While I've only been to the clinic for Botox, I think Dr Dawood is one of the most gentle and knowledgeable Dermatologists. I've only had one other person do Botox on me before and I can assure you Dr Dawood is the best! The whole office and his team are so pleasant and it makes you want to go there. So gentle. Can't express that enough. Oh, and my Botox experience is always a great outcome! read more

I just had a session of laser tattoo removal at Sublime and my experience was flawless and exceptional. Dr. Ronnie knows what he's doing and is also very personable. I'm so happy I found this place. Thank you team for a great visit! read more

If you want to waste your time, this is the place to come. I have honestly never taken the time to leave a review for a business, whether my experience was good or bad, but after coming here NINE different times for treatment, this is crazy! Out of all nine appointments, I cannot remember a single time when I was seen on time. I made an effort to arrive early or at least right on time for my scheduled appointments, yet I consistently waited around 30 minutes past my appointment time. On multiple occasions, I waited close to an hour for treatments that were relatively simple. What made it even more frustrating was having morning appointments and arriving on time, only to find out that the person performing my treatment had not even arrived yet because they were running late. I completely understand that businesses can fall behind occasionally. However, when this happens consistently over nine separate visits, it is no longer an occasional delay it shows a complete lack of respect for clients' time. The overall environment also felt extremely unprofessional. My experience was disappointing from the very first appointment through my last. If you require clients to schedule appointments and expect them to arrive on time, that same level of consideration should be given to their time as well. After giving this place nine opportunities, I can confidently say I would not recommend it. read more

Was in dire need of a dermatologist because my skin was misbehaving. My skin was super dry and inflamed. Luckily I stumbled across this spot. Others mentioned Groupon but I went through my PPO insurance and discovered this thanks to Yelp. The PA Melissa was very direct and clear about my eczema. They take progress photos of your skin too. *Location: right off the 91. Exit Arlington and head to Indiana. Their office is in a smaller plaza that I almost missed. They're on the second floor. If you take the stairs, they will be located on your left. There's a sign that says 1 guest per patient due to COVID. *Service: Melissa was nice and direct with me. Front desk staff was okay. Some people wore masks and some didn't. The atmosphere is cool. Wait times will vary. PROS: they were able to slot me into an appointment the following day. CONS: not open on the weekends. read more

I have had great experience with my laser hair removal and tattoo removals. For the tattoos I do believe they treat them on a low setting but I'm glad about that, this is the only place that hasn't burnt TF out of my skin for tattoo removal or laser hair removal. There is one lady that works there who is rude and annoying (I don't know if she is the office staff or what), once she scolded me for arriving too early and told me I must never do that again. Another time she told me I'm not allowed to use my own lidocaine for my laser hair removal before I come in. I told her that the doctor said it's fine and she said "Well it's not, don't let it happen again" huh? Ok weirdo, not listening to you. But other than that they are great. Sometimes they run behind because they have a lead Dermatologist onsite who does actual medically necessary procedures in office. You can't rush those things. Also my laser girl doesn't rush me so that's probably why there is a wait some days because they actually care to talk to you and ask questions. read more

Horrible attempt at removing microblading! I should have done this review a few months ago but I've been so busy so I am finally getting to it. DO NOT COME HERE FOR TATTOO REMOVAL OR MICROBLADE REMOVAL! I came here to get a 2nd session of microblade removal. My first session was not here, it was a few years ago at Removery (that place is so much better). So all the brown color went away painlessly & instantly at Removery. The undertone of the ink was red and that's why I came to this place to get it removed. I was tired of using concealer and make up to cover the redness. The Dr did tell me I might need a few sessions and I was fine with that, I was not expecting it to all go away in one session. So the Dr. did the treatment and I was not shown a mirror after. I was told to book my next appointment in about 6 weeks. When my husband and I walked out and got into the elevator I asked him if my eyebrows looked better? He then told me, "well it's just red". When I got into the car and looked in the mirror I could not believe my eyes! My eyebrows looked like someone put a red sharpie to them! I figured it would go away soon since it was right after. This did not happen at Removery! Well my eyebrows were bright red and scabby for 2 weeks! I had to wear sunglasses each time I went out! When it was time to make the next appointment I contacted the office and let them know that the redness on my eyebrows was now worse than before I went to them and I asked for a refund. They said they would contact me later that day. I also told them I had pictures as proof. I waited 3 days then contacted them again. They did not want to refund me. They said I had been told it would be a few sessions and I agree they did but I was never told nor did I think the red pigment would get worse and I'd need to cover my face because it was so red! They did offer a free session but I had just started a new job and I worked the hours the office was open and I explained I can not afford to miss work already and risk having to cover my face all over again for weeks. Plus they are not open on weekends. I had already paid $250 for the first session, even with a free session let's say the pigment got back to where it was initially then I'd need to pay another $250 just to start seeing any improvement?? $500 and 3 (1free) sessions in order to show any actual removal happening was definitely not worth it to me! I wish they would make this right and give me a refund but honestly I don't think they care. read more

I was very impressed with Dr. Dawood and his staff as they were very professional yet personable. I went in with a specific issue which they addressed at a reasonable cost and they did not attempt to upsell me. When the time comes to have other procedures done this will definitely be my choice and already I've had two people ask for their number and I've only been home an hour. I guess honest dermatologists who know what they're doing are hard to come by. This one's a keeper. read more

Everyone is wonderful. Although I'm new to this place I feel very comfortable. I feel alittle rushed when I'm there which can be irritating but the doctor seems to know what he's doing. I'll keep you posted on my future visits. read more

I had a great experience overall! The staff was friendly and knowledgeable, making me feel comfortable during my visit. The treatments were effective, and I noticed improvements in my skin. However, I felt the wait time could be improved. read more

Dr Dawood is an outstanding Dermatologist and highly skilled especially with the CO2 laser which offers the best skin tightening. Plus there's lots of other skin treatments he offers. His assistant Deanna is very knowledgeable, sweet, and helpful which is hard to find in this industry especially in Riverside. Both Dr Dawood and Deanna made my sister and I feel comfortable, confident that we were in good hands, and provided us with a warm and inviting atmosphere as my sister was prepared for her treatment. I would highly recommend this place and their treatments. My sister's skin looks flawless and amazing after she healed from her treatment. My sister is 59 but could pass now for 15 years younger! I can't wait to get my treatment! read more

I got appointment within 24 hours of calling. Professional staff and doctor. Clean modern office.

I love this place, my husband introduced me & I've been getting my tattoo removal services & other services for a few years now.

Great place overall. The staff is friendly, the office is clean, organized & beautifully designed. Dr. Dawood & his team are professional; I like that he offers so many services. From dermatology, to tattoo removal, to med spa services as well. He has several locations so that makes him very accessible. read more

This is the first time I've ever gone for any kind of face "treatments." A coworker has gotten treatments done here, so I decided to try it. Pros: the office is clean and the staff is friendly. I appreciate the initial consultation for treating the bags under my eyes. Dr. Dawood suggested starting with a filler, and see if I like the results. If not, there was a more expensive and painful Plan B. So, after Plan A did not yield the results that I wanted, I started microneedling as Plan B. Cons: 1. Wait time to be seen. I have waited between 20-30 minutes for morning appointments. I have waited between 30-60 minutes for afternoon appointments, with Dr. Dawood offering a quick apology for running late as he enters the room. 2. After the fourth treatment micro-needling, I was left with severe "discoloration" (which looked like bruises) under my eyes. If I wanted to alleviate the "discoloration" I needed to get laser treatments. I understand that Dr. Dawood cannot predict how my skin will react to the treatments, so I continued with four laser treatments. They are very painful! 3. Demeanor: unempathetic. During the laser treatments, Dr. Dawood did not acknowledge the extreme discomfort of the burning laser. No comment on if he was almost done, or "hang in there." After the treatment, he did not ask how I was feeling or offer any "follow up" care of my burning face. I had to ask the assistant. Dr. Dawood's comment before he walked out the door was, "I'll see you in three months for the botox." I took it upon myself to make sure that I had the creams that I needed for the aftercare. I also had to google "laser treatment care" because it had been a couple of months since the last one and I needed a refresher. All in all, if you want a factory, assembly line kind of experience, where the wait time for the client is not important, this is the clinic for you. read more

This review is a little overdue. I saw Dr Dawood in November 2021 initially for Botox. As the Dr was administering the Botox he said "if you're ever interested we could do some filler here..." and he also asked about a mole that I had always hated in my hairline and again offered if I was interested in the future... His approach was not pushy, rude or condescending. It was clear that he genuinely wanted me to look and feel my best. I came in the following week for both procedures. He was thorough, answered all my questions and took his time with me. When he was finished I was brought to tears by how happy I was with the results!! Two things that had always bothered me were resolved. He helped me look and feel my best just in time for my son's wedding. I will always appreciate that! The wait was a little long, but worth every minute! read more

Heard about this office offering micro-needling and decided to give it a try last week. Office staff was friendly and answered all of my questions I had about the procedure. After about 5 minutes of waiting I was taken to a room and prepped. I was kind of scared at first since I don't like needles, but the procedure didn't hurt and it was relatively quick. After I was a little red, but my skin felt super tight and looked shiny. The following morning I was no longer red, but my skin was lightly peeling, so I used the moisturizer that came with the procedure. A couple days later I noticed that my pores were smaller and my skin was still shiny, tight, and now super smooth! Definitely gonna buy another treatment, can't wait to get this done again next month! read more

Dr. Dawood was fantastic and made a mole removal very painless and easy. I'd highly recommend going to see him!

Wow! Amazing results from CO2 laser- took off 10 years!!! Don't hesitate- professional and attentive !!!

Dr. Ronnie is the man to see, he made my wife's roast beef sandwich look like a fresh creased quesadilla. Perfection.

I came to them as a first time Botox customer. I was nervous and didn't know what to expect. The lingo is hard to follow especially when you're not used to paying money for this type of work. After being given realistic exceptions and prices I was comfortable in trying filler to give a subtle natural look. Dr Dawood and his staff understood the various types of patients coming in and I personally appreciated that. Looking forward to maintaining with this office. read more

I had an appointment at 10:30 today. I waited until 11:15 and the doctor still did not come in to see me. I would have understood if he was busy but there were literally zero patients in the entire establishment. When I walked out the doctor was sitting on his phone texting, he wasn't even busy! What a joke. As somebody who has two children, one of them a new baby, this blatant disrespect of my precious time is totally unacceptable, especially since I waited weeks for this appointment. I usually drive 30 minutes to Senza in Redlands and I thought I would save some time by staying local but that was a mistake. I highly recommend Senza and will be going back there instead. Sidenote: the doctor at Sublime MD has a bad attitude too but I was willing to put up with that because he was convenient and effective. Now that he is no longer convenient there is really no reason to visit this establishment, ever. For other busy moms out there who need help, you won't find it here. read more

My 2nd visit was MUCH better. I only waited about 5 minutes past my appt time and my laser tech PA Erica was great. Without the wait, i liked my laser appt very much. It was fast, efficient and done. easy peasy and PA erica was great, friendly, thorough. Yay! read more

I've been coming here for about a year now for Botox. Up until today the service was always great, but today was different. I should have known some things had changed when I called to see if there was any other availability for today & I was spoken to rudely & hung up on, but I came on in anyways. The man who did my Botox didn't even consult with me on how many units I wanted before just abruptly starting. & The receptionist was really rude from start to finish, not helpful at all. Won't be coming back here. read more

I came in to get a tattoo removal they were sooooo informative and kind! I asked about CO2 laser resurfacing and got all the information needed by everybody. They are all so friendly here. I'm currently waiting to get my treatment done. Very excited! Will post before and after :)! 10/10 recommend so far. Great customer service:)! I'm coming back ASAP looking forward to starting their skincare regimen they put me on as well as maybe getting some fillers :)! Very very knowledgeable staff and doctor. LOVE THEM! read more

Re: CO2 Fractional Laser Treatment I read previous reviews about customers getting the "sales pitch" to upgrade their original purchase so I was expecting that when I arrived as well as other reviews regarding long wait times in the lobby/waiting rooms. The wait was long but good service supersedes this any day. The doctor apologized for the wait the second he arrived. He took the time to answer all of my questions, told me about my individual needs, mentioned the available upgrades (in no way tried to pressure or sell me), and was accommodating in every way possible. I'm not judging but I feel as though if you come into a place of business, you should be advised of additional procedures that may benefit your specific condition so those that complained in previous posts of being haggled for additional procedures definitely had a different experience then me. Any doctors office has a wait and even more so when the doctor is in demand. I will update with the results on/after Feb 1st, 2022 since this was my pre-op appointment. read more

Not the best experience. I came in with a Groupon for botox the front staff was very nice but once the doctor came in he was so obviously in a rush and rude as h*ll. He continuously told me I didn't need the procedure I wanted because I am young. I was eligible for the procedure, just had a rough time with the person doing it. Also the entire staff was not wearing masks. read more

Got an awesome, affordable Groupon for 3 laser hair removal treatments on 3 areas & I was thoroughly impressed. The place is really nice, very clean, & smells good on the inside. In addition, the staff is super friendly! During my first visit, 2 ladies were being trained on how to use the hair removal machine so I got hands on treatment from the doctor. I thought I was super cool because I even got to wear his special goggles. LOL The process was quick & other than feeling a few slight zaps (and having to smell the hair burning off), it's nearly painless. I have dark, dry, sensitive skin, and didn't have any blemishes, burns or bruises on my upper lip, tummy, or armpits after any of my sessions. The treatments are pretty amazing! I haven't had any additional appointments since the first 3, and my hair still grows back very slowly & is very thin (instead of being thick & coarse). Special deals are offered to all clients who purchase Groupons even after your 3 sessions have been completed. I highly recommend this place for your laser hair removal needs. You'll be pleasantly pleased! :-) read more

Let me start by saying I thought I went in just to get a consultation on tattoo removal, but Dr. Dawood was clearly a car salesman in a previous life. Lol, jokes aside, Dawood made me feel very comfortable and was very patient and understanding. The removal i needed could have easily been an awkward experience because of the location, however, Dawood and his staff were fantastic. He was sure to provide me with options as well as time to consider what I needed. He also explained the removal process with me in great detail to really prepare me as best he could, and was super friendly and outgoing which i appreciate tremendously. Overall, I'm so glad I went and am looking forward to my next session with Dr. Dawood. Thank you Dawood and to all of the staff! read more

I'm not usually a Yelp reviewer. But when I am genuinely impressed by a business I feel it's necessary to come on here and give feedback. It's the least I can do for a business that puts a patient/client above their bottom line. I went into Sublime MD off of a Groupon. So I expected to just be treated like a Groupon patient with the usual up-sell or dismissal if I chose not to agree to an up-sell. The doctor and staff were not like that at all. They are very relaxed and easy going and will tell you exactly what you need without trying to sell you on something you don't need. I felt remarkably comfortable each time I left the office. Dr. Dawood and his staff are very easy to talk to and professional and you will want to make Dr. Dawood your primary dermatologist after going there. read more

I have gotten my lips filled probably about 8 times over the past 5 years at multiple places in Southern California and on the East Coast. I would switch offices a lot because I was never 100% satisfied with how they turned out. When Emma did my lips, it was basically painless and also the least amount of bruising I have ever had. I love how they turned out and receive compliments on them all the time. I loved my results at Sublime so much the first time that I came back for a full face of Botox. Again, had such a great experience and love how comfortable and confident Emma helped make me feel with my Botox and fillers. We talked about what results I was looking for at the beginning of my appointment, and Emma was super patient and kind when explaining the process. Would 10/10 recommend for first time patients, as well as injectable veterans. The office is very clean and the staff are so friendly. It is definitely worth my hour drive to come here. read more

Not a happy customer. I wouldn't waste my money here on tattoo removal. I've had two tattoos removed at a dermatologist before. Three sessions and both were completely gone. You can not even tell I ever had them. With that experience, the treated area blistered up, ointment was applied and they were kept covered for a week. With Sublime, there was no blistering, was told not to put anything on the treated area and to keep the area uncovered. Upon doing research, everything that happened with my dermatologists experience was spot on! I am assuming that Sublime keeps the laser way too low in order for you to have to pay for more sessions. I've been twice and you can't even tell. I have a third session that's half paid for, but at this point I don't think it's even worth going back. Let me be clear though, the staff is absolutely sweet, caring and professional. Unfortunately, kindness isn't going to remove my tattoos like I need. read more

Zero-zero-zero results I found them on Groupon and called them to see if they're open and they said don't buy the Groupon just come in the office and they would honor it. Right there they should have set off a red flag. After all they're trying to cut out coupon from their profit. Anyhow I spend $1,000 and get zero results I'm highly upset I went back and nothing ever changed he injected a couple more units of Botox but absolutely did nothing. I think he injected Saline !! I would not recommend this place whatsoever I went back for a read more

Although I don't use my real name on yelp, I just wanted thank Dr Dawood for the laser treatment I've been receiving for my acne scars. He's taken care of everything so professionally. I wasn't quite satisfied with the first treatment I got, so Dr Dawood offered me a free second treatment. He is very kind and helpful. He really cared about the result more than I did. His staff are very friendly, and answer all questions sufficiently, especially Dustin. Thank you all. read more
