The staff from the…read moremoment you check in to the moment you leave is incredibly helpful and communicative, especially when it comes to navigating my specific insurance. The waiting time has always been normal for a doctor's office, people sometimes expect instant appointments, but these are medical professionals doing thorough work, and I appreciate that.

They do not validate parking but that's also normal everywhere, so give yourself enough time to find street parking or simply park at their structure. Anyways, highly recommend this location! :)

I asked my primary doctor about the same medication and only paid around $10 for the exact same prescription. I later received multiple messages from Metropolitan dermatology, claiming that I owed a balance for Botox and fillers. A service which I never requested or received. It has now been three years later, I have never gone back and yet the business is still claiming that I have an outstanding balance for an alleged filler appointment. It should also be noted that the company failed to provide me with an itemized receipt or proof of service. Although the doctor was friendly upon my visit, I would highly recommend looking elsewhere due to the inflamed prices and lack of proper communication and documentation.

I simply need to sing the praises of my experience at this office. The Daenish office is filled,…read morenot only brilliant doctors but also people who are kind and have such wonderful bedside manner. Whether you're there for dermatology with Doctor Sid Danesh or for Laser treatment with his wife and beyond lovely woman, Doctor Gina Danesh, you're in such good hands. They are the dream team! Once you arrive, for one it's easy to get to, you just take the elevator up, and it's right there. The office is beautiful, and you can tell was set up with care, and with comfort in mind. When you get there and go up to the front desk to check in, you are met with absolute kindness, and all around good energies. Even if I'm in a bad pain day? My spirits are lifted just knowing I have an appointment here because everyone is truly that lovely. Going into my first appointment, I was very anxious and nervous. I personally struggle with a pretty severe disability and have had very many negative experiences with doctors who aren't kind or compassionate, gaslight you enough times where I was beyond nervous on the ride over. Arriving where the ambiance is so nice and the people are so kind? It helped me feel slightly more at ease, but I was still afraid to actually talk to the doctor (obviously I had never met him because he is such a kind Doctor) but not knowing that I was sort of panicked. Shortly after arriving I learned how blessed I truly am for my insurance to have referred me here. I started with Doctor Sid Danesh, my insurance sent me here initially so I really just got lucky, if I were you though, be proactive and request them if you can. You'll thank me later. Anyway, I was so nervous (which was probably obvious) and I explained my condition and why I was scared and what was going on and both him and his wife and the office, as a whole, to be honest were so beyond kind and accommodating. I felt heard and respected and then relieved when walked through my options for solutions. After all was said and done, all I had to do was go up front, set my next appointment, and they handled the rest, including my insurance. And what's really nice? They are so organized there too, so it's effortless. Whether it be that you have a busy life or are like me and your health is too much to manage, having an office who is on top of things, so you don't have to be? Think about how nice it is to not have to remember or set a reminder to follow up with your doctor? To have that level of trust because you know that they are on top of things? That's a gift in my opinion. After having been to this office with this power duo? I can't imagine going anywhere else and can definitely say that this is the place to go, and when you go there for yourself, you'll see why

For my yearly visit,I had my keloid scars injected and every injection is painless. I've been a patient with Dr.Danesh since 2019 and since then,my experience with him has been positive. You can tell how he cares when he takes time to go through with you on your needs for your skin or whatever problem. He doesn't rush his patients but rather he takes his time out of his day with his latter of caring for other patients to cater the needs of his patients with integrity and care and that is what you won't find in other dermatologist. Thank you again Dr,Danesh and staff for your top quality care for me and many other of the patients.

Dr. Gaspard is one of Pasadena's truest, rarest and most precious gems. She can properly Kris…read moreJenner you while wearing the crown of being THE skin cancer doctor your aunt will rave about. Derms often pick a lane (cosmetic or melanomas) but Dr. Gaspard swims gloriously through both while looking indeterminate age... My first appointment with Dr. Gaspard was as such: she sliced a potentially cancerous mole from my labia without blinking (maybe due to some botox) and then told me all about her trip to Seoul to study all things salmon sperm facials... Her passion and warmth comes through every time I see her--pants on or off. I immediately wanted to be her friend, but I'm working on boundaries with my therapist. On my way out minus one mole, I noticed a poster on the wall for her premiere membership program: AND.MY.HEART.STOPPED. Dr. Gaspard offers the most reasonably priced membership style way to try out all kinds of fancy skin treatments (lasers, peels, microneedling) on a monthly basis. You can select from all the hottest procedures for $350 a month. That is UNHEARD OF in LA . I asked Dr. Gaspard why she was electing to do this for her patients, i.e. make this affordable, and, she said simply that maintaining your skin should be far more accessible than it currently is--it should be within reach. (Not like designwithinreach where it's actually all insanely expensive and the fact that they call it designwithinreach is just cruel). This is actually in reach. She's basically Santa Claus in a white coat and her team, especially Gina, is great. Now, I come here once a month to try a new treatment for less than an Equinox membership and zero commute. ALSO YOU GET A DISCOUNT ON PRODUCTS. I didn't have cancer on my labia, but I bet you forgot about that being so blinded by what Dr. Gaspard has to offer. But, then, if you do have a weird mole, she's got you there too. FAN FOR LIFE

If she wasn't so dismissive and arrogant I wouldn't be writing this. I am too afraid to go back and have it "fixed." So I'm paying someone else to do that. Just a warning!

Don't get fillers here! They don't know what they are doing and just want your $$$!…read more I have waited to post this negative review as I typically don't post reviews and hate to post this, but I want others to know what I experienced at Skin and Beauty Center in Pasadena. I've been using Botox and fillers for years, elsewhere. I told them my concerns (nasolabial folds and lines around my mouth-- treated with filler by other practitioners as well as the lines needing Botox). They gave me a treatment plan along with the cost. After I paid for it and was very unhappy with the results after spending thousands of $ on Botox and filler, Dr. Shipman agreed the results were not as expected and could see why I was not happy. He said I would need to purchase even more filler to get better results and more Botox. If I had known in advance that the treatment plan was just a STARTING POINT and could potentially COST ME THOUSANDS MORE to get satisfactory results, I would have left right then and gone somewhere more knowlegeable, expereinced and priced less. Along with not knowing how much product I would potentially need, the nurse said Dr. Shipman should have used a different filler around my lips, as what he used was too thick and left me with uneven and bumpy areas around my lips and pretty much eliminated my top lip line (lipstick/gloss does not have a lip boarder now so it now bleeds off my lips.). After several conversations with the office manager, who emphasised my situation would be treated as a "learning experience" for Dr. Shipman and said she wanted to make me happy and a consultation with the nurse, they gave me a little more botox at no charge and suggested I purchase more filler and/or have at least 3 sessions (may need more) of laser treatment to a small area of my face (They later decided it wouldn't work). I explained I already spent a lot of money and did not want to spend any more. They said they could not refund my money or give me more filler because they had to pay for it (therefore, I would have to pay for it). They did offer to try to dissolve some of the filler around my lips at no charge. But said it was tricky! So pay for the filler, then have it removed with unpredictable results and still have to pay for it! So I am very unhappy and out thousands of dollars! I have since gone to a different doctor who knows what he's doing and got much better results for much less $! He said I should have asked for my money back. He said he would have refunded my money if my results were this poor. I told him I tried but they would not do anything.

From the beginning, this place has made it clear to me they don't care about their patients,…read moreespecially those with serious skin conditions. I was referred to them by altamed and the first time I went in, I was seen by their physician assistant Sakina who would constantly cut me off from speaking. She kept making guesses as to what my skin condition was and what caused it, even though I have had testing done to rule out things she mentioned. They then gave me an appointment 6 WEEKS AWAY to get my biopsy done, when you are meant to get it done immediately when the sample is fresh for a definitive diagnosis. Of course, when it came time for the appointment, my skin was healed and there was nothing left to biopsy. The PA essentially shrugged her shoulders and said to wait until I had another breakout, which is just absurd negligence. Now that my skin is starting to break out again, I have called numerous times only for them to not answer the phone even if I call early. The time I got through, I had a very short conversation where the receptionist was very short and blunt, and essentially dismissed my concerns. The few times I have gone into their office, there have only been at most a handful of people, which really shows the incompetence of the receptionists. I've sat in the lobby and listened to them do nothing but yap and cackle and they always talk to you with an attitude, whether in person or on the phone. It's obvious these people don't want to do their jobs, and why they chose this line of work where one is expected to help people in a courteous manner is beyond me. They seem to really love their Botox and cosmetic stuff though.
