Ive continued to have great experiences here. Not only is the entire staff lovely and accommodating, the facials are fantastic. I have sensitive skin, so even the fanciest facials have given me break outs- this is the only place that not only doesn't give me breakouts, but leaves my skin glowing! read more

Great easy location with lots of street parking. Everyone was nice and very thorough in answering any and all questions or concerns I might have. Having the miradry procedure done. Never ever sweating again, I mean, it doesn't really get any better than that. Teri, the consultant, is super sweet and accommodating. read more

All I will say is Stephanie Koch. I just had a facial and microdermabrasion with her, and my skin looks so clean, vibrant and dewy. I highly recommend her. read more

I wish I could give more than 5 stars. I had a perfect experience. Everyone was incredibly nice . I met with Christine Nell. She was so friendly, kind and informative. She spent a lot of time with me. She didn't pressure me to do any treatments or buy any products, which is rare. I truly felt like she gave me great advise and dealt with my concerns flawlessly. I can't recommend her enough. I'm so thrilled! read more

Let me start off by saying that previous facials I gotten in the past have all been extremely disappointed! Every person I have gone to have completely destroyed my face causing more zits to surface and also left scars on my face. I thought all hope was lost and I would never beable to see another facialist again. Nor did I want to at this point. A family member told me about Melanie and how great she is with sensitive skin so I thought I would go ahead and give her a try. I went to her months before my wedding. Then again a couple weeks before the actual wedding. My face looked so good that she barely had anything to extract all thanks to her. My skin was glowing and absolutely perfect for my wedding day. Needless to say I have been going to Melanie for a couple years now for facials. Great doesn't even explain how amazing this woman is I would never go to anybody else. Thanks to her I have my skin back and it looks incredible! Thank you again so much Melanie you are the best out there!!!! read more

Adore Dr. Shamban, love the staff, and love the way I look.

just had a deep pore cleaning facial with Rita, best facial i had in a very long time!!! cost every $ i spend!!!

My experience with Bernice at Ava MD was amazing. Having had bad experiences with fillers in the past, I had taken a break from injectables for several years when a friend recommended Bernice. I'm so happy I found her! I couldn't be more pleased with my results. In addition to her skill and experience, Bernice's warmth and kindness always make my day! read more

I know it's crazy, but I LOVE this place! The staff is warm and friendly, not intimidating. They are very sensitive to your needs and concerns and try very hard to make you beautiful without overly selling. The work that they do is highly professional and you will never leave there looking like a circus freak. Also ... A lovely, tastefully styled office. The real deal. read more

I would give 6 stars if I could! I have been to many different dermos, medspas and plastic surgeons looking to achieve clear, flawless skin. I have been hearing such great things about AVA MD so decided to try it. My expectations were definitely exceeded when I saw Dr. Breana (who is so sweet and beautiful btw). She spent time going over everything in detail, answering all of my questions and setting a plan in action with me. I'm getting a facial next week and I'm confident moving forward with them. I just wish I found them sooner and saved so much time and money! The cute brunette at the front was also super sweet and helpful. Definitely go see them, they really care! Don't be scared by the consultation cost, your insurance probably covers it. read more

In an update to my last review I am still going to Ava and have had other services since the smooth beam. I love the facials I have gotten from Melanie she is a staple in my monthly regimen now along with my boyfriend. She has transformed my boyfriends skin. I have also received fillers which have been great as well. Everyone there is amazing even the girls at the front are so helpful and courteous every time!!! I couldn't imagine going anywhere else. read more

I've been going to Ava Shamban's offices for almost 10 years now. From treating acne to preventing aging, through the years as my skin has changed, the people at Ava MD are always knowledgeable, friendly and experts in the cutting edge of dermatology. I see Stefanie for monthly facials where she does a thorough cleaning or a silk peel and I always walk out with a glow. read more

Amazing staff really helpful very happy with my whole experience. Really helped me out with my skin would highly recommend

Everyone at the Santa Monica branch of Ava MD could not be nicer. I go to Holly for Laser Hair Removal and she is unbelievably sweet and super thorough. Highly recommend. read more

Ava MD is the best place I have EVER been to! I have had acne all my life and the smooth beam is incredible! Just make sure you use ice and the numbing cream they give you as it is a wee bit painful. Way worth it!!!! read more

I went to Ava MD on the recommendation of a close friend. She was so right! I've been going there for a couple of years now and I have never had a bad experience. The staff are great! Not only have my treatments been effective, but Christine, who I see there, has gone above and beyond to make sure that I'm happy with the results and has encouraged me to come back if anything is not to my liking. Also, I really appreciate that anything cosmetic that they do (botox, restylane, etc) they are conservative and make sure that the results are always natural. I never worry about looking "frozen". Just love this place! read more

I have good skin (I grew up in Pittsburgh, where sun is limited to a few months annually ;), but frankly at 50 I need some help. I LOVE this place and I've never even seen Ava herself. They have a knack for hiring good people - smart, talented, articulate and open - and if you're looking for dermo a/k/a non-surgical rejuvenation, you're in great hands. And btw on the health side they are vigilant about skin and pre-cancerous checks. I love KerriAnn and Teri. read more

Ava MD is the best medical spa in Los Angeles. Everyone at the Beverly Hills location is an expert at what they do and they are also super friendly and helpful. I have been impressed with the honest opinions I've received there on what would be best for my skin, even if the recommended treatment is not one of their more expensive options. I completely trust them with my skin and I have been totally satisfied with every service I have received there. Sometimes it is hard to get in but I have found they try to squeeze you in if it as at all possible. read more

I have been going here for facials for a few years now and Stephanie is great! If you are looking for a spa experience this isn't for you but if you want an amazing facial that leaves your skin feeling amazing this is the place. I also love the fact that they don't try and sell you lots of products you don't need. They recommend products that are reasonably priced and effective. The office is super easy to schedule with and understanding if you need to cancel and reschedule. read more

I came to this office to get some filler for the "parentheses" around my mouth. Christine was a stunning professional with a gentle and confident demeanor as well as soft handling of the needle. I knew from the second I spoke with her that I was in good hands. I am extremely happy with my results although I paid twice as much as I did last time I did filler for my forehead in a different office. It was worth it. I highly recommend Christine for filler. If it wasn't for a snarky remark made by the front desk staff I would give this place 5 stars. read more

I've been going to Ava's for years - ages since I've seen HER, but have been in the most excellent care with Dr. Gregory Van Dyke. He is a genius with injectables - had Voluma in my cheeks a few months ago to counteract that mid-age fight with gravity and can't afford a proper face lift yet. Well, the results are FANTASTIC. What a lift it gave me without looking like I had anything done. Lesser injectables in the lower part of my face are also great - just wish they lasted longer. Love Dr. Van Dyke. Talented and caring. read more

Couldn't love this place more. Melanie has changed my skin after just 3 facials. Telling everyone I know to go and experience it for themselves. read more

I've been going to AVA MD for a couple years. My boss recommended I see Bernice Cohen, RN, PHN, BSN for my lasers and injectables (I have roscea and needed some wrinkle reduction help). From the first day I arrived I was impressed with their professionalism and I fell in love with everyone that works there. Kelly at the front desk amazes me with her ability to answer phones, deal with clients and arrange appts, juggling all this while talking to you and being her usual wonderful self. Bernice, see her bio online, has done wonders with my face. She used to be a model and has a critical eye. She will discuss with you your goals and then combined with her experience suggest an appropriate course of action. She is calm, concise, gentle and very good with a needle! Seriously...I've been to other offices and my boss was right, she's the best. As a caveat I like their clean bright offices and I love where they are located on Little Santa Monica Blvd. I can always find parking near the office, I've never had to park more than 2 blocks away. They are an easy walk from Century City, the mall and central Beverly Hills. read more

Walked in to AVA MD in Beverly Hills for the first time and Wow.. I was greeted immediately by the receptionists, they made me fill out a quick form for my consultation and I only waited about 15 minutes. I had my consultation with Karri-Ann and she was extremely kind, helpful and honest! She did not suggest me unnecessary products and treatments like what other dermatologists would commonly do! She said that my acne level can easily be treated and she even suggested cheaper products that works the same, if I don't have insurance! She was extremely informative, patient and understanding. She really took the time to understand my schedule and past experiences using other products and for the first time in my life I was not overwhelm with the new day and night face regime that Karri-Ann recommended for me : ) I am very pleased with my experience at AVA MD so far.. Looking forward to my first facial treatment in a few days! read more
