    The Doctor and his whole staff made me feel cared for and calm during my procedure. You can tell that they truly love what they are doing.

    Worst dermatology office I’ve ever been to. I had a cyst on my back, made an appointment for it to be removed, it was inflamed couldn’t. Second appointment, I arrived an hour before my time, only to be told that they couldn’t do it because they only remove them on wed/Friday. It’s been 6+ months with this thing on my back that they can seem to remove. And guess who still charges me…

    Bad facials as well as horrific, rude, and incompetent receptionists!

    I had a positive experience my first visit and saw the doctor. Subsequently, it was a nightmare.
    A follow up visit was with assistants, and when I asked for the doctor was told he only sees “surgical patients” now. They ran a battery of tests that were hundreds of dollars, and it took a full year and multiple calls to the office and to my insurance company to resolve. I was not apprised prior as to the specific tests and cost, nor informed that I would NOT be seeing the doctor!
    My last issue was cancelling an already booked visit because I was in hospital with a hip fracture and was told that I would be charged because I cancelled “too late”. When I pushed back, I was informed that it was “policy” which led to a an ugly verbal confrontation . She then yelled that I was no longer welcome due to MY rudeness, and hung up on me!!!!
    I have never had an experience with a doctors office like this and can only say, “ run don’t walk” away from this practice!!!

    So accommodating, available and thorough. Not like other derm offices making you wait months for an immediate problem you are having. Office and staff are friendly and easy to communicate with as well. I trust them and feel very taken care of :) also if there are issues after hours that is handled very well as well!

    I never leave bad reviews but I felt so taken advantage of here - Do NOT see Dr Behroozan for your injectables! He gave me frozen, asymmetrical Botox face and completely botched lip fillers. On top of that he overcharged me - his reasoning was they charge per site, not by the unit, but he charged me for fore fewer injection sites! (Whoops he didn’t even take the time to look at my record)

    He botched my lips so bad that they still look messed up. I specifically asked for LESS than a full syringe, and yet he still injected a full CC. No explanation or apology. I saw two dermatologist’s subsequently who both agreed my lips were overfilled and the vermillion border was breached. I looked like a duck they stuck out so bad. And the border still looks messed up (six months later).

    He did refund me for the botched lip injections (but not for the $500 I paid to have them dissolved). And he also added he thought it was probably fine (??!??)

    He urged me to give them another chance and said he’d throw me some free Botox if I did - so I made an appointment for crow’s feet only. Ended up charging me full price! And when I asked multiple times if he was going to honor the discounted Botox (the only reason I made the appointment) they said I had to pay full price and they’d contact me if the doctor intends to keep his word! (Haven’t heard back yet lol it’s been six months)

    You never see the actual dermatologist unless you need surgery. They will recommend treatments that don't work so you need to visit more and then up the bill.

    they had me pay 400 dollars out of pocket to give me a refill of medicine I told them didn’t work and referred me to other medical facilities where doctor’s names they listed didn’t exist and some numbers weren’t even in service. When I called them back to let them know this then they referred me to UCLA who said they needed a referral, I called back this office and they said they don’t do referrals but they’ll “look into it”. Some of the worst care I’ve experienced.

    Rude, impertinent, and ridiculous. Book an appointment and be on time to be told that you are late and be scolded like a child. Some kind of God complex going on with a loss of grasp that they are providing a service and that you are the customer. A ridiculous number of texts and calls to remind you of an appointment that they then don't keep. And the procedure was unnecessary anyway! Scammers. Beware.
