased with Dr. Babapour. read more

Dr. Babapour is wonderful! He is very approachable and took the time to ask a lot of questions to figure out what the best treatment would be for my skin-he even demonstrated on himself to show me how to apply the cream! I highly recommend him! read more

I have seem more than 10 dermatologist since my teen years and Dr. Babapour is the best. He never make me wait more than 5 min on each visit and he always provide the best prescription under budget! And most of all, his treatment works! read more

He looked nice and knowledgeable, but I was overcharged and received bills for the lab tests which were never discussed with me. His front desk employee was rude and threatened to send my invoice to collection agency. I paid the statement, but am very unhappy. I will never go back there. Unethical, rude, and unfriendly MD! read more

My mother is 96 years old, almost 97, has dementia, is in a wheel chair and lives in a skilled nursing facility. She is on Medi-Cal and Medicare. She is friendly but doesn't understand some things and can react by getting upset. She has had a bump on her chest for several weeks and the nursing home wasn't able to get a dermatologist, so her regular primary doctor gave me a referral to Dr Babapour. Yesterday was my mom's appointment. I was not there, i was driving to a dental appointment when i got a call from Dr Babapour. He said he was with my mother and her attendant, and she seemed ok until he began taking the covering off of her lesion, and then she got upset, asking him if he was trying to kill her. This is not untypical for her when she doesn't understand something. He was very concerned and did not want her to have a frightening experience. He was able to look at the lesion and said it needed a biopsy. He suspected it was a skin cancer and he felt that it had been left untreated long enough. He said she needed a more advanced deeper biopsy than he was able to do in his office. He explained the procedure and told me what it was called. He asked if i would want a referral to another dermatologist he knew of who he said was able to do what my mom needed, which i did. I had no clue of what to do. He said he hoped she could get in for an appointment the next day but was doubtful on such short notice. I was in the dentist office about to have my teeth cleaned when he called back. He said he was able to get my mom entered into the other dermatologist's system and it looked like there was an early morning appointment, and he urged me to call right away and confirm the appointment with that doctor's office. He had already explained to me in the earlier conversation what she would need if the biopsy showed cancer as he expected was likely, she would then need to have the tumor removed, and it would be best if both the biopsy (which is pretty time consuming and involved) and the removal of the cancer could be done at the same time so she wouldn't have to go through this kind of thing twice. He said that the doctor should be able to do both the biopsy and if necessary the excision at the same time. So i did confirm the appointment and took care of all the paperwork when i got home. Apparently this short notice appointment was made to happen by Dr Babapour's intervention and contacting the other doctor. Dr Babapour called me last night, after office hours, to ask if i was able to get the appointment confirmed and necessary paperwork and everything. He was quite concerned and compassionate, seeing how my mom did not understand and felt threatened, and seeing that she needed the problem to be dealt with right away. Today the procedure was done, it was cancerous, exactly the kind Dr Babapour suspected, it was successfully treated and now is healing. He had asked me to call him today to tell him how it turned out and i did call his office and left him a message telling him it all went well and thanking him. I appreciate it. The other dermatologist's office was very good quality as Dr Babapour had described it. I also had easy and supportive communication with Dr Babapour's office staff who helped with scheduling the appointment with him, Emee. i'm not sure of the spelling of the name but i think that's how it sounded. Very friendly and patient, encouraging and kind (the whole thing was quite stressful for me). read more

I return here annually just because he's the only dermatologist I trust. He diagnosed another skin problem that other doctors had failed to recognize. It's a pleasure being treated by him. Thank you again! read more

Dr Babapour is efficient, punctual and kind. He has the best equipment and his prices are fair. He's a good listener and goes above and beyond what he is asked to do to help you out. read more

I have been a patient of Dr. Babapour's for nearly 8 years. I have seen him for insurance-covered skin conditions as well as for cosmetic procedures. He is easily the best physician I've ever encountered. Although I relocated out-of-state years ago, I find that he is well worth the air travel a couple of times a year. Dr. Babapour goes out of his way to make his patients comfortable. Unlike too many of his peers, he always makes himself available to address questions before or after an office visit, and he makes a point of following up with a phone call after each visit to inquire about his patients' recovery. Even my Walgreens pharmacists complimented me on his swift turnaround for all Rx-related inquiries. I also appreciate his conservative, no-nonsense approach to dermatology. He is honest about the effectiveness of skin treatments and will not hard-sell you on the latest fad, or on unproven or risky treatments. Finally, he is far more affordable than the ZIP code might suggest. read more

Dr Babapour is fantastic! His office was able to fit me in same day as a new patient for some hives that developed right before the start of a long holiday weekend. I am so grateful! Not only was he extremely knowledgeable, easy to talk to, and very patient, but he made me feel like he had all the time in world. He also returned my call promptly several days after the appointment, and took the time to discuss how I was doing and called in a refill for me. He never made me feel rushed at any point. I highly recommend him! read more
