How have I not reviewed Dr Brown, Christie and Angela yet! I only get to see Dr Brown occasionally but all 3 of these wonderful ladies welcome me as if we were friends who see each other every day!? It's amazing. Don't get me wrong, everything is always *extremely* professional, it's just got an amazing personal touch. I've been to a few cosmetic medical professionals, derm, dentists etc. They always seem more focused on what had the highest price tag rather than what will make you look best. Not Dr Brown. She has actually advised me NOT to get some extra services in the past because they would look unnatural. That is how a doctor should treat her patients, true and honest advice that is in the patient's best interest. Absolutely amazing - I recommend this place to everyone when I'm talking about my skin, you won't regret a visit!! *Edit, I forgot to mention I have recently moved to Northern California but I still come to see Dr Brown - let that speak for itself :) read more

Excellence all around. I came in with a Groupon six years ago and have happily paid full price ever since. Christie and Andrea are fun yet professional. Dr. Brown is an artist. One moment we're talking about our lives on the outside, the next she's marking up my face with a crayon with staidness. If I had to make one tiny complaint ... well ... I'd be out of luck. You could go cheaper, but you won't get better. If you read only one review, make it this one! I just underwent the Insta-Lift procedure and can't stop looking in the mirror. My jowls - the bane of my existence since my twenties - are just GONE. My eyes look somehow larger and I can wear a ponytail again. The process itself isn't a picnic, but it shaved off a dozen years. I even got a birthday discount. Worth it. Thank you, Dr. Brown! read more

I did not have the opportunity to see Dr. Brown, but I am giving a review based on my experience today with this office. My first impression was good. When I called, a human answered the phone, not a service or prompt system (Which I hate). The receptionist said they had one call ahead of me and would I mind being called back so as not to keep me on hold. Another great thing....yes my time is valuable, too. I appreciated that. And...they did in fact call back within 10 minutes. So great customer service so far..... I called because Dr. Brown is listed in dermatologists. If this office put her in this section, they need to remove her and put her in the appropriate section of Family physicians, as I was told that although she will 'look at your moles and freckles, that is not her field'. After I got the above information, and was still absorbing why I would want to book an appt with a doctor who isn't a dermatologist, to look at my skin, I was then told that the doctor does not accept insurance...any insurance....wait....what? Seriously? A doctor that doesn't accept insurance? Are you kidding me?? Wow...just...wow....yeah, no thank you. Dr. Brown gets 2.5 stars, but I always grade up, so she will receive a generous 3 today. read more

Saw Dr. Celia Brown for Microneedling and loved it. She's absolutely wonderful and looks amazing herself. The office makes you feel at home. Christie the office manager and Andraya are great too. Will be back for more! Have referred a few friends that's loved her too! Thank you! read more

Don't go here .... Dr Brown is not up to date with face fillers. She botched my face by selling me a laser that I did not need or work for my skin and face . When she did this laser she was rushed and did not good a good job, no one called or checked in with me afterward . She basically will sell you what she has not what u need !!!! Dr Brown injected numerous expensive fillers into my cheeks that did not work at all. She uses giant needles and leaves your skin injured and with bumps on injection site ! Dr Brown does not keep good track of her books . She is trying to get more money out of me saying I owe more than I actually do. I am very discounted with the products . The service and the tip off. Don't go there !!! read more

Awesome experience. Was recommended Dr. Brown through friend on Facebook, did my own research and finally made an appointment for botox. Extremely friendly office staff, very attentive and professional. Dr. Brown is a sweetheart, took her time to listen to my concerns and previous experiences, was very knowledgeable and conservative about amount of Botox to be used. Made several suggestions and addressed all my issues. The whole experience was professional, painless, and I am very happy with results read more

I have been going to Dr. Brown for over 6 years, and she is the only dermatologist I trust. She listens to my concerns, is very knowledgeable and I have loved the natural and conservative approach she takes aesthetically. I moved to Orange County several years ago and am more than happy to drive the hour and a half to Dr. Browns office. read more

Such a pleasant experience. From the moment I walked in. Both ladies at the front are so wonderful and accommodating. Dr Brown is pleasant and very knowledgeable. I look forward to seeing her again for my dermatology needs. read more

I found Dr. Brown on YELP. I was always against botox and juvederm until some creases on my upper lip sent me for help at the age of 50. I was vehemently against anything resembling a trout pout and was nervous the day or two before hand. But I have to say, I LOVE my lips. The shape is fuller but still natural and perfectly sized. I also took a small shot at each temple to pull the lid up just a tad. It looks super natural and was done with just the right amount. Dr Brown has a great hand and knows how to keep it real. I'm officially hooked. read more

I found Dr. Brown here on yelp, and I have to say: This was the BEST botox experience I have ever had! Let's start with Christy--the receptionist. She is beyond friendly and helpful. An absolute doll!! The whole atmosphere was super relaxing. Dr. Brown took the time to go over what I needed, and has such a gentle hand. She is a true botox artist! I absolutely loved the whole experience and highly recommend Dr. Celia Brown for any cosmetic needs!! read more

I've been going to Dr. Brown's office for a few weeks now and I'm just blown away by how terrific they are. From the minute you walk in the door you're greeted by the lovely smiling Christie before being introduced to Dr. Brown. Her office is comfy, cozy and homey. A perfect place to relax before your appointment. Meeting with Dr. Brown was a pleasure. She's very kind and caring. No Beverly Hills attitude. Just straight on knowledge without Beverly Hills prices either. Honest advice and no up selling. Aundrea has done my treatments and I can't begin to tell you how wonderful she is. Funny, sweet, helpful and her capability and expertise are off the charts. Can't recommend them highly enough. So happy I came here! read more

I've been going to Dr. Brown since 2014 for filler and botox. I have had nothing but good results and good experiences ever since. Dr. Brown will even tell you if something you're asking her to do won't look good. For example, I asked one time if I could have more filler around my face and she said it would look over-filled and that if she did more botox than what she recommended that my brow would start sloping down and not look good. I appreciate the honesty because anyone just looking to make more money would have done it and not cared, but she also knows that if I look bad, it's her reputation also on the line. Christie is also super sweet and makes you feel extremely welcome each and every time you see her or talk to her. I don't know if Aundrea still works there as I haven't seen her at the office since before the pandemic but she also was extremely caring and sweet. Always made me feel like I was part of the family! I have recommended other friends to go to Dr. Brown as well and they love her. I even have a friend in Northern California who is willing to travel to LA to get some services at Dr. Brown's office because she likes how natural mine always looks. read more

I was recommended to Dr. Brown by a friend. When I called to make the appointment, the assistant that answer the phone was so pleasant and welcoming. After I arrived I was not surprise of how I was treated. Christina and Andrea was kind and the energy was great it felt like two old friends that I haven't seen in years. Dr.Brown listen to all my concerns and some. I highly recommend Dr. Brown if you want to look great and feel great about yourself. Now my skin is glowing after several visits. I even stop by if I'm in the neighborhood to say hello. read more

I have coming to Dr. Brown's office for all of my skin care needs for over 2 years now, and have been very happy with everything. Treat yourself to a Facial treatment with, Aundrea Taylor. You will not be disappointed! read more

I discovered Dr. Brown through a friend 5 years ago,when much to my dismay I discovered veins! I was very cautious and nervous. She immediately made me feel at ease.I have been going to her ever since. She has seen me through Acne , dry dull skin, even an infected finger.....Not what I was seeing her for but she saved me a doctors visit and alot of pain! I cannot say enough about her expertise , compassion and perfectionism. I also appreciate that she really tries to keep her prices reasonable and understands we are not all celebrities,even moms need to be able to show some leg with confidence! Lovely Christy! Wonderful,wonderful,wonderful! Always going out of her way to help ,always a smile and understanding voice. read more

Just got a facial by Aundrea! My skin looks so clear and smooth. When you walk into Skin Renaissance you're immediately welcomed by Christine, who is so friendly. The decor is very renaissance, which speaks to the name. Aundrea is so lovely, welcoming and personable. She is thorough and gives you a facial that is custom to your skin needs. After the facial she explains the upkeep of your skin with recommendations. My new go to for facials. read more

Sad to say that I was really disappointed. The reviews I read were what got me in there to begin with. The staff were great but Dr Brown was rushed, not friendly and I would even say cold. In fact, as I was asking questions, she would say... "as I told you" pointing out that I had asked that question already or in some way. It can be confusing and overwhelming to be given a lot of information in a short amount of time and wanting to make sure I understood correctly only seemed to frustrate her. She even pointed out other things she felt I needed to have done while criticizing another providers work. My consultation time with her was probably 5 minutes until she said "I have to go" and walked out of the room. When I went out of the room kind of confused as to whether she was coming back or what... she walked by and I asked her a question... she said "I need to eat" and kept walking. I was pretty shocked. When I sat down with Christy snd the esthetician (who were both really nice) before I left. They asked "so, how'd it go?" I told them how I felt and how disappointed I was. They apologized and were sorry I felt such a way. They said they would talk to the doctor and share how I felt. I left and never heard from them again. Disappointed. read more

I have been to Dr. Brown's office three times now for my annual Restalyne injections. I have VERY deep circles under my eyes (no matter how much sleep I get!) Now that time continues to march all over my face, on Dr.'s advice I added a little Botox. I literally left the office LOOKING and FEELING younger. It is amazing the small change that a little filler can make - everyone commented how rested I look! Everyone at the office is just a joy to deal with. They are so kind and compassionate, even took the time to listen to my relationship woes if you will. From the courtyard oasis on the 1st floor as I call it to the fresh flowers from her garden throughout the office, Dr. Brown and her staff are simply wonderful as are the results! They deserve MORE THAN 5 stars! read more

I was very disappointed with the service I received in August 2019. I had some brown spots I wanted to get rid of brown spots and ask Dr Brown for suggestions. She recommended a PCA peel and told me my face would peel in a week or two. I paid $145.00 and had zero results. She also recommended a facial regime which I paid for over $200 and got zero results. Don't waste your money as she has an esthetician who does not know what she's doing and does are the facials for her. read more

These are some extremely sweet people here. Dr. Brown is extremely honest and attentive. Her staff office is filled with absolute sweethearts and I am so sad they don't do laser anymore. You can trust your skin with this doctor. I do! read more

I visited Dr. Browns office yesterday and the receptionist Christy is very sweet and helpful. Dr. Brown is very easy to talk to and made me feel very comfortable getting my vein laser treatment. I still have a few weeks to view the actual results of the treatment, and I might need to go back one more time. I left my last doctor because of the atmosphere of the office and the receptionists there were always very unprofessional. I even heard them gossiping about one of the patients in the office. It made me very uncomfortable and I should not feel uncomfortable going to get a treatment from my doctor. So the five star rating is for Dr. Brown's professionalism at her office and concern for my well-being. I will update you in the next few weeks to see what the end results of my treatments are. read more

Love Dr. Brown and her staff. She is extremely professional and knows what she is doing. Couldn't be happier with my skin.

I live in San Francisco and I go to Dr. Brown in Southern California because she is the best! My daughter, who lives in Southern California, introduced me to Dr. Brown about five years ago and I've been a twice a year client ever since. I got a face-lift when I was 59, but the effects only lasted about five years. After that, never wanting to go under the knife again, I decided to go to Dr. Brown for Juvederm and Botox to keep me looking..well just wonderful - refreshed and rejuvenated. Dr. Brown is a true artist - she injects just the right amount of Juvederm and Botox and she does it skillfully - the effect is you just look better and very natural. It's such a pleasure to visit Dr. Brown for the already stated reasons. The icing on the cake is Christy, Dr. Brown's assistant, who is a gem, a lovely, lovely person; she makes you feel so welcome. Jan R read more

Dr. Brown is the BEST doctor I have ever gone to for facial improvements. She is extremely knowledgeable, unbelievably skilled and takes the time to assess what would be the best look for each and every patient. Her techniques are painless and she explains everything she is doing and why. I cannot thank Dr. Brown enough. By the way, I found her on yelp. read more

Not only is Dr. Brown extremely talented at her craft, her bedside manner is spectacular. I have never met a physician who immediately felt like a close friend. She has even contacted me at times to check in and see how I am. Her assistant Christie and esthetician Andrea are two of the kindest women one could ever hope to meet. I have been coming here for years and the women in this office have become my extended family. The level of care I have received is unsurpassed. I have also found that their rates are much more reasonable than anywhere else. I will never go anywhere else. read more

All I can say is that Dr. Brown is one of the most helpful, sincere doctors I've ever met. She doesn't treat you like a walking dollar sign, she honestly tells you what you need. She and her staff are extremely personable and you feel comfortable the moment you walk into the office. Everyone is ALL smiles the moment you walk in. Long story short, I had a small growth on my eyelid and she and Rachel removed it then and there free of charge! Dr. Brown was there the whole time as well, usually dermatologists just leave the room when assigned the work to be done by another person but she closely monitored what was being done, which is very rare of doctors nowadays. I've gone to other doctors and they make it sound like I needed all sorts of lasers to zap it that would cost me hundreds of dollars! It literally took them 5 mins and I didn't suffer much pain, Rachel is very talented with what she does. I asked Dr. Brown if I needed any additional treatments and she honestly told me that all I need are skin facials and better products. Now I've been to a few dermatologists who either dismissed me or wanted to sell me a series of laser treatments like an agressive used car salesman. Dr. Brown was neither of these, she was very professional, kind and most of all SHE LISTENS. I'm really happy I went to see her. Please do not hesitate to go to this awesome doctor if you have skin problems. I highly recommend her. FIVE STARS. read more

I have been seeing Dr.Brown for about 4 years for both Botox and Juvederm. She is conservative in her work, she doesn't over do it and make you look like a plastic doll. She is very into the art of making a womans face look naturally beautiful. I notice someone here critiqued Dr. Brown suggesting she is not a dermatologist but a family doctor instead. It's my understanding she is a dermatologist who has chosen to specialize in the beauty end of her field. The same as some gynecologists only specialize in fertility an do not see patients for general gynecology appointments. read more

I can see why she gets 5 stars. Celia was extremely nice and helpful. I had miscommunicated with her receptionist about whether I was a good candidate to see the doctor (which I'm sure was my fault, I had an urgent issue and must have misunderstood). Dr. Brown specializes in cosmetic issues, and mine was different. Still, I'm glad I went to see her. For one thing, I was able to get an appointment relatively quickly compared to other doctors. She gave me some advice and referred me to a dermatologist that takes insurance, as well as several other doctors, including a paleo doctor, which is hard to find these days. No charge. She also took her time and didn't rush even though I wasn't on the clock. She seemed very competent, and I felt like all her opinions were based on experience and objectivity, not going through the motions. I also like the fact that her waiting room looks more like a museum or a European palace crossed with a Zen sanctuary than a waiting room. I think that's cool. It's in the far corner, toward the southwest on the second floor. Look for the red carpet. read more

I have been going to Dr. Brown for years. She is remarkable. Always pleasant, efficient and no matter what procedure you have she is great at it. Would recommend her very much. Randi G read more

I'm a fan of Dr. Brown. She's honest, efficient and fair with pricing. Her assitants are always very helpful and polite as well. Dr. Brown won't try to sell you products or services, She'll provide you with her professional feedback and will try her best to get the results you want. I haven't finished my treatments yet so I will update my rating once I finished but so far so good! I would reccomend to my family and friends. read more

I absolutely love this place. I have been going here for about 10 years and hope to continue to go for another 10. The office is bright, beautiful, clean, and private. The staff is friendly, nice, professional, and knowledgeable. Everyone can answer your questions thoroughly. Dr. Brown and her staff care about you as a patient and as a person. Dr. Brown is brilliant and unbelievably talented at assessing your individual needs and explaining the many available treatment options she can offer. She has a ton of experience with injectables and knows almost innately where they should be injected. You don't come out looking like the quintessential plasticky women that are abundant around here - with Dr. Brown, you'll achieve subtle but noticeable differences that definitely boost your confidence. You come here and you definitely get the results you were looking for. Dr. Brown is the best and I'll never go anywhere else. I absolutely recommend her office to anyone seeking beautification, minor or drastic. read more

Celia is my hero, she knows exactly how much I need of Botox without making me look like a frozen in time woman. She keeps me natural and young looking. I have been coming to her for 14 years now and would never dream of going anywhere else. The procedures that we impose on our faces can go catastrophically wrong, so placing your face in the hands of Dr Celia Brown is the best decision you can make. I have had micro needling, chemical peels and fillers and you would never have a clue! I am 51 and I think I look like a natural 40 year old! read more

Celia Brown office is amazing. All staff is supper friendly and profesional. I found my Esthetician Rachel Moyer through a friend three years ago. I suffered my teens and as young adult with acne- cystic acne and all wonderful thing that comes with it :( inlarged pores, loss of elasticity, dull skin, scars, uneven skin, redness, you name it I had it all. I was so desperate for help, I did everything that Rachel said to do with my skin care and I was amazed how soon I could see results. It took 3 to 4 treatments and my acne was 99% controlled, I had smaller pores, smooth and supple skin, healthy glow and everyone would ask and complement me, what a beautiful skin I have. 5 to 8 treatments my scars was gone. Now I see Rachel every month for maintenance sense I'am approaching my big 30's. She is specialist with over 10 plus years experience in treating acne and aging so I cannot wait to add my new anti- aging routine. God bless you Rachel. I feel so confident and beautiful. I never worry going out without make up anymore just a sunblock, lil lip gloss. I save so much $$$$ on make up and time to get ready. I love love love you. I will keep you guys ( yelp ) updated on my new anti-aging treatment results. Katya L read more

Dr. Celia Brown is awesome! Not only does she perform great work, her staff is super sweet and accommodating and her prices are reasonable. Also, she's a lovely person. All around a great experience! I love all my cosmetic stuff and it can be hard to find someone good who also has reasonable prices. read more

I wanted to leave a review and let the public know my experiences I've had at Dr Brown's office since I've been a patient. The staff, Dr Celia Brown, Andrea ( (estetician ), Christy ( receptionist ), have been wonderful to me and my son. Professional, honest, compassionate, understanding- This office is equipped with the latest technology and up to date w/ knowledge, for there clients. Would recommend this office to anyone looking for a fabulous Dr. and staff alike. read more

I coming back to write a review again! Dr. Brown prescribed a bleaching cream for my dark Spots on my face, which I caused during my pregnancy. It's a greatest product, I just saw the results within 5-6 days...Wow!!! Thank you Dr. Brown and staff, you guys are the best finally I can walk outside without heavy cover up ( make up). My face looks flawless...! :) read more

This place is truly the best. I have never been so happy with my skin! Ever since I have been going to Celia my skin has improved tremendously and continues to glow! I will always come to Celia! Couldn't recommend them more! read more

Dr. Brown is very hands on and attentive. She makes a genuine effort to get to know her clients. She made me feel very comfortable, safe, and taken care of in multiple ways. I believe that I got a very good price for a great service of lasering broken capillaries on my face. Thanks for everything Celia! read more

Dr. Brown was absolutely fabulous. She takes the time to consult with you before she starts any kind of treatment. Her and her staff made my experience a very comfortable one. Not to mention she's in a very convenient location. Will definitely be coming back! read more

Updating my prior 5star review only because after having gone here monthly for the past year Dr. Brown has gone "bate and switch" on me bumping up the cost $50 MORE per visit than the 90-$110 I normally pay for extractions, peel and cleaning (which is always done by Andrea who is great!) So if I continue coming (which I still need to regularly after a year so that actually makes me wonder if the products and skin regime was only an ongoing temporary solution for my skin???) it will be $160 per visit. Her reason is that they've changed product brands. This makes me sad because I thought I'd found a go-to place at last. Now I've gotta start all over somewhere else...and $90/visit seems to be the norm in town so idk how they're going to fare bringing in new clients with this anyhow. Was hoping they could work with me on it because of being a regular for so long but $110 would only get me extractions and cleaning they said. No peel and that was truly the effective part. Won't be coming back. read more
